5 Questions to Ask Before Hiring an Electrician

Hiring someone to work on your home's wiring is one job where a little upfront diligence really matters. Here's what's worth checking before you agree to anything.

1. Are they verified?

On GigsDex, look for the "GigsDex Verified Professional" badge on their profile — it means their identity has already been checked by our admin team.

2. How many years have they been doing this specific trade?

Experience years are shown right on every GigsDex profile. It's a fair starting point, especially combined with the next question.

3. Can they show you real past work?

A professional's portfolio on GigsDex can include photos and short videos of completed jobs — ask them to walk you through a couple that are similar to what you need done.

4. What do their reviews actually say?

Don't just look at the star rating — read a few of the written reviews. GigsDex reviews are moderated before they go live, so what you're reading has already been checked.

5. Do they cover your area?

Every profile lists the cities a professional actually serves. Confirming this upfront avoids a wasted conversation.

Once you're comfortable, the rest is simple — call or WhatsApp them directly from their profile and arrange the work.
