Melbourne electricians

Getting some major electrical work done on your home means you'll need the help of an experienced electrician. The competition amongst Melbourne electricians is cutthroat and you'll need to have your wits about you when searching for one.

Here's an easy process for weeding out the bad guys:

• Ask friends, family and neighbours if they can recommend any
• At the very minimum, get 3 quotes from separate electricians (in writing where possible)
• Ask for the electrician's license number, they also must show you their ID on request
• Ask if the electrician will give you a Certificate of Electrical Safety after the job is complete
• Get all contracts for work in writing. If the electrician is reluctant to do this, they are not worth the risk
• Don't agree to discount cash jobs at rock bottom prices.

You get what you pay for

Remember, you're paying an experienced tradesman to perform specialist electrical work. This is one thing you don't want to scrimp money on. The consequences of hiring a shifty electrician are almost too shocking to think about (no pun intended).
