What are some tips for selecting the right commercial electrician to work on/at your workplace, business, warehouse or store?
First and foremost, you want to choose an electrician who is fully trained and knowledgeable about commercial electrical work. You want an expert, not a newbie or novice. Don’t be afraid to ask to see their license and make sure it’s current. Moreover, ask around– see what others have said about their work before you hire them. Also, make sure the electrician you choose to work with is bonded and insured.
Next, commercial electrical work requires practical and flexible workers who adapt well to different situations and people. For instance, an electrician in a commercial setting may have to interact with construction workers as well as office employees. How are their communication skills? Do they clam up and not say a word, speaking only when spoken to? Or do they seem to be able to talk with lots of different people about different topics in a friendly manner? Be a judge of character upon first interacting with them on the phone or in person: do they seem “on the ball?” Sometimes the answer to that exact question can tell you right then and there whether or not you want to hire them.
If you have the time and inclination, do an Internet search on nearby electricians to see their online reviews. Of course, you can check with the Better Business Bureau and ask for references, too, but these days it seems like most people form their opinions based on online reviews. That said, if an electrician/company gets “1 star” more often than “4 stars” (or more) then they’re best avoided.
