"He called me back almost immediately. He was clear and gave details for his work estimate and held to it when the work was completed. He went out of his way to advise the best products for my ceiling fan repair. My job was very small and he could have brushed it off but he was on time and spent time on the repair as well as explaining to me how to maintain the light fixture. I thought he was great and would definitly contact him again."

"I was overwhelmed by the response ServiceMagic was able to provide. By 8:30 the next morning, ALL three companies ServiceMagic recommended called me!!! All three companies quoted me competition service rates to fix my furnace and one (Arendosh) worked with me around MY work hours. The Technician was knowledgeable, professional, efficient and used name brand replacement parts. Compared to the success I was having trying to call around to furnace repair companies on my own, this experience was not only pleasurable, it was AMAZING."

"Professionalism all the way. From scheduling with Miranda, to letting me know when Ryan (Electrician) would arrive and her follow up after the job was done to assure my satisfaction with the work, added the personal touch to their business. Great Customer Service!! As for Ryan, the licensed Electrician, he was professional, explained everything and completed the job efficiently and aesthetically pleasing. I needed a GFI for my irrigation system. It was originally housed in a rotted cabinet on the side of the house. He removed the old and installed a GFI switch and hung the irrigation mechanism and made it look pleasing. He also informed me that my circuit board was Very Old and suggested i replace the breakers. Funny thing, i had a list of things to check inside the house after he was done. When we entered the home after he replaced the circuit breakers, all the things (fans, lights, etc) that had not been working....were all on and working. Thanks Ryan! I feel safe in my home thanks to Ryan. It is very comforting knowing that a knowledgeable Licensed Electrician assures that your home is safe! Wonderful electrician and reasonably priced! I Highly Recommend Mauser Electric for your electrical needs. I have plans to use him again to have a few new lines installed for outside lights. And of course, for any other incidentals that may arise in years to come. I am glad to have hooked up with such a Professional Electrician! Great Company!!"

"I got a prompt return phone call and set up a time/date for an estimate. I had several small jobs (install fixtures, outlets, and a repair) as well as the installation of landscape lighting. The work was scheduled for later that week and the electrician came on time. The landscape lighting was a fairly large job and was completed in two days. The other small jobs were done as well. I'm very pleased with the quality of the work. Everything was done perfectly, in an amazingly short time from first inquiry to completion. I own a number of rental properties and will call Prodigy for work on my apartment buildings."

"We just want to say thank you for the beyond amazing service that we received from office staff and even more the gentleman that installed our new water softener system with reverse osmosis, uv light and a tankless hot water heater . Mike and Forest where amazing, knowledgeable and kind. Mike helped move some things around in the basement because I didnâ t have it done in time. They are a great team and work really well with each other. We had made them sweet Italian sausage for lunch. We noticed a water leak after they left l. Mike was so amazing and drove from Albany to fix it for us on his way home for the night. I had some chili cooking and gave him some. Mike even cleaned the water of the basement floor. Way more above and beyond than he needed too. Truly amazing. My family would like to say that Mike and Forest are a rare kind of people who just care and will go above and beyond for the people they help to have a better quality of life. We had moved in to take care of our nanny and her water system was no longer working and a week before the install the hot water heater went after 30 years. We recently updated appliances and we needed to protect our investment from the hard water. We absolutely love the reverse osmosis and are drinking the water so much we run out of drinking water lol. We will eventually upgrade to a dual holding tank for drinking water. For now we can make due with what we have. We were spending about $150 sometimes more in water a month for cooking and drinking purposes now we will see the savings in roughly 6 years just for not buying water anymore. With the tankless hot water heater it is too soon to see the savings yet we have a propane system living in the country and we are trying to reduce electric consumption. Gas is cheaper than electric for the usage we have we estimate that we will save around $80 additionally per month with the tankless hot water system. With that added into the equation we estimate about 4.5 years and we will have our return on our initial investment. Our next project will be a generator from this company. We lose electricity a few times a year and with nannyâ s health itâ s not acceptable in todayâ s society. Again thank you Mike and Forest the office ladyâ s weâ re very helpful on this process with us as well."

"Great experience. They tiled my bath and installed new fixtures. Also did interior doors. The tile work is beautiful, Mike is quite the artist. Good communication, started and finished on time with no cost overruns. My bathroom is gorgeous! They ended up doing my neighbors bathroom too and they're very happy with it. Very reasonable and honest pricing and a pleasure to do business with."

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.
