Electrical

Definitely not something to try yourself.

When posting your project be very clear about what you want done.

Pop outside and take pictures of the main service panel. If there’s a sub panel take a picture of that too and if either are any distance from the house measure in  steps

If it's a blown outlet you need to repair take a picture of that too, especially if it’s all burnt out and black. If it’s not black but you smell burning mention that in the description and obviously don’t try to use it – you’ll be surprised how many people do!

If you need to have light switches or outlets installed, moved or replaced, anything that requires repair jobs to drywall or ceilings, ascertain if your electrician can do this or if he has someone to come in after and fix things up again – and ask him to include this on his bid.

Remember too that some or all of your home will be without power while your electrician works so try to make alternative plans for vital appliances such as the freezer or any medical devices.

Hiring anyone to carry work in your home can be daunting. Letting strangers into your home is even more scary. While many homeowners may go into detail about pricing and materials and quality of work – they rarely ask their contractor for their license details and never ask about their possible criminal background or if their staff are felons.

For your peace of mind, all electrical contractors featured on 23HourBids.com, and their staff, have been background checked for your safety and security. Don't let anyone into your home without the 23HourBids.com seal of safety and security.
