When you are looking for a qualified electrical contractor there are a number of important considerations. At Gary Houston Electric Company, we believe five qualities are absolute must-haves in commercial electricians and residential electricians alike:

1 Fully Licensed or Certified – Always choose electricians that are licensed and certified by accredited institutions. Make sure the company they work for is trustworthy and provides their electricians with proper training and equipment.

2 Good Reputation – The best electrical contractors and electrical companies will come highly recommended by people you can trust and will come with references you can check. Don’t be afraid to ask for references. A highly qualified and certified electrician or electrical company will be happy to provide them.

3 Plenty of Experience – You want to be sure when someone is working on your home or office that they have the experience necessary to do the job safely, correctly, efficiently, and that when the job is completed everything will work as it should.

4 Honest and Communicates Concerns Properly – A good electrician will explain what needs to be done, what problem the solution addresses, and will be upfront with a fair price for the work that is required.

5 There For You When You Need Them – Electrical problems don’t keep a nine to five schedule. That’s why Gary Houston Electric Company offers 24/7 emergency service so you won’t be left stumbling around in the dark.

Keep this list handy so you can refer to it when you need the services of a professional electrical contractor at your home or office.
