Ensuring Safety During Home Repair Service Calls
When you've scheduled a visit from a home repair professional to fix an appliance, safety should be a priority. Even if the technician comes recommended by a friend or the company where you purchased the item, they remain a stranger. Here are some steps to ensure your safety when a repairman visits your home.
1. Request a Physical Description
If the repairman is sent by the manufacturer or store, ask for a description beforehand.
2. Verify Photo Identification
Before allowing entry, request to see their photo ID. If they cannot provide it, do not let them in.
3. Supervise the Visit
Don't let the repairman wander unsupervised. Stay with them throughout their visit.
4. Keep Your Phone Handy
Carry your phone in case you need to contact authorities or others quickly.
5. Inform a Neighbor
Let a neighbor know about the scheduled visit so they can assist if necessary.
6. Secure Valuables
Put away jewelry, laptops, and cash to prevent any temptation or mishaps.
7. Request a Receipt
Ensure you receive a written or printed receipt once the job is completed.
8. Report Issues
If you encounter any unprofessional behavior, contact the company immediately.
9. Check for Tools
Before the repairman leaves, confirm that they have all their tools to avoid unnecessary return visits.
10. Lock Up Afterward
Ensure your door is locked immediately after the repairman leaves.
It’s important to hire a reliable and professional individual, ideally someone from the appliance’s manufacturer or a reputable repair company. Experienced repairmen are often familiar with a wide range of appliances and can perform effective repairs?"especially when dealing with complex issues like electrical wiring.
While DIY repairs might save money initially, hiring a professional can be more economical in the long term by preventing major issues with timely minor repairs. Always take necessary precautions before allowing entry to ensure a safe and successful service call.
