Vivian M. says, "Adam was great! What we thought would’ve been an easy, quick 3 hour project , turned into an 6 hour job. He made the impossible possible and turned the wall from concrete hell into the masterpiece I wanted. He was patient, informative, and very reasonable in price. My husband even picked up a couple of carpentry skills lol. I would definitely recommend him to others. Thank you so much Adam!"See more

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

What do I need an electrician for?

Electricians can help with a variety of electricity-related jobs around your home. If you have a new home, they can install new wiring throughout. Or if you have an old home, they can help with wiring repair. 

If your lights keep flickering, circuit breakers seem to be faulty, or outlets don’t have any power, electricians can assist in sorting out the problem. Your house is full of electrical circuits, wiring and sockets that may need repair or updating. These tasks can be safely completed by electricians in your area.

How much does a licensed electrician cost per hour?

An electrician’s average hourly rate is $75, but this price can range from $45-$120, depending on the complexity of the job and the materials needed. The total cost will also vary depending on how long your job takes and if the electrician charges for travel time.

Your location may also be a factor in determining the hourly rate of performing electrical work on your home. To get an accurate estimate of how much electrical work will cost you, contact the best electricians near you to receive free quotes.

Do electricians do free estimates?

Yes, they do. Whether you’re looking for new electrical work or wiring repair, the electrician should offer you a free estimate. 

Go online to find the best electricians near you. After researching and finding a few pros who seem qualified for your job, go ahead and request a quote to find out how much those electricians will charge you.

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. 

Once you’ve done a bit of research, ask to receive free estimates from several electricians in your area. Ultimately, hire the most qualified electrician who can complete your project at a reasonable price.

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.

What questions should I ask an electrician?

Here are a few questions you should ask any electrician you’re considering hiring:

  • Are you licensed or certified? A professional electrician should have this information ready and up to date. 
  • Do you have any references? Ask for references to learn about their work history from previous customers. You may be able to look online at reviews, but it’s also good to speak to someone to find out their experience with this electrician. 
  • What types of services do you offer? Whether you need repairs or installation services, make sure the electrician can perform the work you need.
  • How long will the job take? This will help you set expectations and rearrange your schedule (if needed).
  • Can you send me free estimates? Request a job quote or estimate. This will help with comparing different electricians. The numbers may vary, but be sure to factor in the experience of each person, as well as the scope of electrical work you’re asking about.

Tremayne was FANTASTIC. Friendly, explained everything he was doing and very reasonable. I would not even consider another electrician if Tremayne Bugg was available.

Bobby and his team were amazing from start to finish. The estimate was timely, attention to detail was on point and communication was superior. It’s very hard to find an honest and reliable electrician but I’m glad I finally have!

Electric Ren was a great choice. My job may not have been large but he was able to show up quickly, did a great job and was able to diagnose another electrical issue I was having. Hire him if you need a good electrician!

Glenn was fast, friendly, and fairly priced. Not only did he complete the job I asked for, but he also quickly fixed another problem he noticed without additional charge. I'll be calling Glen next time I need an electrician and would highly recommend him to anyone else in the area.

Mark was very professional and sis an mazing job.. As a Interior Designer, I've used my fair share of electricians. Mark will now be my "go to" guy. I had a ceiling fan in a room with a 14 foot ceiling that need to be swapped out with a chandelier. No problem. He also had to replace a chandelier that had fallen from the ceiling and blew out the wall switch. Which he had in his truck. Again, no problem. He took care of it all and the client was thrilled.
