Phase 1 Electrical (03) 337 0330Electrical problems are not something to mess around with. If you are experiencing any issues with the electricity in your home or commercial building, it is absolutely critical that you find a skilled and experienced Christchurch electrician right away to diagnose and fix the electrical problem as soon as possible. Here are some important tips to help you choose the right tradesman for the job.

Identify the electrical problem or project that you want to have done.
Many Christchurch electricians specialise in certain types of electrical work or projects, so it is important to have a good understanding of what type of work you need to have done. Having an electrical emergency may require a very different response than if you need to rewire for a new home appliance. Get price quotes from several companies with specific experience in the type of work that you want to have done.
Ask for referrals.
Ask family members, neighbours, friends and co-workers if they know of a good contractor that they can recommend to you. Quite often personal referrals from someone you know and trust is the best way to find a qualified professional who will do a good job.

Call at least three different companies.
Ask about their experience, both in terms of how long they have been in business as well as the specific types of jobs they have worked on. Also, ask for references from past customers. Get a price quote and enquire about insurance and qualifications.
