Your Home Deserves the Best—That’s Building Omaha.

The single largest investment you will most likely ever make is purchasing a home. But more than that, it’s your haven, your castle. It’s where your heart is, and there’s no place like it.

Sure, you’re a handy DIYer. You’ll paint your own house and landscape your yard. You’ll even go into weekend warrior mode and tackle the bathroom remodel. Go ahead and regrout your tub, but leave electrical work to the professionals.

And not just any electrician. Trust your home to a Building Omaha electrical professional. Here is the WHY and HOW.

WHY your only choice is Building Omaha:

  1. Protect your home and loved ones: Simply put, when it comes to electrical jobs, too much can go very wrong. Faulty wiring, loose connections, and overloaded circuits build up heat and can lead to electrical fires. Outlets that are not properly grounded and exposed electrical parts, like wires and connectors, are shock hazards that can result in burns or death. Building Omaha electricians have the highest level of education, follow strict safety protocols, and remain current on all the latest best practices within the electrical industry.
  2. Safeguard your financial investment: Don’t entrust your home to an unlicensed, uninsured electrician. Building Omaha electricians are both. With proper licensing comes compliance with state and local electrical codes and the ability to acquire necessary permits and inspection approvals easily. Being fully insured includes general liability and auto insurance as well as workers’ compensation, protecting both homeowners and electricians. Plus, Building Omaha electricians are up to date on code compliance, which is important if you need to file an insurance claim or decide to sell your house.
  3. Select the best trained electricians in the business: In addition to two years of formal classroom education, Building Omaha electricians have also completed three-five years of hands-on apprenticeship experience before they can call themselves journeyman electricians. They stay current with changing safety codes and technology advancements with on-going training.
  4.     Guarantee quality and accountability with warranties: Building Omaha electricians stand by the quality of their work by offering service warranties from one year to a lifetime on top of manufacturing warranties on parts.

 

HOW to hire an electrician:

  1. Ask the right questions: Are you licensed, insured, and bonded? Do you provide written estimates? What is included in your pricing? What type of projects do you work on? Do I need a permit? Do you offer a warranty? What is the estimated completion date? Can you provide references?  Building Omaha electricians can answer all the above to your satisfaction!
  2. Obtain references, consult reviews: Do your homework before hiring an electrician to protect your home investment. Check out reviews on Google, Angi, Yelp, BBB, and local community forums. Verify that projects were completed on time and on budget, that communication was clear, and issues were handled swiftly and satisfactorily. Building Omaha electricians deliver top-quality service from a customer-first approach. As a result, they are highly regarded—and recommended—by their customers.
