Is the electrician licensed?
Alberta trade certification
In Alberta the certificate belongs to the person, not the company: ask for the journeyperson certificate. What Pros We Know checked is the Calgary and Edmonton business licence rolls.
About Alberta trade certificates →What to check whoever you hire
- WCB Alberta clearance. Free to check, no account needed (check it here). Without it, an injury on your property can become your problem.
- Liability insurance. Ask for the certificate, not the promise.
- A written quote that says what is included, what is extra, and when payment is due.
- Someone you know who hired them. That is what Pros We Know is for.
What to ask a electrician before you hire
- What is your ECRA/ESA (or provincial) licence number?
- Will the work be inspected, and who books the inspection?
- Is the panel big enough for what I am adding, or are you quoting an upgrade too?
- Can I see the permit before you start?

Why the pros your people use rank first
Pros We Know is not a review site. There are no star ratings and nothing a business can pay for. When you search, the pros your own contacts have used come first, then the ones people in your network trust, then licence-checked businesses nearby. What you see about a pro is who used them and whether they would rehire, from people you can actually ask.
