Why Choose a Contractor that is Licensed & Bonded
If you are looking for a troubleshoot specialist to help with an electrical project in your home, then you want someone who is both experienced and properly licensed, bonded and insured, which is exactly where we come in.
Bonding is a form of guarantee that the contractor won't steal your things, commit fraud, or do other misfeasance of this type. If he does any of that, the bonding agency will pay you for your losses. In order to get bonded, a person has to pass a background check and other requirements of the bonding agency. This is how the agency avoids bonding crooks who will cause them to have to pay claims. It is good for you because if the agency sees a high risk, it will not bond the person.
Insurance goes beyond bonding. It kicks in if the electrician or other troubleshoot specialist causes personal injury or property damage during the performance of the work. It also covers the cost of any injuries sustained by the contractor while on the job, thereby protecting you from personal injury lawsuits. Most claims against contractors are covered by this form of insurance instead of bonding.
Because these protections greatly lower your risk, be sure that any contractor you hire is both bonded and insured. If you have any doubts, don't be shy to ask for their license or registration number over the phone and then check it out.
