How to Choose the Right Electrician: What to Ask Before Hiring

Electrical work isn't something you want to leave to chance. Whether you're rewiring a room, adding circuits for a renovation, or handling an emergency repair, the electrician you choose matters. Here's what to ask before you hire.

1. Are You Licensed and Insured?

Always verify. A licensed NJ electrical contractor has passed the required exams and carries liability insurance. This protects you, your property, and ensures all work meets local code.

2. How Long Have You Been in Business?

Experience matters in the electrical trade. Mike DiNinno brings 30+ years of hands-on knowledge across residential, commercial, and industrial work, not years of office time, but years in the field.

3. Do You Guarantee Your Work in Writing?

Any professional contractor will stand behind their work. Ask for the guarantee in writing before any work begins.

4. Can You Provide References?

Follow up on references, don't just collect the list. Ask whether work was done on time, on budget, and to their satisfaction. Ask if they would hire again.

5. Is the Estimate Clear and Itemized?

Before you commit, you should understand exactly what you're paying for: labor, materials, permits, and any potential extras. No surprises.
