Choose the Right Electrician
Selecting a qualified electrical contractor for your home or business can be challenging. It’s a little like taking your car into a car dealer or going to the doctor. You know something is wrong, but you lack the expertise to diagnose the problem yourself – and you are at the mercy of the supposed expert. You also might have difficulty describing your problem completely, or be confused by the jargon used by the professionals.
Most electrical contractors are specialists to one degree or another, so it helps to identify your particular need before you start calling. Is your need for new construction or major renovation? Are you looking for service or repair of existing electrical items? Is the work needed for your home, a small business, or a major facility? Does this need represent an emergency, or are you concerned about a dangerous condition that exists? Does your work include specialized systems, such as fire alarm, security, sound, video, communications, wired or wireless networks? Answering a few of these questions, at least in your own mind, will help you first to select a qualified contractor, and then to describe your electrical needs to the person that you call.
Once you have defined your specific need, your goals are to find a contractor that is
* Technically proficient,
* Reputable and financially stable, and
* Has a thorough understanding of your business.
Technical Proficiency
On the technical side, the two most important considerations for any electrical installation are electrical safety and electrical system reliability. So it is critical that the electricians that directly perform the work and the contractors that employ them follow recognized standards of safety and quality.
It is important to know that your electrical contractor and the contractor’s employees are licensed in the jurisdiction where your project is located. This means that the contractor fully understands and complies with the proper codes and that the work will be inspected under the standard, resulting in a safe installation.
Reputation, Reliability and Stability
You’re looking for a contractor that is sound financially and has a good reputation. NECA electrical contractors are local businesses, and have made both a financial investment and personal commitment to your community. Make sure you talk to customers in your industry that have done business with the contractor. Ask for and check references.
Questions to ask
Finally, inquire about the contractor’s warranty and insurance, and get it in writing. Does the contractor guarantee that the work will be installed to meet code? Will the contractor correct work that does not meet applicable standards? Insist on a written estimate and a copy of the contractor’s insurance certificate.
