Argon Electrical & Solar Services Inc. | Dec 12, 2018 Whether you plan to shift to solar power or get some electrical work done around your office or home, the services of skilled electrical and solar contractors are a must. Most professionals not only meet the required safety standards while installing solar panels or wiring, but they also ensure quality work with little to no damage to your home or office.
However, when it comes to choosing these contractors, you need to verify if they meet the standards you expect. Hiring an amateur may result in poor quality work that costs a fortune. To help you choose the right specialist for your needs, here’s a list of the top five things to look for in electrical and solar contractors. 1. License. When hiring an electrician, you need to make sure they are licensed before they take up any of your residential or commercial work. Solar installers currently do not need a license so you’ll mainly want to look at their experience. 2. Qualifications and experience. Not all electricians are the same, many will have additional qualifications or experience in different areas of electrical work, and some may even have accreditation. Choosing a master electrician ensures at least three years of experience. Moreover, the professional you hire must also offer a twelve-month warranty on workmanship. 3. Recommendations. Talk to your neighbors or other local residents for feedback on potential contractors in your area. Someone who has been working in your locality for a few years can be an ideal choice to hire. You can also check their website for feedback and reviews from past clients. 4. Best value for your money. Make sure you are satisfied with the pricing you are offered and avoid any “pressure” sales. If possible, get a minimum of three different quotes in writing before choosing a contractor. Besides their affordable pricing, they should ensure efficient electrical and solar system installations. 5. Attitude and communication. You need to be comfortable with your installers and have open lines of communication with them. The contractor must be able to simplify technical jargon for you. If you aren’t getting the information you need, then it is best to look for other professionals in the same field.
