    "This review is a long time in coming. I had been searching for an affordable electrician to replace a breaker panel that was on its last legs. I called an electrician from a highly rated company to diagnose and perform some emergency repairs. Seems our panel was on borrowed time. Several breakers were burned, cracked and yet another was buzzing in an unpleasant manner. The offending breakers were replaced and the verdict was that the main bus bars were just not providing good electrical contact. I needed a replacement panel. I got an estimate from another person in that company. A lot of discussion took place between the estimator and his company. Photos of the location and service were taken and e-mailed. I was floored by the magnitude of the estimate and the associated re-work that needed to be done to replace the panel and bring it up to code. Everything from an outside service meter mounted above the deck to the water pipes that passed the panel were all offending and needed to be relocated. We were assured that no inspector would sign off on a replacement panel without these accompanying modifications to the house. We followed with a few more word of mouth recommendations and finally reached an impasse when we found someone who would do it on the cheap if we purchased all the supplies. He was honest enough to admit that he was not a licensed electrician. I had used HomeAdvisor in the past and felt it was time to stop Yelping and get someone in who had been screened - qualified, licensed, insured, etc. HomeAdvisor gave us 3 leads. Chris Livingstone (we later connected that sense of humor with the Dead Rock Contracting name) and his helper, Mike quickly responded to our job description request. From the start, Chris listened to our description of the failure mode, what work had been done already, and our concerns about wanting to have this job done with the appropriate permits and final inspection. He was knowledgeable and had a background that enabled him to make informed decisions on what was required and what was fine if the job was a swap out panel replacement. He thoroughly checked our electric service meter, panel, and water lines. He gave us an estimate with our choice of two top name brand panels. When he said the whole house surge suppressor was included, not an option, I was completely surprised. That suppressor was a $350 option on our first quote. We asked for the panel brand, suppressor and building permit and inspection to be included on the contract. He seemed a tad amused and put it in writing. We were really impressed. So, we started with our wish list. We wanted to replace our dead front post lamp. No problem, do you want to save some labor cost and dig the 18" trench ourselves (yes, and he would run the wires inside of conduit). We have a dead roof mounted ventilator. Can you replace that too? "Sure, do you want to pick out your own fan or should I?" Wow, flat rate install prices as options. We loved it. A week lat"

    "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."

    "I closed the deal with Julian on late Tuesday night and the team was able to do the installation the next morning! Jesse gave me the details on the team as the ink was drying. They arrived on time first thing in the morning. Dan, Cal and Greg were a great team that stayed active all day. Seriously over 12 hours! They installed a new Hot water heater and an 18 Seer Lennox Heat Pump with Honeywell Humidifier and Honeywell Home Thermostats. My 17 year old system was tightly packed into the basement. I think the basement was built around it. They replaced everything...ducts, hoses, fuses boxes, wires and pipes. Everything was insulated and finally brought to code with new sensors and alarms. After working all day, they ended the evening cleaning up and taking me through the system in great detail. It has only been a couple hours but everything is running great. I talked to several vendors when making my choice. I liked several of them and they dealt with my silly process. Julian was very thorough with his pitch. He told me about the factors that differentiates them from the others. I believe I made a great choice. Merry Christmas!"

    "I searched Home Advisor late Saturday night looking for a plumber, not expecting to hear back until Monday. I received a phone call within minutes from Johno, apologizing for the lateness of the hour, but acknowledging that when you have a plumbing problem, you may need immediate assistance. I appreciated his call and mannerly way of speaking to me very much. We arranged for him to come by and assess our problems the next afternoon. There were several: a leak under the kitchen sink, leaking pipes in the basement, and a leaking shower diverter. After discussion of several options, along with pricing, we decided to replace all relevant pipes, and have Johno repair the other leaks. They arrived the next day, on time, giving me a call before arriving to let me know they were on their way, and they came prepared with all necessary equipment. Johno's team, himself and Alex, were both very polite, very professional, and knowledgeable about how best to fix our problems. They finished the job within 3 hours, and we were very grateful, as we had previously hired a contractor who promised big and way under-delivered--still had the same problems as before after two days of working to fix all. There was also a kitchen pull-down faucet that had sprung a leak. He gave me estimates on replacing it with a much better unit, and also offered to find the part we needed to fix the existing one. He took a picture of it, looked it up in the catalog, and texted me all the pertinent information -- part number, warranty, etc., and offered to install it for a small charge. I ordered the part, it came within two days, and the next day he came back to install it. I am very impressed with this young man's work ethic, his willingness to find alternatives that may be less expensive, give his best professional advice, arrive on time, complete the job sooner than expected, come back for a small job again immediately, and most importantly, do a first rate plumbing job. We have found a reliable plumber that we will certainly call on again as needed. He's a Keeper!"

    "I sent the request to Home Advisor on a Sunday night. The company called me Monday morning & scheduled a TV mounting the same day. The company was professional and knowledgable about the installation of large flat screen TV. The installation was very tricky & not your average install. It was on a brick fireplace that had been covered with carpentry. Very good job & I would definitely recommend their services. Their pricing was extremely fair and better that B&ST Buy."

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.
