How to Effectively Compare Electrical Estimates Getting ready to invest in an electrical upgrade for your home or needing to upgrade or repair the electrical system of your office? How do you know which electrical service provider you can trust? Caddell Electric would like to offer some simple answers to that question. First of all, approach two or more companies offering the same basic services and compare their estimates for price, time and materials. If one or more seem either too high or to low, that is a major red flag. How to compare the estimates? Here we have listed some important points to consider when you compare the electrical estimates offered by different service providers. 1. Check if the company is a member of Better Business Bureau (BBB) and has good reviews and customer ratings. 2. Check for the customer feedbacks, BBB reports complaints registered after the completion of the project. 3. Check to make sure the estimate includes all the things required to get the job done correctly, on budget and on time. 4. Compare the warranty period offered and just what it covers. 5. Ask for clarification for the bids you feel may be high. 6. Check for the services which may not actually be necessary to complete the job and ask them to remove them from the estimate. 7. If you find the estimate is surprisingly cheap, check for the company’s insurance and license details. 8. ALWAYS make sure they are licensed, and insured by the state of Texas. If you can’t verify they are, RUN. 9. Ask for references.
