Electricians repair, install, and maintain electrical power systems in homes, businesses, yards, construction sites, and anywhere in need of electricity!

When choosing an electrician there are several factors that are "must haves" that you should consider in addition to price, dependability, and availability.

The following characteristics are things you definitely want in a professional electrician.

1. Licensed. Make sure your electrician is a licensed professional dedicated to following local regulations and safety requirements. A licensed electrician will have a reference # (this should be included on their website or on any advertisements you find) which you can use to check your local state governments' directory to see if he is up to date with his license or has any complaints against him.

2. Bonded. This is like an insurance policy for the customers. Electricians pay extra to be bonded to give customers peace of mind that they can be relied upon and provide quality service and gives consumers an outlet for claims against their electric business.

3. Insured. Unfortunate events and accidents ...
... do occur so make sure your contracted, licensed electrician has insurance so that you as a home or business owner will not be held liable if something unspeakable occurs.

4. BBB. Make sure you check the electricians status with the Better Business Bureau. This is a good organization to check into any contractor or business you potentially would hire and see if he is praised or condemned by his previous clients.

Always make sure your electrician is familiar with local laws and city codes so that the work he performs will pass future inspections! And make sure you can openly communicate any concerns you may have or any alerts you think he needs to be aware of before he begins working!
