FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Although Licensed Electricians are required by their State of Licensure to have the minimum amount of Continuing Education, it is always my priority to keep "sharp" and up-to-date with all of the latest Code updates (NEC). I often attend classes taught by my electrical mentor, Steve Sivell, who helps prepare un-licensed Electricians for the State Exam. Although I have already passed that Exam, the scope of our trade is tremendous and the changes to the NEC are constant and rapid. No Electrician, especially a company owner, should be complacent or stagnant when it comes to knowledge and electrical safety. A lifelong Electrician will NEVER learn everything about this trade, period.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
1. Politely insist to be shown current proof of State Licensing and Contractual Liablity Insurance. 2. If you have time, ask for references as well. 3. Remember to never base your decision on price alone, Electrical Price Quoting can be an advanced undertaking for many projects and some often underbid, simply to get the job and then add-on what they "forgot" later. 4. Again, on pricing, some Electricians who have a day job and perform work after-hours, may "borrow" their employer's materials therefore giving them an unfair and unethical advantage. Be wary, protect your interests first and hire an Electrician who will be accountable for all work they perform. 5. I love customers who get multiple quotes. Don't be shy! If I am higher than my competitor, yet you feel more comfortable hiring me, please communicate any issues with pricing you may have. Let's begin a working relationship based on confidence! 6. Always keep in mind that Electricity is powerful stuff, in order to use it safely in our homes and our workplaces, it MUST be respected. Choose your Electrician wisely.
