Here are a few tips to help you find a good electrician in Weston-Super-Mare:
Get recommendations from friends and family
Many people say it, but honestly, recommendations from family and friends is one of the most valuable methods of finding a reputable electrician in Weston-Super-Mare. If you know someone who has recently had electrical work done, ask them who they used and if they were happy with the service. Personal recommendations are always a great place to start. Finding out who to avoid is also useful!
Check online reviews
In addition to personal recommendations, checking online reviews is a good way to get an idea of what previous customers have thought of an electrician's work. Be sure to read both positive and negative reviews to get a well-rounded idea of what to expect. Remember, the majority of people will only post a review if they're very happy, or dissatisfied. At Perform Electrical Services Ltd. we are very proud to be able to say we have many 5* reviews on Google and Facebook. We pride ourselves on being your local electrician in Weston-Super-Mare.
Make sure they're registered
When you've narrowed down your list of potential electricians, be sure to check that they're qualified and registered with a relevant governing body. In the UK, these are 'The National Association of Professional Inspectors and Testers' or NAPIT, and 'The National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting' or NICEIC. At Perform Electrical Ltd., we are registered with NAPIT.
Technically an electrician doesn't have to be registered with either of these governing bodies, however by finding someone who is, you can be sure that they have the correct qualifications, and insurance, and are also up to date with CPD. Both bodies regularly check their members to ensure that a high standard of electrical work is completed.
Get multiple quotes
Once you've checked that your chosen electricians are qualified and have good reviews, be sure to get multiple quotes before making your final decision. This will help ensure you're getting the best value for your money. You should also ensure that your quotes are written down. This could be typed up, or handwritten as long as you get a copy of it to keep. This will help in the future if there are any discrepancies as to what work was quoted, how much etc. If you want a quote from us, please give us a ring on 01934 707 142.
Ask about their guarantee or warranty
Finally, be sure to ask about any guarantee or warranty that may be included in the work. This will protect you in case anything goes wrong after the work has been completed. As members of NAPIT, Perform Electrical Services Ltd offer a 6-year insurance-backed warranty on all of our work, so you can be sure you're in safe hands!
Choosing an electrician is an important decision, so be sure to do your research before making your final choice. We hope these tips help you in finding a reputable electrician in Weston-Super-Mare.
