Why Hire a Licensed Electrician?

Licensed electricians are knowledgeable of the many codes and regulation updates that apply to all the wiring in your house. Licensed electricians are required to take continuing education courses to ensure that they are trained in best practices for safety and efficiency on electrical repairs. They are bonded and insured to guarantee that any electrical fault resulting in an insurance claim will be covered by an insurer.

Make sure that you call for the best if your project calls for specific expertise, such as installing voice/data cabling, home automation systems or solar equipment. But even if another department handles the specialty stuff, it's helpful if your licensed electrician has experience working with electrical repair systems and protocols. Depending on the nature of your project, it might be helpful to visit a licensed electrician's current electrical repairs, for a behind-the-scenes look at his work. In general, you're looking for evidence of orderly, methodical installation: neat cable runs near the breaker box, clear labeling of circuit breakers, regular anchoring of cables, switch boxes that sit squarely and finish flush to the drywall surface, etc.

Knowing exactly what your prospective licensed electrician is best at can help you avoid pitfalls and problems that occur with specific electrical repairs. For instance, if an electrician is used to electrical repairs, maintenance and emergency electrical work, they may not be as adapt to new installation or renovations as an electrical contractor who specializes in that sort of work would. Finding the right licensed electrician for your particular job is a must have when it comes to getting the job done right.

Before hiring a licensed electrician to perform any work, always ask if service fees, travel costs and trip charges are relevant to them visiting your job. This way you'll avoid any hidden charges or fees before you choose a licensed electrician. Some licensed electricians charge a fee to perform an estimate. Whether they get any work done or not, the fee to show up at your house is non-negotiable.

Once the work is done, if any malfunctions occur in the future, what responsibilities and costs will you be associated with? A strong contract will let you know exactly what and how long your electrical repairs will be covered under their warranty.
