What Makes the Best Electrician? Find Out!

If you own a home in Maryland, Virginia, or Washington, DC, you likely need the services of an electrician periodically. Maybe you’ve bought a new appliance and need a new outlet. Maybe you’re adding a new room to your home or you’ve purchased an older home that needs the wiring to be updated. Whatever your electrical needs, it’s important to find an experienced electrician who can complete the job safely and effectively.

The Best Electricians:

  • Complete their work on time and within the agreed upon budget
  • Are courteous and respectful of you and your home
  • Avoid tracking dirt into your home and clean up after they are through working
  • Carry workman’s insurance, both to protect themselves and to protect you and your property
  • Offer free, fair estimates
  • Are available when you need them, not just during bankers’ hours
  • Are licensed and certified to complete work
  • Are well-versed on local building codes and know how and when to get a local building permit

Finding the best electrician possible is important to completing your job successfully, safely, and at a price you can afford. Start by eliminating anyone who is not licensed. To be licensed in Virginia, Maryland, and/or Washington, DC, an electrician needs to go through extensive training, work as an apprentice, and pass a licensing test. They also must keep current on the latest technology, code requirements, and procedures in order to keep their licenses.

However, not all licensed electricians are equal. You’ll want to ask for references from any electrician you’re considering hiring. Be wary of any companies that hesitate or refuse to offer references. You can likely eliminate those from the list of the best electricians immediately!
