Comment: My garbage disposal seems to have stopped getting power. The outlet that is on the same breaker is not working. I flipped the breaker a couple of times but it did not fix it.

"Marco installed a outlet inside my garage quickly and efficiently within one day of calling him. He also rerouted a hanging wire that was strung over the exposed beams in the garage and the work was done neatly and looked great. The outlet was also a surge type outlet and was directly in the spot I needed. His communication was excellent and he was a nice person to work with. I would highly recommend him!"

"Peter was exceptional! Honestly, working with Peter was the first positive experience I've had since moving from out of state. I contacted him on a Saturday morning to ask him to complete work THAT DAY. No one else with whom I had spoken agreed to to do the work same day. Peter agreed and arrived at my house within a few hours. When he arrived, we realized I didn't have the parts necessary for the job. He ran to home depot to pick up everything we needed. During the install, he encountered every challenge imaginable (the company where I bought the pendant lights I had him hanging failed to include pieces or to mark the wires, etc). The project ended up taking 8 hours, keeping Peter here until 11pm! He never once acted frustrated or annoyed. He was meticulous. He treated the home as his own. He refused to settle for less than perfect. He did a beautiful job. I am eager to use him again for many more projects!"

"Jason was very courteous to my family, including my very curious young sons who wanted to "help" him. The repair ended up requiring two visits due to needing to replace more parts than initially expected. Jason was prompt for each visit and made sure to call ahead each time to let us know that he was on his way from the last job. Unfortunately I was unable to be at the house for either visit so Jason called me at the end of each day to update me on what he had done and to share some maintenance advice with me. Overall I feel comfortable that Jason returned my generator back to good working order and he did it without requiring me to load it into my car and bring it to him. The charge for the service call was worth it to us to not have to worry about where we were going to take it and how we were going to get it there."

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.
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 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.
