The right electrician near me

When you are looking for an electrician to work in your Ebbsfleet area home, you want to make sure they are the right one – but what does that mean exactly? For most homeowners, they want to find an electrician who is:

• Reliable
• Trustworthy
• Carries out a safe and effective job.

To ensure your electrician ticks all those boxes, there are a few key things to look out for when you look through the results to your electrician near me search. By asking these questions, you’ll soon narrow the field and find the right electrician for you.

Are they recommended? 

Tip 1 - Take a look at their reviews.

It’s fair to say that most of us prefer to hire an electrician that comes recommended, either by a friend, neighbour or family member. A word-of-mouth recommendation for a reliable electrician can give great peace of mind, particularly if you’re planning a large project. But what do you do when no recommendations are forthcoming? That’s where online reviews come in.

It has never been easier to see just what previous customers think of a tradesperson. All you need to do is Google a company and take a peek at their reviews. By reading through a few reviews, you’ll soon get an idea of how that particular electrician works. 

Are they registered?

Tip 2 – Ask your electrician if they are registered.

All reputable, trustworthy electricians will be registered with one of the electrical industries certification bodies - NICEIC or NAPIT. 

To become a registered electrician with either body, an electrician must undergo a rigorous assessment process. During the assessment process, their work will be evaluated for technical competence, quality of work, and knowledge and compliance with regulations.

By choosing a registered electrician, you can rest assured that their work will be of the highest quality and will be carried out with safety in mind. The added benefit of choosing a registered electrician is that they will also be fully insured and their work will carry certain guarantees.  

SJ Supplies are proud to be NAPIT registered electricians in Ebbsfleet.

Have they carried out similar projects before?

Tip 3 – Ask about their experience.

It’s always a good idea to find out a bit more about your electrician’s experience. Most electricians will have preferred job types and some will be specialists in their chosen service. 

This is particularly relevant when you are considering a large project such as a rewire. A rewire at your home is a big undertaking, and arguably one of the most disruptive jobs that can be carried out. To ensure the success – and timely completion of the job, you’ll want to choose an electrician who is experienced in rewires rather than one who mostly carries out small works such as installing new light fittings.
