Why Credentials Matter: Is Your Electrician Licensed and Insured?
Before anything else, verify that the contractor holds a valid licence to work in Calgary. Professional certification isn’t just a formality; it’s your assurance that the electrician has met provincial standards for training, safety, and competency. Insurance is just as crucial. Liability and workers’ compensation coverage protect you if an accident occurs on your property.
Fluorescent Man Lighting & Electrical is fully licensed and insured, offering peace of mind with every project we undertake.
1. What Experience Do They Have With Similar Projects?
Not all electricians specialize in the same type of work. If you’re a business owner needing commercial signage, or a homeowner wanting a complete lighting redesign, you’ll want someone with specific experience in those areas. Ask for examples of past projects and client testimonials.
Our team has completed everything from retail lighting installations to large-scale re-lamping projects and custom LED upgrades. With over 25 years of experience in Calgary, we’ve seen and handled it all.
2. What Safety Measures Do They Follow?
Safety should never be an afterthought in electrical work. Ask about the contractor’s adherence to current building codes and Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) standards. Professional electricians will never cut corners when it comes to compliance and proper procedure.
At Fluorescent Man Lighting & Electrical, we stay up to date with all provincial regulations and conduct thorough on-site risk assessments before every job. Your safety is our top priority.
3. What Kind of Equipment and Materials Will They Use?
Quality tools and materials aren’t optional, they’re essential. An experienced contractor should be using up-to-date diagnostic tools, reliable brands, and high-efficiency lighting or electrical components when needed.
We use only high-quality materials and lighting products from trusted manufacturers to ensure durability, efficiency, and compliance. Whether you need energy-efficient fixtures or emergency lighting, we’ve got the tools and know-how to get it done right.
4. Can They Provide a Transparent Estimate and Timeline?
Avoid surprises by requesting a clear breakdown of costs and timelines. A trustworthy contractor will explain what’s included in the quote, outline potential delays, and offer guidance without upselling unnecessary services.
Fluorescent Man Lighting & Electrical believes in honest, upfront pricing. We offer detailed quotes that help you plan with confidence, and we’re committed to completing every job on time and on budget.
