    "I typically don’t write reviews but, I’m compelled to write about Victor and his business. He’s so incredibly talented, professional and honest. We live in an older house in Tenafly. It needed A LOT of electrical work, both inside and outside the house. All the lights outside of the house including flood lights and the decorative lights (he actually went and selected the fixtures – it was perfect for the house) needed to be fixed or replaced. He replaced multiple timers and showed us how to work them. In the past, we had asked more than one electrician from large, well-established firms to take a look at them and they couldn’t resolve the problem. The vanity lights in the bathroom wasn’t working – I had purchased another one assuming it had to be replaced but he figured it out and saved us money. There were numerous fixtures and lights that weren’t working and he fixed them ALL! Thank you Victor!!! Exceeded all expectations,"

    "Junior, Elvis and Renee worked tirelessly over a day and a half to run Ethernet, hdmi and optical cables through my garage and up into my attic, ceiling mount one television in my living room and wall mount a second television in my bedroom along with installing a closet light. These guys know their stuff, do not up charge and are courteous, polite and pleasurable to be around. I whole heartedly recommend them for a theatre job and their prices are fair as well. Thanks guys. You can see their handy work on their Instagram page"

    "Brian was extremely professional. He called ahead, and arrived on time for the scheduled estimate walk-thru. He took notes for each of the different fixtures I wanted added in each location, and reviewed them with me at the end of the meeting. He got back to me in less than a week with a fair estimate for the complete job. We hired him for the work, and he scheduled the appointment within two weeks of the initial meeting. He arrived on time the day of the appointment, and had all the equipment and tools needed for the job. My job site needed a little bit of everything, exterior flood lights on the soffits, a new circuit for the bedroom AC, and a new install of a hanging pendant chandelier. Brian and his assistant did all the work in less than 6 hours and were true to their original estimate with no surprises or overages. Brian did a walk-thru with me at the end of the job, and the quality of the work was flawless. I had spoken with two other contractors for the same work and they were unresponsive and difficult to coordinate with. I gave Brian 5 stars across the board because there were no shenanigans, he was prompt, accessible and very professional. I would not hesitate to recommend Brian and his company for any electrical work in the future."

    "Greg the owner of Papa Grieves is an amazing, incredibly honest and dependable pool expert. He came to my house on Friday to repair my propane heater. The heater needed 2 parts and Greg only had 1 of the required parts on his truck. He called me, explained what needed to be done and that he would come back on Saturday to finish the job. Greg said that although the heater had a great deal of rust, he could fix it so that it would work for the remainder of the season. He did NOT try to see me a new heater, but I asked him what a new heater would cost. The price he quoted me was 20% less than what my current pool company, that did not return my call about my heater not working gave me at the beginning of the season. I asked him if he could install the new heater on Saturday, because I was having a big party on Sunday and he said the heater was in stock and that he could do the job the next day. Saturday morning the rain was coming down in buckets and I did not expect Greg to show up. But to my shock and amazement, at 10 AM the Papa Grieves Pool truck pulled into my driveway. In the pouring rain Greg and his assistant Raul removed the old heater and installed the new one. They performed all of this work without asking for a deposit or credit card for security. The heater works great. PARTY SAVED!!!!! That you Papa Grieves!!!!!"

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.
