Tips for Dealing with Electrical Contractors in San Mateo County 

Take Time Choosing Among the Best Electricians.
Be selective. Quality varies widely among local electricians, so you should carefully screen any new electrical contractor you consider.

Describe the Problem to the Electrician.
When you're making calls to good electricians, you'll save time and energy if you can thoroughly describe the home wiring, home rewiring, or electrical repair work you need done. If you need electrical repairs, scrutinize the affected wiring elements as safely as possible (this isn't a good time to be brave) and familiarize yourself with all of the symptoms you can identify. When you provide this information to a good electrician, he'll be able to estimate costs and labor more accurately. He may direct you to PG&E (which usually has no charge) or he may be able to suggest a simple solution you can perform yourself.

Do Your Homework Before You Make an Appointment with an Electrical Contractor.
For any electrical repair or home wiring work, be sure to check licensing, industry certifications, workers' compensation and liability insurance before you seriously consider any contractors.

Get Multiple Estimates Over the Phone From the Electricians.
You should consult a few different electricians about your required work. This isn't necessarily just to find the cheapest electrician. It will help you get an idea of all electricians abilities as well as their attitudes toward you and your home wiring or electrical repair needs. Even if it turns out to be a simple electrical problem, good electricians should be able to be respectful of your home while providing quality electrical repair or electrical installation work.

Get Everything in Writing From the Electricians.
Before any electrical repair or home wiring work commences, make sure that the electricians provide you with a written description of the electrical repair or home wiring work, pricing and timeframe for completion.

Maintain Great Communication During the Electrical Repair or Home Wiring Work.
Make sure you are available while the electrical contractors are working, be it by phone or in person. They may have questions for you about the electrical details of your home, or may want to report changes or problems. You should be able to ask when you have the slightest doubt about how a job is going. In short, good communication is essential with the electrical contractors, and it takes both parties to accomplish it.

Agree In Advance to Approve Electrical Repairs or Wiring Installation Upon Completion.
After the job is completed, look at the detailed agreement you signed before electrical work started. Test the electrical repairs and go over any changes or problems with the electricians. Compare his report to the contract. Bring up any work that differs from what you agreed to.

Know Your Rights When Working with Electrical Contractors in San Mateo County.
Consumers have some special rights depending on where they live. You're dealing with residential electrical contractors in San Mateo County, so you can reference the Web site for the California Department of Consumer Affairs.

Make Sure the Electrical Contractors Ask The Right Questions.
If the electrical contractors seem indifferent or overly lax about the issues at hand, don't settle for that electrical service company. You're not the only one that should be asking questions. The best electricians should fully acquaint themselves with your situation before they propose any repairs or make any estimates.
