Neighborhood Electrician’s
Selecting an electrician or service professional can be a difficult task. But it shouldn’t be hard to narrow down whom to choose. One of the most current and relevant criteria to look for is good reviews. This can be tricky because online platforms can use content writers to produce false reviews to boost rankings for a service professional to making them appear priority or more often within search engines. This just means when you look for an electrician using Google or other search engine they may appear on the first page to “earn business”. For this reason referrals from family, friends, neighbors or other word of mouth a most excellent source. Additionally check organization sources like the Better Business Bureau or your Township. With the BBB, even if a company is not paying a member you can view registered complaints or outstanding problems that may reoccur with companies. The BBB has a database that gives a grade rating like a old school report card to help you judge. Visit their site at www.BBB.org. When inquiring look for a state registration number for the contractor. Many states have a home improvement contractors program, there a contractor is required to upload his credentials and insurance information to legally perform any work in the state. Finally I recommend to have a face-to-face. An in-home estimate or even a FaceTime call with personnel or business owners shouldn’t be too hard to come by these days. It can let you know how personal a company is and put a face behind the name that you’re going to support. Finally I like to recommend choosing someone that’s relatively close to where your home or business is located. A neighborhood professional. This way in a emergency situation or smaller job, you might have better luck securing a visit; possibly at start/end of day or between jobs that are already scheduled. This also may induce more reasonable pricing or “deals” with less travel time and flexibility for the contractor. These are just a few of the things that both we and our customers seem to find valuable over our 20 years experience.
