Tips for Hiring a Qualified Des Moines Electrician

It may not be something you think of when things are running smoothly, but the truth is, at some point in the life of your home, you’re going to need an electrician. The electricity that makes our lives comfortable and simply makes everything work is a major component in every home. Of course many homeowners are knowledgeable enough to do some of the small things themselves, such as rewiring a wall switch or replacing a ceiling fixture. But for others, anything involving electrical repairs, improvements or direct wiring of lighting fixtures or appliances is best left to a qualified Des Moines electrician.

Locating an electrician doesn’t need to be a difficult task. Finding one that you feel is right for your specific project may take a little more effort.

Where to Look for a Qualified Des Moines Electrician

Start by asking the people you know, such as friends or co-workers, to see if they are familiar with any electricians. If they’ve had any experience with a Des Moines electrician, they can tell you if they were happy with his work or not. If someone’s had a bad experience, they’ll probably be glad to tell you about it. The same holds true if someone has had a positive experience with a Des Moines electrician. People will quickly let you know if they received great service. You'll find that we have a good reputation and take pride in our work.

When you find a Des Moines electrician you’re interested in working with you’ll need to do a little background checking. Call the Better Business Bureau to see if the electrician has ever had any complaints filed by customers. If you do find any, ask for details and whether or not the complaint was settled to the satisfaction of the customer. It’s not uncommon for even a well established Des Moines electrician to get an occasional complaint but how they resolve any complaints is what’s important. An electrician with a number of unresolved complaints is most likely someone you’d do best to avoid.

Asking the Des Moines Electrician to Submit a Bid

After you have selected a few electricians that you feel suit your requirements, it’s time to set up an interview to discuss your project. Ask about experience; we'll be happy to explain to you how a Des Moines electrician can meet your needs. We offer a quality of service that you will not find elsewhere. After the project is complete, you'll be happy we sent an expert Des Moines electrician.

Ask each electrician to do an onsite inspection with you and have them discuss in detail what they feel needs to be done and how they would accomplish this for you. Describe what you hope to achieve and express any concerns you might have. Taking a little time with each Des Moines electrician will help you get a sense of how well you will communicate and if there is potential for a good working relationship. If you feel uneasy about any electrician or have doubts, simply move on to the next one. Remember this is someone that you’ll essentially be relying on for the future of your home.

Find out the estimated time for project completion as well as the cost. Obviously a Des Moines electrician can’t give you a correct estimate until they work up an in depth quote. Give each electrician a list of what you want included in their bid. You’ll need to know what is involved in the project as well as the cost of any necessary materials and labor. You’ll want to know your payment options. Small jobs usually require payment at time of completion while larger projects are usually made in installments as the job progresses. You’ll also want an estimated time for completion.

Choosing Your Des Moines Electrician

Once you have a bid from each Des Moines electrician it’s time to make some comparisons. You might be attracted to a very low bid but this is one area where you really need to be an educated consumer. True, a low bid might actually be a good deal, but if a very low bid seems out of line with what others have submitted you want to use caution. Remember you don’t want to cut corners where your home’s electrical supply is concerned. If the bid is really appealing to you ask the electrician how he arrived at the figure and how he is able to under bid everyone else. The truth is, when determining which Des Moines electrician to hire, you not only need to choose the one that’s going to be the best for your budget but the one that is most suited for your particular project as well.

Remember when choosing a Des Moines electrician, you aren’t looking for the cheapest method of getting the job done. Whenever you’re working with electricity you should keep the safety of your home and family uppermost in your mind. You want a Des Moines electrician that will be thorough, reliable and will take the time to do the job right the first time around. Your home’s future relies on the quality of the Des Moines electrician you choose.
