    "Hristo was great to work with. He helped me with all of my light fixture replacements and was able to find a solution for a fluorescent light that was not working. He was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient throughout the process. I will definitely hire him again for other projects in the near future."

    "Was looking to get a Safety Hand Rail installed at the entrace to the house from the garage for my parents. Was looking for something that would be functional and would look nice w/o being too fancy. Most handyman services discussed custom iron rail handrails that needed to be cut/adjusted on site and could easily run into $400-$500 for even the most basic design. Spoke with Ron and after listening to me, he proposed a simple wood system that would get attached to the floor and wall and a handrail on top. He had me supply measurements and pictures of the entrace, sourced the material and painted all the pieces before arriving and got everything installed over 2 days. The 2nd day was mainly to source the proper brakets for the hand rail after I changed how I wanted it installed. He really takes the time to listen to the customers request and provides feedback on what is doable. Very easy to work with and takes alot of pride in doing things well and correctly and not rushing. Will definately use Ron again for larger project also. BTW, he kept the final price at his original quote of $200 and saved me money over all the other custom quotes."

    "The project was to re-do my garage electrical and install a generator tie-in to the house. Ferrer Electric was outstanding. They responded immediately to my inquiry, and they came out right away to look at my project, and give me an estimate. Lead electrician *Eddie* was fantastic. He has a great attitude, and you can tell he is eager for your business and most appreciative of it. Very friendly and professional. The quality of the work was great, and the prices fair. Eddie was always on time, and he did what he said he would do. I am pleased to recommend them, and I will hire them again for my next electrical projects."

    "I had previously gotten a quote from *****busters that was 3x the amount that AIT quoted. I felt better about going with AIT though because of the service - Artur and his team were confident in their service and the products they sell and they guaranteed that they would stand by me until my home networking issues were resolved. Months later, my entire 4500 sqft home receives flawlessly smooth internet/streaming without anymore blank spots. I cannot recommend AIT enough to those looking for affordable and quality residential networking diagnosis/installation."

    "Working with Fabian was the most pleasant experience of our project to date. Although he was initially brought in as a sub-contractor, we chose to contract with him directly because he was honest and more forthcoming than the GC overseeing our project. He takes pride in his work and you can be assured of such because he makes sure he explains what needs to be done according to current codes and provides a reasonable warranty for the services he executes. Fabian has an incredible work ethic, coming prepared to work after our consultation and even asking to stay a little later to complete tasks on his first day. Additionally, he puts the customer first, ensuring the safety of your home from beginning to completion. If only more contractors existed like him, our homes would be more secure. What began as a nightmare with the GC, worked out better than we could have asked. Very grateful for his humility and honesty. Continued growth and success with your business!"

    "Anthony was a pleasure to work with! He was extremely efficient with his work and made sure everything was done properly. He completely transformed my laundry room space. He was able to flawlessly put vinyl flooring over the existing tile as well as put wood on the wall as an accent! He installed baseboards and trim and topped off the area with a matching shelf for my detergents. He reinstalled my dyson charging station and put up a key rack for me! Couldn’t have asked for better service. I will be using him for all of my future projects. Very fair pricing and honest work!"

We live in the city and share a parking garage with other units, so things felt like the might get complicated. He was able to walk us through the process, the cost, and had a great timeline for everything to be done.

    "Robert and Jeff did an excellent job installing recessed lights and fans in 4 rooms amidst a crowded workspace as a crew of painters followed behind them and sometimes worked alongside them simultaneously. Robert was flexible and accommodating as I was initially indecisive with how many can lights were needed. He made helpful recommendations and also repaired a light that a handyman was unable to restore to working order. Robert's rates are reasonable and I appreciate how he has accommodated delivery delays. I will definitely continue to call on him for future projects!"

    "Although at this point the work hasn't started, this project had a lot of obstacles. The owner made multiple visits and we spoke several times to help figure out a way to reach goals without charge. He was very generous with his time and helped to figure the most cost effective way to get started and progress. He listens and goes beyond the call of duty. I have no doubts that he is true to his word and integrity. I am happy to have found such an exceptional and attentive electrical contractor. He's my guy from now on."

    "I cannot say enough good things about Abraham and his team. They were indispensible during a challenging and stressful move. Not only did they do a superb job of installing a ceiling fan to an 18ft ceiling, multiple patch repairs, seamlessly replacing and installing bathroom extractor fans that into non standard sized spaces, filling countless nail holes and repainting, and reattaching a dislodged dishwasher, Abraham did all of this amidst the chaos of a move and made MULTIPLE trips to Home Depot to color match paints when I provided the wrong cans. He was patient, thorough, and went WAY above and beyond any expectations in both service, execution, and generosity. If you have anything you need done in your home, make these guys your first call!"

    "We had a fantastic experience working with Allin and his team for the installation of our EV charger in our garage. From the very beginning, they were extremely professional, responsive, and knowledgeable. The turnaround time from getting a quote to the actual installation was impressively fast, which we really appreciated. The installation itself was clean, efficient, and clearly done with great attention to detail. Allin made the entire process seamless and stress-free. We’re very happy with the final result and would highly recommend Allin and his team to anyone looking for a reliable and professional EV charger installation. Thank you again!"

    "Mr. Jim Gorman who is the owner of the business called me back within a half hour of my email posting. He visited my home 3 days later, inspected things, and told me what the approximate cost would be. He and his helper then installed an entire lightning protection system on both my house and a back garage/storage area. He did things exactly as I wanted in every way. Also threw in a free weathervane which increased the beauty of my home. I would have no objection to recommending this gentleman and his company to anyone who is in need of a competently installed lightning protection system for their home/property. MID-AMERICA LIGHTNING RODS is one fine company run by a man who cares about doing good work according to the latest safety codes etc. Having lost my previous retirement home to lightning, it was very important to me to get this job done and quickly because the thunderstorm season is upon us and with the climate change, those storms are very wicked, especially here out in the country where i live!"

They came to give the quote on a day's notice, gave a very fair price, and performed the work beautifully. They left my house cleaner than they found it, and communicated well throughout the process. I was completely satisfied with the whole project and the experience of working with them. I would definitely work with them again, and would recommend them highly."

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.
