    "Nicholas goes above and beyond the basic requirements for the job and in providing customer service. We are in process of selling our home and needed electrical work to bring the house up to code. Nicolas was very sensitive to our urgency to complete the job timely and affordably. The old wiring turned out to be much more problematic than Nick scheduled but he stayed with the job until it was complete with no extra charge. He even repaired the drywall and cleaned the floors . We wish we could take him with us to our new location"

    "We called Chesapeake Electric after-hours for an emergency service. We smelled burning plastic(which is SO scary!) and were fearing the worst. Darius Tabrizi arrived within 2hrs of me calling Chesapeake Electric and our whole experience with him was amazing. He found the source of the smell, gave our breaker a thorough overview, and presented us with repairs that could be made to bring our home up to code. We are first-time homeowners and knew our home would need serious repairs, particularly with electrical work, and we are so confident that Chesapeake Electric(and Darius) will be our go-to service providers! Darius was so professional, calm, and confident that he could fix our emergency problem(and he did!) and bring our home up to code. We had an amazing experience and I would recommend them to anyone else who needs electrical work done. He showed us everything he saw and explained what needed to be done - super helpful for us. Highly recommend!!"

    "The first time I used this company was for an electrical issue; my fan would not connect with my switch and my outlets were not working. The gentleman that arrived, arrived on time and was very knowledgeable. He worked neatly, quickly and quietly. The price was more than reasonable for the work. I was very satisfied. Since then Iâ ve used Powerworks every time, for big and small projects, i.e electrical panel work for my multi-Unit building, installing a charging station for my e-car, working with my solar panelsâ I wouldnâ t use any other company. Powerworks also has a rapid response rate. Iâ m always recommending this company to my friends and family."

    "Fletcher Electrical Services delivered an exceptional experience, and their meticulous attention to detail sets them apart from the rest. I sought quotes from four companies, all within $150 of each other, but Fletcher stood out immediately. While others relied on photos to assess the space, Kyle took the time to visit in person. This personalized approach gave me confidence from the start. During our meeting, we had an in-depth discussion about my expectations and their process, and within an hour, I received a detailed and transparent quote. What truly impressed me was their precision and care. Andy, for instance, didn’t just take measurements—he carefully checked and double-checked every detail. This level of professionalism and dedication is rare to find. Fletcher Electrical Services exceeded my expectations every step of the way, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. If you’re looking for reliable, professional, and detail-oriented electrical work, I highly recommend them."

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.
