If you have a need to hire an electrician in Vancouver, WA or an electrician in Portland, Oregon you need to look for these electrical standards to insure that the job will be done correctly and safely.

• Use only a licensed electrician—You will often find handymen who claim to understand electrical work. They might, but you can’t afford to take the chance. Make sure you have a fully licensed electrician doing the work in your Portland or Vancouver home.
• Having a license is a good starting point. Now make sure your Portland, Oregon electrician or the electrical contractor in Vancouver, WA has had a lot of experience.   Amp Electric has done the electrical work in hundreds of homes and businesses around in the Vancouver and Portland area.
• The only electricians you want in your home or business are ones that can show you insurance papers. If a Vancouver electrical contractor is not insured, you as the owner of the home or business may be held liable for any damage that occurs during the work. This includes fire damage. If someone is hurt, even a member of the electrical crew, you could possibly be sued for damages since it occurred on your property.
• Qualified Portland, Oregon electricians are also bonded. This means that if they do not complete the work as promised the company bonding the contractor will pay you compensation. Because of this a bonded contractor is unlikely to leave a job before it is completed.

When interviewing Portland, Oregon or Vancouver, WA electrical contractors you should expect a written estimate. At Amp Electric we would love to give you a free estimate.
