"They came for appraisal gave me a quote for $3000 to have two 240V EV plug installed plus few ceiling lights and outlets. After signing the contract and paying the deposit the work was planned for the week after. Over the weekend I got a text message that I have to pay additional $500 for something that was already accounted for in the original invoice. After complaining I was told to not mind it and it was discussed and supervisor was convinced not to change their numbers. It overall made me feel so bad that I told them to just install one 240V EV plug when they came to do the service. They offered to reduce the overall cost to $2800 as the consequence, which they never honored. Meanwhile looking online I realized that for EV charger installation a permit from the city is mandatory (which I was never told when discussing the work initially). So I asked a permit to be pulled they said they will charge $400 (city fee for permits is $225). When the inspection was scheduled I was told the fee is $700+ and when I asked why they are overcharging so much I was told Dispatch says to do so and go ask the office. I reached out to their office but never got an explanation on why the fee is so high. After inspection was done I was given a date and time for people coming in to patch the walls up. I planned my work schedule accordingly and stayed home to facilitate the work. On the date when no one showed up at the scheduled time I contacted the service representative and he said " They are not there because they had more important works to do!" . Basically saying they cancelled my work because of other works without me being notified. My guess is they forgot to arrange the work to begin with but who knows. I ended up paying $3430 while being made to feel I am rubbing them blind. This was an extremely frustrating experience overall. The two stars given is for the contractors they used to do the work which did their work without any issues."

FAQs for electrical service projects in Atherton, CA
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.
