Are you looking for residential or commercial electrical services? Are you remodeling a home or have new construction installation requirements? Knowing the answers to these questions will help you during your electrical service company search. Discussing what your electrical design needs are will help with your search.

When calling an electrical contractor or company, be sure to ask many questions beforehand so you are as educated as possible in your expectations and the timing of your service. Verify costs and any required permits should be discussed at this time as well. Receiving a copy of a contract with clear work expectations can be helpful as well.

Depending on where you are located, what type of electrical service you need, and if you have any specialty requests can all effect which electrician is the best fit for you. Discuss these items and what availability of materials and the contractor will determine the timing of your service. Knowing this before you commit to an electrician can help with expectations.

Ask about what certifications, licenses, and if any bonding applies. Ask for references and recent experience they have in your area so they can help you with navigating local building codes. Always ask for a complete quote on work to be done and its helpful to get multiple electrical quotes to understand pricing and rates in your area for electrical work.
