Things To Consider Before Your Electrical Project

We all want as few surprises as possible! Extensive experience has shown us that a few key decisions made early, can assist with the overall flow and cost of a project. Below are examples of some topics that could be addressed proactively.

What should I be prepared for during electrical work?
Be prepared for potential noise implications and possible power interruptions during the service call or renovation. We always strive to minimize disruption.

Are there any upfront costs?

In most cases, a deposit of up to 50% be required before work begins. We will discuss all financial details transparently with you beforehand.

Have I thought about asbestos?

Depending on the age of your property and the scope of work, an asbestos test may be required. This can cost between $30-$100 for a lab sample. We can advise you on this during our initial consultation. This substance can be very harmful if not dealt with properly.

How can I best prepare for the work?

Planning ahead is key! Less time will be needed if the area of work is fully accessible. Make sure to clear a path and have any keys or access codes on hand. We recommend discussing all potential issues and your expectations with us so we can forecast and mitigate any problems efficiently.

What mistakes do people commonly make?

One common mistake is not considering how the requested work will be accomplished. There may be a requirement to cut drywall, access an attic, or dig a trench, for example. We will attempt to identify and address some of the strategies we may use to complete the work.

Will my power be out for long?
While power interruption is sometimes necessary, we plan meticulously to minimize downtime and communicate any scheduled outages clearly.

Why is planning ahead so important?
Proper planning allows us to identify and address challenges proactively, saving you time and stress, and ensuring the highest quality outcome for your electrical project.
