    "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."

    "I hired Nathan for a 600 square foot room addition. His quote was on the lower side of the spectrum and I did extensive due diligence. The results were great so I hired him. Whenever I called he answered the phone. He was respectful and professional. A number of promises were extended throughout the job and he fulfilled every one of them on the timeline promised. Every decision that I made he checked with me enough times to insure my desired was achieved. When it was not he did it over again. There were a number of changes and as long as it did not require a lot of extra time there were no additional charges. When I asked for extensive extras to be done his charges were more than fair. His work was top notch and clean. Obviously, I cannot say enough about how impressed I am with Nathan and his crew. Yesterday he and a helper spent the whole day doing a job running 100 feet of wire, hooking up five fountains with timers, two more times to control two more lighting systems, installation of three dimmers inside my house, and troubleshooting two 12. Volt landscape lights. The quote from another contractor for just the wires and fountains was $2,000. Nathan did the whole job for $700! I am 67 years old and have managed many projects overs the years for myself and others. Hands down it doesnâ t get any better than Nathan. And to top it off he has a great sense of humor."

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.

    Comment: 4-plex apartments in Huntington Beach, CA. A couple of months ago my circuit breaker in my laundry room went off and i had to flip it back on. My water heater that services all 4 units and my clothes dryer is connected to the same circuit. Today, June 19th, it went off but when I flipped it back on it does not work. If I play with it, "on, then off", it flickered. I plugged the water heater in an outlet shared by my clothes washer. The clothes dryer I'm leaving disconnected. This problem did not occur until my tenants started using the clothes dryer more often. I'm wondering if the combination of the clothes dryer and the 199,000 BTU hot water heater are overloading the circuit.

    Comment: I have a motion sensor light above my garage. Recently it just stays on 24/7. It’s not connected to any light switch so I can’t turn it off. I need to have it repaired so it will only turn on when motion is detected. If there’s a way to hook it up to an existing light switch, I’d be interested in finding out the cost for that as well.

    Comment: My current 100 amp electrical main service panel is working fine and has no issues at all. The only minor thing is it uses up all the slots for the breakers; so, there is no more space left for additional breakers if one is needed. Therefore, I am looking for an estimated quote upgrading it to a 200 amp electrical main service panel. Thank you.
