"I needed to replace my bathrooms light fixtures, install three ceiling fans with wall-mounted controls, install a track lighting, install recessed lights with dimmer switches, and relocate my cable wall jack. He came out to my place, measured and diagramed everything. His quote was the best out of the four quotes I received. He went above and beyond, and did a great job. Professional service. I will use him again. I highly recommend him."

"Matt Conde, the owner, scheduled me as soon as possible; even tried to fit my repair in at 9PM! I preferred to go with the following morning - he arrived on schedule and since I am quarantined, stayed on the phone with me while he was outside, fixing my inoperable fan. Matt kept me apprised of all necessary repairs, helped me to reset the thermostat, and completed payment and digital receipt all over the phone. The rates are competitive with the 'specials' I receive in the mail, but the service is top-quality attention to detail. Conde Tech absolutely has my business and I recommend them to anyone who needs trustworthy service."

"Edwin was fast in providing me an estimate for the work and easily accommodated the dates I needed. Pedro did a wonderful job on the installation of three light pendants and a ceiling fan. Finished product is better than I had envisioned. Pedro worked diligently and cleanly on my project. I would definitely hire Edwin and Crew again."

"Hunter patiently explained how they would assess the cause of blown fuse associated with my dryer. When Jose came he carefully diagnosed how the dryer was drawing electricity and was able to confirm that the fuse rather than the dryer was the source of the problem . Jose replaced the fuse and explained to me how the fuses in the power box work. He was helpfully assisted by Luis and the two are a great team. I appreciated how Jose communicated with Hunter to confirm the diagnostics. I wouldn't hesitate to call upon them again as they competently troubleshooted and addressed the problem at a reasonable price."

"Very professional and courteous service from the team at Viva Group! Chris was a pleasure to work with scheduling and Rich the electrician provide master level installation of a 40amp plug in our garage for a electric vehicle charging station. This was not an easy job as our breaker panels are in the basement. I would highly recommend this company."

"Ariel Claros replaced our old power panel with a new 200 am Square D QO panel. He did an outstanding job for a very competitive price. He obtained a permit and passed the inspection without any issues or complains. He worked very professionally, addressed all our questions and requests. He also left the sight clean from any debris. We are very pleased with his work and will be hiring him for our next project. We also will be referring him to our friend as we trust the quality of his work and professionalism. Highly recommended."

"I just built my house a year ago and needed to add an EV charger to my garage. Trish called me within an hour and set up an appointment for Hugo to come out the next day. There were two additional parts to the job I needed done as well, and one of them was a bit more expensive than I was expecting... but honestly, I had no idea how much to expect for the third part of the job so I can't blame them at all. There was no pressure at all to complete the more expensive portion of the job when I told them I'd have to pass on it at the time. The actual job was scheduled for the following week, and Tommy and Kevin showed up on time and were done in less than 3 hours. They gave me a few recommendations for drywall repair as well since there were three small holes that needed cut to run the new circuit for the EV charger. Highly recommended... Hugo & Kevin were extremely knowledgeable and helpful with all questions from a new homeowner like myself."

"Mr. Raufi responded quickly to my request, doing a thorough inspection of the issues with my breaker panel and providing a fair quote to replace it, repair and paint the drywall... He was prompt, courteous, and professional in completing the work, as was his team member who did the drywall work. The job was quickly approved by the County inspector and I've not had any issues since."

Gave good advice on fixtures saving me money and I have high quality. They really go above and beyond what you would expect. As a few things popped up during the project they added those in without a problem. I highly recommend."

"I had a great experience from the initial call I received from Said to the follow-up call when the work was done. Said came over to see what, where and how I want the tvs to be installed before I hired free of charge. He provided recommendations, and he priced the work cheaper than most competitors. We agreed on the day of the installation, and Said called an hour early to let me know the technician was on his way to prep the areas before the TVs were delivered. The technician was very nice, very professional, very customer service oriented. He listened to my needs and wants, and proceeded. Said joined him and stayed with him all the way through the work. They were attentive, and very professional. The technician ensured the place was clean and vaccumed after he completed the work. What I like was the follow-up call from Said asking if everything has met my expectation and to call him if there is anything I need. Overall 5/5 from beginning to end. Great Job Said! Way to run a business. I will be calling when I am ready to add another TV."

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 ArrivesFairfax Electricians are rated 4.9 out of 5 based on 945 reviews of 945 pros.
