Four Factors to Consider When Choosing the Right Local Electrician

If you are in need of a local electrician, we strongly recommend that you carefully consider your options. Many people have never needed to contact a local electrician and therefore do not know what to look for. Consider these four factors that can help you find the best electrician for your needs. Then contact Sonner Electric at 661-728-0126 to make an appointment.

1. The Length of Their Experience

You will find that the best electrician in your town likely has the most experience – or close to it. You do not want to immediately turn away the new kids on the block, but remember that those who are new should be working with established electric companies to learn everything there is to know about this business. At Sonner Electric we have that long, strong, successful background you are searching for. We have seen just about every type of electrical issue you can think of and ready to help you with yours.

2. Consider Ratings, References, and Testimonials

It is worth checking out ratings to get an idea of the options in your area, but do not take them for gospel. Remember that anyone could be writing either good or bad reviews for any company, including competitors, family members, and others who are not providing accurate information. Instead, ask for references and check customer testimonials to get a better idea of what to really expect from a company.

3. Make Sure They Can Handle the Project You Have

Not all residential electric companies handle all projects. For example, if you need an alarm system installed, you do not want to talk to a company that works primarily on updating circuit breakers. In fact, we suggest you choose a company that can handle many different services you may need in the future. The goal is to build up a list of local companies you can continue to work with as similar issues arise.

4. You Need a Company That is Honest During the Bidding Process

When it comes to a successful bidding period, you want only companies that are entirely transparent. You want quotes and estimates that reflect actual costs – not guesses. For example, if you call an electrician for help rewiring your basement, they should research your type of home, they should look at your basement, and their quote should be based on your actual home – not just a generic guess based on the average cost of rewiring any basement.
