    Both correct, the electrical trade is a bummer. There are regs but exist only on paper. As Mikilianis said: thoroughly and properly, but don't expect to find that when you get on site. There are only a handful of sparkies' that still work according to the book. It gets worse every day , but you cannot blame them. You can only bang your head against a brick wall so many times.

    Someone's responsible

    If you don't blame the sparky doing a bad job, who do you blame?

    But the customer doesn't set the price, even then.
