    "Jim was the first to answer my call of request. I normally do not go with the very first person of hire concerning work done on my home. He called each morning for accurate scheduling and showed up on time. When Jim arrived I found him to be a politely warm and friendly businessman. I found Jim to be an experienced electrician, knowledgeable and informative. He understood right away what was needed to get the job done and did it well. I would recommend Jim to anyone needing an experienced electrician to get the job done efficiently. Jim went out of his way to do a complete and exceptional job for me in installing electrical outdoor lights to my detached garage. I'm pleased with the way he neatly positioned the wiring, etcquickly and accuratelyprofessionally well done. At one point, I was indecisive concerning the actual light fixtureswasn't exactly sure what I wanted. He was patient and helped me to decide. Again, I'm well pleased. I will certainly call on Jim in the near future for electrical work that needs installation and/or repair.. Thanks much Jim for a job well done. Peggy Randolph"

    "Project: remove old 220 line and replace with 110, install 3 outlets and two switches for deck lighting outside, install and wire for lamp above pool table and install two dimmer switches; 1 for can lights and 1 for light above pool table. I had contacted several electricians and described my project. Only two of the several electricians showed up and offered quotes; both quotes were a little high for the project. I contacted Bobo Electric, they scheduled an immediate evaluation and said they would have a quote by that evening in my e-mail. That evening I had the quote and to my surprise, a VERY reasonable quote. I contacted Bobo the next day and scheduled an appointment that was only a few days away. On the day of the appointment I received a call that indicated they were on there way. They arrived right on time. The work was done very professionally and efficiently and exactly to my wishes. All three gentlemen were nice, courteous and very professional Do not call another electrician before you contact Bobo Electric! Highly recommended!"

    "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!"

He was on time for the estimate and scheduled the work within 3 days. He was on time to install my lighting fixtures and installed the lights in about 5 hours. He was very polite, neat, and did an excellent job installing the fixtures. I thought the price was fair. I would highly recommend Tasho Electric!"

He worked efficiently and did a great job at a more than fair price. With his flat pricing per fixture, I knew exactly what I was paying for. I would definitely recommend contacting him for any of your electrical needs."

    "Let me tell you why I would 1,000,000% recommend them! In March I had an electrical fire in my basement. It could have been very bad, but a pvc pipe carrying water was touching the burning venting material and two small holes were created. The water burst out and put the fire out. Well, how did this happen? Our electrician Jeff worked relentlessly for hours - spanning two days! The second day the owner of HI-LITE, Joe Albert, came along also. I was so impressed by their knowledge and fervent curiosity as to how this fire started. Jeff was 100% determined to make my home safe, and he did! So grateful for the kindness they showed me in an extremely stressful time. With something like this you don't want to feel uncertain about the electrical repairs being made. Scary stuff. But I 1,000,000% trust HI-LITE and feel safe in my home! I wish I could give them 10 stars!"

    "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."

    "We've been using this company for at least last 5-6 years to do the annual service checkup of our Generac Generator. Thankfully, due to their service, we've not needed any repairs. Joe also advised me & corrected an error in the original installation of the generator by hoisting it and putting a level base under it so I'll get better & longer service out if it. They're also great with contacting me each year to set up service & are very accommodating to my work schedule. Great, reliable company. Will continue to use 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:

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.
