What we do not do

• Do not publish fake reviews or fabricated contractor profiles.
• Do not claim electrical licenses or HICPA registrations we do not hold (we are a referral directory).
• Do not perform electrical work — work is by independent licensed electricians.
• Do not provide electrical-code interpretation. NEC adoption, local amendments, and AHJ requirements vary across Pennsylvania municipalities; always defer to the permit office with jurisdiction over your property.
