5 Steps To Recognizing Trustworthy Electricians

November 23, 2021 by Cliff James

When you hire a professional to complete maintenance or repairs on your home, you are trusting that the pro is an expert who will care for your home as well as you would. With this in mind, it makes sense that you would spend some time and put some effort into finding an electrician. Use the following steps to help identify the person who will save you time and money while improving the quality of workmanship throughout your electrical system:


Step 1: Gather Recommendations

One of the best ways to recognize trustworthy professionals is to ask for recommendations from family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers. You can also look online or search through the phone book if you just want to gather names.


Step 2: Research Companies and Individuals

With several names in mind, look up websites online that offer reviews and customer testimonials. You can also check with your local Better Business Bureau and Chamber of Commerce. Pay attention to why customers were satisfied or not satisfied with the electrician and take note of the specific job details. Sometimes, professionals respond to negative reviews, and this response can provide insights into the quality of customer service.


Step 3: Narrow Down Your List

After gathering the names of local professionals, cut down the list of possibilities. You may have already crossed some names off your list based on customer reviews. Your next step is to look at websites and physical facilities. Look for cleanliness and organization. A well-maintained website with valuable information may indicate a professional who focuses on quality in workmanship.


Step 4: Verify Candidate Qualifications

Finding an electrician you can trust is vital. A good first impression is great, but proper credentials are essential. Ask for the contractor’s license number, proof of workers’ compensation insurance, and proof of license to work in the state.


Step 5: Call Previous Customers

Satisfied customers are often happy to offer positive reviews when they like their electrician. These homeowners are often happy to answer questions about the results of the work, the customer service, the pricing, and other details important to you. Check out at least three of these references.


Sometimes, it’s tempting to just hire the cheapest professional. However, if you want to lengthen the lifespan of your home and electrical system, it’s better to research your options.
