Hiring the right electrician for your home is a crucial decision. Electrical work requires skill and expertise, and choosing the wrong person could result in dangerous consequences. At Moreheat, our team of fully qualified electricians has years of experience and a solid reputation built on trust and quality work. Unfortunately, we’ve seen the aftermath of poorly done jobs by other electricians, which is why we created this guide to help you make the best choice. By following the advice here, you’ll be confident in hiring a reliable, qualified electrician to handle your needs.

Key factors to consider when choosing an electrician
The first step in finding the right electrician is to look at their local reputation. It’s easy for anyone to claim they’re good at what they do, but the best feedback comes from those who have hired them. Ask your friends, family, or neighbours for recommendations based on their experiences.

Also, spend time reading online reviews. Websites like Google or trade-specific platforms can give you a good idea of the quality of service others have received. Take your time with the decision-making process and don’t rush, unless you’re dealing with an emergency. This research phase should help you narrow your list of potential electricians.

Certifications and qualifications
One of the simplest ways to check if an electrician is properly qualified is to ask for their NICEIC card, the National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting, which is the governing body for electricians in the UK. You can check their online database to verify if the electrician you’re considering is certified and registered. Always make sure to check their credentials before they begin any work. At Moreheat, all our electricians are fully certified, registered with NICEIC, and carry their ID badges for complete transparency.

Essential questions to ask before hiring
Before hiring an electrician, we recommend asking these four essential questions:

  1. Do you have references?
    A reliable electrician should have multiple references and be willing to share them. They might even allow you to speak with previous clients.
  2. Do you offer any guarantees?
    Any reputable electrician should stand by their work. At Moreheat, we guarantee customer satisfaction. If an issue arises due to our workmanship or materials, we will happily resolve it.
  3. Are you insured?
    Public liability insurance is a must. It covers potential issues that might arise from the work. At Moreheat, we carry comprehensive insurance to ensure peace of mind.
  4. Are you licensed?
    Confirm that your electrician is NICEIC-registered, and/or a member of NAPIT, the National Association of Professional Inspectors and Testers - a leading government-approved membership scheme. This ensures they have the necessary qualifications and are following industry standards.

Why local experience matters
We believe choosing a local electrician is often better than opting for a national company. With national services, you can feel like just another number. In contrast, local electricians rely on positive customer experiences to grow their business. A local electrician, like those at Moreheat, is more likely to provide personalised service and is invested in maintaining a good reputation in the community. At Moreheat, nearly 90% of our new customers come through personal referrals, a testament to the trust we’ve built in Torquay, Exeter, and the surrounding areas.
