You would expect that an appliance repair company would do background checks on an applicant before hiring them. After all, customers invite these employees into their homes, and often times it’s on their first meeting. But surprisingly, unlike Elyria, Ohio’s Expert Appliance Solutions, many appliance repair companies act irresponsibly and don’t inquire into a potential hire’s background.

It’s not as if background checks are prohibitively expensive. They cost as little as $20 and can cover county, state, and national criminal databases. Furthermore, because we live in the age of the Internet, most background checks can be done in under a week.

It’s also important to be sure that a potential hire is properly licensed within the state. Though Ohio does not license general contractors, it does offer certification in the areas of electrical, HVAC, hydronic, plumbing, and refrigeration. Companies need to make sure that someone who claims to hold a license is in fact telling the truth. This is not only to be sure that the applicant is honest, but employers must also be confident that a potential employee can adequately do the work.

When choosing an appliance repair service, be sure to ask if the company conducts background checks and if the contractors are licensed. If you live in Lorain, Medina, or Western Cuyahoga counties, you should call Expert Appliance Solutions for appliance repair and installation. Their employees are trusted, professional, and experienced.
