Selecting the right Electrician for your project.

When it comes to electrical projects, you want to feel confident that the company you have employed to do the job is competent and able. Over the past 20 years the Flodman Electrical Contractors have often been called by distressed homeowners to come and either take over or a repair a job that has been badly or in some cases even not completed. This month we give you a check list that you should probably run through, before you hire someone for that big electrical project.  We can say that as established electricians in Farnborough, the Flodman Electrical team are able to tick all the boxes for the checks below, but if you are further afield, we hope you find these useful

 Check Licensing and Insurance:
* Licensing: Ensure the electrical contractors you employ are properly licensed and certified by your local authorities. This guarantees they meet minimum safety and competence standards.
* Insurance: Verify they have both general liability and workers' compensation insurance. This protects you from potential accidents and liabilities on your property.
2. Seek Recommendations and Read Reviews:
* Word-of-mouth: Ask for referrals from friends, family, neighbours, or other trusted sources.
* Online reviews: Check platforms like Google My Business, YELL, for customer reviews and ratings. Look for consistent positive feedback and address any negative reviews.
3. Get Multiple Quotes:
* Compare prices: Obtain at least three written quotes from different licensed electricians for the same job.
* Compare services: Pay attention to the scope of work included in each quote, warranties offered, and the estimated timeframe for completion.
4. Inquire About Experience and Specialisations:
* Relevant experience: Ask about the electrical Contractors experience with the specific type of electrical work you need (e.g., rewiring, panel upgrades, lighting installation).
* Specialisations: Some electricians may specialize in certain areas, such as solar installations, home automation, or commercial projects. Choose an electrician with expertise in your specific needs.
5. Communication and Professionalism:
* Clear communication: Choose an electrician who communicates effectively, answers your questions clearly, and provides a detailed explanation of the work to be performed.
* Professionalism: Look for signs of professionalism, such as punctuality, cleanliness, and a courteous demeanor.
