After you have engaged the electrical repair contractor you will prepare for their arrival. Have parking available for the service vehicle. If this is a night-time visit, turn on your exterior lights.

The electrician will need unobstructed access to the electrical service panel and the locations in the home where repairs may need to be made. You may need to remove small furniture, ornaments, and clutter too. The service technician will usually assist in moving larger items and furniture if that becomes necessary to access work areas.

Keep young children and pets away from the work area.
