Electrical Wiring or Panel Upgrade, Electrical Switches, Outlets & Fixtures - Install or Repair
"I have hired Carlos twice now for projects in my condo. The first time he was recommended by my realtor and my friend hired him to replace a panel in his condo. He was very pleased and said he was honest which is true. Carlos gave me two quotes for two different jobs. I needed to phase them so that it would fit in my budget. His quotes were very reasonable so I hired him for phase one which was to replace my kitchen and bathroom lights from fluorescents to recessed lighting. Not only did he do the install be he also did the drywall to patch the wholes. What licensed electrician would ever do that!? I hired him again for Phase two which was to install a ceiling fan, replace and reposition an existing ceiling fan and install a new overhead light in the spare room. Again, as promised he also did the patch work. I also had him replace me switches to more modern ones. Carlos is responsive, accommodating, knowledgeable and on time. I plan on hiring him in the future for more projects. I highly recommend him."

"I would recommend Dream Telecom to any business or residence look to have audio/visual systems added or upgraded to their property. 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!"

"I recently had Narek install a Tesla wall connector in my garage in Los Angeles, and I could 't be happier with the service I received. Narek was not only professional and knowledgeable, but he also got the permit required for the installation very quickly. He arrived on time and took the time to explain the installation process and answer any questions I had. The installation itself was done quickly and efficiently, and Narek made sure to clean up after himself once the job was complete. He also took the time to show me how to use the wall connector and ensure that it was working properly before he left. Overall, I would highly recommend Narek to anyone looking to install a Tesla wall connector. His professionalism, attention to detail, and expertise made the process easy and stress-free, and I am thrilled to now have a reliable and efficient way to charge my electric vehicle at home."

"LogicLamp/RelyEV installed two EV chargers at our facility, and their communication has been excellent from the start. The installation crew was both knowledgeable and efficient. The chargers were connected to the network independently via a SIM card, and we have not encountered any issues so far."

"Great experience with Electro Rob. I knew right away he was very experienced and knowledgeable when he made the repair and did NOT turn the fuse box off. It took him all but a few minutes to replace the light socket and that includes going to his car to get the part, a part I did not have to supply. Finally, Rob was very personable. I will use his service again."

"I needed some fixtures installed on pre-wired light boxes, install 4 recessed lights to match, and 2 kitchen island pendants. I contacted several companies and Joe's is the one that was least fuzzy, most straightforward to talk to and least expensive quote. Others gave me ridiculously pricey quotes and told me the job would like more than a day which I felt was unreasonable since majority of the installation are pre-wired lights! Joe's quote was so reasonable that I was concerned about quality but I took a chance and SO HAPPY that I did!!! Joe sent a 2-man crew, they were extremely careful and efficient. They measured over and over again before drilling for the recessed lights and island pendants. Not only did they did a wonderful job, they completed all the work in 6 hours, didn't open any extra walls for me to patch (other companies all told me they would), and they cleaned up throughly after... even sprayed my kitchen island down and wiped it for me! I'm extremely satisfied with the quality work and professionalism. I highly recommended Joe's Electric!"

"I am writing to share my experience with Ricardo's electrical services, and I wholeheartedly recommend him for any electrical repairs or upgrades you may require. Ricardo conducted himself with utmost professionalism throughout the entire process. His attention to detail and expertise in the field were truly commendable. I was particularly impressed by the quality of his work, which was nothing short of exceptional. Ricardo takes great pride in his work, ensuring that everything he does is of the highest standard. One aspect that sets Ricardo apart is his preference for using top-notch products in his installations. Unlike some others who opt for cheap materials, Ricardo's dedication to quality is evident in his choice of materials and equipment. In conclusion, I am more than satisfied with Ricardo's services and would highly recommend him for any electrical needs you may have. You can trust him to deliver outstanding results in a timely and professional manner."

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.
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.
