Something happened. You are not exactly sure what, but suddenly you find yourself without any power. Maybe you heard a distinct unfamiliar sizzling noise from somewhere behind a wall and a faint odor of smoke lingering in the air after all the lights died.
You figure that there is a blown fuse in the box in the basement but you are, and rightfully so, a little leery of simply replacing it. They told you when you bought the place that the wiring was old and would likely need to be replaced but that didn't deter you, since it trimmed thousands from the asking price. Now, here it is three years later, and you regret not having had the wiring looked at sooner.
Clearly, you now need an electrician as soon as possible. You suspect it might be a big job too.
Still, this is not the time to press the panic button and let the unanticipated nature of the scenario cloud your better judgment.
Hiring the right electrician is going to be important. A sound, well-informed choice of contractor will be an important first step to resolving the problem. While a hasty, impulsive decision could very well add to it.
So, how do you choose the right contractor?
## Be prepared to take the time to make an educated decision.
Just because you have guests coming over in a few hours, or a freezer full of meat you don't want to lose, should not influence your resolve to make the right choice. Call your guests and let them know the situation. Ask your neighbors if you they have space in their freezers. The more you rush your choice of contractors the more you are trusting to luck.
## Know what you expect before you start to look.
Obviously, you can't know everything about how to fix the problem (if you did you wouldn't need to hire someone) but you should know what to expect from the person you plan on hiring:
- They should be a licensed electrical contractor. (That is an absolute necessity)
- They should be willing to give you a written estimate before they start work
- They should be capable of giving you a definite and acceptable start date
- They ought to provide guarantees on their work
## Go online and find the best.
These days there is absolutely no need to limit yourself to simply relying on the Yellow Pages. Use the internet (if you are entirely without power, go somewhere where you can go online) and do some quick local searches for example "Electrician North providence" or "Rhode Island Electricians" or "Electrical Service RI". You will get a great deal more information from a website than you could ever hope to from a Yellow Pages ad. Look at the top ranking sites and really go over their claims and credentials
## Trust your gut.
There is no need to over-think things, but by the same token, if you are speaking with a possible electrician or contractor and there's anything about the conversation that rubs you the wrong way, or makes you feel uncomfortable, simply move on.
If you are looking for a reliable, qualified electrician, North Providence has both individual contractors and companies from which to choose. If you have taken the time to make the right choice then you can certainly breathe a lot easier knowing that your electrical problem will be resolved rapidly, effectively, and fairly.
