## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "James provides a top notch service! Great communication, friendly and gives great advice for the work that I wanted done. Pricing is reasonable, clear and no hidden surprises. The work was carried out by Jared and he is just as friendly and helpful as James. Laid out protective cover and tidied up after. Excellent team all around. This is the third piece of work I've hired them to do, and highly recommend them to anyone needing electrical work done."
> — Noel (5.0, via NoCowboys)

> "I phoned James regarding what I thought was a tricky power point installation in the laundry, and immediately his can do attitude was most assuring. When Cameron arrived he was the same and immediately was able to explain to me options as to how it could be done. The job was duly completed with excellent results ('magic') and by a top guy. I can't fault JS Electrical, a pleasure to deal with and professional throughout. If I need any more electrical work done I won't hesitate to call them."
> — Ross (5.0, via NoCowboys)

> "Quick response from James to get a quote and arrange a time for the job. The young man, Jacob, who turned up to do the job was professional with great manners and attitude. He re-installed 7 lights and it’s all done within 2 hours. I would definitely use them against in the future."
> — Ruth (5.0, via NoCowboys)

## Before you hire an electrician
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade — general guidance, not a claim about this business:_
- In New Zealand, restricted building work must be carried out or supervised by a Licensed Building Practitioner, and all electrical, plumbing, gasfitting and drainlaying by a licensed tradesperson (EWRB for electricians, PGDB for plumbers and gasfitters) — check the public register before you hire.
- For residential building work of $30,000 or more you are legally entitled to a written contract and a disclosure statement setting out the trader's skills, licences and insurance — ask for both before work starts.
- Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
- Check any credential evidence, and that the business details independently check out.
- Get a written quote and keep guarantee, insurance and payment terms in writing.
