What to Look for in Commercial Wiring Professionals

 

An experienced commercial wiring professional is an asset for building or remodeling your business space. You may be able to find an experienced electrical contractor by word of mouth, but you will need to do some extra inquiries to make sure the professional has specific expertise for commercial projects.

 

First, you will want to make sure the professional you are considering is fully licensed and bonded. Your electrician needs to have liability insurance and even workman’s compensation insurance for any employees. Next, is the electrician able to provide relevant input to the planning and design process of your project? Familiarity with the needs of a business during a building or remodeling project is a plus. Some contractors have a portfolio outlining their work, but others will talk about their experience and offer references.

 

Make sure to be specific as possible about the job that is to be done, and see if the contractor has experience in it. It is important to your bottom line to know how much your commercial wiring will cost. Make a written request of the work to be done and make sure you receive a detailed written quote that specifies pricing of each task to be done.

 

A responsible contractor will pull all the permits needed to legally complete your job. If any subcontractors are involved, you will want your primary contractor to let you know who they are. Ask if your electrician covers all installations and repairs with a warranty.

 

Residential wiring is very different than commercial, so you want to make sure that the maintenance electricians are versed in commercial installations and are up to date on the latest code changes. You do not want to have a power outage or electrical fire at your business, so it is extremely important to find the right commercial wiring professionals to do the job right, and to continue to maintain your system well.
