What an electrical workmanship warranty is for
Electrical callbacks are usually simple, a loose connection or a breaker that trips, but customers worry they will pay for your mistake. A short warranty that covers your labor on the circuits and devices you installed, separates fixtures and chargers that carry their own maker's warranty, and excludes changes by others, makes the callback conversation easy.
