When a home or commercial building needs electrical work, many owners make the mistake of only getting a single estimate for the job. Getting multiple estimates may take longer than just having one Denver electrician visit the premises, but this extra time could lead to substantial savings and a better quality of workmanship.

There are several important aspects of any project that should be included in an electrical  estimate. Both material costs and labor costs should be specified. Any special fees for work permits or city inspections should also be listed. Sales tax and hazardous material fees should be indicated as well. In addition, the estimate should include a date that the amount is guaranteed through as well as a “not to exceed” price point.  . Any estimate should allow home and business owners to compare the quality of the materials used by different electrical contractors and getting multiple estimates in writing can help property owners compare the hourly labor rates of contractors as well as any other service fees.

This summer is already heating up and it is time to make the best of the warm weather. It is an excellent time to enjoy the outdoors while relaxing alone and with friends. Sitting on your patio is nice, but imagine sitting on your patio in a tub of hot, bubbling water. A hot tub is a luxurious way to unwind after a long, hot day at work. Sitting on your patio in a hot tub and watching the sun go downs is a little slice of heaven, right here on earth. If you are ready have your own hot tub installed, you will need to contact your local Burbank electrician. You can count on the team at The Electric Connection to help you get your new hot tub up and running.

You will want to visit your local hot tub dealership to pick out the perfect one for you. There are various sizes and styles out there. Once you have decided on the hot tub, it is time to call an electrician. Burbank residents will need to determine where the hot tub will be placed. There are a few things you will need to consider before you schedule your installation. Because your new hot tub will need electricity to operate, you will want it somewhat close to your home to avoid the electrician having to dig a long trench through your yard.

Once you have determined where to place the hot tub, it is time to schedule delivery. An electrician will hardwire the hot tub to your home. You will need a new breaker installed to support the 240-volt outlet required to run the hot tub. Depending on the status of your current electric panel, you may need an electric panel upgrade. Your electrician will do a quick inspection and let you know what is needed. Give The Electric Connection a call today and schedule your hot tub installation.
