These new regulations (PE something?), what does it mean if your electrician doesn't have them, though is otherwise qualified? Is it true you have to pay another electrician to inspect his work, thus paying twice for the same job?

Document P is the beast. New circuits, kitchen, bathroom and anything outside require an authorized person. otherwise you have to notify the local authority and arrange for inspection and certification.

Is this guy a journeyman electrician? That's a guy who is training under a licensed electrician. If he is adding voltage to the main box, I would get someone else to take a look at his work. If he is only repairing any current switches, then you're fine!

pe something probably refers to some sort of test that the electrician has taken and passed. so i would advise hiring someone who has that, otherwise, you might get someone who may sound like he knows what he's doing when he really doesn't.
