What should you consider before hiring an electrician?
3 Qualities to Look for in an Electrician
When looking at your options for an electrician, be sure to look for the following qualities:
1. Experienced Red Seal Electricians
Experience is crucial for any electrical project regardless of the size or complexity. While many providers have teams of journeyman electricians, few can claim to have a team that consists solely of red seal electricians. Red seal electricians have completed a 4-year apprenticeship program, over 6,000 hours of on-the-job training, and passed their Red Seal Inter-Provincial (IP) exam. This ensures that they have the knowledge and experience required to complete any job to national standards regardless of the province or territory they are working in. When you choose a provider that only hires experienced Red Seal electricians, you are ensuring consistently high quality and peace of mind for your project.

2. Positive Reviews and References
Customer reviews, testimonials, and references are a clear indicator of an electrician’s commitment to quality, safety, and customer satisfaction. If an electrician has a collection of mostly positive reviews and can provide references upon request, they are likely worth hiring to complete your project. Alternatively, if an electrician has a collection of negative reviews or refuses to provide references for previous projects, they are likely not worth pursuing.

3. A Variety of Services
While specialists can be useful, they may not be able to handle every element of your electrical project with the same level of proficiency. Electrical repairs, maintenance, and installation projects can be deceptively complex as they may require additional work to be performed on other areas of your property. That is why it is worth looking for an electrician that offers a variety of services and a proven track record for complex projects. This will ensure that your project is completed properly whether it involves light fixtures, outlets, electric heating systems, exhaust fans, or a combination of various elements.
