The Importance of Electricity

It can be hard to imagine a world without electricity, but such a thing existed not so long ago. Prior to incandescent lights, nightfall was only ventured out into with the assistance of candles or guiding stars. Entertainment devices were limited to manual things like puppet shows, live performances, and wooden dolls. It’d be hard for someone from the 1700s to comprehend what we have today.

In short, electricity is one of the cornerstones of modern living. It allows you to operate not only your appliances but also your lights, appliances, and security devices. Outside of the home, the added brightness can extend usable hours past sunset and into the witching hours. Cars and trains also rely on electricity to convey passengers to their final destinations. That’s not to mention all the power that goes into vital services like firefighting, hospitals, schools, and governmental facilities.

Keeping all of these things working properly requires work from electricians and electrical engineers. So, the next time you binge-watch a new TV show, take a moment to give thanks for their hard work. But it should be noted that not all “electricians” boast the same service level and qualifications. In the next section, we’ll go over what to look for in an electrician in Watertown.

What to Look for in an Electrician

When having electrical work done around your home or business, you want to get good work at a reasonable price. But choosing the right electrician in Watertown can be hard. Doubly so if you don't know what to look for. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of the top 5 things to look at when evaluating a contractor:

• License and Insurance: Don’t hire a handyman and don’t try to do your own electrical work. Choose an electrician that is licensed to work in the state of Wisconsin. This is the only guarantee that your contractor has done the study and practical work needed to safely handle your home’s electrical needs. You should also verify all their work and employees are covered by comprehensive insurance. This ensures you are covered in case of accident or property damage.
• Value for Your Money: Before finalizing a company for your electrical repair or installation, we suggest getting three or four quotes. This will ensure you pick an electrician with reasonable prices. Though, if you want superior service, we suggest not going with the bottom-of-the-barrel price. Make sure the quote your given provides a full breakdown of cost and labor. This will prevent surprise charges later.
• Qualifications and Experience: Not all licensed electricians are the same and may possess different areas of electrical expertise. Additional certifications may also qualify them for commercial or industrial work. If there is little difference in accreditation, find out how long the company has been open and how much experience it requires from its electricians. The more knowledge an electrical contractor has, the more likely he or she will be able to tackle your electrical issue in Watertown.
• Recommendations and Referrals: Ask people you know who they use for electrical work in Watertown. And, when you do, we bet our name comes up. If you’re short on locals for recommendations, check out your potential contractor’s Google listing for a list of reviews. Also take time to see how the electrical service company handles complaints and negative feedback. If their responses are anything but positive, run.
• Attitude and Communication: Do they answer the phone politely on the first or second ring? Did they forget to return your call? Know that these initial interactions with the company are often indicative of how future service will go. Rest assured that our CSRs and electricians prioritize your satisfaction and go out of our way to ensure you like the service you receive.

As you might have guessed, Carew Heating & A/C checks every box on the above list. That’s why we believe—when it comes to electrical replacement in Watertown—we’re the go-to electrical contractor.
