What to Look For in a Commercial Electrician for Your Business
Ensuring your commercial building is in top shape is crucial to keeping your doors open. You should always have a professional electrician's phone number in case of a problem. However, there are a plethora of electricians to choose from. In fact, according to IBISWorld, as of 2023, there are 238,660 electrician companies nationwide. Look for these things in a commercial electrician to ensure they suit the job.
Experience
Most electricians work as apprentices before going out independently, so they have on-the-job experience alongside their education and training. However, if possible, you want a commercial electrician with years of experience. You should also ask them how much experience they have working on commercial buildings. Experienced electricians can accurately diagnose problems, make fewer mistakes, and do the job efficiently to keep your business running.
Warranties
A professional
commercial electrician who is confident in their work won’t mind offering a labor warranty to stand behind the job they completed. Ask a company if they provide a guarantee and how long the warranty is. Double-check whether they stand by their warranty by checking out online reviews on sites like Google and Facebook.
Services
Ideally, you should work with an electrician who offers various services, especially emergency services. You don’t want to close your business for days because your electrician is busy or only available during certain hours. Ask an electrician when they are available and what their average emergency response time is before saving their phone number.
Professionalism
An electrician should always behave professionally. They may be inside your store or business when customers are present, so they must have exceptional customer service skills. Avoid electricians who are rude, use foul language, or have a bad attitude. These professionals can turn people away from your business and won’t be pleasant to work with.
Reliability
It doesn’t matter if an electrician offers emergency services if they don’t show up. You need someone you can count on to be there in your time of need. Online reviews are the best way to determine if a company is reliable. Scour sites like Facebook, Google, and the contractor's website to determine if they’ve pulled a no-call or no-show on previous clients.
