How To Choose An Electrician

Whether you have a plan for a remodel, small projects, or you have an unexpected repair, it’s important to choose an electrician that you can trust and you know has the experience you need. Palm Desert Rangel Electric offers the following guidelines when evaluating and choosing an electrical company.

Longevity in Business: this doesn’t guarantee great service, but it’s a good place to start. Generally, if a business has been in the same location for a number of years, they must be doing something right to remain successful. Rangel Electric has been in the Coachella Valley providing electrical services for nearly 20 years and we pride ourselves on quality, professional work and the highest level of customer service.

Reviews: the best review you can get about a company is a referral from somebody you know, but this is not always possible. The Better Business Bureau is a great source because they accredit businesses themselves and investigate any disputes. Community-driven reviews such as Yelp or Angie’s List can also be a great resource. Keep in mind, however, that there can be extreme accounts of good or bad service, so the it’s often best to ignore the extremes and just focus on the consistency of positive reviews.  Rangel Electric has an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, 4.5 (out of 5) Stars on Yelp, and an Overall A rating on Angie’s List.

Certifications: the skills of an electrician are some of the most important that you may employ as inadequate abilities with wiring and circuitry could leave you in a dangerous situation. Be sure that when you choose an electrician, the company is certified and licensed in your state as well as holds appropriate insurance and bonding.

Specialties: most electricians are be able to manage general repairs and wiring, but if you have a bigger or specific project planned, you will want to find the right electrical company. At Rangel Electric, we work with residential and commercial projects, and specialize in home theater audio visual design and installation, as well as complete planning and installation for interior lighting design and exterior lighting design.

Choosing an electrician is important. The more information you have, the more likely you are to be happy with your decision. Even if you don’t have a big project planned, it’s best to do your research and develop a relationship with an electrical company before you have an emergency or even just need a quick repair. At Rangel Electric, it’s our goal to remain the premiere electrical contractor in the Palm Springs area, delivering the highest level of customer care, dependability, design assistance, professional finish and expertise in every service that we provide. We hope to be your first choice electric company.
