ELECTRICAL SAFETY

John Lemaire, VP, Nassau Electric League, Neighbor

Be sure your electrician is licensed!  A resident can check if their electrician is licensed by checking the NEL website at www.NassauElectricLeague.com. Many homes have severe electrical damage from Storm Sandy and residents must be careful to only let a licensed professional repair this damage.  In Nassau County, contractors should have a Nassau County License. A licensed contractor is insured to work in your home and is educated on town codes and protocol. Your safety is very important. Please be careful and check credentials.
