How do I pick a good electrician?

This topic is available here on The Repair-Place forum I am having some lighting fixtures and other electrical work done in my home and would like to know if there is a good way to choose a reliable electrician. First I would check with some of your friends and work colleagues. If no luck there, then look in the local newspaper yellow pages. Some electricians specialize in smaller or larger jobs too. Ask for referrals and then CALL THEM. Ask questions about showing up when scheduled and about cost overages. Also ask about insurance and workers comp if needed. You can ask his insurance company to send you a certificate of insurance but don’t accept one directly from him though. TheGuru
