Things you should know before hiring
a contractor:
Check the electrical contractor's license
electrical contractors who are unlicensed pose
a risk to your financial security. electrical contractors expose
you to significant financial harm in the event of injury or
property damage. Unlicensed electrical contractors usually do not
have bonding or workers compensation insurance.
A electrical contractor who is unlicensed may not
have the expertise and qualifications to do the job right the
first time. You could end up having to hire a licensed, reputable
electrical contractor to correct the work-and paying for the job
twice.
Check to see the electrical contractor's pocket
license and some additional form of identification. The name
on the pocket license should be the same as the name of the
contractor or business name the electrical contractor is working
under.
Check the electrical contractor's references
Check the electrical contractor's references, and call them to see if they
were satisfied with the contractors work. Skilled contractors will be proud
to take credit for their work. Remember, the person you hire to work in your
home will be in and around your home until the job is completed.
You may also wish to check the electrician
out with your local consumer protection agency, consumer fraud
unit in your city or district attorney's office, and the Better
Business Bureau. We will be glad to provide you with websites
and phone numbers of these agencies just call one of our customer
care reps or check out our links section below.
Ask the electrician for the address of his
or her business location and business telephone number, and
verify them. A contractor who operates a business out of the
back of a pickup truck with a cellular telephone may be difficult
to find to complete a job or fix something that has gone wrong
after the last bill is paid.
Make sure the electrical contractor has workers' compensation
and liability insurance coverage
Verify that the electrican is insured against
claims covering workers compensation, property damage, and personal
liability in case of accidents. Ask to see a copy of the certificate
of insurance, or ask for the name of the insurance carrier and
agency to verify that the electrical contractor has the insurance.
Electrical contractors must tell you whether
or not they carry general liability insurance and that it will
protect against third-party bodily injury and property damage.
If uninsured, they should be able to explain how they would
cover losses that would ordinarily be covered by insurance.
Bonds
Some bonds are designed to protect you against substandard
work that does not comply with local building codes. Bonds do
not assure the financial or professional integrity or competency
of a electrical contractor.
Institutional lenders such as savings and loans, insurance
companies or commercial banks generally require contractors
to secure bonds for large jobs.
