How to Pick an Electrical Contractor for Your Strata Management

When you are faced with selecting an electrician for work on your strata’s operation, it is important to make your selection based on the level of experience, expertise, and professionalism. This is not the time to save money or select an untested source. This is a job that is never really completed. You should expect your electrical contractor to assume a stewardship role and have the task of maintaining the property. Certain standards of compliance need to be legally met.

A master electrician is always a safe bet when contracting at the strata management level. They are usually the most experienced and have a better business sense. This will ensure better over-all service. Strata work requires both a knowledge of advanced systems and a breadth of knowledge. You’ll find that master electricians have a low opinion about sub-standard work. For a master electrician, there is only one way, the best way. There is no room for shoddy work when electricity is involved.

What to Look for in Strata Electrical Services

There are all levels of electricians out there. This is not the time to take a risk. The effects of something going wrong are far-reaching. You need to make sure that the one you select meets the highest levels of professionalism and experience. Make sure that the electrician you choose is licensed and is or is part of a fully registered and recognized business. There is no room for ambiguity, so do not depend on their word, do your research.

Be advised that being licensed does not necessarily mean that they are insured. A strata management job is most likely a high-cost job. The stakes are also higher. It is always advisable to hire an insured contractor.

The Sign of a Good Strata Electrician

Whether the job involves multi-unit lighting upgrades or EV car charger installations, your electrical contractor must take on the responsibility and liability for making sure the job is done correctly. Safety is at stake. Here are the signs that you are working with a highly trained and highly professional electrician:

  • Are they prompt, free of excuses and a clear communicator?
  • Are they available in case of an urgent matter or emergency?
  • Do they bid on a project basis, or by the hour? If they bid on a project basis, this is a sign that they fully understand the scope of the project.
  • And possibly the best sign of a good strata electrician is their reputation. Were their past jobs completed successfully? What do the reviews of their work reveal?
  • As a Strata Manager, You Need to Work with a Company Like Wire-Man Electric

Very friendly, fast and efficient. Charges by time but definitely doesn't waste time. The job was done within 5-10 minutes and everything is working as it should.

Full disclosure - I am Harm's sister but I've decided that it's finally time to leave his company a review. You can see through the 200 + reviews that Harm and his team are reliable. My husband and I have used Wireman for a number of years for various projects. They do great work and leave the site clean. On top of that, Harm is easy to deal with and is honest when providing electrical advice. Keep up the great work!

Harm was extremely professional and committed, persisting to find a solution for our portable power situation. He worked with us to get our portable onto a dedicated electrical service instead of being powered by a gas generator! As a non-profit organization, every penny counts and this will lower our costs and our carbon footprint. Thank you to Harm and your team for a great job!!

Second time using their services because I was impressed by the great service they provided regarding installing my bathroom fan. Ali came this time to fix 2 outlets in my kitchen. After checking both out, it turned out only 1 needed fixing. He explained to me what the issue was and also checked out why 1 outlet that had a smart plug that was not working. Don't call anyone else! This company is the best.
