"We have used Premium Home Service about six months prior to requesting their service, again. This time, Premium Home Service provided same day service for HVAC repair. After an inspection, Tom recommended a couple of options. We chose to replace the unit. Tom promised the unit would be in place and operational by COB the next day. Sean and Mike arrived early the next day. They took out the old unit and installed the new unit. It snowed on them all afternoon. The snow did not dampen their spirits. By evening they cleaned up and buttoned up the system and the basement. 1. Premium Home Service is honest and fair priced company. 2. Tom, Sean and Mike did everything they told us they would do. 3. We are extremely pleased with their professional skills, their care in working around our house, their attention to detail on the project, and the care for the amount of "stuff" in the basement - which was not damaged by their efforts. 4. They explained what they were going to do and did it. 5. They explained the new system, set up and demonstrated the new thermostat operation and adjustments. 6. They cleaned up everything prior to departing for the day. We will not hesitate to call them again for any future issues. We highly recommend them"

"This was my first experience with Jireh Electric Inc. but won’t be my last. The job I put the request out for was to install two new wall sconces on my family room wall and to add new wall outlet as well as repair two existing outlets. Agripino was very quick to reply to the request and arranged a time for a free estimate that met my schedule. He was very polite, professional and thorough in the evaluation of the work and gave me an estimate on the spot which I felt was fair and reasonable. The work was scheduled at a convenient time for me and the two electricians, Rubin and Ray who showed up to do the work were fantastic. They too were not only very polite but very skilled and work worked extremely well together. They paid close attention to the details of the work and to make sure I was satisfied all along the way. I will definitely be reaching out the Jireh for my next electrical jobs without hesitation."

"Hunter patiently explained how they would assess the cause of blown fuse associated with my dryer. When Jose came he carefully diagnosed how the dryer was drawing electricity and was able to confirm that the fuse rather than the dryer was the source of the problem . Jose replaced the fuse and explained to me how the fuses in the power box work. He was helpfully assisted by Luis and the two are a great team. I appreciated how Jose communicated with Hunter to confirm the diagnostics. I wouldn't hesitate to call upon them again as they competently troubleshooted and addressed the problem at a reasonable price."

Find the Best Electrician in Your Area
Look for a local Fairfax electrician based on your zip code and an explanation of the problem. A list of results specifically for you will be generated instantly. Consider these results to get project estimates from multiple qualified electricians in your area. Simplify the search process.
Read verified reviews from people from your neck of the woods to help find the highest rated electrician. Select a pro your neighbors recommend to know what you're getting before you hire.
Things to Consider Before Hiring an Electrician
Easily find an electrician by considering the top three things to do below:
- Consider the scope of your project, and search for a local electrician with specific experience in that work.
- Compare quotes from multiple pros.
- Read online ratings and customer reviews of prescreened professionals.
A company should be able to provide references and a written estimate prior to signing on with you.
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.
