When it comes to electrical work, it's important to choose a reputable and qualified electrician. Hidden fees, shoddy workmanship, and no-shows are all too common in the industry. But with a little research, you can find an electrician you can trust. Here are some handy tips for finding a reputable electrician in Bromsgrove.
Get Recommendations from Family and Friends
One of the best ways to find a reputable electrician is to ask your family and friends for recommendations. If they have used an electrician in the past and had a good experience, they'll be more than happy to pass on their contact details. And if they didn't have a good experience, they'll be able to warn you away from that particular electrician. Either way, it's always helpful to get personal recommendations when looking for service providers.
Do Your Research Online
In this day and age, there's no excuse for not doing your research before hiring someone. A quick Google search will reveal reviews and ratings from past customers, which can give you a good idea of what to expect from an electrician. Make sure to read both the positive and negative reviews so that you can get a well-rounded idea of their work. It will also help you get more of an idea of what the type of company is. Is it a one-man-band or a large company? Do they mainly do domestic or commercial work, or is it a mixture? Allman Electrical is a one-man band, striving to do the best for every customer, turning up to appointments, giving you a written quote, giving you honest advice, and always treating your home with respect.
Registered Competent Person
On the competent persons registered found here https://www.electricalcompetentperson.co.uk/ you can see if the company is registered. There are two main electrical bodies you should look for; NICEIC, and NAPIT, which are both of equal importance. An electrician only needs to be registered with one of the electrical bodies. On this site however you cannot see any reviews, so if you find someone on here, ensure to do further research on a company before ringing them up.
Check Their Credentials
It's always important to check an electrician's credentials before hiring them. Make sure they are fully qualified and insured, as this will protect you from any liability if something goes wrong during the job. You can usually find this information on their website or by asking them directly. As a minimum, they need £2,000,000 in public liability, though having professional indemnity insurance is also highly recommended.
Looking at insurance documents can get confusing for some people, which is why both the NICEIC and NAPIT check insurance documents, so in theory, you don't have to.
Ask for Quotes from Several Electricians
When you've narrowed down your list of potential electricians, make sure to get written quotes from each of them before making your final decision. We hope that Allman Electrical will make your shortlist, though whoever you choose I wish you the very best for your project. Getting quotes from each company will allow you to compare pricing and services so that you can choose the best option for your needs and budget. Be sure to ask about any hidden fees or charges so that you know exactly what you're getting into before hiring anyone.
Remember, some electricians may try to lowball their quotes to get the job, but end up doing a subpar job. So, always go with your gut and choose the electrician you feel most comfortable with, even if their quote is slightly higher than the others.
Take your pick
Hiring a reputable electrician doesn't have to be difficult - just follow these simple tips and you'll be sure to find someone you can trust! With a little research and some due diligence, you'll be able to find the perfect electrician for your needs in no time.
