How To Hire A Service Call Electrician       5 Simple Steps

  1.  Check if your electrical contractor is LICENSED through Technical Safety BC.  Never hire an unlicensed electrician as you could put your home at risk for an electrical fire.   You can easily confirm an electrical contractor’s licensing status on the Technical Safety BC website.
  2.  Ask if your contractor has a valid business license and is legally permitted to work in your community.
  3.  View your electrician’s proof of liability insurance and be sure the coverage is adequate [Comox Valley Electric carries $3,000,000 liability insurance].   A reputable contractor should be happy to provide you with proof of insurance coverage.    
  4.  Confirm your electrician’s good standing with WorkSafe BC by obtaining an online Clearance Letter   This process takes just moments but ensures you are working with a professional who has valid WorkSafe BC coverage.
  5. Check to see if your electrical contractor is Better Business Bureau Accredited.   This 3rd party independent accreditation provides a reassuring level of authentication for homeowners.
