    "Project was done on time, good customer service, quality work. Michael was our electrician and he took care of several tasks for us - installed a chandelier in a 20 ft ceiling, installed two outside light fixtures, disconnected our old spa, and installed the electrical box and fixture for a front porch light. The latter task was much more of a challenge than expected due to the inexplicable presence of 6 stacked 2x4's in the wall right where the light was to be installed. Michael drilled through them to run the wire with minimal damage to the wall, and did a rough patch for us when he was done. And he still honored the original estimate even with the extra work. I'd definitely hire them again."

    "We’ve hired Quinn for several projects at both my grandma’s house and mine, and I can’t recommend him enough. He responded to my initial request immediately and was able to come out the very next day. His prices are reasonable, and he’s extremely upfront about costs—he always lets me know if something will be time-consuming and gives me the option to move forward or not. No surprises. He’s done a ton of work for us: fixing lights, installing new lighting and ceiling fans, adjusting switches so we could add charging ports, replacing bathroom fans and fire alarms, helping us hide our Frame TV boxes and cables, and even installing a motorized charging port in our kitchen island. He’s given us free quotes for future projects. On top of doing great work, he’s genuinely a nice guy. He drives all the way from Corona to Orange, always shows up when he says he will, and is easy to talk to while he’s here working. It’s rare to find someone this honest, reliable, and skilled. Highly recommend."

    "I recently had Narek install a Tesla wall connector in my garage in Los Angeles, and I could 't be happier with the service I received. Narek was not only professional and knowledgeable, but he also got the permit required for the installation very quickly. He arrived on time and took the time to explain the installation process and answer any questions I had. The installation itself was done quickly and efficiently, and Narek made sure to clean up after himself once the job was complete. He also took the time to show me how to use the wall connector and ensure that it was working properly before he left. Overall, I would highly recommend Narek to anyone looking to install a Tesla wall connector. His professionalism, attention to detail, and expertise made the process easy and stress-free, and I am thrilled to now have a reliable and efficient way to charge my electric vehicle at home."

All my concerns were addressed and the job was done in a reasonable amount of time. Also, well worth the money - I would have paid double! I would recommend Done Right to all my friends and family.

The chargers were connected to the network independently via a SIM card, and we have not encountered any issues so far."

    "Bill with Precision Remodeling was great to work with, very pleasant and informative, willing to answer all questions and concerns, and stayed on top of the project from start to finish. He and his team did a great job at an extremely competitive price. I would and have recommended Precision Remodeling to friends and family, and they have had similar experiences and good quality installations without issues. For context, my project was a new solar panel installation, higher amp electrical panel installation, and electric car charging outlets. The job was done perfectly."

    "He actually replaced an entry light fixture with a new fixture and fixed the switch for my garbage disposal, but you did not have an "other" above so I just chose something close for residential. He worked with me to find a time and date, kept me updated about his arrival time, and finished everything quickly. My light fixture is beautiful."

    "I needed some fixtures installed on pre-wired light boxes, install 4 recessed lights to match, and 2 kitchen island pendants. I contacted several companies and Joe's is the one that was least fuzzy, most straightforward to talk to and least expensive quote. Others gave me ridiculously pricey quotes and told me the job would like more than a day which I felt was unreasonable since majority of the installation are pre-wired lights! Joe's quote was so reasonable that I was concerned about quality but I took a chance and SO HAPPY that I did!!! Joe sent a 2-man crew, they were extremely careful and efficient. They measured over and over again before drilling for the recessed lights and island pendants. Not only did they did a wonderful job, they completed all the work in 6 hours, didn't open any extra walls for me to patch (other companies all told me they would), and they cleaned up throughly after... even sprayed my kitchen island down and wiped it for me! I'm extremely satisfied with the quality work and professionalism. I highly recommended Joe's Electric!"

Jose created Cat 6A cables with jacks and keystones. A very professional job. I will use his services again and pass his name off to others that want to get this type work done. I added some pictures of his work."

    "I needed a Lucid 80A charging station installed. I couldn't find any electrician with this experience and some even balked due to the perceived technical difficulty. I spoke with Erik and shared my requirement, and he stated that it wouldn't be a problem. Erik not only installed the charger in short order (at a fair price), he also submitted the permit request with the City of Irvine and scheduled the City inspection This type of service is unheard of. I haven't even spoken about how easy he is to work with and how he professionally communicates. He listened to my needs and met everyone one of them. I will know use Erik for all my electrical needs. Thank you Erik!"

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.
