Finding a reputable sparky you can trust can be a tedious experience, particularly if you’re not really sure what to look for.
If you’re ready to engage a professional electrician for residential home repairs or commercial renovations, you want to ensure you hire one that ticks all the boxes - particularly when it comes to expertise, qualifications and service.
By following some of the guidelines below, we can guarantee you will be one step ahead in finding the right electrician for your needs.
Licenced & Qualified
One of the biggest priorities when hiring an electrician is to ask for relevant certifications and qualifications in their field. Working with electricity is dangerous work, so it’s within your best interest to ensure they are fully qualified before embarking on any type of electrical work in and around your home or workplace.
For your own peace of mind and safety, it pays to ask these questions upfront. Whether it’s over the phone or in person, you can request to have a look at the necessary documentation as valid proof of their industry qualifications.
If this can’t be supplied, then perhaps finding another electrician is your best bet. At Pride Electrical, we are an FPAS Accredited Practitioner and only hire fully qualified, experienced and insured professionals.
Accurate Pricing Quotes
We’ve all experienced an electrician that over quotes or simply doesn’t provide accurate timeline estimates for completing a job. There are a variety of reasons why this may happen, with the most obvious coming down to either a lack of experience or poor time management.
To understand the level of time needed to complete both small and larger sized projects, it’s a good idea to set the right expectations from the very beginning. Whether it’s a small repair or comprehensive electrical fitout, an experienced electrician is able to determine the right price and timeframe for completion, including the exact equipment required for the job.
At Pride Electrical, we always aim to provide accurate pricing for all our clients with no hidden costs or surprises. Our honesty, reliability and professionalism are the hallmarks of our business and we pride ourselves on being the ‘go to’ sparky across Northern Sydney.
Electrical Experience
No two electricians are the same, particularly when it comes to expertise and knowledge. Whether its residential, commercial or industrial – each industry sector comes with a unique skillset.
If you’re looking for an electrician with commercial expertise, it’s probably best to find a suitable electrician that specialises in this area. If you’re after a residential electrician to assist with light fittings, installation of electrical appliances or renovation fitouts, your main goal should be to hire an expert that is completely focused in this field.
To gain a better understanding of who you’re hiring, it’s a good idea to look at their company website, customer reviews or social media before making a decision.
Quality Customer Service
Electricians do more than just perform safe electrical work; a big part of their job is to also provide excellent service and a positive experience for customers. There’s nothing more frustrating when an electrician doesn’t respond to calls, ignores messages or simply doesn’t deliver a high standard of service that meets your expectations. If you’re not happy, we recommend finding another one that takes pride in keeping their clients happy.
One of the best ways to gauge whether or not a sparky is the right one for you; check out their online reviews and do some further research into their previous work history. At Pride Electrical, we are dedicated to providing good quality service and ensuring we exceed customer expectations on every project big or small.
These are just a few ideas to look at when hiring a reputable electrician in your local area.
