Choosing the Right Electrician.
These days, when you need an electrician, the first instinct is simple: pick up your phone, type “electrician near me” into Google, and click on the first name that pops up. But is the first result always the right choice? Not necessarily.
At Stack Electric, we’ve worked with countless homeowners and business owners across Hamilton and the surrounding areas who have told us, “I wish I knew what to look for before I hired my last electrician.” Here’s what you should be thinking about before making that important call
Don’t Just Look at the Ranking—Look at the Credentials
What you should look for:
- Licensed Electrical Contractor: In Ontario, only licensed electrical contractors can legally be hired for electrical work.
- Insurance and Safety: Make sure they carry proper liability coverage and follow ESA permit requirements.
- Experience in Your Type of Project: Residential wiring isn’t the same as commercial service upgrades. Choose an electrician with proven experience in the work you need done
Reputation Matters
Reviews are a great place to start—but read beyond the star rating. Look at comments about:
- Response time
- Quality of work
- Professionalism on site
- How issues (if any) were resolved
A company’s reputation is built on consistency, not just one flashy review
Communication and Transparency
The best electricians don’t just show up with tools—they show up with answers. Pay attention to:
- How quickly they return your call or email.
- Whether they provide a clear, written estimate.
- If they take the time to explain the process, so you’re not left in the dark
A good electrician should make you feel informed and confident from start to finish.
