"The Red Flow (Nurijon) only needed to see my space and have the project explained once. He worked with me and my other contractor for scheduling, costs, and absolutely nailed it. Incredible job from this man and he has won my business from here on out - no questions asked. He's a family guy who understands what time, money, and punctuality mean. Nurijon communicates well whether it was directly with me, my wife, or other contractor - he even entertained my son briefly! What a value add! I absolutely cannot stress how incredibly talented he is and he cleans up as if he were never there - fascinating approach. He's clean cut, well spoken, explains things in common lay person language and advises while consulting. I simply cannot wait for our future project this summer to have him back and install (3) ceiling fans and (12) LED flush mounted can-less light fixtures in my (3) bedrooms. His price are stable, fair, and above all else he's WITH YOU before, during, and after the process to ensure you feel taken care of and are satisfied with his work. DO NOT HESITATE TO HIRE THIS MAN! You will NOT regret it and it's the type of experience you will tell everyone about. I know I did. :)"

"Garage was good, arrived on time, completed replacing outdoor lights and was happy with his work. Maybe just me since I have not had an electrician in a while but $150 per light just to hook up and install new light to existing outlet seemed high."

"We received excellent service from NILES HULL, who performed a pipe repair for a hose attachment in our driveway. The job was $533, and was done well, with pleasant, knowledgeable service. I highly recommend Harris as we've used them for many plumbing and electric projects in recent years. NILES HULL was knowledgeable, caring, and attentive to detail. They stand behind their work.

"I hired AMR Services Group to replace the electric panel that was falling off the stone wall in my basement and install a charging station for an electric car. Anthony was wonderful and the pedestal he built to secure the new electric panel to the wall is very solidly built. The charger installation is done nicely and is working as needed."

"I moved my business to a new location and needed a company to wire my new office for internet. Penn Security called me within minutes of me submitting my request to Home Advisors. Although they could not do the work for wiring my whole office that day, they did come to give me a quote and to make sure that I had at least some sort of internet access. I cannot conduct business without internet. I thought that was so incredibly thoughtful and amazing of them. They did the work 2 days later and did a wonderful job. The crew was friendly, courteous and efficient. I have had no problems with the installation they performed and I would recommend them to anyone! Truly an amazing company!"

"They did a great job with repairing our shed roof. It has rained hard a couple of times after they repaired it and everything is dry. They were careful that everything associated with our leaky roof was repaired correctly. They came when they said they would. Price was also reasonable. I would definitely recommend them."

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.
