How to Choose an Electrician for Home Projects: 5 Considerations

Choosing a residential electrician for your next home project can depend on a few factors.

1. Hire an electrician who is licensed and insured: Only work with someone who is licensed and insured to do the work. This ensures your protection and that work is done to code.
2. Consider their experience level: Choose an electrician with a track record of tackling several kinds of home electrical jobs. Bonus points if their current staff is highly experienced.
3. Check reviews and customer sentiment: Is the electrician known for quality work? Do they go the extra mile to solve problems for clients without drama? Work with someone who others trust and would recommend.
4. Ask about their approach: Find out how the electrician will complete the job, including what materials will be used and what safety considerations apply to the project.
5. Find out what makes them different: Research what makes the chosen electrician different from the competition. Do they offer virtual troubleshooting to save money? Are they available 24/7 for emergency repairs? Are discounts available for seniors or military personnel?

Electrical Maintenance and Upkeep Tasks for Homeowners

Before hiring an electrician, consider reviewing these electrical maintenance and upkeep items:

• Check your outlets and switches: Inspect all the outlets and switches in your home. Are all switches working properly? Do any outlets have loose contacts or do not work?
• Inspect your electrical panel: Your electrical panel is the heart of your home’s electrical system. Inspect your electrical panel at least once a year for signs of damaged wire, corrosion, or trouble circuit breakers.
• Check your extension cords: Inspect the electrical cords to your appliances or other powered items for visible damage like frayed wiring or melted insulation. Do not use extension cords that are damaged and do not place them under carpets or rugs.
• Test your smoke detectors: Don’t overlook the old smoke detectors in your home or business. Be sure to test their functionality regularly and replace the batteries on an annual basis. Detectors should be replaced after a decade. Consider installing or having a carbon monoxide detector installed for protection against the deadly odorless gas carbon monoxide.
• Use power strips: Surge protector strips can reduce the risk of electrical fires by preventing excess current from flowing through a single outlet. Consult your electrician about having a whole-home surge protection system installed in your home for added protection.
