When picking a commercial electrician for your business, there is a lot at stake.
For most businesses, electrical repair or electrical maintenance is a vital essential that needs to be completed quickly and correctly. When it comes to installation, value, accuracy, and the ability to work around your schedule are all crucial.
The challenge comes in finding an electrician that’s skilled in commercial work that can also meet your other requirements.
To help you find an electrician that’s going to tick the boxes, we’ve put together a list of five tips to make choosing the best commercial electrician for your needs as smooth as possible.
Suitably Qualified And Experienced
If you’re going to employ an electrician for a repair or installation, it’s obviously important that they’re certified and licensed to complete commercial and/or industrial work.
A good electrician will have their license details, so checking their authenticity takes less than a minute online.
In terms of relevant experience, it’s worth asking how many jobs they’ve completed that are similar to the one you need doing. Even experienced electricians may not have specific knowledge of a niche industrial electrical installation.
The best commercial electrician for your job is going to be one with relevant skills and knowledge – ideally a master electrician – they may not be the cheapest, but they’re most likely to do a good job.
Can Meet Your Requirements
Perhaps you need an emergency repair or have an installation that needs to be completed according to a set schedule. Maybe you’ve got a large job that’s going to need a team of electricians to complete successfully.
In all these circumstances, you’ll need an electrician that not only can do the job but who can also meet your other requirements.
Most electricians will stipulate their availability for emergency repairs on their site. For the timing of scheduled works, or if you have any other specific requirements, it’s usually easiest to discuss your needs with the electrician when they come out to quote for the work.
A good commercial electrician will usually have a solution that will work for your project.
Look At Their Reviews
Reviews really do give a good insight into the caliber of the company you want to do business with. Ideally, look for reviews from previous customers that have had a similar job done to the one you’re planning.
Generally, the more good reviews a company has, the more likely you are to get the service you want – just make sure they’re relevant to your project.
It’s also worth considering the quality of the reviews – a good review will include details that enable you to easily identify the company that’s left it. Although it’s not guaranteed, many premises managers and similar professionals are happy to tell you their views of tradies they’ve used if you give them a call.
Local Reputation
In a place like Castle Hill, a well-established electrical business will probably have a good local reputation. It’s worth asking for recommendations in your specific area, as well as looking at online reviews.
Up-to-date, Safe, Energy-efficient And Fairly Priced Electrical Solutions
Modern electrical work is centered around the need for safety and the need for energy efficiency. When you discuss your project with a good commercial electrician, they should reference both the safety and the sustainability of the work you need.
When it comes to pricing, cheap isn’t necessarily best, but neither is a price that’s way over average. Particularly for larger jobs, it makes sense to get at least three quotes, as well as consider the added value that each contractor would bring to your project.
