Don’t Get Burned by the Wrong Hire – Here's What to Look For

Price is an important factor, but remember that tradespeople are not created equal - there's more to a quote than just the bottom line.

Are They Qualified?

There are unlicensed cowboys out there. Any electrical work they complete will be non-compliant and wont be covered by your insurance. Always ask to see a license. In New Zealand, all residential electrical work must legally be done by a licensed electrician.‍

Time In Business

New companies may offer lower cost services, however using them can be a gamble. Many companies fail within the first 5 years - A lifetime guarantee doesn't mean much if the company is no longer around. Most reliable electricians in Auckland have been operating for over a decade, which gives added confidence in their warranties and future support.

Reviews & Reputation

Online reviews are the easiest way to gauge how happy you'll be with the company's service. Choose a company with a 4 Star + Rating, and stay away fro many 3 Star or below. Electricians in Auckland with consistently high Google reviews tend to maintain better job quality and after-service care,which is crucial for long-term reliability.

Warranties and Guarantees

Make sure the company offers a workmanship guarantee, and check that all products supplied have a decent warranty period. Short warranties are a dead giveaway for low-quality products.

Are They Insured?

Always ask for a certificate of currency for liability insurance, the minimum cover should be $5M.
There are nightmare stories of properties burning down due to substandard work,where the tradesperson has had low or no insurance cover - leaving the owner out of pocket.
