Price and Value

While price is an important consideration when choosing an electrician, there are a number of other factors that you need to take into account when making your choice.

Our service aims to provide what you are looking for in an electrician. Not only competence, an emphasis on safety and a reasonable price, but also reliability, neat and tidy work, responsiveness to your needs, regular communication throughout the process and a friendly, approachable manner.

Be wary of services that seem too cheap

The use of the word "cheap" can make an offer sound appealing. However, some contractors who emphasise "cheap" may be cutting corners and compromising your safety. If people are under-charging for each job, it can mean they need to rush their work and fit in more jobs in order to make a living. Another way they might cut costs is to use inferior quality parts.

More expensive doesn't necessarily mean "better" either

Every business has different running costs, expenses and profit margins, and these result in different prices.

Larger electrical companies usually need to charge more in order to function. They have admin staff, sales people and managers to pay for. An electrician from a larger business who works on your installation is not necessarily more experienced or better qualified than an independent electrician. Their higher price is often due to greater business overheads. So, a more expensive price doesn't necessarily mean a better job.

Better to judge on overall value

The value of an electrician's service is a combination of elements:

• the safety and quality of the work,
• helping you understand exactly what you are getting for your money
• clearly explaining what the process involves (e.g. any other work that might need to be done, such as plastering)
• providing a positive overall experience of the process (i.e. good customer service)
• price.

You also want to make sure that they are suitably qualified, fully insured and preferably belong to an organisation, such as NAPIT, who ensure that they have to meet stringent standards in order to be a member.

In short, you want a good job done, safely, with the minimum of hassle, and at a reasonable price.
