Selecting the right electrician for the job

Sometimes electricians don't handle all jobs or don't need the work and it is often a real time waster tracking down the right one who is available. Some are only involved in construction or commercial work others are only into doing minor jobs and emergency repairs.

That's where the Quotify form cuts through the hassle. By sending the same completed form, we will immediately find three electricians suitable for your job and ready to quote, along with their individual ratings and comments from past customers. Typically you can expect someone to call you back minutes after submitting your job description to give you an idea of the costs. Don’t be afraid to ask lots of questions about how the job will be done, how long it will take and when they can do it. A professional and experienced electrician should be able to provide a fairly accurate timeline and cost estimate (it’s a good idea to ask for it in writing). Then it's simply up to you to decide whether to give them the work. It's easy and obligation free. Click here to get professional electrician quotes Now

Then, for your own peace of mind, when arranging for the electrician to make their first visit to the job, ask them to bring their state license as well as proof of insurance (for a residential electrician this should be around $500,000 in liability insurance and workers' compensation).Make a note of it and, if you want, call your local Fair Trading department or visit the web site to check that it is still current.

Finally, almost all electrical projects need a compliance permit issued by the state building department (often called a Certificate of Compliance Electrical Work – CCEW). This should be given to you once your job has been completed.
