Clearly Marked Vehicles

Professional Employees

Workers should treat you and your home with respect. They should not smoke inside of your home unless you first suggest to them that they can. They should not swear or use coarse language. They should talk to you politely and answer any questions you have. They should show up on time and call you if they are running behind schedule so you do not have to wait forever for them.

Offers Emergency Services

It is especially important for business owners to hire an electrical contractor that offers 24 hour 7 day a week emergency services. No electricity means no income and unhappy customers. You need to get your electricity up and running before you can get back to work.

Offers Services You Need

Never assume that all electrical contractors are experienced or comfortable doing any type of electrical wiring job under the sun. Some are more comfortable with putting in new lines while others are more comfortable adding new electrical equipment or lighting. Some may be more used to working with new buildings while others experienced with older, refurbished buildings. Always ask if the contractor has worked on similar jobs.

Guarantees Their Work

The best electrical contractors will stand behind their work by offering guarantees or warranties. Ask if any warranties cost extra. Also check to see how long a work guarantee lasts. The terms of a guarantee differs from company to company.

Experience

Although a brand-new electrical contractor may be just as proficient as a well-established contractor, the latter has proved that he or she not only knows the job but the area. A new company is an unknown quantity.
