"Mallozzi Electric did quite a bit of work on my home. I hired them based on Angie's List recommendations. Over 60% of my house had knob and tube which I had replaced. This was a tedious, time consuming job, no matter how it is done. Gary tackled one room at time. I would clear the room, cover items that could not be easily moved, and then Gary would cut small notches in the wall and ceiling where necessary. Where possible he accessed items through the attic or basement to minimize disruption. The notches are about half the size of a deck of cards. The goal was to run new wiring where needed and then rough patch the notches. As Gary would work through a room he would ask if I wanted anything changed, especially if the current setup no longer made sense. My house was built in 1940, and the NEC today is vastly different, so I had him make changes as he went along. Depending upon the amount changes and the difficulty of a given room it took about 2 days per room on average. Additionally, I had my service upgraded from 100 to 200 AMPs and had my circuits split-up to better meet the current NEC. Since he was upgrading the service I had add a Sense energy monitor installed which is very interesting if you would like to know more about your energy consumption. All in all the job took about 2 months keeping in mind some weeks he worked other jobs. Gary was upfront about cost and there were no monetary surprises. Gary was on time on provide me with a reasonable schedule about the weeks he was able to work on my home. If he was running a bit late he would let me know and was responsive with regards to communication. His quote was detailed and he stuck to it."

"Following a home inspection I needed some odds and ends electric work done. Add 4-5 GFCI, ground a few plugs, etc. Also there were two knob and tube wires totaling under 20” in length that needed replacing. Items that most handle homeowners can do but I wasn’t allowed to because of the selling process, etc. I also needed it done within 7 days. A guy from Cox Electric came to my house to give me an estimate. (I’ll get back to that…) The guy that DID come to fix (Bill from another company) took 3 hours, did a beautiful job, and charged me $850. What was Cox Electric estimate? $3250. With materials costing under $50, this comes to over $1000/hour. While not against the law, gauging homeowners that are going through the process of selling a home is unethical."

FAQs for electrical service projects in Providence, RI
It’s important to ask an electrician a few questions before you commit to hiring them so you can make an informed decision as a consumer. If you’re getting estimates or considering hiring an electrician, ask them these questions:
Are you a full-time electrician?
Are you bonded, licensed, and insured?
What level of experience do you have as an electrician?
Can you please share three references?
Do you do residential or commercial electrical work?
What kinds of electrical work are you most familiar with?
Will any subcontractors be performing the work?
Are permits and inspections required?
Who is responsible for obtaining permits and inspections?
What is your schedule?
Do you offer a guarantee or warranty on your work?
Will you sign a do-not-exceed clause to keep the job within the budget?
Tipping an electrician is not a requirement nor is it expected, as they build a fair wage into the price of the job. It’s up to your discretion. There are no set rules for tipping electricians, but if they did a great job and you’re so inclined to tip 10% to 15%, it will likely be received with thanks.
Yes, you should get a quote or an estimate from an electrician. Most electricians offer free estimates or quotes. When getting quotes, do your research and verify each electrician’s license. Get quotes from three different electricians to compare. If the prices or items listed appear different on the quotes, ask the electrician to clarify. Learning as much as you can about the electrical work you want done will help you get the most accurate estimate.
Qualified, licensed electricians will charge from $50 to $100 per hour. The cost to hire an electrician for emergency visits may range from $100 to $200 per hour because this urgent service usually takes place during off hours and may require an electrician to leave or reschedule jobs they’re currently working on. Scheduling work on holidays or during periods of high customer demand, like after a major storm, will also lead to higher rates or extra fees.
Yes, although there are different types of electricians, they must be licensed, certified, and in most cases insured. States have different requirements for electrician licensing and certifications. In some cases, there may be licensing requirements at the local level, but not the state level. It’s always a good practice to confirm requirements with your local municipality. If licensing is not required in your area, you may pay more for a licensed electrician with experience than one who is not licensed or certified, but you’re likely to get a better end result for your project.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
