How to choose a quality Electrician

At Reconnect Electrical we know it can be a daunting task when hiring a tradesperson to work on your property, home or workplace. When it comes to choosing an electrician, it is essential to choose one that is knowledgeable, professional and has the safety of you, your friends and family in mind.

It can be stressful not knowing the tradesperson that you are hiring, especially when they are coming into your home or workplace.

Here are our top tips when it comes to choosing a reliable Electrician without hesitation to provide Electrical and Air Conditioning services in your home, in your workplace and around your family.

  1. Ensure the tradesperson is licensed and fully insured. Electrical contractors are not able to apply for a contractors licence without first having a minimum of $5 million public liability insurance and $50,000 consumer protection. You can find out if someone is licensed or not by going to https://fswqap.worksafe.qld.gov.au/elis/ & searching their licence number.
  2. Work Health and Safety is a crucial part of an Electrician’s job. Electricity is dangerous and the number one priority for an Electrician should be to ensure that your home, workplace and family are safe from electrical hazards. We do this by assessing the risks prior to undertaking works and ensuring our work is completed inline with the AS3000 wiring rules.
  3. Organise to meet with the tradesman for a quote or discussion over the phone. How do you feel around the person? How do they present themselves?
  4. Read the Electrical Company’s reviews. Ask for your friend’s experience, or look up Google and Facebook reviews to discover what other people’s experiences with the electrician have been like.
  5. Don’t settle for a lower standard than the values you hold in your home. There is a stigma that tradesmen are a little rough around the edges and certain behaviour is part and parcel. However, this does not need to be the case. Choose an electrician that matches the quality you would like moving in and around your home, workplace and family. EG. Do you have young kids, is someone who often swears appropriate for your home?
  6. Enjoy, knowing that you have chosen a professional who will take care of you now and into the future.
