Ask for Personal Recommendations
A great way to find a good electrician in your area is to ask for recommendations from friends and family. A reliable local electrician will work hard to create and maintain an excellent reputation and will want to leave their customers completely satisfied. If they have worked recently for someone you trust and they were happy with the electrician’s work then you will likely have the same experience.
You can also ask a tradesperson you know or have worked with previously for their recommendations. A good tradesperson will only work with other tradespeople that are qualified, competent and reliable. They will want to work with an electrician who is dependable and has similar values to themselves.
Are they Members of any Government Approved Schemes?
Good electricians will also often have elected to become TrustMark registered. This Government endorsed scheme assesses businesses on their technical competence, customer service and trading practices. An electrician who has chosen to join the scheme has demonstrated excellence in several areas and is committed to providing great service to their customers.
Choose a Qualified Electrician
Electricity is useful and it’s easy to forget just how dangerous it can be. In the wrong hands it can be deadly and leave the occupants of a home at risk of electrical fires and shocks. It is vital that the person you hire to look after your electrics understands this and is qualified to deal with it safely and competently. You should ask your prospective electrician about their qualifications and experience.
The quickest way to check your electrician’s qualifications is by checking that they are registered and accredited with either NICEIC or NAPIT. These are the electrical industry’s Government authorised accreditation services. Membership of either body means the electrician has been independently assessed on various competencies and is fully compliant with UK regulations. This also gives you extra legal protection should any problems arise.
The way to find the best electrician in your local area is:
- Ask for recommendations from people you trust
- Check an electrician’s qualifications through the body they are registered with
- Look for members of Government backed regulatory schemes
