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.

Abel did a great job. Not a large job by any means, but it could have escalated into a much larger project if not for his expertise and recommendations. I was happy I hired him and will certainly call him again next time I need an electrician.

If you're looking an electrician, you'll be hard pressed to find someone better than Abel with A & S Wiring. He was very responsive, punctual and extremely professional. Having worked with a number of general contractors, Abel is top-notch. I'd highly recommend him.

Highly recommended for your electrician needs. Michael was very thorough and worked hard to find and implement the best solution to correct my wiring issues. After uncovering unanticipated wiring problems, he spent the extra time necessary to get the job done the right way. Hard worker and good communication along the way.

I called company to quote a job for my 76-yr old mother. John was prompt to give her a quote and very professional. The job was completed in a couple days. They did a nice job on replacing an outdated electrical panel. They left the work area neat and clean. I would recommend the John Buckley Co. to anyone looking for a competent, dependable electrician.

John Buckley was the first to respond to my Thumbtack request. He was able to schedule me for the next morning (Derby Day) to inspect my home's ground wires. John is very professional and polite and I felt completely at ease having him into my home. He explained everything to me in simple terms, took care of the repair, and charged a very reasonable rate. The next time I need an electrician, John's the man!

I found Thumbtack by googling for electricians in Louisville. I set up an account and opened up a project. I was concerned with some electrical issues that happened in my home this morning. John Buckley was my only response so I gave him a shot. He was beyond prompt, courteous, professional and I simply had no reservations with him at all. He was thorough in his diagnosis and was of great assistance to me. AND beyond reasonable!!!! I will definitely reach out to him for any other electrical issues and will certainly refer him to others. Thank you John!! :)

Owner is very rude. Told me to quit texting him on Thumbtack site because it cost him $40 every time I text him. I would have never done that if I had known. I tried to call the business on his telephone and number on his truck and its is a non working number. They tried to fix a light switch because it stayed hot with dimmer on. It is worse after attempting to fix it. When you turn on my chandelier, it flickers constantly and it wasn’t like that before he worked on it. Also, they installed an outlet , one side of outlet doesn’t work. Charged for both of these jobs and since the owner was so rude about texting and after trying to call a non working number, I have to call a more experienced electrician. So just warning others about my experience.

I hired Ryan to come fix my washing machine wire and my outlet that burned out. I talked to him on the phone twice about what I needed done. Simple job. Everything seems good at first and he said he would be there Thursday at 4:30pm to repair what I needed fixed. I’m like great. I’m not home by the way but my family is. He calls me at 4:40 saying the job is done and he would like to be paid. I’m thinking that was quick. But no problem. I simple asked him if he fixed both things I had asked him to fix (the electric outlet and the washing machine electric cord). He replies and says yes so I go ahead and send him the payment he requested. I get home and the outlet is fixed (great). But the wiring for my washing machine is still burned up and not fixed. I call him immediately, no answer. I text and no answer. I text and call this morning and no answer. He finally reaches out back to me very unprofessionally and says I didn’t hire him to fix the electrical wire (yes I did). We had a phone conversation about it. He accuses me of being a liar ect. To me it’s a simple job. Why not come out and finish it instead of going back and forth about it in an unprofessional way. I basically paid this electrician for a half job done and I’m not happy nor is he letting me get at least half my money back. This is my personal experience and I will not hire him ever again to do anything for my home.
