Best Electricians in Seattle and Elsewhere

Finding a good electrician is no easy task. There are so many things to consider and that’s why we have put together a quick list of points to consider. While this list is by no means comprehensive, it should get you thinking a little so you will have some point to start. Here goes:

1. Is this for a residence or a commercial building. While electricity is basically the same wherever you go, most electricians have a specialty. If they are accustomed to using lift equipment for changing outdoor lighting, they might not be the most affordable when it comes to re-wiring a new fan for your kitchen and vice-versa.
2. Is the job simple or is it complicated. The answer could play a role in determining if you can use a handyman or a licensed electrical contractor.
3. Is the contractor reputable? Besides the standard BBB report, what are their online reviews saying? Google Places is a great place to start since it combines reviews from many different sources.Be cautious though. Competitors, disgruntled employees and scorned ex-spouses are all free to leave reviews.
4. How far away are they located. While this can sometimes be deceiving, generally speaking, an electrician who has to drive less will perhaps go easier on the trip charge. So, hiring an electrician from Tacoma to fix a light switch problem in Seattle, probably doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.

As you can see, this is just a short list, but should help get you thinking a little before making the first call.
