Legal Question in Construction Law in Pennsylvania

Liability

I do electrical work in residential PA. Ocassionally I find that I may repair something to code, however I feel that there may still be conditions that (i.e. homeowners electrical heat possibly initially improperly installed)and I tell them so. But I want to remove my self from liability if the house burns down at some time

Re: Liability

Sir, you should start by forming an LLC to do business under. This will protect your personal assets in the event anything does happen. Also, you could further protect yourself in such situations by informing the homeowner in wiritng of the condition and getting a signature from them indicating that they are aware of the other problems and have chosen not to employ you to remedy the situation.

You can contact me directly below if you have any other questions or if you need help setting up the LLC. This can be done very, very cheaply and offers an unbelievable level of protection.
