How to Not Be Ripped Off by Electricians?

By Mommy Lei -


The electricity that you use on a daily basis is the bloodline for all the appliances that you use every day. Sometimes, you may face problems with electricity or some of the electrical appliances at home. During such times, instead of opting for a DIY solution, it is better to hire an electrician to deal with the problem and fix it for you. You will come across several electricians around your locality. However, which one is the best of the lot is difficult to find out. This is where you need to understand the signs of an ill-reputed electrician.


Signs That Prove Your Electrician Is Ripping You Off
It is true that telling a person’s intentions and true motivations are never simple. Nonetheless, here are some signs that prove your electrician is cleverly and clearly ripping you off. Knowing these signs will help you get back in control before you get ripped completely.

  • Frequent Changes in The Price Quoted: It is true that quotes given by electricians for any project is never going to be the final quote unless you use www.thgelectrical.com.au. It is just to give you an idea of the total cost involved in completing any electrical job. There are several electricians who deliberately quote a low price to make it seem too good a deal for you to avoid. However, once the work starts, the electrician may increase the total price several times.
  • Refuses to Use Terms That You Can Understand: Homeowners are seldom well versed with the lingo used by professional electricians. Dishonest electricians use this to their advantage. Most of them will describe the problem to you in big professional terms to make you get concerned about the problem and the seriousness of it all. Later, he may go ahead and quote you an astronomical price for the project.
  • Blow Small Problems Out of Proportions: Dishonest electricians also tend to turn small scale problems into big issues. They practically take advantage of your lack of information on the topic and make it look as if immediate steps need to be taken to fix it. If you know about the problem, you may take a second opinion from another electrician before you choose the final professional.
  • Ask for A Big Deposit Upfront: It is always a good idea to be wary of those electricians who charge a big deposit upfront. Such large amounts of deposits are necessary in other projects such as custom-built cabinetry and woodworking. Professional electricians generally work for a company that has a tab for the purchase of different necessary items. Thus, they should never ask for more than 20% of the total price of a project.
  • Use of Broken or Dirty Equipment: It is not required for electricians to have the greatest and latest tools in order to prove their levels of experience and reputation. However, if their tools are visibly low-quality or in disrepair, it proves that they come from a low-quality and not very reputed company. Such companies seldom put a lot of focus on their work.
