Our team at Clarksburg Contractors wants to help you take the best possible care of your home or business, and we provide the top-notch electrical services you need to do just that. In the 60s and 70s, our technicians provided power to barns and helped with electrical farming equipment, but since then our range of services has grown to include all manner of residential and commercial electrical needs. With this in mind, it’s safe to say that we know a thing or two about what makes a great electrician, and in this article, we’ll go over three qualities that you should look for when hiring one in order to make sure that you are in good hands.

What to Look for in an Electrician

  • Experience. One of the most important qualities to look for when choosing an electrician is experience. After all, the longer someone has had to practice a skill, the better their results will be, and you deserve the best possible results. In addition, you should ask about each technician’s areas of specialization and what kinds of projects they’ve worked on in the past in order to make sure that their experience makes them a good fit for your needs.
  • Attitude. Another key factor to consider when choosing an electrician is their attitude and the way they conduct themselves. Particularly, it’s important to look at their communication skills and how they treat their customers–do they show up on time? Do they respond to your calls promptly? The answers to these and similar questions will have a big impact on your experience working with them, so make sure to consider them carefully.
  • References. Lastly, you should always ask for a list of client references before you commit to hiring any electrician. A reputable company like ours will be prepared for this question and have a list of clients ready to go, and the team will have enough confidence in their work to hand it over without hesitation. Once you have a list of references, reach out to at least a few of them to ask about their experience with the company and factor their accounts into your decision.
