Picking the Best Electrician: Things to Think About
Ratings and reviews are certainly helpful for homeowners and property managers seeking an electrician, but they don’t tell you the whole story. You’ll also want to consider a few other factors before making your choice.
Ultimately, you’ll want to select an electrical contractor who checks off all of the following boxes:
- C-10 Licensed Electrician: A valid C-10 electrical license confirms that the electrician has met state requirements for training, testing, and experience. It also means their work is legally permitted, inspected, and held to professional standards.
- Fully Insured: Proper insurance protects both you and the electrician in case of accidents or unexpected damage. This typically includes liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage, giving you peace of mind during the project.
- Relevant Experience: Look for an electrician with experience specific to your project — whether that’s residential repairs, panel upgrades, EV chargers, lighting, or commercial systems. The right experience helps ensure safer, more efficient work and fewer surprises.
- Transparent Pricing: Reputable electricians provide clear, upfront pricing before work begins. You should understand what’s included in the estimate, what could affect the final cost, and whether pricing is flat-rate or time-based.
- Clear Communication: A good electrician should always explain the scope of work, the timeline, and any potential issues in plain language. They’re responsive, answer questions directly, and keep you informed if plans or conditions change.
- Satisfaction Guarantee: Quality contractors stand behind their work. A satisfaction guarantee or workmanship warranty shows confidence in the service provided and gives you recourse if something isn’t completed correctly.
- Familiarity with Local Codes: Electrical codes change regularly, which means that you want a truly professional electrician who stays up to date with local and national electrical codes. This will help ensure all work passes inspection and meets current safety standards.
