"Outstanding service. Arrived for bid and ultimately the work at agreed upon times. Performed a thorough diagnosis and replaced the faulty GFI outlet quickly and professionally. A separate outlet that I assumed was connected to the same GFI, was actually connected elsewhere. He found the correct GFI and reset it as well. This work was done during COVID times and they arrived with masks and kept their distance. I would highly recommend MJ Electric for their professionalism, timeliness, a fair pricing."

"Steve did several items for me. Installed a smart thermostat, ring doorbell, switched out several lights and installed a new solar outdoor light. All was done with no fuss and he made sure I understood the devices and their operation before he left. Would have no hesitation in recommending Steve and plan to use him for all my electrical needs in the future."

"We were having issues with our undermount cabinet lights. Had called a previous electrician that did not take care of the problem. Called Blue Volt and the owner promptly got back to us, with an appointment the same day. Juan Orendain, the actual owner of Blue Volt, came out, fixed the issue and then did not want to even charge us for the visit!!!!!! He reluctantly took payment. Juan was forthright, thorough and an all-around nice person!!!!!!!! We are now using Blue Volt for all our electrical needs. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pat & Jan [Normal Heights]"

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.
