4 Things to Look for When Choosing an Electrician
There are a lot of things to consider when choosing an electrician for your needs. To ensure that you get the best job, make sure you check the following;
- Positive reviews from past clients – The power of opinion speaks volumes when it comes to reviews and nothing is better than happy clients. Read all of the Armitage Electrical online reviews here.
- Licensed – Look for a local, licenced and insured company. Check to see whether they are a Master Electrician or ECA Member. You can find out whether an electrician is licensed through the Queensland Worksafe website here. If your electrical contractor does not appear to be in the database, call Worksafe on 1300 362 320.
- Up front pricing – Ask for an all-inclusive price including labour, materials and GST. If they can’t quote for a job upfront, so you know what you’re in for, it might be best to choose someone else.
- Attitude and communication – You want an electrician with a happy, positive attitude, is easy to talk to and keeps you up-to-date with the progress of the work.
What to Watch Out For
You want to give someone the benefit of the doubt but it’s easy to get walked over. Always be on the lookout for:
- Hidden costs in pricing.
- Sub-contractors doing work instead of full-time employees.
- Unlicensed and uninsured work performed.
If you have any doubts over the legitimacy of your electrician, check the Worksafe database or you can ask them to leave and you look for another electrician.
