Three reasons why you should always hire a licensed electrician

The standard of training

Being a licensed electrical systems operator on the Mornington Peninsula, means that exams have been passed, many years of hands-on training has been administered and very specific certification in property specialization was undertaken. Doing electrical work on residential and commercial properties can be dangerous for the technician and for the people that use the electrical systems. It’s, therefore, of the utmost importance that you use a licensed electrician because they are specifically trained to meet government standards of safety.

Government standards are usually much more complicated and stringent than your scope of risky vs safe and that’s because it’s their job to know what’s best for you. When licensing is given to an electrician in Mornington Peninsula it means that they’ve been through a lot of intense training so that they can give you that high level of safe service. It’ll show how they communicate with you and even in how they handle their work. Each step that an electrician will perform on your property is guided by national electrical code, so they’re not just winging it. Licensed electricians are more knowledgeable about them than unlicensed electricians and ultimately, it’s better to be safe than sorry.

Insurance is required

Most business owners in Australia must have some sort of insurance, but for certain types of businesses and service providers, such as an electrician in Mornington Peninsula, it is lawfully mandatory. Electricians are required to hold some type of insurance, like public liability insurance, before they’re even able to obtain a contracting license in many of Australia’s states. Whether it’s domestic or commercial work, licensed electricians must be insured to operate legally. This has many benefits for you as a customer. The insurance guidelines for electrical contractors are designed to protect electricians and property owners from any financial impacts following certain events.

• Insurance will cover the costs of a claim against your home or business where negligent actions may have resulted in property damage or personal injury to another person
• Insurance also covers instances when an electrician is found to be responsible for property damage or personal injury to another person
• Insurance covers all the costs involved and can include repair/replacement of damaged property, medical expenses, and other forms of compensation in the event of personal injury or death.

National electrical code adherence

You may not realize it, but the laws for electrical use in Mornington Peninsula are changing all the time. And even if we unknowingly ignore constantly updated electrical codes, electrical systems are getting outdated by newer technology that is being designed for public use every year. In both these cases, licensed electricians are the most qualified to keep you up to date with electrical developments. That’s because they’re licensing requires that they operate according to the latest law and modern safety features. While they are doing work on your home or business property, they’re also making sure that everything is operating up to standard because if you are found to be using electricity illegally, the consequences could be harsh. Unfortunately, it’s very likely that you could be missing out on what is lawful and what isn’t when it comes to your electrical systems. A licensed electrician can easily rectify any faulty or outdated electrical item on your property that you didn’t even know needed addressing.
