"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."

"I was very please with my electrician. He's very knowledgeable about his profession and the code. He was able to corrected my default and pointed out some exception created by my previous contractor. I will bring him back in another couple of weeks to fix that problem. I would highly recommend Value Electrical Construction, Inc. to others."

"Fred was very communicative and flexible in helping me, my landlord and my fellow tenants work out the solution for adding a new 220V circuit and isolating some of my circuitry from the panel in my neighboring tenants office!. After understanding a relatively complex set of issues quickly he provided a fair estimate and proceeded with the job to fit the schedule of my neighbors to avoid interrupting their service by working on a Saturday. Fred arrived fully equipped and was able to finish the job in one day to my specifications and well done! Amber Electric Service is my new go to electrician. I am very pleased! "

"Over the years I have restored and upgraded five different homes on two continents (USA and Europe.) Odinson Electric are by far the best, most creative, and most professional electricians I have ever worked with. They found creative solutions to completely re-wire my 1920s-era house, completely replacing the old knob-and tube wiring and old circuit breaker box, without destroying the charm and ambience of the home. The conduits that are visible down in my garage are so well thought out and beautifully installed that it is almost a work of art. Emilio (the owner) and the company have been very responsive to last-minute changes and additions. Every new wire and cable in the house was labeled so that any follow-on work in the future will be easy. The electricians themselves were very professional in their demeanor and very trustworthy. The price was very reasonable and competitive. If I ever have another electrical project, I will not even bother to get other estimates. I will not hesitate to hire Odinson Electric again. I know this review probably sounds over the top, but you just do not find contractors of this quality very often, and I cannot say enough good about them."

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.
