Before choosing an electrician, it is first necessary to define your needs: construction or renovation, complete or partial installation of the electrical system, etc. Only then can you define the selection criteria: references from clients with whom he has already worked, experience and qualifications (training courses taken), insurance and guarantees (damage to work, delivery time, perfect completion, etc.), compliance with current standards and legislation, etc. Choosing a good electrician also involves drawing up a detailed estimate, which is a guarantee of professionalism. This should contain the start and finish dates of the work, the price including VAT, the payment terms and any penalties for late payment.
