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.

Contact the best electricians near you today to start receiving free estimates for your project(s).

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.

Excellent excellent electrician! He finished five jobs in an hour. Even fixed an electrical outlet that my tile guy had tiled into an incorrect position 5 years ago and I thought it was unfixable. I learned my lesson, no more letting handymen do an electrician's job. Robert does it right the first time and does it very efficiently.

Why advertise you do electrical and wiring and then turn around and ask us to call an electrician when you had already seen photos of the job?

They promptly responded to my request for a quote. I was contacted within a day or 2 of posting. Work begins in about 2 weeks. I'm in no rush. The electrician that came out to inspect the work that needs to be done was knowledgeable and courteous.

Sam is a wonderful repair person. He is punctual, thorough, and completely professional. I cannot recommend him enough and his company. If you want a fair and honest electrician call him ASAP. Again, a fantastic and fair company.

This is an electrician that we will recommend to all of our friends. Knowledgeable, responsive, good value, and our city inspector said “excellent work”. What more could you want? We had a new dedicated connection to an induction cooktop installed. Great work.

CBR Electric responded immediately and had their lead electrician out to my place within an hour. He addressed my specific concerns quickly, installed a GFI outlet, and in the process encountered and repaired dangerous melted wiring inside a junction box. I will call CBR again in the future

The electrician came out with no issues, and he replaced the fuse on the outlet that had burnt before tripping the breaker, but it is now 9 months later and I lost power to the main outlet again without tripping the breaker. My last outlet lasted 5 years, so something must have been missed.

Great experience with this team! Scheduling was a breeze. My electrician Billy arrived on time, went over options and was super friendly and professional. He did a phenomenal job in quickly installing an additional outlet with minimal impact on existing walls. Even better, prices were absolutely reasonable for the quality of work! I would absolutely contact them again for future projects.

He was quick to schedule an appointment with me. He followed up to confirm he was coming. He was very friendly. He completed the job super fast. I felt very comfortable having him in my home. I plan to hire him again for some other electrical issues that I have. I’m glad to have found a great Electrician.

I would’ve picked all the options if I could. He was very professional, worked diligently, affordable, and on top. Will definitely hire again for electrical. I’ve had 2 electricians work on my 3-way switch. None fixed it right. But he did I think his name was Alex? Not sure. But he was great! Checked everything before he left. Awesome service.

We needed an internet cable installed, and Comcast's electrician told us he didn't know if he could do it, and it would take at least 4 hours. Eric came and had the job done in an hour. He ran a wire from outside the house through the attic and created a nice fixture where we wanted it to come out of the wall. We will definitely call him for future projects!

Mason was hands down the best electrician I've ever got to work with. He explained everything that I needed every part and what it's use was for and helped me get exactly what I needed in order to accomplish my job. Even with my houses unusual circumstance of a half crawl space, he still made it work and now my house is ready to install a tankless water heater. Definitely will use his services again. If there's a rating higher than five stars he would get it.

I hired Drew to replace two floodlights along with installing an additional six floodlights and an exterior outlet. It was great that he was able to work around my schedule and the price he charged seemed reasonable. However three of the lights and the outlet failed within one week. It has been two weeks and even after setting up an appointment on his schedule, he has yet to repair his work. Plus his communication is spotty at best which is very frustrating. Now I have to hire another electrician to repair his work which negates his rate.

Sam wad amazing helping me figure out an issue I had with my portable ACs plug prongs getting hot inside the outlets. Other electricians went right to telling me I needed to install new circuits and charge me thousands for it. Sam was happy to look at the more the more economical and simple solution first - replacing outdated outlets with new ones. And that fixed my problem...no more hot prongs! I will he calling on Sam again to help me replace the rest of the switches and outlets in my house and bring them current.

Although they did perform the expected service well. They did not make the originally scheduled appt time and waited until late in the afternoon to inform me they could not meet the appt. And their charges are significantly higher than other electricians I have worked with. I actually had the same service done on a different plug less than 2 weeks ago, and they were 66% higher cost wise for the same service and length of time. I understand that larger businesses come with higher overhead, but nothing in the service I received compensated for that additional cost. The service wasn't faster than my previous vendor. The schedule wasn't more accurate,

Brian did a great job at fixing my electrical problem. I had a few outlets on a wall go out and needed it fixed quickly. He was able to come by the next day and do some troubleshooting. Despite a challenging situation and scheduling conflicts with his already busy schedule, he was able to prioritize the job and got the outlets working and wired new circuits that improved the situation! He was really great at communicating and took the time to explain everything and provided options to consider. He worked hard, was honest and fair, and willing to go the extra mile to get everything taken care of. He’ll be my electrician of choice going forward and I would highly recommend him to others!

I was trying to install an uninterruptible power supply for my sump pump but couldn’t figure out why the outlet would energize for the sump pump but not the UPS or any other device. I couldn’t get a response from the electrician who re-wired my house a few years back, so I reached out to Robert at 5K Electric, and he responded right away on Friday morning, came out the same day to check out the situation free of charge, and then came back on Monday to do the work. He was flexible, professional, and figured out a complicated situation quickly. I would definitely recommend his services, and would call him again in a heartbeat with any other issues.

I hired Daniel to fix some kitchen outlets, turn a two prong old knob and tube outlet into a grounded 3 prong, and to troubleshoot a bathroom exhaust fan that was rattling loudly. He completed all these tasks, found that the rattling was caused simply by a wire that was hitting against the fan cover and needed to be adjusted (saving me the expense of replacing the fan), and he even took the time to look at my stove outlet and add a new outlet cover to it, and to look at my kitchen wiring overall, as a previous electrician had told me it would all need to be replaced. Daniel fixed what I needed, didn’t try to upsell which he was easily in a position to do, and was polite and professional throughout. He showed on time, was patient with my dogs, and he charged less than I expected. I would definitely hire him again.

I hired this individual for some electrical work, swayed by his amicable demeanor and apparent expertise over the phone. I did receive lower estimates from other contractors, but his assurance made me choose him for the task. He began working on the electrical panel installation and pledged to install new outlets without charging extra. Unfortunately, he couldn't complete the work in a day and had to return the following day to wrap up the tasks. I also needed my oven repaired, for which he initially quoted $350, but after some haggling, we settled on $300 and a positive review. Regrettably, that's when the real problems began. After his departure, I discovered three previously working outlets were now nonfunctional, and the newly installed ones were crooked. Worse still, the oven ceased working shortly after his repair. When contacted, he nonchalantly replied he would revisit during the inspection, exhibiting a complete lack of urgency despite our inability to cook. Furthermore, he lamented about the low price he had charged us, suggesting that justified his subpar work. We persisted, and he returned on a Friday, assuring us that he had fixed everything. However, once again, we found the same issues persisting. Our calls were met with excuses about being busy and promises to come back on Monday. His assistant kept mentioning that we were getting service at "Mexican prices", implying that we shouldn't complain. On Monday, a heated argument ensued over everything. He left without fixing it, At this point, I would categorically advise against hiring this person for any job, small or large. He lacks dependability, has an unhealthy focus on money, and blatantly indicates that the price we paid was reflective of the mediocre quality of his work. I'd strongly suggest making any payments through a platform where disputes can be raised if need be. In summary, this was a dreadful experience. We ended up hiring another electrician who was appalled at the initial work and pointed out multiple errors. Thankfully, he rectified everything for half the price. Nevertheless, we ended up paying twice because of the first electrician's inadequacy. Therefore, I strongly discourage hiring him.
