6 Vital Questions You Need to Ask the Electrical Contractor before Hiring Them

Do you require help with faulty wiring? You may require fixing a power point or require a detailed examination of your property to ensure your electrical system is in proper working order?
Prior to hiring an electrical contractor, you need to ensure that you’re hiring the right company or professional who can fix your electrical issues in the right manner.
At Eris Electrical Pty Ltd, we want to provide the best electrical service to you; that’s why, we have gathered six vital questions that you need to ask the electrical contractor or professional prior to hiring them for your task.

  1. Do you work on an hourly rate?

The efficiency and expertise vary from one electrician to another so if they charge by the hour, it greatly matters. Henceforth, when you’re charged hourly, you’re paying a different price depending on the electrician/company that you contract. In no way, you’ll be able to know how slow or how fast your electrician works till you have been finally charged by the hours they utilised in completing the task. When the company or electrician doesn’t charge hourly but per the task, then everyone pays the same price for the task irrespective of the time taken to complete the task.

  1. Have you got a valid license?

Home, as well as business owners, often forget to ask specialists if they hold a valid license. In the state of New South Wales, it is a must that the electrician should hold a valid license to perform electrical work. Suppose, your electrician is working for a company, then ask for the company’s background and license. Additionally, enquire about their experience. Trustworthy companies such as Eris Electrical Pty Ltd not only see to it that each and every electrician working with them hold a valid license to perform work but also they are efficient enough to manage diverse kinds of electrical jobs in various kinds of electrical circumstances.

  1. Do you perform “live work”?

While the circuit is live, it is not at all advisable to perform work, so electrician must refrain from carrying out “live work”. This is for your and contractor’s safety. We at Eris Electrical Pty Ltd adhere to the policy of “No Live Work”, and so we cut off all power to the area where we are attempting electrical work.

  1. What services do you offer?

Certain electrical jobs require specialist electricians so ensure to ask this question. For companies such as Eris Electrical Pty Ltd, have completely trained and experienced personnel who are always ready to assist you with any kind of electrical service that you may need including the services of a licensed Level 2 electrical contractor.

  1. Have you got liability insurance?

Indeed, this is a very important question to ask your electrician or contracting company when hiring an electrician to work on your property. Obviously, established and reputed service providers will give top priority to ensure the safety of your office/home. Nonetheless, at times accidents do occur, so it’s always recommended to ensure that your electrician is duly insured and you’re protected too.

  1. When can you give an appointment?

A trustworthy electrician is someone who can at once help you or give a specific date when you need. If you get reply such as we can come sometime in the next week, this should be taken as a warning signal. Certainly, you will not want someone who can’t provide you with a specific schedule for fixing your electrical issues. This statement is especially correct if there is a mishap.

For instance, an electrical emergency can come up anytime in your home or office, so you’ll require the services of an emergency electrician in Sydney or wherever you’re located, as certainly you don’t have control over the intricate electrical cabling and components that can end up in trouble anytime. At such critical juncture, you definitely do not want to hear from the electrician or the contracting company that “he or they will be there sometime during this week”. All you want to know is when they can come and precisely how quickly they can solve the issues to make everything functioning as normal.
