3 Tips To Choosing An Electrician


With so many electricians in Perth's Northern and Southern suburbs it can be hard to choose the best electrician for the job. Our team has put together 3 key attributes to look at when choosing an electrician near me. These 3 items will clearly show if they are a competent and able company.

1. Qualifications, Licences & Certificates

It is important to look and ask for an “EC000000” (Electrical Contractor’s Licence) number from an electrical company before they do any work as they must have an Electrical Contractor’s Licence and correct qualifications to undertake any residential or commercial electrical work in Perth. The Electrical Contractor’s Licence can only be issued by the Electrical Licensing Board under the Electricity Regulations 1991. 


It also helps to check if the electrician has an ABN (Australian Business Number). Performing an ABN check is a good way to confirm the company or electrician is legitimate. 


More information can be found HERE on electrical workers and contractors licensing.


2. Previous experience on past jobs / projects

Knowing your residential or commercial property is in the hands of an electrician with past experience allows for a greater piece of mind. You can find past work from electricians on their facebook & instagram posts, website and photos on google. Seeing past work from an electrician near you allows you to inspect their finished products, whether it was lights or a ceiling fan installation through to diagnosing electrical faults. 


3.Reviews

When searching for an electrician near me on google or other search engines, it is important to check for previous customer reviews. 5 star reviews are always good but it is important to read customer feedback. You can tell a lot about an electrical company, the services and customer service they provide from reading reviews. Other ways to read customers reviews are on facebook, instagram, yelp and other platforms that the company advertise on. Most importantly it is always good to ask your neighbours, friends and family if they have used the electrician near you.
