If you’re about to embark on an electrician search to complete a repair or other electrical project for your home, choosing an experienced, professional electrician is crucial. Your decision ultimately could mean the difference between a job well done and your worst nightmare, particularly if you need complete electrical wiring for a new home or a major renovation.

At Gary Houston Electric Company (GHEC), we’re confident you’ll be satisfied with our track record, but we also recognize the importance of doing your homework. We’ve listed some of the steps to take before hiring your contractor:

1 Verify the contractor has a valid license appropriate for the job – you can’t always take a company’s word for it. You should also check to see if there have been any complaints filed or disciplinary action taken against the contractor.

2 Most people know to ask for references, but the key is actually checking them. Not only should you speak with past clients to obtain specific information about the contractor’s performance, try to look at finished and even ongoing projects if possible.

3 It’s commonly advised to get at least three written bids or estimates using the same specs so you can accurately compare costs and get a feel for the contractor’s approach to the job. Beware of substantially lower bids, because it likely means a mistake has been made or all of the work wasn’t included.
