Before you decide on a single electrical contractor to carry out the work, it’s worth following our top tips to find high-quality and safe installers – particularly as they will be working within your home.
- Do they have experience with the alarm systems you need?
Wired and wireless burglar alarms can differ widely in terms of installation needs, effectiveness, and the level of active monitoring they offer. Choose a company that is experienced with the alarm system you want.
- Do they have public liability insurance and in-date insurance documents?
Without these things, if the installation of your burglar alarm systems doesn’t go smoothly, you may not be legally protected or get your money back.
- Are they accredited by a professional body?
Trustworthy electrical contractors should be members of any number of professional organisations to maintain high standards and professional excellence.
This should include the SSAIB (Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board), ECA (Electrical Contractors Association), Joint Industry Board, and Construction Line.
- Are they approved by their local authority or council? Do staff hold up-to-date DBS checks?
To ensure nobody with a criminal record will be working in your home, reputable businesses will carry out criminal record checks on their employees.
If other providers don’t measure up, why not contact the insured, approved, accredited, and DBS-checked experts here at PNP Electrical Services?
