Things to look for when choosing an electrical contractor


 Without the right training, skills and experience, electricians can do more harm than good to your home. In fact, poorly executed electrical work can be very dangerous and pose a serious threat to the safety of you and your family. 

If you are looking for an electrical contractor to complete a lighting installation/repair, here are some of the things to look for: 

Licence and insurance 

The most important factor to consider when choosing an electrician is the existence of a licence. This ensures that the contractor has undergone the necessary courses and practical activities to do the job safely and correctly. You should always: 

Ask to see an electrician's licence

Ensure that the licence is up to date

Check that the licence covers the type of work you need.

It is also important to make sure that the electrician has all the necessary insurance and cover. Ask to see copies of current policies to verify that they have not expired. 

Value for money 

When you ask an electrician for a quote, make sure you tell them exactly what work you need and the equipment and materials you want to use. Also, make sure that the quote includes a breakdown of prices so that it is easier to understand and compare with other quotes.

Recommendations

A recommendation from someone you trust can be invaluable when choosing an electrician. Knowing that a family member or friend had a positive experience with an electrician and was satisfied with the level of service and work received is a good confirmation. 

If you cannot get a recommendation, ask the electrician if he or she has any references. If possible, be sure to call and speak to the referrer personally. 

Positive attitude and good communication

Nobody wants to deal with an electrician who behaves badly or does bad work. When choosing an electrician, take note of: 

  • Whether he shows up on time for the estimate
  • Their communication style
  • How willing they are to listen and respond to your concerns
  • Their appearance and the way they present themselves

Troubleshooting water heater problems: Noisy pipes

When you start hearing noises in the water pipes, these can be caused by air or lack of air, obstructions and blockages in the water line. Here are some steps you can take to identify the problem. Water hammer Water hammer is a dull sound that results from the sudden pressurisation of the water line caused by the rapid closing of a tap or other water valve. The water rises rapidly, causing a loud hammering sound in the pipes. This damages the pipes over time. Water hammer only occurs when water is not flowing. You can rule out water hammer if you hear the noise while the water is flowing. Shut off the water supply to your house and drain the water from the pipes by opening a low tap, such as an outside tap or a tub.
