Areas Of Expertise: Switches, Outlets, Fixtures
"Frank did exceptional work. We have an older home with some complicated wiring and had a long list of jobs for him, from installing new sockets to replacing fans. Frank's work was done well, he left the work areas as clean as he found them, and made excellent use of the time. My husband and I are certain he did in five hours what would take us at least two weekends. We'll be hiring Lights & Switches again."

"We had called about an outlet in the garage being out. Upon arrival he got right to work and identified the outlet did not have power. We discussed potential locations of the upstream problem. He went into the attic and walked down all of the lines to identify the culprit. After checking dozens of outlets and switches, he finally figured out a faulty GFCI switch on the other end of the house was the culprit. He worked his butt off chasing down the point of failure and ended up fixing several bad outlets we didn't even know about. He quickly cleaned up after himself and was gone without a trace (besides the repaired outlet). Would use again 10/10"

"Dominic is very personable, prompt, conscientious, and efficient. He cleaned everything up and hauled away the old fixtures. He even accommodated my crazy schedule. I would highly recommend this business!"
Harry M. in December 2021
Areas Of Expertise: Panel Upgrades
"I highy recommend this company and this is not something I take lightly. The circumstances of this project were extremely stressful for me because the electrical work was for a pending sale of a house in St. Louis and I live in Orlando, Florida. As the Trustee of the property it was my job to ensure the electrical work was completed on time for inspections and met all critical dates. Thus, hiring the right Electrician was critical to the sucessful sale of the home. The main electrical work invloved was the replacement of an old Federal Pacific Electrical Panel with a new panel and an upgrade in amps. All the electrical work passed inspection. Felix is professional, courteous, and accommodating. Every time I called him, he answered the phone, which is important when you live 1600 miles away and need to be able to trust that the work is being done in a timely fashion. Despite the short notice as well as adding to the initial scope of the job, Felix consistently remained determined to meet every deadline and be there during the electrical inspections as I could not. The additional work involved making all necessary receptacles GFCI protected and installing smoke alarms throughout the house. Again, I can not stress enough, how happy I am that I hired this company. The outcome was sucessful !!"

"When we hired Brian and his team to remodel our house, we were so pleasantly surprised at the quality of workmanship, professional attitude, and level of work ethic. They showed up everyday, on time, & didn't quit until the job was done. He painted the interior of our home, fixed & painted all of our doors, ripped out old flooring & installed new flooring, installed new baseboards along with other smaller projects. They are able to handle everything. It is so great walking into our home now. There isn't any project they can't handle. Prior to this remodel, they power-washed the outside of our home, fixed some damage to our siding, and fixed a leak in our roof. They also replaced some drywall in our foyer that was damaged by a leak. Brian's entire team worked so hard and offered very valuable advice when I wasn't sure what direction to go. I'm already working on another list of projects for them. I can't recommend them enough.Their prices are extremely reasonable. They can do it all, I promise!"

Find the Best Electrician in Your Area
Receive support from an electrical specialist in Saint Louis by putting down your zip code in the search tool to start your search. Explain the size and scope of the project, and see the estimates and reviews to shrink your search for the best electricians in your area.
Choose a pro using guidance from reviews written by previous customers near you. Consider the experiences your neighbors had before you hire.
Get Electrical Installation and Maintenance Estimates
Ask for quotes from several electrical contractors in Saint Louis. Costs can vary due to the parts used, house size, and demand for the specific contractor.
If you've picked a local pro who offers the services you need, the company should provide a written invoice of the costs including labor and parts. 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.
