Finding a reputable electrician can seem like a daunting prospect.
There are so many electricians advertising their services to you, how can you tell which ones are trustworthy and which are the cowboys. Here at Allman Electrical Bromsgrove, to help make your decision easier, we have put together our top tips for finding a reputable electrician.
Qualified Electrician
Our first tip for what you should look for when choosing a reputable electrician is to ensure they are qualified and have relevant experience. Working with electricity is a dangerous task and one that should only be attempted by a trained and experienced person. Poorly installed electrics can leave you at risk of electrical shock or fire and, as most of your wiring is concealed, it can be impossible to tell until something goes wrong. Qualified electricians are highly trained individuals who will work in compliance with regulations and can be trusted to keep you and your home safe. A reputable electrician will be happy to share their qualifications with you. Here at Allman Electrical we are fully qualified with many years of experience and undertake regular training to keep our skillset fresh.
Registered Electrician
Our next tip for finding a reputable electrician is to look for one who is registered. A qualified electrician can be registered with one of two governing bodies: NAPIT or NICEIC. A registered electrician is regularly assessed by their chosen governing body. They will have demonstrated a high level of technical competence and a thorough understanding of current regulations. A registered electrician will also be part of the Competent Person Scheme and will be able to self-certify their work. This is essential when undertaking any electrical work that requires you to notify your local building control office.
A further benefit to choosing a reputable, registered electrician is that their work will come with additional assurances. They will have a minimum of £2,000,000 public liability insurance and will provide a 6-year warranty. Allman Electrical Bromsgrove are proudly registered with NAPIT.
Recommended Electrician
Now that you have narrowed the field to qualified, registered electricians what should you look for next? This is one of our most important tips for finding a reputable electrician and it is to ask for recommendations. A reputable electrician will have worked hard to build a good reputation within their local community and that should be reflected in their reviews. If you can, ask for personal recommendations from local friends and neighbours. They will be happy to tell you about their good – and bad – experiences with the local electricians. You can also ask any local tradespeople that you trust who they would recommend. Reliable tradespeople will only work with others who have similar values so you can sure of a solid recommendation. Last, but by no means least, look at online reviews. Google, Checkatrade and Trustpilot can all be great sources of information. You can see what our customers think of our service here.
