Common Reasons to Hire an Electrician
How to Compare Electrical Contractors
Verify the Contractor License
Confirm that the contractor has an active Arizona Registrar of Contractors license appropriate for the electrical work being proposed.
Ask About Permits
Determine whether the project requires a permit and inspection. The contractor should explain who will obtain the permit.
Request Written Estimates
Ask for a written estimate describing labor, equipment, materials, permit costs and any possible additional charges.
Confirm Insurance and Bonding
Verify that the business maintains appropriate insurance and any bonding required for its contractor license.
Discuss Electrical Capacity
A new 240-volt outlet or EV charger may require an electrician to evaluate the home's panel capacity and existing electrical load.
Review Warranty Terms
Ask what workmanship warranty is provided and which products or equipment include manufacturer warranties.
Check Recent References
Look for recent reviews and request references from customers with similar electrical projects.
Avoid Unsafe Shortcuts
Be cautious when someone suggests avoiding required permits, using undersized wiring or performing work outside the electrical code.
Installing a 240-Volt Outlet or EV Charger
Installing a 240-volt outlet usually involves more than simply adding a receptacle. The electrician may need to evaluate the electrical panel, determine the available capacity, install a dedicated circuit and breaker, select the correct wire size and determine whether permits or inspections are required.
Homeowners should tell the electrician exactly what equipment will use the outlet. An electric vehicle charger, welder, air compressor, clothes dryer or other appliance may have different voltage, amperage, wiring and receptacle requirements.
What Does “Licensed” Really Mean?
A person or company describing itself as licensed does not necessarily mean it holds an electrical contractor license from the Arizona Registrar of Contractors. The term could refer to a city business license, tax registration or another authorization to conduct business.
An Arizona Registrar of Contractors license, commonly identified by an ROC number, means the contractor has met state requirements for one or more classifications of construction work. Homeowners should verify that the license is active and that its classification covers the electrical work being proposed.
How to Verify an Arizona ROC License
Do not rely solely on a license number printed on a vehicle, website, business card or estimate. Verify it independently because a number could be expired, assigned to another business or issued for a classification that does not cover the proposed electrical work.
Benefits of Hiring an ROC-Licensed Electrical Contractor
Electrical Safety Reminder
Electrical installations can create shock, electrocution and fire risks when performed incorrectly. Homeowners should avoid attempting unfamiliar electrical work and should not hire someone solely because the price is low. Verify qualifications, contractor licensing, etc.
