Electricians Look up

Recent research into the state of the industry revealed that electrical contractors and electricians are optimistic about their businesses for the future and they are looking forward positively at the coming months.

Almost three quarters of those taking part in the survey admitted that the recession and difficult economic climate had impacted on their businesses, but two thirds said they were very optimistic about their prospects for 2013.

One of the reasons for this optimism is revealed as being energy efficiency. Contractors have revealed that almost half of all their customers and clients are now requesting energy saving devices and energy saving lighting solutions along with other services.

It seems that the public are now more in tune with energy efficiency than ever and with Government schemes such as Green Deal now well underway, electricians are finding that their business prospects are looking up.

However, a smaller percentage of those surveyed revealed that the biggest problem they find is clients and customers paying their bills late.

So although the market is looking up for the electrical industry, late payers are still a concern.
