If you live in Pretoria and you have an electrical problem, you need a professional solve… like in yesterday. A quick online search will probably reveal numerous providers in Pretoria and Centurion. But when deciding on the best electrician in your area, it’s crucial to make an informed decision. Of course, you can use the guy with the placard offering electrical services – we know it’s tempting to save a buck or two. But the consequences of faulty wiring or patch jobs are often very serious.

Finding a vetted and trustworthy electrician doesn’t need to be painful. In fact, we specialise in only contracting professional, experienced and vetted electricians to work for us. Our brand name is too hard-earned for us to risk it.  

But regardless of which electrician in Pretoria or Centurion you decide on, ask your potential service provider the following questions:

WHAT IS YOUR TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE?

Working with electricity potentially carries the risk of electrical shock, injury and damage to property. Professional electricians have had years of specialist training and hands-on experience in performing these task safely and timeously. But even with years of experience, some electricians might not be comfortable with specific jobs such as installing solar systems or pre-paid electricity meters. So always ask your electrician about specific experience relating to your specific job at hand.  

DO YOU HAVE A LICENSE? 

Never hire a person who is not licensed. The risk to yourself and your property is simply not worth it. A licensed electrician holds specific qualifications and experience in the field. So always ask your electrician about his or her qualifications and remember that many insurers will not pay out damages if you used an unlicenced electrician. 

ASK ABOUT PRICING 

Pricing plays an important role in hiring a person for the job. You already know your budget, so it’s best to stick with it. Different electricians charge differently. Discuss your budget and the job requirements with the electrician first before starting the work, to avoid any nasty surprises once the job is invoiced. It also helps to give a thorough description of the problem to our friendly operators at our national call centre when they get in touch with you after you’ve filled in your details online. They’ll instruct a qualified electrician to call you to discuss costs.  

ASK ABOUT THE GUARANTEE / WARRANTY   

A good electrician will always give a warranty/guarantee for work delivered. Furthermore, most electricians will also give a warranty on the equipment, fixtures, or devices they purchase to complete the project. 

IF STILL UNSURE – ASK FOR REFERENCES

Nothing says as much as a beaming, happy client. At Electro Surgeon we pride ourselves on our happy client testimonials. So if you’re still unsure about your potential provider, ask for contactable references. It shows that the electrician is legit and has performed similar tasks successfully. It also speaks volumes about their work ethic and client relationship style.  BEST ELECTRICIANS IN PRETORIA BEST ELECTRICIANS IN PRETORIA BEST ELECTRICIANS IN PRETORIA BEST ELECTRICIANS IN PRETORIA

ASK ABOUT INSURANCE 

Ideally, you should use a provider that has insurance cover such as workers’ compensation insurance (?) and liability insurance. It not only protects the electrician but also limits the risk to yourself as the customer.
