5 Tips for Hiring an Electrician in Accra

1. Check Their Training and Experience

Before you hire any electrician, ask about their training:

  • Did they complete their training at a technical college or through an apprenticeship?
  • How many years have they been working?
  • What type of work do they do? (home, office, or factory electrical work)

When you book through Bizella, all electricians are already checked, so you don't have to worry.

2. Read Reviews from Other Customers

Look at what other people in Accra say about the electrician:

  • Does he come on time?
  • Does he explain the problem clearly?
  • Does he fix it properly?
  • Are there surprise charges?
  • Does he clean up after the work?

On Bizella, you can see real reviews from customers who already used the electrician.

3. Compare Prices

Prices for electrical work in Accra can be different. Here's what you should expect to pay in 2024:

  • Installing one socket: GHS 100-200
  • Installing ceiling fan: GHS 150-300
  • Rewiring your whole house: GHS 2,000-5,000+ (depends on house size)
  • Electrical check-up: GHS 200-400
  • Emergency call at night: GHS 150-300 (plus the repair cost)

Watch out for:

  • Prices that are too cheap (the person might not do good work)
  • No clear breakdown of costs
  • Asking for all money upfront
  • No written quote

Bizella shows you the price before you book, so no surprises.

4. Ask About After-Service Support

A good electrician should:

  • Explain what caused the problem
  • Tell you how they will fix it
  • Pick your calls if you have questions later
  • Be responsible for the work they do
  • Show you how to avoid the same issue again

5. Make Sure They Can Come for Emergencies

Call an electrician immediately if you see:

  • Smoke or burning smell from sockets

  • Breaker keeps tripping
  • Sockets are hot
  • Lights keep flickering
  • No power at all
