I would not let an electrician in the house if I thought he needed an inspection on such a simple job. Do you pull a permit when you have a plumber in the house?
For my own house, and because I have a pretty good idea how things are supposed to work (EE background), I might be fine without a permit as I will look over everything they do carefully.
But I’ve seen some pretty bad things that some electricians have done, either to be cheap or quick or stupid or all three.
I’m not going to recommend skipping out on a permit for anything over 30a, unless they are well informed.
