That’s right. Just ask. Most electricians who are experienced and qualified have no quandary about telling you about their work. Whether they do or don’t, never hesitate to check out their qualifications. Not only is this your right, but it’s also your responsibility to yourself, your family, and your neighbors.

The trouble most often comes when electricians who are not licensed or experienced make their rounds of those homeowners who are trying to save money and time on a job. There is nothing wrong with this reasoning, of course, but pursuing this is dangerous since problems with improper and inadequate installation is a path that is most often regrettable. Instead, there is nothing improper or unethical about asking to see a license, and even checking it out with the proper authorities. Proceeding with doing business with someone who is unlicensed and uninsured will virtually guarantee problems. And when problems do occur, chances are very good that you will not only be unable to receive compensation for your losses, but you won’t find the contractor either.

Insurance and bonding are other matters that should be checked out before pursuing business with a prospective electrical contractor. It’s a path you won’t regret, and the chances are good that the results you obtain will be worth the extra effort. There will also be far fewer horror stories about the job that went bad when it comes time to tell them. Instead, your home or office will be a beacon of quality for everyone to enjoy.
