How to choose an Electrician

The most important rule is to find one that understands the difference between 240VAC and 110VAC. I just got a call from a customer who informs me that the "cheap" electrician they hired to do some work on rewiring a new boiler wound up putting 240 VAC onto several lightng circuits and the one for the building's fire alarm system. That "carefully packaged blue smoke" was very quickly released. They're now on "fire watch" until Monday. While this will give them opportunity to replace a whole bunch of light bulbs with CFL's in the hallways, I happened to mention that a number of their emergency light packs and exits are also on lighting circuits. Now I'm waiting to hear back on how many we're going to have to replace... Sigh!!!
