Without electricity, we’d all be living in the Dark Ages. But it only takes one power outage to realize just how much our businesses and our lives rely upon electrical power. Without it, businesses are non-productive, and/ families are at home in the dark without the ability to cook, clean, use their technology devices, or access entertainment media. To keep your company, home, or industry up and running it is essential to include in your cell phone contacts, a reliable licensed electrician in Brooklyn. Even for long-established businesses, locating the right commercial electrician in Brooklyn might be difficult. Many contractors advertise their services from the Yellow Pages to Angi, but what should you look for to be certain you are hiring the right team to support your needs? For over 40 years, ACM Electrical Contracting has been serving our customers and clients in the 5 boroughs. We know what it takes because we have what it takes: the licenses, certification, training, experience, and expertise to fulfill a broad range of power installations, maintenance, and repair requirements. Here’s what you need to look for when you’re looking to hire the best-licensed electrician for your Brooklyn-based business, residence, or commercial industry.
Qualifications for Licensed Electricians in Brooklyn
The New York State Department of Buildings mandates that every electrician working in Brooklyn must be licensed to perform electrical work. Did you know? There are two types of licenses issued by the state: Master Electrician and Special Electrician. Here’s what each entails:
- A Master Electrician License is required to request a construction permit for electrical work or to perform such work in New York City.
- A Special Electrician License is required to request a construction permit for electrical work or to perform such work under the employment of a building owner in New York City.
What to Look for When Hiring a Licensed Electrician
When looking to hire a Brooklyn commercial electrician, do not take their word for licenses and certifications. Ask to see these documents. If they cannot or will not produce them, that’s a pretty obvious reason to delete them from your list of candidates! Professional electrical contractors will have several different types of licenses for different types of jobs. For example, a state-certified, licensed commercial electrician for your Brooklyn home or business is considered to be at the top of our profession. Electricians who are certified by a specific county can only work in that county and are restricted to performing only specific electrical services, not a broad range. These pros are specialists.
Here’s what you should be asking every Brooklyn commercial electrician before hiring them for any job:
- Are you insured? Carrying this coverage states that should an accident occur while on the job, the insured electrical contractor is liable for any of their workers’ injuries as well as for any property that is damaged as a result of their services.
- What are your credentials? As reliable, dependable commercial electricians in Brooklyn, ACM Electrical Contracting is informed and skilled in the latest technologies relative to installations, repairs, replacements, upgrades, etc. as well as business practices.
