When hiring a contractor, it's important to ask: "Are your technicians paid on commission?" At Gloudeman Electric, we’re proud to be a non-commission-based electrician, meaning our team is focused on quality work—not upselling. While commission-based pay isn’t always a red flag, many homeowners don’t realize it can lead to pressure sales. We believe in honest service, transparent pricing, and doing what’s right for your home—not what boosts a sales quota.

Not sure if the person you're hiring is actually qualified to do electrical work? You're not alone — and it's something every homeowner should know. In this post, we break down which licenses truly matter, how to look someone up through the LLR, and why insurance and proper certification are essential for your protection.

Not every electrical hiccup means you need to call an electrician. In this post, we’ll walk you through three common electrical issues homeowners can usually solve themselves — safely. From vacuums tripping arc fault breakers to GFCI resets and breaker box labeling, these tips can save you time and money.
