5 Things to Consider When Hiring an Electrical Contractor
November 8, 2021
It's a daunting task to find the right electrical contractor. There are many companies, and it can be hard to know which one is best for your needs. Luckily, we have compiled five things you should look out for when searching for an electrician in order to increase your chances of finding a company that can deliver top-quality services on your next project.
- The contractor must be in compliance with all state and local laws.
- Each member of the electrical contracting team, including subcontractors, should have training or experience that is relevant to their responsibilities on a particular project. Some examples include construction safety, scaffolding operations and temporary traffic control. They also need to possess certification in these areas.
- Electrical contractors must be sure they are properly insured, including general liability and workers’ compensation. The contractor should disclose what insurance coverage is available to the GC or end-user in writing before work begins on a project. Insurance requirements vary by state and locality, but for example, require that electrical equipment penetrating fire-resistant assemblies have automatic sprinkler protection.
- In addition to business insurance, the contractor also should have a bond that provides for payment of labor and materials if they default on their contract with the GC or end-user.
- The GC or end-user should have a written contract with the electrical contractor that is based on an industry-standard agreement. This document defines project responsibilities, sets forth performance expectations and provides for dispute resolution via mediation or arbitration if there are disagreements during construction.
The right electrical contractor may be the difference between a poorly executed project and an excellent one. Take some time to find out which company is best for your needs, so you can rest assured that your work will be done well!
