You have to be very careful when hiring and electrician to
ensure that you don’t make the same mistakes that other
people make when looking for an electrician. This is because
if you just hire any electrician, you will be the one to pay
for the consequences of a bad electrical connection.
Electricity is very dangerous; matters related to
electricity should only be handled by people who know about
electricity. To be sure that you following the right path
when hiring an electrician, you have to be aware of the
mistake that people make so that you can avoid them. Here
are 6 mistakes to avoid when hiring an electrician;
1. Hiring an electrician before checking whether he is
licensed
Very many people make the mistake of hiring an electrician
before checking whether the electrician is registered and
licensed by the relevant governing bodies. This way, they
end up with electricians that are not really qualified to
carry out electrical installation or repair jobs. An
unqualified electrician is a recipe for disaster. If you
don’t want to hire an electrician who will cause more harm
than help, make sure that you seek the services of an
electrician who is qualified and licensed to work in
Singapore. Don’t take the electrician's word. Request for
the registration certificate and confirm from the relevant
body.
2. Hiring an electrician that does not have experience
Experience is very important when it comes to electrical
installations and repairs. Before you hire a given
electricians, you have to check how many years the
electrician has been providing services. You have greater
chances of finding a good electrician when you choose from
electricians who have been providing electrical services for
a longtime. An experienced electrician probably knows how to
deal with the problems you are currently having in the best
way possible way because he has probably dealt with the same
problems in the past. Working with an experienced
electrician is a way of ensuring that you have the best job
done.
3. Hiring an electrician without checking the reviews
Don’t go on to hire an electrician without checking reviews
from other customers who has sought his services before. By
checking the reviews from real customer, you will be able to
tell whether the electrician provides quality services or
not. Read online reviews as well as ask the electricians for
the contact details of the people he has served before. If
you find many favorable reviews, then it is highly likely
that the electrician provides quality services. Many
negative reviews should make you change your mind about
hiring the electrician.
4. Hiring the first electrician that comes your way
Do not settle for the first electrician that comes your way.
There is because chances are that the first electrician that
comes your way may not be the best one for you. You have to
check the background of an electrician and obtain as much
information as you can if want to know whether he is
qualified for the job. In fact, it is advisable to have two,
three or more electricians so that you can decide who to
choose.
5. Not interviewing the electrician you intend to hire
Before you hire a given electrician, spend some time
interviewing him. This will allow you to get answers to all
the questions you have in mind plus any other information
that you may want to know. When you conduct an interview,
you will be more informed about the electrician so that you
can decide whether you should seek his services or not. You
can conduct a one on one interview or carry out a phone
interview. This is one of the mistakes that almost all
people seeking electricians make. Don’t make this mistake.
6. Ask the electrician whether the necessary tool and
equipment are available
Before you seal a deal with a given electrician, it is
important to ask him whether he has all the necessary tools
and equipment required to carry out the task you want him to
accomplish. Some jobs need much more than just a screw
driver and insulation tape. The right tools and equipment
have to be used so that the job is done the right way. An
electrician without tools and equipment will obviously not
be able to carry out a good job.
