Here at Maguire Electric, we want to help you do what’s best for your home or business. If you are experiencing problems with any of your wiring or electrical systems, our team is here to provide the effective repair services you need. When you are dealing with these kinds of problems, it’s always best to hire a professional electrician, rather than attempt a DIY solution, because working with electrical wiring is dangerous if you don’t have the necessary training. Of course, choosing the right electrician can be a challenge, so to help make it easier, our team has put together this list of key things to look for:

What to Look for in an Electrician

 

  • Experience – First, you should always ask about an electrician’s level of experience before you hire them. As we mentioned above, it takes time and training to learn how to work with electrical systems safely and repair them effectively, so the more time someone has had to practice their trade, the better their results will be.
  • Communication Skills – Another thing to look for when hiring an electrician is strong communication skills. A good electrician will take the time to inspect your system and discuss their findings with you so that you know what the problem is. In addition, your electrician should always be willing to answer your questions and explain why they recommend a particular solution.
  • Specialization – Lastly, not every electrician will have the particular skills to tackle your specific project. A residential electrician, for example, might not have the right experience to rewire your commercial business facility. Because of this, it’s a good idea to look for an electrician with experience working on similar projects. Our team is comfortable working on a wide variety of projects, but we particularly specialize in pool and outdoor lighting, as well as generator installation, so give us a call if you need help with any of those areas.
