5 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Local Electrical Company
1. Are you licensed & insured?
This is a must-check criterion.

Electrical failures are the major cause of home fires. So always hire a licensed and insured electrician.

Ensure that your local electricians hold a valid license, and insurance.

Typically, there are two basic levels of licensure.

A master electrician is equipped with at least two years of professional experience and is responsible for both, installation and repair of electrical systems.

On the other hand, a journeyman electrician is licensed for installation only.

Acquisition of all these implies that the electricians underwent rigorous hours of training to hone their skills and knowledge in their domain.

2. How many years of experience do you have?
Experience is equally essential as holding a license.

If a company has been running for long, it’s a sign they are doing their job brilliantly and the residents around trust them for what they do.

Also, when you ask for experience, make sure you do a little background check on their website.

A website provides in-depth information about the company’s rating and reviews, which is a great parameter in judging the work of a local contractor.

Most electrical companies will have a website. If they don’t, you can ask them about their recent projects to adjudge their experience and quality of work.

3. Who is going to do the work?
Never assume that the person you speak to will does the job.
