Residential Electrical
What you need to know about residential electrical work
Determining the right electrical contractor can depend on various factors such as the specific project requirements, location, budget, and personal preferences. Here are some guidelines that YC Home Remodeling uses with their own electricians or outsourcing reputable, reliable, and vetted electrical contractors:
Research and referrals
Start by asking friends, family, neighbors, or colleagues for recommendations. Word-of-mouth referrals can be valuable in finding trustworthy contractors. Over 50% of YC Home's business comes from happy customer referrals. Additionally, do what you are doing now, conduct online research to find reviews and ratings for local electrical contractors.
License and insurance
We recommend only using licensed and insured electrical contractors. A valid license demonstrates that the contractor has met the necessary requirements and has the expertise to perform your electrical work. Rest assured, YC Home carries insurance coverage protecting both the contractor and you in case of accidents or damages during the project.
Experience and expertise
We only use electrical contractors with extensive experience in the specific type of electrical work required. Some contractors specialize in residential projects, while others focus on commercial or industrial work. Each is very different. YC Home is residential focused with decades of relevant experience to ensure we are well-equipped to handle your home remodel project.
Portfolio and references
We recommend requesting a portfolio of previous work to assess their capabilities and quality of workmanship. YC Home offers references so you can contact previous clients to inquire about their experience with us, including reliability, timeliness, and customer service.
Communication and professionalism
Our communication skills, responsiveness, and professionalism are key to our high-customer service marks. A reliable contractor should be prompt in their communication, address your concerns, and provide clear explanations regarding the project timeline and any potential challenges. This is the YC Home way!
Compliance with regulations
We stay up-to-date with current electric codes and follow all regulations specific to your area. Our compliance ensures safety, proper function, and adherence to legal requirements.
Warranty and post-project support
We stand behind our work and offer a warranty to cover any defects of materials (see special details on specific products and applications on your project proposal) or issues with workmanship that may arise after the project is completed. We promise to have availability for reasonable future maintenance or repairs.
Remember to thoroughly vet any electrical contractor near you and make an informed decision based on your specific needs.
