What to ask before you hire, from Rocky.
Licensed electricians for panels, rewiring, EV chargers and renovations. Use this checklist when you compare electricians, then ask Rocky if you want a second opinion.
- Electrician is a compulsory trade in Alberta: the person doing the work must be a certified journeyperson or a registered apprentice.
- Ask who takes out the electrical permit.
- Get at least two written quotes that list scope, materials, schedule and payment stages.
- Contractors who take money before the work is finished need an Alberta prepaid contracting licence. Ask for the number before you pay a deposit.
- Ask for a WCB Alberta clearance letter and proof of liability insurance.
- Read recent reviews and ask for references from jobs like yours.
