When doing electrical projects, it is important to hire a qualified electrician. Hiring an electrician can be a difficult task to those who are unfamiliar with the process of choosing a qualified electrician for their electrical project. These simple step will assist you in choosing a qualified electrician.
Step 1: Make sure they have an Electrician's License and it is current.
Step 2: Ask for references and pictures of work done. With today's technology, there is really no reason to not be able to take pictures of different projects worked on.
Step 3: Trust your feelings when talking to the electrician. If you don't feel right about the person, then don't hire them. Trust yourself and your judgment.
Step 4: How does the electrician interact with you? Do they use swear words when they talk? Do they smell like alcohol? Do they have good hygiene?
Step 5: Ask your friends and neighbors if they know of an electrician for your project.
Step 6: Have the electrician look at the project and provide you with a written quote for parts, labor and anything else that will be needed to complete the project. Get at least 3 different quotes from different electricians. Don't let any electrician pressure you for the job, if one does, something is wrong and crossed them immediately off your list. A good electrician will allow you time to check their references. An electrician who pressures you for the job is afraid you will check their references only to find they are fake and non-existent.
Step 6: Check references. Ask questions such as did they do the job on time and within budget? Would they hire them again?
Step 7: Does the electrician guarantee work will be done within code?
Step 8: Will the electrician correct any work that is not within code at no charge to you?
You should now be armed well enough to choose a qualified electrician. Your choice of hiring which electrician will be based on cost, qualifications, and your own personal impression.
