  • You need to talk to the insurer about the complexity and also with local building department about a competent local electrician authorized to do the job. To get a local electrician, contact the local builders association and tell them what kind of job the technician will handle.

Factors to consider


The primary consideration is competence so don’t bargain the price. Verify the charges per hour at your locality and estimate the time. It is better to get the time estimate from the electrician first during the interview and then compute the cost. Ask for warranty from the electrician in writing.

There is a difference in rate between a master and a journeyman so calculate the cost, consider the warranty factor and issue the order. Consider experience and certificate of workmanship, not cost. A skilled electrician will take care of everything and you do not have to worry about anything
