An Electrician is a specialised tradesman in the electrical industry. They provide hands-on expertise and solutions on commercial, domestic, and industrial electrical services to the local and wider community. Electricians use a wide variety of tools and solutions to repair, install or maintain electrical wiring or appliances. They acquire their electrical qualifications by undertaking a 4-year electrical apprenticeship where they gain theoretical knowledge through trade institutions and hands-on experience with qualified electricians on site.

WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN LOOKING FOR AN ELECTRICIAN:

With the trade industry growing, the electrical industry can be a competitive market, making it difficult to know what to look for in your local Electrician. The following is a list of things you should consider when researching for an electrician in the Geelong and Surf Coast area:

• Do they suit your particular job?

Not all electricians specialise in the same electrical area and some complete additional training in areas of interest once they finish their initial A-grade certificate. Finding an electrician that will service your needs and wants whilst also being up to date with the latest certificates for your specific job is crucial. Research each company/business and locate what they specialise in first.

• Check licensing/insurance

When researching or connecting with any electrical business or company, you want to ensure they provide you with relevant documents as proof of their qualifications and licensing. When checking these, you want to check dates to ensure qualifications are up to date and that they’re certificate has been produced by a reputable organization. Insurance is another area you want to ensure the business you are about to intrust with your job is covered for any accidents or mistakes in their insurance policy.

• Business reviews & longevity

The phrase “straight from the horse’s mouth” comes to mind here. When doing your research, it’s important to ask your local friends, family and neighbours what businesses they have used in the past and what they’re opinions are. This is a really simple way of filtering out your needs and what businesses suit your job. Another great way to ensure electrical businesses/companies provide great quality is to research the longevity of their services. How long have they been in the area or in the industry? If they have moved areas, why? And is there any bad reputations or reviews in other locations?

• Prompt and informative

Last area to consider is how prompt and helpful the team or business is during the quote process. You want a business to provide detailed and personalised advice regarding your needs for the job. The best electrical businesses/companies will provide a thorough analysis of the job before providing informative feedback and a free quote for their services to repair or install what your needs are.
