Made Simple

Not sure what to ask your electrician? Here's a list of questions you should ask before hiring any electrician. This will ensure you have a trusted technician and give you peace of mind throughout the process.

• Are You a Certified Electrician?

  When it comes to finding an electrician, it's important to make sure the work is completed by a professionally trained & licensed electrician. A certified electrical contractor is also going to have knowledge about regulations, permits and codes needed for the job.

• How Experienced Are You?

  Whether you're hiring an apprentice, journeyman or master electrician, ensure your contractor (or their supervisor) has the necessary technical license, skills and knowledge of local codes before any work begins.

• Will You Give Me Pricing Up-Front?

  While a soft quote can usually be given over the phone, getting an accurate estimate will need to be done in person. After diagnosing the issue, your electrician should provide a firm price quote. Be sure to ask if the cost includes labor and material, so you can avoid any hidden fees.

• What Services Do You Specialize In?

  Many times, electricians have expertise in certain areas (such as residential, commercial or industrial). Hiring an electrician that specializes in the work you need will ensure a job well done and prevent future problems.

• Do You Offer a Warranty?

  Electrical repairs and installations should always come with a guarantee. A reputable electrician will agree to repair or replace any problems directly related to the service provided for a minimum of 30 days after the task is completed.

• Is Electrician Pros Free?

  That said, some companies charge a service call fee that ranges from $49 to $149. Generally, this fee does NOT include parts, supplies and labor. Typically, the reason for this fee is to help the contractor cover their travel expenses and company overhead.
