2. After seeing signs of possible electrical fault in your house, not
addressing the problem may lead to a much bigger issues that may
cause you more than you thought. Many are saying that prevention is
better than cure and this is applicable to any field and not just in the
medical area. Preventing electrical fire and another hazard a faulty
electrical system can give is much better especially if such signs that
something might be wrong have already been identified. Not only did
you prevent the possibility of danger but also save yourself a whole lot
of money. Calling for the professional is better and once the
professional in the electrical field came, there are some questions that
you should be asking.
3. Are you licensed?
If you are living in a state or country where electricians are required to
pass such test and acquire a license then it is only logical to ask for
any identification that backup his claim as a professional electrician.
You and your family’s safety relies on their hands and making sure
that he is reliable in doing the job can make you feel safe and relax.
4. Is my electrical panel needed replacement?
According to the National Electrical code, a minimum of 100 amp
incoming electrical service is needed and any service panel that
provide lesser than a 100 should be upgraded. Your service panel
should meet the current requirement to avoid any dangerous backlash
in the future. Most of the today’s home are wired with a 200-amp
service.
5. Do I need to apply for a permit?
If there is any permit needed, the electrician in Glendale can make the
application for you. There are some municipalities that allow
homeowners to do minor installations and electrical repairs after
securing a perfect and have their work inspected after the completion.
6. Are there any hidden charges?
A good electrician will conduct a very thorough preliminary
investigation and will provide an accurate and firm estimation of the
work along with the cost of the wiring and fixtures that will be installed.
Any additional work that is necessary can be discussed and
negotiated and will be billed separately.
7. If the service needs upgrading, does the entire house needed to be
rewired?
If you are living in a very old house then rewiring everything is needed.
The probability of the whole house rewiring is very rare, old houses
with a not so updated electrical service tend to bring more problem
than you would anticipate and should be expected. Same goes to
certain rooms that need extra electrical capacity where new outlets
and wiring are more likely to be needed.
