    "Working with Alonzo was a pleasure. He installed 11 new lighting fixture and one large chandelier. He was pleasant, professional, neat and did a great job for a reasonable price. I would highly recommend Instinct Electrical."

    "Daniel and his colleague did a great job! Initially, they installed lighting fixtures, but then I decided to install recessed lighting instead. Before he returned to do another job, we discussed the kinds of fixtures and placement. His follow up and communication was great throughout. He completed the job and I was extremely satisfied with how it turned out. Am thinking of other jobs he can do! UPDATE 4/10/2019: This is the third time that I have hired Daniel. He is always the consummate professional. Very easy to work with. Will deliver exactly as promised and does excellent work. In addition to installing 6 recessed lights, he moved and installed a fan and replaced another fan in a different room."

    "Tech was polite, knowledgeable and did a nice professional job. My only "pet peeve" was that after installing new canister lights in our kitchen, he left the old fluorescent fixtures and boxes for me to dispose of. Otherwise, super job!"

In addition, Adel committed to and succeeded in solving a wiring issue that required attic and crawl space work. He maintained a positive, professional, can-do attitude the entire time, which put my mind at ease. He will be my go-to electrician moving forward."

    "Was lucky enough to learn of lion and sun builders when my parents were looking around to find a company that could convert their 2 car garage into a 2 bedroom ADU for my family of 3. We met with Brian , owner of company who is professional in his work in early 2023, discussed ideas and he got back to us right away with plans & the next steps quickly. Construction started 2nd week of August and wrapped 2nd week of November! We are now moving into a fresh cozy space right before the new year and holiday! Brian was always quick to respond, the workers were efficient & neat and the project was completed way before the estimated date. Definitely contact them for your construction & remodeling needs!"

    "Mark was very communicative prior to coming for the installation. We quoted the Tesla Wall Charger installation site unseen for a basic (same wall as the panel), and extended project (routing to the center of the garage). Both quotes were competitive, and he was able to complete the job within a few hours of arrival. Upon getting to the house, Mark was able to provide the advice needed as to where to place the charger, as we walked through the convenience and practicality of the best fit. He was pleasant, knowledgeable, and professional. Mark was also cognizant that I was working from home and managed to limit interruptions. Mark is a class act, and I completely recommend M W Electric for your EV installation needs."

Jonny Won did a fantastic job on the installation of our rooftop television at the property I manage in Downtown LA. Not only did he see where we could improve our existing television, he saw what needed to be repaired so the new television would not run into the same problem in the future. Johnny's experience and knowledge in his field is quite astonishing, he seems to have what it takes to get any job done. Johnny will succeed in all that he does, and am confident he can improve your audio/visual system in a timely manner. Getting this scheduled and completed made this a seamless process for me and my team! Thank you Johnny!"

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.
