Licensed Electrical Contractors In Your Area

There are numerous reasons you may need the services of a skilled electrician. If you've built an addition, need upgrade outlets to include USB ports, or are looking to upgrade your electrical panel, you should get quotes from several experts to ensure the job is done safely, correctly, and for a good price. On the other hand, if you're seeing problems like flickering lights and circuits tripping frequently or you have no power to something critical like an appliance, you should find an electrician near you who can quickly get started on repairs.

In addition to being able to respond quickly in many cases, electricians familiar with the homes in your neighborhood may be able to offer advice to avoid future issues. For example, they may know that homes in your area were built at a time when households drew less power so you should upgrade your circuit breaker panel. Or they may recommend whole house surge protectors if surges are common in your area.

No matter the reason you need an electrician, here are some questions to ask before you hire.

  • Do you have a license?
  • Are you bonded and/or insured?
  • Do you offer a warranty?
  • How much will I pay for the project(s)?
  • Will you be doing the work or someone else?
  • Will you pull all necessary permits?

When comparing contractors, be sure to ask about their specialties, especially if you need help with a larger project like installing power in an addition or a commercial building or upgrading old knob and tube wiring.

"When it was determined that it was problem with the electrical box they weren't going to charge anything. They did say I could give a tip if I wanted. And of course I did."

--5.0 star review from a homeowner in Morgan Hill CA


"I believe it is this companys policy to give a high and low price range. I don't know if it is a bait and switch situation. I paid the highest price and felt a little bit taken. I liked the electrician however. Somehow don't feel this is the way he would operate if he were on his own. He was on very punctual. Received advance notice of the visit. Some of this is probably my fault for not knowing anything about electical issues. "

"John solved an electrical problem with my dryer that three previous electricians couldn't figure out. He also installed a lamp fixture and did the work quickly and carefully and at an extremely reasonable price. Not only would I ask John to come back for any other electrical needs I may have, I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an honest, diligent and experienced electrician."
