Are you new to the Indianapolis area and need an electrician? Do you want to make sure you hire someone trustworthy and professional? Check out these tips on how to hire an electrician from RU Electrical Service, Inc.
1. GATHER REFERENCES.
Ask your friends, family members, and co-workers for an electrician they might recommend. Make a list of the electric companies that they suggest, and take note of what type of home wiring or installation work they have done.
2. DO YOUR RESEARCH.
After you’ve compiled a list of possible electricians, browse the electrical companies’ websites to get a feel for their business, customer reviews, and level of professionalism. If you can, browse past work. From here, try to narrow down your list of possibilities.
3. CHECK CREDENTIALS.
Be careful not to hire someone’s uncle just because he “installed a light that one time.” Check the electrician’s experience and past work, to make sure he or she can get the job done.
4. CONDUCT INTERVIEWS.
Set up an interview with at least three different electricians, either in person or over the phone. Ask questions specific to your electrical needs, and be sure to ask about past work and references. Pay close attention to their professionalism and customer service.
5. DON’T MAKE A HASTY DECISION.
Take your time in hiring an electrician, because you want to feel comfortable with who is working on your home.
