The benefits of hiring a NAPIT certified electrician like us

What is a NAPIT certificate?

When it comes to electrical work, whether it is installation, maintenance or repair, the significance of professional certification cannot be understated. NAPIT, the National Association of Professional Inspectors and Testers, represents one of the top-tier endorsements in the electrical industry. By hiring a NAPIT certified electrician, you are ensuring that the professional working on your property adheres to the highest standards of safety and competence.

A NAPIT certification signals that an electrician has undergone rigorous assessment and continuous professional development, guaranteeing they are up to date with the latest industry standards and technologies. It is your assurance that they have met high professional and safety standards, without the jargon.

How to check an electrician is NAPIT certified

Here is a simple checklist to confirm you are hiring a genuine, qualified professional:

  • Ask for proof of certification: a legitimate NAPIT certified electrician can provide a certificate or membership number, so do not hesitate to ask upfront.
  • Check the NAPIT website: use the online register at napit.org.uk to verify membership by name, company or membership number.
  • Verify the scope: NAPIT certifies electricians for different types of work, so make sure their certification covers the service you need, such as installation, inspection or testing.
  • Look for the NAPIT logo: certified electricians often display it on their vehicles, uniforms and marketing, but always confirm their status online too.
  • Check it is current: certifications need periodic renewal, so make sure theirs has not expired.
