"12 years ago it cost me $75 to have an AC outlet replaced. This repair cost me the price of a service call ($85) because I had the parts available to install. Replacing the Ballast on a floresent fixture is not rocket science but standing on a ladder to remove/replace and strip 8 wires and make the reconnection requires coordination and balance. The Tech made quick and professional work of the job, then cleaned up the site. Very pleased. He even changed my bulbs so I didn't have to do it later. Thanks Jay"

"I am very pleased with this company and recommend their services to everyone. I have approached them for various electrical upgrades including main panel replacement, adding several ceiling lights, and re-works for my home in Phoenix, also month later I ended up hiring them for the installation of a standby whole home generator that runs on natural gas. They offered me good financing program. Very happy with all the work. Itâ s one of those companies that they absolutely want to make sure you are satisfied with the work. Price was good too. You should check them out."

"Chargepoint + EV charger installed. Industrial conduit that was so level and smooth looking curved perfectly. This job was totally a pain, but they made it look easy, and I know it was not. 50 amp breaker that they already brought with them. (They know what they are doing!) Correct wiring ran in correct shielding conduit everywhere. Electrical Box's and Plugs as I needed to do the job was already brought by Car Charging Pros. Perfect Level 2 fast ChargePoint Home Flex Electric Vehicle (EV)-Charger - NEMA 6-50 Plug Perfect Level 2 fast ChargePoint Home Flex Electric Vehicle (EV)-Charger - NEMA 14-50 Plug I did not want the ChargePoint Home 25 if I am investing this much in an electric car then I want the best. I have used ChargePoint already at work (have to pay for it there) So, I have already known about an account and how it gives you status without being right next to a car. You can shut off charge using the phone App. The ChargePoint NEMA they installed now charges faster than the work Chargepoint's that I am used to. This was not known in the beginning that they were able to do more than I ever expected! You will get your moneys worth from Car Charging Pros! Last note that nobody had ever said was how much does it cost to charge using your home power. My car charged soon as they finished. It charged for 1 hour and cost .20 cents! This was the normal high peak hour time costs. P.S. Chargepoint has all this kWh rate data automatic where you're installed and with your power provider, so it shows just like a gas pump on the app as it charges. It is not a separate bill or that, but it is just neat I know exactly what charging cost is. You can set it to charge only at the super cheap nighttime rates, yes, Chargepoint already knows what schedule is the super cheap with your power provider. Effortless setup that looks spectacular with super professional Industrial look."

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.
