Insurance, Liability, and Handyman replacing bath vanity light
I tried posting a similar question in the landlord forum, but I didn't get a response that really spoke to the legal/liability issues with electrical work.
I know I need a licensed electrician to do any work in the main panel to avoid a liability issue. I also know I can have a handyman replace a lightbulb without causing liability issues or causing any concern for my insurance company.
What I am hoping to learn here is a bit more about where the liability cutoff might be between work that can be done by a handyman and work that requires a licensed electrician.
Is it O.K. liability wise, to have a handyman:
- Replace a bathroom light fixture.
- Replace a ceiling fan.
- Replace a switch.
- Replace an outlet.
- Replace a standard screw in lightbulb.
- Repair a loose outlet box.
