How to use this resource
Record only what you already know or have noticed. Do not touch wiring, remove a cover, reset equipment, or recreate a condition to complete the workbook. Identify affected areas, fixtures or equipment in everyday language, gather prior records, and ask each electrician to explain the proposed assessment, shutdowns, work boundaries, materials, openings, restoration, testing and handoff.
Open the PDF in a form-capable viewer, save a copy, then fill it in. Reopen your saved copy to check your answers. You can also print the blank pages and write by hand. Your answers are not submitted to PickYourPro.ai.

Questions to ask an electrician
- What provider-led assessment is included, and what written findings will I receive?
- Which rooms, fixtures, equipment or work areas are included or excluded?
- What shutdowns, access, occupancy or property-management coordination do you anticipate?
- What materials, openings, patching, restoration and cleanup are included or assigned elsewhere?
- How will changed findings or added work be documented and approved before it proceeds?
- What testing, labels, records, walkthrough and written warranty terms complete the handoff?
Write down the answers and any exclusions. If two proposals describe different work, clarify the difference before comparing their totals. Leave unanswered points blank until the professional confirms them.
