Electrical contractors tend to be more stable than high-churn categories such as restaurants, but firms still open, close, merge, and change phone numbers. Our US business data is refreshed quarterly, Canada data is refreshed annually, and we estimate roughly 90% accuracy on business records. Ask about refresh timing before buying a large contractor file, whoever you buy it from.
