"I need a professional electrician to help me with an electrical problem and I'm not sure where to find one?" When you need an expert electrician, make sure they're qualified. Here's how. Are the qualifications for your local electrician unclear? You can always look up their certifications and licenses online by searching their name or the company they work for. If it looks like they might be out of date, it's never too late to ask them about their credentials — just call them up and see what happens! Even if you're not sure, we know that one good phone call is worth more than all the hours of googling you do before that either way. Let's say they're not a certified electrician. They may still be able to help, just not as quickly as one who is certified. If you need someone to help with electrical work quickly, it's a safe bet to ask them if they have a "trade" license instead of a "professional" one. Although this will result in an additional charge for their services, it will most likely save you the expense of getting the work done twice. If you have any sort of electrical problem at your home or place of business, whether it's minor or major, don't hesitate to call a licensed and qualified electrician regardless of what area they live or work in. Remember to get it in writing. Much like a plumber who gives you a price and then has an excuse about the price going up once they get there, there isn't always transparency with electricians. When you find the one you want to work with, get it in writing what they charge and what they expect from you for payment and how they'll be paid before the job is complete. And remember: if their fees don't include labor, parts, materials or travel time — then that's on you. If your electrician doesn't listen to your question or is rude or abrupt when answering your call, hang up and call someone else. This is very simple. Just tell them you want to pay them by check and give them the amount — and they'll be happy to take it. No need for a credit card or other payment method. 2. Finding an electrician: Googling and calling... and waiting for days! "I can't find a good electrical contractor that I can pay once and not wait for weeks!" If you were looking for someone to paint your house or install central air conditioning, then the answer would be different than how we're talking about an electrical light bulb here. But since we're talking about electrical work, wait time is very important. While many people choose to pay in cash, some prefer to go through an escrow company. If this is what you do, make sure there are no extra fees for it. After finding the right electrician in your area, they may even serve as a warranty company at no additional cost to you if you're not yet convinced you're getting the best price and service from them! It's important that their "warranty" be free and clear of additional charges or clauses that get added along the way. 4. Know what your inspector wants. 8eeb4e9f32 25
