"Iâ  m lucky to have found Emanuel, with Zarcoâ  s Electrical through Angi list. We just moved to the neighborhood a few months ago and needed some electrical work done. We were a bit skeptical using someone new but Emanuel was great and professional from the moment we spoke. We made an appointment and he was very punctual. He understood very quickly what we needed, and also corrected some incorrect wiring issues. He got the punch list jobs done expeditiously and charged fairly. Also, we really appreciated the recommendation on installing a porch light security camera for increased security. We love it! Thank you for caring enough to educate us. Emanuel is now our familyâ  s electrician and we will definitely use him for all our electrical needs! "

"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! "

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.
