What services can you hire an electrician to perform?
Electricians carry out many services. Some focus on new home builds, while others lean toward residential maintenance and repairs. Here are a few services electricians provide:
- New electrical systems: Electricians can install a new electrical system that is up to code and meets your home's needs. Hiring a professional to install a new electrical system is the safest option. If you try to do it yourself, you risk electrocution and damage to your home’s electrical systems.
- Electrical repairs: Electricians can identify and repair electrical issues, such as faulty sockets or wiring, regularly tripped circuit breakers, flickering lights and appliance shocks.
- Whole-house services: An electrician may need to rewire your whole home to update the wiring and improve safety, functionality and energy efficiency.
- Surge protection: Power surges can harm your wiring and fry electronics and appliances. While individual surge protectors may help, an electrician can install surge protection that covers your whole home.
- Emergency services: Emergency electricians provide 24/7 services in case of an electrical emergency. Signs of an electrical emergency include burnt outlets, hot service panels, noisy breaker boxes, power outages, and sparking or smoking outlets. Having an emergency electrician's number handy can give you peace of mind.
In the event of an emergency, carefully cut off your breaker if it's possible and safe. Do not try to extinguish an electrical fire with water, or you could be electrocuted. Use a fire extinguisher or smother the flames with baking soda, a fire blanket or a heavy item of clothing instead. Evacuate the premises and call 911 if the flames begin to grow uncontrollably.
Electrician licensing in Los Angeles
Many states have specific licensing requirements for electricians. Verify that your electrician carries a valid license, along with the appropriate bonds and insurance. Los Angeles electricians must hold an Electrical Contractor license from the California Contractors State License Board. They may also be subject to local licensing regulations, so check with your municipality.
How do you choose the best electrician in Los Angeles?
Finding the best electrician for your project and budget can be challenging. Make your electrician search less overwhelming by using these easy tips to hire the right provider.
Make sure the company or individual is licensed and insured
Before hiring an electrician, make sure they have an active license granted by the appropriate state or local licensing board. Maintaining a valid license demands continued training, so licensed electricians should be familiar with current local building codes and safety procedures. Find an electrical technician or business that is not only bonded but also has adequate insurance, including workers compensation insurance.
Get a free estimate
An electrician may need to give you a whole-home inspection, for which they usually charge by the hour, before they can give you a free quote. Check how long the inspection will take to get a sense of how much it will cost. After the inspection, the electrician should hand over their recommendations and provide an estimate for the job. If you're not completely happy with an electrician's recommended approach or prices, gather quotes from more candidates to compare your options.
Ask about timelines
Get information about the timeline for and start date of the job from your electrician. Due to high demand, it's typical for high-quality electricians to be booked for extended periods of time. If you plan to complete your project quickly or need emergency electrician services, you may have to choose another provider if your first choice isn't open. Having an open schedule will be an advantage when searching for electricians.
Inquire about safety measures
An electrician's work is inherently dangerous, so ask your technician about their safety measures. As mandated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, electricians must wear protective equipment and clothing, such as insulated gloves, foot and eye protection, and a protective helmet. If you observe that your electrical technician isn't following proper safety procedures, reach out to a new provider.
Ask for references and read homeowner reviews
Checking online reviews is a great way to check customer satisfaction when seeking an electrician. Getting recommendations from friends, family and neighbors you trust can also be helpful. If you notice recurring complaints, particularly about issues with safety or low quality workmanship, take them seriously.
