How to Assess Service Providers: Credentials, Reviews, and References

Despite having a detailed scope and pricing, you must confirm the contractor's qualifications and reliability. Verify they possess a valid Alberta electrical license and carry valid insurance and Workers' Compensation Board protection. Inquire about who's responsible for Electrical permits; the contractor must pull permits and book necessary inspections. Be sure to check trade qualifications, apprenticeship credentials, and equipment certifications for installed systems.

Execute safety verifications: ask for a clean safety record, COR/SECOR status, and safety incident records. Review past projects involving similar voltage, load, and occupancy category. Analyze references - contact them - and discuss code compliance, inspection success rates, change-order control, and punch-list completion. Review online ratings for quality of work, on-time completion, and cleanup. Demand written procedures for lockout/tagout, arc-flash labeling, and final project documentation before awarding the contract.
