Before you hire an electrician, consider asking them a few questions about their services. To ensure you are hiring a qualified electrician to complete work in your home, it is important that you have a little information first. A qualified, professional electrician won’t mind answering some simple questions and should have the right answers before you hire them to do the job.
What Experience Do You Have?
A reliable electrician will have hands-on experience in the electrical industry. It is also important to find someone who specifically has experience with the type of project you are looking to complete. Be sure to ask for references to find out about work this electrician has previously done. Testimonials from other customers will help you know that you have hired someone who can do the job right. A trusted electrician should be able to offer 3 to 5 references for you to call.
Are You Insured?
Knowing that an electrician has insurance will ease your mind. Insurance protects not only the workers but also your home, should an accident ever occur while the electrician is in your home. If an accident occurs on the job site, the contractor or company would be liable to cover the expenses and not you. Hiring an uninsured electrician may mean that they could come after you for money should they injure themselves on the job. While you may think you are in the clear and this would never happen, it happens more than you think, so inquire as to whether or not the electrician you are looking to hire is insured and give yourself peace of mind.
What Will This Project Entail?
Getting an estimated quote before a project begins will give you an outline of what to expect. Have the electrician provide you with a breakdown of what they plan to do to complete the project so there are no surprises or added costs later down the road. Be sure to also ask how long the project will take from start to finish. It’s important to know if you will be without electricity at any time during this project so you can plan for that. Hiring an electrician that charges by the job instead of by the hour is a smart choice. You want to know the details of what is being done, how long it will take, and how much it will cost to ensure your money is being spent wisely and not wasted on hourly wages. A trusted electrician will be honest with you from the beginning, fair in their pricing, and willing to answer any and all questions you might have. They should offer you a guarantee that the work will be completed and done right or they will make any necessary repairs until the job is done. Call several electricians and get quotes from each one until you find the one you feel comfortable working with. As the customer, your safety and concerns should come first.
