If you have invested your time, money and expertise in building a professional reputation as a residential contractor, participating in the +5 Homeowners Electrical Protection Plan should be an easy decision for you.

There is no fee to join the +5 Plan; it just requires your commitment to uphold professional excellence as a contractor and use +5 electricians. Too many households have burned down or been severely and unnecessarily damaged, and even worse, lives lost, because of corners that were cut and electrical installations that were not performed by a qualified, trained electrician.

The major drive behind the +5 program is to raise the level of professionalism among contractors and electricians, and educate homeowners so they know what to expect and demand from the industry. Ultimately, that means safer homes and safer families.
