make a decision on which electricians they wish
to request a free estimate from, without the fear
of having to field dozens of sales calls from contractors
they didn’t select.
“We set this site up because we wanted to allow
homeowners to decide which electricians should
contact them. We feel that this type of service request
can be treated more as a consultation if we
hand the decision to the homeowner. Many other
contractor referral sites sell a person’s contact info
to several contractors and this leads to them being
pushed by too many salespeople. Our website
opens the opportunity for the more professional,
consultative approach from the contractor to the
homeowner,” says All Around the Home’s Co-Owner,
Ryan Corey.
Using a site like this can allow you to choose one
or more local electricians that appear to be a
good fit for you and your job. Once you have the
chance to speak to the contractor you can ask
more qualifying questions. What might you want
to ask when chatting with an electrical contractor?
* Number of years of experience
* Types of specialty
* Type of charge: by the job or by the hour
* “Ballpark estimate” for your job
Depending on your job, the best rate may not be
the best fit. This often correlates with experience,
and that is a matter of your personal preference.
Finally, once the job is set up, prepare for the electrician’s
visit. Be sure to clear all work areas of any
fragile items, home decorations and furnishings. It
is also necessary to make sure that the panel box
is clear and ready to be accessed. This will save the
electrician time, which means you save money.
Once the visit is complete you can rest assured
that your home’s electrical safety has been optimized
and you will be operating at an efficient
level.
