A. Certificate Required: No electric utility company shall connect to any electrical installation of any kind whatsoever, until furnished with a certificate of approval providing for such connection duly executed by the electrical inspector.
B. Temporary Certificate: When, for good and sufficient cause, it is necessary to have electrical energy available at any installation before a final certificate can be issued, the electrical inspector shall, if the parts to which the current is to be applied are in safe and satisfactory condition, issue a temporary certificate. The issuance of such temporary certificate shall constitute the grant of authority to the electric utility company to provide electrical energy to the installation. When a temporary service is installed satisfactorily to the electrical inspector, the electric utility company will not be permitted to make a connection to permanent service until after a final inspection certificate has been issued.
C. Final Certificate: The electrical certificate will not be issued prior to the issuance of the plumbing certificate. On the completion of the work covered by a permit as herein set forth, if such work is performed according to the provisions of this chapter, the electrical inspector shall issue a certificate of approval and therein certify that the electrical work is in accordance with this chapter. Provided, however, that whenever a permit is issued for any new wiring as an addition to old existing wiring or work, which existing work does not comply with this chapter, but is of at least no. 14 size wire on fifteen (15) ampere circuits, then the electrical inspector shall issue a certificate of approval without requiring the replacement of such existing wiring and other electrical fixtures, provided the new work for which the permit was issued complies with this chapter, and provided, further, that the existing wiring is of sufficient capacity so as not to be dangerous to life or property.
