When it comes to electrician services, it’s important to make sure the work is completed by a professionally trained & licensed electrician. A certified electrical contractor is also going to have knowledge about regulations, permits and codes needed for the job.

Whether you’re hiring an apprentice, journeyman or master electrician, ensure your contractor (or their supervisor) has the necessary technical license, skills and knowledge of local codes before any work begins.

While a soft quote can usually be given over the phone, getting an accurate estimate will need to be done in person. After diagnosing the issue, your electrician should provide a firm price quote. Be sure to ask if the cost includes labor and material, so you can avoid any hidden fees.

Many times, electricians have expertise in certain areas (such as residential, commercial or industrial). Hiring an electrician that specializes in the work you need will ensure a job well done and prevent future problems.

Electrical repairs and installations should always come with a guarantee. A reputable electrician will agree to repair or replace any problems directly related to the service provided for a minimum of 30 days after the task is completed.
