"WARNING- do not use this company, didn’t do the job agreed and paid for and don’t guarantee work!!!! I had a simple GFCI outlet installation required for a tankless hot water heater in our basement. They came out for an estimate, we agreed on where the source circuit would be to run wire to the new outlet and they took pictures and wrote details of the job. Electrician came out to do the job and I plugged the hot water heater in and it seemed to be ok and paid the bill. However, after the electrician left, we notice the hot water heater stops producing hot water after a few minutes or doesn’t turn on every time. Suspecting there may be an issue with the hot water heater, I called the plumber who installed the hot water heater and everything seems fine with the heater and new outlet from their diagnosis and they can’t determine the issue. I then did some diagnostics myself and noticed the electrician didn’t use the agreed power source I paid for to run wire to the new outlet, he used a different much closer source from a light fixture box, saving him on wire cost and labor time. Suspecting the issue may be a faulty GFCI outlet or something on the circuit, I called the electrician to tell them the situation and they agreed to come out after some haggling to investigate but said I’d need to pay their min $120 fee for the visit if the issue is unrelated to their work. The electrician came out and replaced the GFCI outlet and after testing the hot water heater, the same issue happened with hot water not coming out. With the issue now appearing to be something on the circuit that’s affecting the sensitivity of the GFCI outlet, I asked the electrician to run the circuit from the original source agreed and I paid for. I was told he can’t do that and needs to talk to his boss and asked me to pay for the visit. I refused to pay telling him they haven’t installed the circuit as agreed and I paid for. He agreed and said someone will get back to me to run the circuit from the original agreed source. After a couple of weeks I get a call asking if I’d pay $120 to run the wire from the original source circuit I already paid for. I said I wouldn’t and they should honor the original agreement. The person said he’d talk to his boss. After 3 weeks of hearing nothing, I got fed up and ran a wire myself from the original circuit source to the GFCI outlet. I plugged in the hot water heater and it worked perfectly, confirming the issue was something on the circuit the electrician chose to run the wire from. All I asked for was to do the job we agreed and I paid for and everything would have been fine. They tried to nickel and dime me to pay more to redo their work which wasn’t what we agreed and I paid for. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!"

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.
