"Three electricians worked on the job & completed it in 3 1/2 hours! I was expecting it to be done in 5-6 hours. They even hooked their generator up to my big freezer! The City inspector just checked their work, said it was a job well done! I would definitely hire them again."

"Charlie was hired to completely rewire a 1910 8 unit apartment building. He and his crew were very conscious of the impact this project had on the tenants and went out of their way to minimize the disruption to their lives. Charlie's end product is a work of art. As a professional property manager I've work with a number of very competent electricians over the years. Charlie goes to the front of the line. Hire Charlie for your electrical needs. You will be happy you did."

"We are new homeowners in the area and had used Jasonâ s services at our previous home and heâ s always done great work. We had a gas issue we needed taken care of promptly and Jason was quick to respond and get to our residence to fix the issue. This day and age itâ s hard to find home services companies that are honest and provide quality work at a fair price. Jason and Smart Climate are one of those companies. I would not hesitate to recommend his services to any of my friends or family. Thanks Again Smart Climate!"

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.
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.
