"Mike the owner was very forthcoming and honest with the inspection of my old 100 amp service panel. Mike gave me the fairest price for replacement and install for parts and labor. To give fair comparison and perspective from my point of view, I’ll just say that you should shop around and get estimates from as many as you can! I had several estimates for my new electrical panel they ranged from $3300 quote from Mr.Sparky Electric to the lowest of $1387 from Florida Power Electric LLC! It’s evident to see I chose Florida Power, not only was the work performed on time as promised, they quality of the work was excellent! I couldn’t be any happier for the cleanliness and efficiency in which they worked. Thank you to Mike and his main Electrician!"

"New 16kw backup generator installed 04/23/2020. Stellar customer service!!! Today two technicians arrived at our home not long after I called relative to a possible LP gas leak. Once again they were knowledgeable, courteous and professional. They took time carefully reviewing our newly installed 16kw backup generator and all connections leading thereto. They competed the repair, checked for leaks, ran the unit and cleaned up afterwards. When customers receive service like this, coupled with courteous professional and knowledgeable people, this company is 2nd to none. I can honestly say this company has been a pleasure to do business with and I will certainly recommend to anyone looking for such service. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. David & Angela Ortiz Lehigh Acres, FL."

"After contacting the 3 companies provided by Home Advisor I chose to go with James Townsley and I'm very glad I did. He is very professional and did a great job. There were a few things that needed to be added to the installation, even so my cost remained the same as quoted. He was quick to respond to my emails and phone calls and did the installation on a day that should have been a day off for him to accommodate my strange work schedule. He is very knowledgeable and answered all my questions during the installation. I would and already have recommend him for lightning rod installations."

"I needed diagnostics and repairs of a doorbell that ceased to function after pressure washing of the home; we replaced the bell, but it was still not functional. Brett quickly found and repaired the issue. He also found a problem with the 20 year old surge protector, which was double tapped to the main breaker. He installed a new surge protector and removed it from the main breaker. I did not even know this was a problem, as the home inspector had not discussed it with us when we purchased a year ago. I greatly appreciate that Brett was not only polite and punctual, but that he could make needed recommendations about an unrelated issue that will likely save me a lot of money in the future!"
Emma B. in June 2020
Areas Of Expertise: Lightning Protection
"Its really nice to meet a company that uphold honesty and integrity as their values. This company did an install on my property following a major remodel in 2011 and did a great job at a competitive price. Fast forward to 2019 and I have recently had some of my roof replaced and the roofers removed all the of lightning rods! I called John and he came straight out exactly when he had promised. We own a large property and it would have been easy for him to charge me for a full replacement system but instead John explained that it was a pretty easy fix and the charged me very little to take care of my problem. John also walked the other buildings and checked all OK while he was there. Folks , This guy is old school honest and in today's world that's a rare commodity. Overall a great business I would highly recommend. Thank you John"

Electrician Average Hourly Rate
Smaller services can be completed more quickly and without using as many supplies. Swapping out an old electrical panel could cost around $1,200. For more accurate costs, ring an electrician in Saint Petersburg.
Get Electrical Installation and Maintenance Estimates
Estimates for electrical-related services will differ from electrician to electrician. Request a quote to get costs. It all depends on the contractor's individual price and the scope of the repair.
The next step in the hiring process is to get a written estimate that encompasses all charges. The electrician you hire should stick to this price unless it's discussed with you first.
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.
