Choosing the right electrician isn’t just a matter of convenience. It’s a crucial decision that impacts the safety and efficiency of your home or place of business.
With over 25 years’ experience, we understand the necessity for quality electrical work. But we also understand that choosing an electrician can be an overwhelming exercise. This is particularly so when you’ve got so many to choose from.
Which is why we wanted to talk you through the key factors to choosing the perfect electrician for you.
Qualifications and licencing
It’s crucial to check that your electrician has the necessary qualifications and licences. This ensures they’ve completed the appropriate training. And it also means they’ve met the standards set for electrical work.
We ensure our electricians are fully trained and kept up-to-date with industry standards. We also provide ongoing training.
Understanding the importance of experience
This is just as important as using an electrician who’s qualified. Keep an eye out for an electrician with:
- a proven track record of success, and
- experience doing the electrical work you need done at your home or place of business
Customer reviews and referrals
Hearing or reading reviews from past customers offers invaluable insights into an electrician’s:
- reliability, and
- quality of work.
Get a comprehensive quote
We believe that transparency in pricing is essential. So, when you get a quote, make sure you know exactly what it covers. Having clarity avoids any surprises. And you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for.
We provide detailed quotes, breaking down costs and explaining the necessity of each aspect of the job.
Insurance and warranty
Ensuring your electrician is fully insured is non-negotiable. While you never want to have to make a claim (and neither do we), it’s better to be safe than sorry. This is to protect yourself from unnecessary stress if something goes wrong.
Also ask if the electrician provides any warranties on the work they do and the materials they use.
Professionalism and communication
Tradies can sometimes get a bad rep. See what their communication skills and customer service are like before booking your project with them. You can test this when you ask an electrician for a quote.
How responsive are they to your telephone call or email enquiry? And are they able to clearly answer all your questions?
We believe in making electrical solutions easy to understand. We’re all about being clear and jargon-free, so you can be fully informed about the electrical work you need done.
And we also believe in tidying up after ourselves.
Availability
Electrical emergencies don’t wait for business hours. A reliable electrician should provide a reasonable timeframe to complete your electrical project.
Staying ahead with technology
In a rapidly evolving field like electrical work, staying technologically adept is crucial. We’re well-versed in the latest smart home technologies and energy-efficient solutions. And we provide continuing education for all our electricians.
