Residential Electrician Services in Abilene, TX

When you have anything in your home that has to do with electricity that needs repair, new installation or replacement, it is far better to call in an electrician than to attempt to repair it yourself. DIY mistakes can be costly and in some cases dangerous. 

With DIY projects, not only is there a risk of electrocution, but there is also a risk that an improper repair may create fire hazard.

Situations That Require an Electrician MaybInclude:

• Fuses keep blowing or circuit breakers keep tripping
• GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets are not installed in a kitchen, bathroom, garage or the outdoors
• Extension cords are required because there are too few outlets in a room or they are spaced too far apart on the walls
• There is rust on or near your main service panel indicating water damage
• Lights dim when appliances are turned on
• Electrical switches or outlets feel warm or tingly or do not function properly
• A need to add more outlets, switches or light fixtures in a room
• Appliances with 3-prong plugs can’t be used because outlets only accept 2-prong plugs

Choosing the right electrician to do work on your home can be daunting. Often homeowners will live with frustrating and sometimes dangerous problems because they are afraid of choosing a bad electrical contractor.

When selecting an electrician, it is important to consider their qualifications, experience, and reputation. Look for an electrician who is licensed and insured to work in your area, as this ensures they have met the necessary requirements and have the proper training. Experience is also key, so opt for an electrician who has a proven track record of successfully completing similar projects. Checking online reviews and asking for recommendations from friends or family can help you gauge the reputation of the electrician you are considering.

1. Are You Licensed?

Always make sure the person you hire is a state-licensed electrician. This should be a Class A electrical contractor license. Other types of licenses (e.g., Class B) do not allow the person to work on high voltage circuits, typically the type of work required in a home (e.g., fixing an outlet, rewiring a light switch, etc.). The easiest way to check on this is to ask the electrician for their state electrical contractor license number before checking that the license is up-to-date according to the Utah Department of Labor and Industry web site. Also, take note that licensed electricians are required to carry a contractor’s bond and liability insurance, which protects you in the event of problems.

2. Do You Have References?

Most people who have a pleasant interaction with a contractor will happily testify on behalf of their experience. If the person you are hiring can’t provide a list of references upon request, that’s not a good sign. Always ask other customers if they were satisfied with the work, and make sure the contractor did come back promptly to address any problems.

3. How Long Have You Been in Business?

Ask how long a potential contractor has been in business. If they have been in business for several years, chances are they have been doing quality work for a long time (bad contractors usually go out of business quickly). 

Also, you want to hire someone that has completed projects similar to yours before. This will only give you confidence that they will be able to solve any problems correctly and in a quick manner.

4. Will You Provide an Estimate?

Evaluate the person during the estimating process by asking LOTS of questions. Before you sign up a contractor for any work, evaluate them on how they performed BEFORE the work is done.
