    "The quality of their work is to notch. I've dealt with other "professionals " in the past that were not nearly as professional. They arrived on time, that's very important to me. They very knowledgeable and conscientious about the work they do. It turns out that builder of my home had cut some corners, and luckily for me, they found and fixed a problem I didn't know I had. When they found the problem, the supply store had closed but they were here the next day (a Saturday), to make sure that the correction was made Overall I am very satisfied and I would definitely recommend to family and friends."

    "Moises and his crew were excellent. They were clean did not leave a mess at all. Moses talked and explained everything to me. He took pictures to show the work he had done. This was an emergency situation, my roof was leaking very badly. Moses & his crew came and inspected what needed to be done, he saw how nervous & upset I was and he assure me not to worry. WELL let me say when the job was completed and it did not take long, my tears of worry & being nervous turned into Tears of relief and joy. There is so much more to say about my wonderful experience with Moses & his crew. Like the fact that he kept in touch with me, because I had to work that day. And they were very kind, polite and professional. ****** I highly recommend Moses & his crew to everyone from the person who knows how to do their own work to the person who knows nothing about fixing anything. Because maybe you can do your own handy work, But ! you just don't have the time: you can Call Moses or maybe you don't know how to repair anything; you can Call Moses or how about being tired of waiting on that friend/relative to fix/repair that whatever it is, Just call Moses, he & his crew will resolve your issues. Needless to say they are now my Go-To for ALL my repairs ,installs and fixings. I'm very satisfied and it feels good to say " I can call my Handyman to repair that""

When to Call an Electrician

Never tinker with the electrical wiring of your home. Keep clear of a potentially harmful situation by hiring a professional electrician.

Find an electrician near you, and let the pros do the work for you.

Hourly Rate of an Electrician

Costs associated with electrical services could come out around $150 to $4,000 depending on the project. Simple maintenance won't strain your budget. Installing a new electrical panel might cost around $1,200. Brooklyn electricians will have different pricing information, however.

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:

For cost information related to the above tasks, visit our Electrical Cost Guide.

  1. 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.
  2. Do you have insurance?
    Never use one who isn’t insured. You can ask to see proof of insurance.
  3. 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.
  4. What are your rates?
    Always ask up front. Getting a detailed quote up front is the best way to go.
  5. 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.
  6. Is your work warrantied or guaranteed?
    Any reputable company or contractor warranties their work, usually for at least a year.
  7. 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.

1. Don’t Be Misled by an Electrician’s Hourly Rates

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 Charges

Rates 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 Together

When 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.
5. Install Money-Saving Electrical Fixtures
  • 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.
