    "We hired David to replace multiple ceiling lights that were fluorescent bulbs (we wanted LED lights). David responded to our request for a quote quickly and worked with us to find the best solution for what we wanted. We thought we?d need to replace the entire light can, but David was able to source some LED bulbs for the cans we have. This required going to multiple places and a number of calls to various stores (standard stores do not carry the bulbs, which is why we couldn?t find them), but David was cheerful, efficient, and patient with this process. We got the lights we wanted and a source for ordering more. No can replacement necessary! When David installed our new bulbs, he even tightened one of the cans that had been sagging a bit (not part of the original request). The new lights and great and we are so pleased with the work done. Bonus: we have a one month old baby, and David made sure to let us know when there would be noise so we could move her to a different area if needed. Great experience overall and definitely recommend Turner Electric for projects!"

After understanding a relatively complex set of issues quickly he provided a fair estimate and proceeded with the job to fit the schedule of my neighbors to avoid interrupting their service by working on a Saturday. Fred arrived fully equipped and was able to finish the job in one day to my specifications and well done! Amber Electric Service is my new go to electrician. I am very pleased!"

    "Nery and his team are top notch. They replaced a sub panel in our new townhome, added a 20v breaker and also fixed some outlets that had really bad wiring. The first two tasks were already agreed upon and the 3rd was something they helped out with on a whim thankfully. Nery came multiple times to our Oakland home to provide estimates for different options we were considering. He gave us different ideas and was very professional. They arrived around 11am and were done by a little after 6pm. Their work was very clean and they pay a lot of attention to detail. I highly recommend them and have already shared their information with our entire HOA. I found them on Angi's list and am so glad I did! As first time homeowners, Nery was very reasonable in working with our budget. We can't recommend them enough!"

    "Cesar helped me and my wife with some electrical projects in our 2 homes, apparently we had something called knob and tube and Cesar explained to us the risks of having that type of wiring in our home, he quoted us to replace all of this wiring we agreed on the price and he proceeded to perform the job in a very professional way, we had the job inspected and even the inspector was very impressed on how the job got done, so I hired him again to do EV charger installation and the main panel needed to be upgraded in my other home since it was an old panel he explained to be a zinsco panel I went online and effectively this thing was a fire hazard! Thank God for Cesar! Once again pulled the permits and not even one flaw we are so thankful we found Cesar, you can definitely see the passion and care he puts into it. Heâ ll be our electrician for life."

How much do electricians typically cost?

  • San Lorenzo, California Average
    $366
  • Typical Range
    $200 - $495
  • Low End - High End
    $100 - $1,000

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.
