Electrical Advice Needed

[Ducbert]

Going to be re-wiring our detached garage.

If want to replace existing wire and pathing (to many switches, got a switch for every light, want to tie them all together) and add some outlets to the garage, do I need to have it inspected once done?

Better safe than sorry. :)

To get it inspected you must get a permit before you start and will have to have it inspected at different stages of the work.
Also if everything is not done to code, including anything done previously that do not intend to change you may be required to bring up to code.

getting the permit and the inspections is the safe way to go but could be a huge pain in your you know what.

As an electrician I never get a permit or inspection for anything at home.

Doctors are their own worst patients, and never buy a mechanics car!!:D

Very true, but if you are perfect no one needs to check up on you.
