"We hired this company to install lighting around all of our landscaping, uplighting for the house and focus trees, security protection lighting, accent lighting for our fire-pit and overhead bistro lighting above our patio area. Everything looks excellent, is high quality and I love it! The bistro lights are sensational!!! ...and all of the lighting makes a tremendous difference in the look and feel of the house. We now spend a lot more time outdoors socially. Phil Williams was great to work with: honest, trustworthy, hard-working, talented and customer oriented."

"Alberto S. is a gem. He upgraded my electrical panel, replaced a number of light fixtures in the ceiling, and did all the electrics in my remodeled kitchen, which involved installing some new lights, providing service to all the new appliances, and creating a number of counter outlets. Alberto is punctual, good-natured, entirely reliable, and he responds quickly to texts and questions. I will be reaching out to him again the next time I need an electrician. I recommend him highly."

"Very responsive business and communicated every step of the way. From what he diagnosed I had a bad wire in the ceiling of the garage that shut my breaker off and wouldnรข t reset. I had no lights or plugs in the basement for days as I tried to figure it out myself. He came in and was easily able to diagnose, fix, and get it all back up minus the one plug that relies on the one dead wire. Iรข ll be putting that in since Iรข m taking my ceiling down anyways. He has all the experience needed and professionalism a master electrician is. Definitely will hire again and will recommend to anyone who needs an electrician."

"Nate at Anchor Electric Motor is knowledgeable, polite, and quick to answer service calls. It is clear Anchor is in business to help people and not just make money. I had some concerns about a portable generator and Nate was able to address each concern quickly and professionally. I would definitely use Anchor again and would recommend this company to anyone."

"I had 8 outside fixtures that had been put in without electrical boxes - just holes in the siding with wires coming through. I wanted to replace the fixtures but could not without the boxes. AWT put the boxes in and replaced the fixtures, all for a very reasonable price."

"I hired Wes to install data and voice wiring terminated at patch panels for my new business. The project was in a very old building which presented challenges for the other vendors who quoted on the job, but not for Wes. He knew exactly what to do and the finished project is neat, orderly and very professional. In addition, Wes provides 5+ Star customer service and great value for the services performed. You can't go wrong with Wave Sound and Security, highly recommended."

"Very professional and timely. He was really good at identifying any problems and suggesting fixes for them. Also very patient with all my questions and explaining the process. He installed a bathroom vent fan, a recessed light in the bathroom, and lights over my bathroom vanity. He also ran wires from the panel box to one of my bedrooms and installed more outlets as the room only had one. Helped me get an outlet for a garbage disposal and microwave over my stove. All done within a couple days as we completed other work."

"I have used Supreme Electric for a variety of electrical services for over 2 years รข replacing outlets to support new wall A/C units, replacing a damaged outlet, replacing a light fixture, upgrading my circuit panel and most recently installing a bathroom ventilation fan another electrician said could not be done. I was also provided assistance finding a carpenter to vent the fan out of my attic and I am considering future installation of a generator. Michael is always pleasant, professional and respectful and the quality of work is excellent. He explains exactly what is needed, prices are reasonable, he communicates clearly and promptly as work is being planned and he is always on time for scheduled work. I highly recommend Supreme Electric. It is always a pleasure to work with Michael and I personally will only be using Supreme Electric for any future electrical work I need to have done. Thank you Michael!!"

Frequently asked questions
- An electricianโs cost per hour comes in between $50 and $100. Itโll 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 youโll pay a higher rate for the first hour. This covers their travel and time expense. Emergency or after-hours rates are usually higher too โ 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 isnโt 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 isnโt a terrible thing, in fact itโs common practice. The Masterโs 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 canโt be on time, make sure theyโll call.
1. Donโt Be Misled by an Electricianโs 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 itโs 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, youโll 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 donโt have time for additional requests once they are on site.
- Make sure the electrical panel box is accessible. Youโll 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.
- Youโll lose power to parts of your home while they work. Be prepared to pause anything youโre doing during the service call.
- In most cases youโll have the option to either pay at the time of service or have a bill sent to you. Youโll 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.
