I've had an electrician in Ripponlea for the last ten years. He's a good guy, always on time, professional and quite good at what he does. But I always worry about smoke damage and ceiling fans too. Any good plumber will know how to deal with theses two problems.
It is surprising how many people have been struck by the notion that all plumbing work must be done by a professional plumber. We've all been in homes where the electrician has been called in to fix things - faulty washing systems, leaky faucets, plugged toilets and so on. Sometimes we were glad they had a professional plumber with them as we didn't have the time or expertise to find the problem ourselves. Yet that same week we were shocked when we found out that our new ceiling fans were not actually fitted correctly and would not run correctly. We had been sent by our local plumber to our smoke alarm installation site in Melbourne to have the problem fixed and it was a surprise to learn that the faulty units had been fitted incorrectly by one of our ceiling fans dealers in Ripponlea.
This story highlights the fact that the smoke alarm installation and electrician in Ripponlea are different than most electrical services you may currently use. In Victoria (not New South Wales as we'd already discovered), you only need to have a 'B' level license to undertake this type of work. This license is recognized by the state government as being adequate for working in the residential environment. So when it comes to smoke alarm installations and electrician in Ripponlea, don't make the mistake of assuming that you can just hire anyone from the phone book who has a B-level license!
An electrician in Ripponlea may also come into the job unlicensed if he or she hasn't done any apprenticeship work in the relevant field. Plumbing is an incredibly important skill that most people don't want to mess with if they are not qualified to carry out plumbing work. However, if you do decide to get someone else in to do the plumbing work for you, make sure that you choose a plumber that has at least a 2 year diploma or at least some qualifications from an approved plumbing training provider. It's essential that you check the background of your chosen plumber to ensure that they are completely qualified and up to date with the latest developments within the plumbing trade. You should also ask for their evidence of previous plumbing work experience.
There are a number of things to look out for when choosing plumbers and electricians in Ripponlea. Firstly, how many years have been working in this field? Are the technicians licensed and do they carry out their own tests to ensure that they are completely safe and competent? Are the technicians bonded and insured? All of these matters are extremely important to know and can help you make a more informed decision on which plumber to employ.
You should ask any potential electrician in Ripponlea to be licensed and insured. This is the law and should be adhered to by anyone wishing to provide electrical work in Ripponlea. Some electricians will claim to be licensed but may not be so licensed and insured and should be avoided. Always ask for paperwork relating to their previous insurance claims and trades within the trades industry.
If you are hiring a plumber in Ripponlea make sure that he or she is fully insured and licensed. Any reputable electrician will keep all of their insurance documents in a safe place and will show them to any potential clients. Do you research and ensure that the electrician or his company has taken and passed an approved electrician's examination.
Many electricians operating in Ripponlea also provide home services, as many people now choose to live in an integrated home. In such cases it is possible that the plumber providing services might not be familiar with some parts of a new build. A qualified and experienced plumber will be familiar with all aspects of any new build. A licensed electrician in Ripponlea will also be able to give you advice about the gas fitting and other systems in your home. He or she may even be able to recommend a gas fitting company in your area.
