Nelson T. says, "We were faced with a circuit breaker that kept tripping especially when we tried to use our microwave oven. We were about to go out and buy a new oven because the cost of a tech to just look at the oven was more than half the cost of a new one, this after talking to the oven manufacturer gave me a long list of what could be wrong. Decided to have an electrician look at the problem first. Called several companies and all but HBP couldn't schedule for days. Contacted HBP through Thumbtack and within 10 minutes received a call from Blake at HBP. Blake arrived at our house in less than two hours and looked at the problem and after a quick check of the house and breaker panel found what was wrong. He completely explained what he thought should be done, sat down with us and gave us several options and complete costs for each option. We chose to just repair our immediate problem until we were able to secure financing to resolve the greater problem of a very old panel. Blake got the circuit up and running and actually resolved the microwave problem for less tha a new microwave would have cost us. We now have the financing needed for HBP to complete the needed panel upgrade and it will definitely be HBP. The response was great, work was great and the cost for the complete work was much less than a previous quote we had received. I would highly recommend HBP and especially Blake. Thanks!"See more

How do I hire an electrician?

Go online to find a list of the best electricians in your area. View each individual electrician’s profile and learn more about their services and expertise. Then, read reviews from satisfied customers as well as any issues they may have encountered. This will help you find one with the right experience to work safely in your home.

You should also spend some time researching what qualifications and credentials they have. You might find information about their license on their profile, or you might need to check your local and state government’s website to verify their license.

Is it worth it to hire an electrician?

Yes, it's usually worth it to hire an electrician instead of doing the work yourself.

Electrical work can be very dangerous. The pros spend many years working and studying before they become licensed and certified. That knowledge and training can help them work safely and perform the job without harming themselves or your home. 

Even a small wiring repair job can be unsafe if not done correctly. Hiring someone that has specialized training on how to do each specific job is the safest choice.
