"The electricians came to my office to give my an estimate on changing my office light fixtures from fluorescent to LED. They were able to start the job immediately after that which I appreciated. They provided good advice regarding the fixtures. They ran into a few complications during the installation that took them longer than expected; but they solved the problems and didnâ t charge me more than the original estimate. They were courteous and cleaned up after the installation, too. I would recommend this company to others."

"Brady came out to my house to change the location of my dining room chandelier, and to install a new light fixture. I was worried it would take a long time and would involve a lot of work to put in new lines, but Brady was able to use the existing wires to move it to the new location! I was very impressed with his knowledge and his work looked so great once finished. He helped me figure out what length to put the chandelier at because I was going back and forth between two lengths. I would love to hire Brady again to come back to my house for electrical work."

"I was the first appt of the day. They were extremely prompt. My techs Rudy and Justin were great. My one new fixture didnâ t come with all of the screws and Rudy was great about it. He had the installation removed from my quote since they would have to come back when I replaced it. He and Justin were extremely courteous and professional."

"They came to give the estimate when promised, then followed up with discussions of how to reduce the costs. In the end, they did a first-class installation at the promised price, then came back to fix a small problem that may not have been their fault. Would hire them again in a minute."

"I had Fast Electric Service install 4 ceiling fans in my home. The team was polite and professional throughout the engagement. They kept me informed of their progress and items that may be a concern (base of fan was smaller than old light fixture so some discoloration on the ceiling in one room) as they proceeded. They worked quickly (2.5 hours as I recall) but with a high degree of quality. All the fans are very well balanced without any wobble even on high speeds. They are all wired the same so the light is on the outside switch and the fan on the inside switch in all four rooms. I have absolutely no complaints or suggestions for improvement they did a fantastic job and I'd recommend them for an electrical projects you may have in your home. Great team, great service, and very reasonable price."

"Knowledgeable, professional, courteous. Prices were reasonable and included a warranty. Crew was on time and worked very well together. First, as noted by another reviewer, I got a very quick response and job estimate. I needed to wait almost 2 weeks to schedule and John was able to accommodate me. This was hassle-free and professional - thank you for that! The crew installed an outdoor electrical outlet, an outside motion light, 2 light fixtures (dining area and kitchen bar/counter), and 8 ceiling wafer lights with dimmers (including cutting into the ceiling and working in the attic for wiring). They listened to my needs and worked with me to place the ceiling lights where I could accomplish the lighting I wanted without adding under cabinet lights, saving me money! John sent an entire crew to ensure the job was completed in a timely manner. They were neat as they worked and cleaned up after themselves. They also seemed to enjoy their work and they actively pulled from each others' expertise or specialty. Everyone wore a mask without having to be asked and no one talked politics - thank you for that! A fabulous experience and we will definitely call Bear Electrical Services when we need electrical services in the future. Thanks to all."

"Mr. Jim Gorman who is the owner of the business called me back within a half hour of my email posting. He visited my home 3 days later, inspected things, and told me what the approximate cost would be. He and his helper then installed an entire lightning protection system on both my house and a back garage/storage area. He did things exactly as I wanted in every way. Also threw in a free weathervane which increased the beauty of my home. I would have no objection to recommending this gentleman and his company to anyone who is in need of a competently installed lightning protection system for their home/property. MID-AMERICA LIGHTNING RODS is one fine company run by a man who cares about doing good work according to the latest safety codes etc. Having lost my previous retirement home to lightning, it was very important to me to get this job done and quickly because the thunderstorm season is upon us and with the climate change, those storms are very wicked, especially here out in the country where i live!"

"John Sherlock and his wife Corrine called within 1/2 hour of looking for Lightning Rod installers. He was available and was over to talk with us within one hour. He sent all his credentials and licenses and insurance coverages of his business and they came over the next morning and completed the installation extremely fast. He gave a fantastic offer, and lifetime warranty coverage and will even come over and take down system when we replace the roof and place back up at no charge! His wife even saw some plants we had not put in the garden still sitting in containers, and offered and planted them in the spaces we wanted, just to help out. Very friendly, helpful, professional, extremely knowledgeable and even suggested adding Lakeland Electrics Surge Protector protection they provide to go along with the Lightning rods. Yes would have them again on any home anytime."

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.
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 ArrivesCary Electricians are rated 4.9 out of 5 based on 1341 reviews of 1341 pros.
