Think all electricians are the same? Think again! Here, we look at the importance of choosing the right electrician for your needs

Has something gone awry with your home’s electrics? Are you considering a new energy-efficient installation? Or has the time come for you to carry out some tests to ensure that your wiring, installations or appliances are working as they should be?

It goes without saying that you need a reliable, qualified electrician for work of this kind. As your advisors in all energy matters, we want you to choose an electrician that you can trust. And while there are many qualified electricians out there, it’s a fallacy to assume that they’re all the same. Take a look at Volts Electrical Services in Coventry for an idea of what you should be looking for. You can check out their website here. When choosing an electrician, ask yourself the following questions to see how they measure up.

Do they have the necessary experience and qualifications to get the job done?

Of course, a newly-qualified electrician can still do a great job. But we understand that there’s comfort in choosing an electrician with years of experience under their belt. For instance, Volts Electrical Services UK have over 10 years’ experience in domestic and commercial electrical work.

They also have an impressive range of accreditations, including City & Guilds, Wiser, EAL and NAPIT.

Do they perform a range of services to facilitate a long-lasting relationship?

Sure, you could choose an electrician for ‘one and done’ jobs. But it’s far more beneficial to choose an electrician you can have a long-lasting relationship with. The kind that will be able to perform jobs of all shapes and sizes in your home. From repairs to new installations and upgrades.

Again. Volts Electrical Services have the skill and experience to carry out a wide range of domestic and commercial jobs. There’s no job too big or too small for the team. From lighting and CCTV installations to kitchen and shower installations to full or partial rewires. You name it, they have the experience and expertise to carry out the work to the standard your home deserves.

Will they provide you with a free zero-obligation quote?

Many of us are sensitive when it comes to choosing a contractor of any sort to work on our homes. We worry about hidden costs, unexplained fees and dubious extras added onto our bills. You need an electrician who will provide you with a free, zero-obligation quote. What you see is what you pay, with no hidden costs added on by stealth.

What do their customers say about them?

Finally, while we definitely recommend reading an electricians website and finding out about their accreditations, skills and services, what electricians say about themselves is less important than what their customers say about them. Look for a testimonials page like the one on Volts’ website where real customers have shared their experiences with your prospective electrician. It’s also worth seeking out Google and Trustpilot reviews.
