"Walter and his co-worker installed an outlet in our garage for an electric car. We received a quick response phone call to our request .

"Jose Cosio exceeded my expectations in the job of installing the network jacks I requested as well as installing two Access Points and data jacks for a printer and one data jack in the garage. Jose created Cat 6A cables with jacks and keystones. A very professional job. I will use his services again and pass his name off to others that want to get this type work done.

"Daniel and his colleague did a great job! Initially, they installed lighting fixtures, but then I decided to install recessed lighting instead. Before he returned to do another job, we discussed the kinds of fixtures and placement. His follow up and communication was great throughout. He completed the job and I was extremely satisfied with how it turned out. Am thinking of other jobs he can do! UPDATE 4/10/2019: This is the third time that I have hired Daniel. He is always the consummate professional. Very easy to work with. Will deliver exactly as promised and does excellent work. In addition to installing 6 recessed lights, he moved and installed a fan and replaced another fan in a different room."

"I have hired Carlos twice now for projects in my condo. The first time he was recommended by my realtor and my friend hired him to replace a panel in his condo. He was very pleased and said he was honest which is true. Carlos gave me two quotes for two different jobs. I needed to phase them so that it would fit in my budget. His quotes were very reasonable so I hired him for phase one which was to replace my kitchen and bathroom lights from fluorescents to recessed lighting. Not only did he do the install be he also did the drywall to patch the wholes. What licensed electrician would ever do that!? I hired him again for Phase two which was to install a ceiling fan, replace and reposition an existing ceiling fan and install a new overhead light in the spare room. Again, as promised he also did the patch work. I also had him replace me switches to more modern ones. Carlos is responsive, accommodating, knowledgeable and on time. I plan on hiring him in the future for more projects. I highly recommend him."

"I needed to up grade a fixture in my kitchen from a track light to mini flush mounted LED recessed lights. They required a transformer and two other Electricians not only could not figure out the parts needed but could only do the job with the wiring on the wall instead of inside. Tony and Tony figures it out, went to get the necessary parts and are doing an excellent job for a fraction of the price quoted by the know- nothing guys. I am a happy camper"

"Ignacio and his son including his nephew came in to install 2 separate circuit breakers, one for my furnace and one for the washer and dryer. I have had issues with my recessed lights in the kitchen flickering when other appliances were being used including the furnace. I was worried that I might be overloading the system causing a possible fire hazard. I called for a quote from Ignacio and he came in the next day and diagnosed the problem right away. He was very accommodating and responsive to all my concerns and even told him that I can’t do weekdays and so he said he will make an exception and did the work on a Saturday. They did an awesome job and made sure everything are cleaned up before they left. His son even fixed a hole close to my outdoor faucet with the foam sealant when I requested him to do it for me. Others would have said, that’s not part of my job. I already scheduled them for another work that I need inside my garage. They will be my go to electric company from now on."

Frequently asked questions
- An electrician’s cost per hour comes in between $50 and $100. It’ll vary depending on your location and the type or professional you hire. Areas with a higher cost of living can expect to pay on the higher end of that scale. Licensing level may also increase the price.
- Usually you’ll pay a higher rate for the first hour. This covers their travel and time expense. Emergency or after-hours rates are usually higher too – expect to pay an emergency fee of up to $300 plus a higher hourly rate.
Electricians do a fair amount of larger remodeling and new construction projects but also common residential projects including:
- Installing a light fixture or chandelier
- Installing a ceiling fan
- Adding an outlet
- Updating or replacing a circuit breaker
- Installing or updating an electrical panel
- Adding outdoor lighting and other electrical features
For cost information related to the above tasks, visit our Electrical Cost Guide.
- Do you have a license to perform electrical work in this state?
All states require an electrical license or work performed under a Master Electrician. You should also ask how many on the job hours of experience they have. - Do you have insurance?
Never use one who isn’t insured. You can ask to see proof of insurance. - Do you have prior work references?
You might skip this for small jobs like installing a light or outlet. For larger projects, always get references. - What are your rates?
Always ask up front. Getting a detailed quote up front is the best way to go. - Who is going to do the actual work?
Often, a Master Electrician will come out to diagnose and bid on projects, but they have their apprentice and journeyman electricians do the work. This isn’t a terrible thing, in fact it’s common practice. The Master’s license is on the line with any work he supervises. - Is your work warrantied or guaranteed?
Any reputable company or contractor warranties their work, usually for at least a year. - Are you usually on time?
Overbooking is a frequent problem with electrical work. Often, a service call goes long, and they end up showing up at your home late. This common complaint is easily remedied with an up-front and honest discussion. If they can’t be on time, make sure they’ll call.
A truly skilled, well-equipped professional with a truck full of parts that charges $100 an hour can be a much wiser choice than an inexperienced hack, working with inadequate tools and no parts, but charging much less. Often, more experienced professionals get the job done quickly with warrantied work.
2. Compare Travel ChargesRates reflect travel times. Travel charges can have a big impact on your costs and are in some ways easier to compare than hourly rates. Many electricians spend a third or more of their time navigating traffic on their way to a jobsite. Every contractor must find a way to pay for the expense of driving each day.
3. Bundle Repair Jobs TogetherWhen you feel it’s time to call a pro, review your list and then conduct a mini-inspection of your home. Look for faulty switches and dysfunctional or crowded outlets. When the electrician comes, you’ll save money and time by getting everything taken care of at once.
4. How to Prepare & What to Know Before the Electrician Arrives- Be as thorough and detailed in describing your needs to your contractor. The more they know, the quicker the job will go.
- Before they arrive, prepare a precise list of items you want serviced. Electricians have budgeted their time for a service call. They don’t have time for additional requests once they are on site.
- Make sure the electrical panel box is accessible. You’ll pay for the time it takes to access it.
- Clear away fragile items, knickknacks and furniture from areas where you expect the them to work.
- If you have questions about the project, ask them before they start. Most are happy to run you through the problem and the process of fixing it.
- Ask about potential issues after the work is complete. During a service call a professional will spot any potential hazards.
- You’ll lose power to parts of your home while they work. Be prepared to pause anything you’re doing during the service call.
- In most cases you’ll have the option to either pay at the time of service or have a bill sent to you. You’ll be able to pay with cash, credit and sometimes check.
- By switching from ordinary incandescent light fixtures or bulbs to fluorescent or LED ones, you can substantially reduce energy consumption in your home.
- Motion detector switches can help you save money on outdoor lighting while at the same time providing very cost-effective security to your home.
- Creative landscape lighting and indoor accent lighting can make your home more appealing to you, your guests and potential buyers in the future.
