Did You Know? Not All Construction Work Can Be Performed by a General Contractor.

In Idaho, general contractors play a vital role in managing construction projects, coordinating trades, and overseeing building work. However, certain specialty trades require specific state licensing.

⚡ **Electrical work is one of those trades.**

A registered general contractor may build, remodel, and manage a project, but Idaho law requires electrical installations, alterations, and repairs to be performed by properly licensed electrical contractors and electricians.

Examples of work that requires an Idaho electrical license include:

✔️ Installing new circuits
✔️ Wiring additions and remodels
✔️ Replacing electrical panels
✔️ Service upgrades
✔️ Generator installations
✔️ EV charger installations

This licensing requirement helps ensure electrical work is completed safely, meets current code requirements, and protects homeowners, businesses, and occupants.

When planning a construction or remodeling project, make sure licensed professionals are handling the specialized trades involved. Proper licensing helps ensure your project is safe, compliant, and built to last.

Have questions about electrical requirements for your next project? Honest Electric is always happy to help.

Garage Outlet Requirements

Based on NEC 210.52(G)

Your garage isn't just for parking.

The NEC requires receptacles in garages to help support the equipment homeowners commonly use.

Think:
🔧 Tools
🚲 Battery chargers
🧰 Workbenches
🌱 Lawn equipment

A well-powered garage is one of the most useful spaces in a home.

June 29th Memorial planned for June 29, 2026

Kootenai County Fire & Rescue and the Coeur d’Alene Fire Department will honor our fallen brothers with a remembrance ceremony at 10:00am on June 29, 2026. This brief ceremony will be held at the Avista Pavilion at McEuen Park in Coeur d’Alene. Personnel from both fire departments and their families will be remembering our lost brothers, friends, and mentors- John G. Morrison and Frank J. Harwood.

McEuen Park will remain open during this event, and the public is invited to attend. We would like to provide the community with an opportunity to pay their respects, and to allow the fire service community a chance to give our thanks to all those that have supported us through this horrible incident. Please be aware that access and parking will be limited, so those attending should plan accordingly.

Our community showed up for us in an extraordinary way last year, and we are deeply grateful. Thank you to everyone who visited our stations, joined the processions, and lined our roadways as we transported our brothers to and from Spokane. Thank you also to all who participated in fundraisers for the families, donated to the Red and Blue Foundation and the Jeff Welch Foundation, left handmade tributes, or simply stopped to check on us. Your love and support have
meant more than words can express.

There will be a designated area at the pavilion for media coverage during the memorial. We will have designated Fire Department personnel available to interact with the media from 9:00-9:30a.m. prior to the event. Additionally, we will be holding a joint press conference for all interested parties on Thursday June 18, 2026, at 10:00am at the KCFR “Frank J Harwood Training Campus” located at 5271 E. Seltice Way in Post Falls.
