Good Question: Affordable Electrician on the Westside?

Hello AT,
I am looking for a good electrician on the Westside. I recently bought the Foscarini Caboche pendant light and Omer Arbel's Bocci Pendant Series 14.5. These were definitely a splurge for me, and though I need a good electrician I can trust to install these babies, I don't have much money left over, if you know what I mean.

Hey Lala--Oh boy do we know what you mean. We're happy to hear you splurged to get the pieces you really wanted. We're in the same boat, still procrastinating on getting the hallway wired up (thank god for the Cure!). This is definitely an area that I don't diy (or dim).

So LA, what electrician do you recommend?

Hi ,

Thanks for writing such an interesting article. It’s really good to know about the real estate and electrician in detail. It may not be something you think of when things are running smoothly, but the truth is at some point in the life of your home, you’re going to need an electrician. The electric power that runs our homes with such convenience is a necessary part of our everyday lives. Many homeowners may have enough knowledge and experience to tackle the smaller jobs such as repairing a wall switch or installing a new light or ceiling fan. Others have a healthy fear of anything that involves electricity and any repairs or upgrades, no matter how minor are best left in the capable hands of a reliable Los Angeles electrician.

Finding an electrician shouldn’t be difficult. Locating the one that you believe is right for your project might not be quite as easy. If an electrician is in possession of a state license you can at least assume he working legally within the trade. When talking with Los Angeles electrician, ask to see a copy of his license. Call the local state contractors licensing board to verify any electrician’s license. You’ll also want proof of liability insurance and workers comp for the electrician and any employees and make certain all documents are up to date.

Thanks,
