Top tips on getting quotes for electrical work
Make sure that your quote contains a detailed description of the work that is going to be carried out, as well as a list of the materials that will need to be ordered and used. This is important in order to avoid misunderstandings later down the line.
Where possible, establish where any materials will be coming from and what brand they are. This is to make sure that good quality products are going to be used, and that inferior ones are avoided. Using poor quality products is risky, as it increases the chances of fire and electric shock.
Be alert if the quote seems very cheap. Even though this is what most of us would like, it is worth asking the provider how they can carry out the work so reasonably, bearing in mind all of their costs. You want to make sure again that good quality products are being used.
Take time to consider your quotes, and decide what is right for you and your home.
Don’t feel pressured into accepting a quote before you have had time to consider it carefully.
