3k+ It would be hard to find a firm with less integrity and honesty. If I could give them negative stars I would. If you are looking for skilled electricians and good customer service, look elsewhere. These people not only lie, but they do bad work, don't take responsibility for their mistakes...
Effortless ordering process. Installers prompt and professional.
ABKA Marble & Granite IncQuickly ordered the part and installed it when they said they would
BMC Clower Heating & Air Conditioning IncWe had to wait a week for the installation, but work was high quality. They were friendly and competant.
Senke's Specialty Service IncWhen the installer came out I was advised that it may do a lot of damage to the ceiling to install the recessed lights. I appreciated their honesty. I decided not to have the lighting installed for this reason.
Certified Electrical TechnologiesThis is the third time we have retained Have Power LLC (Jason Zawatsky) to perform work in our home. Jason is an absolute perfectionist and a consummate professional. He consistently performs top-notch work and is a pleasure to deal with. He always shows up on time and he's extremely...
Bob, Promptly at 7:30 am this chilly December 26, 2013, Scott and Joe arrived to install a Tuscan chandelier and a pair of Tuscan sconces. Their work was excellent, performed quietly and quickly. They also, as I had requested, gave me the data on my existing track lighting system and said...
Tomato ElectricWe purchased a big deal for the service, and it worked out very well. The price was good, the service was good, and we didn't have problems with it. We paid extra for the chandeliers that we had them put in. I think their pricing was high, and I would probably not use them again because of that.

"Don’t use the plumbing! Called to have Kohler toilet tank plunger repaired. Whole installation is $20. Labor is an hour at $80 so the price is $150, at most. No, they charged $450–BS! These guys are a scam. No prices and I told them to have the repair person call me before arriving. No call, no prices. And, then the repair person has the stones to tell me that everyone overcharges!! Let’s start with not using Beacon!!!"

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?
Typically, under-cabinet lighting costs about $265 on average, ranging from $230 to $300, depending on the type of lights, fixtures, and amount of electrical work required. Additional cost factors include the removal of old lighting, energy costs related to the type of light bulbs, and the replacement of light bulbs as they burn out.
Here are the average lighting costs by type:
LED Puck Lights: $25 per fixture
LED Strip Lights: $20 per 8-foot strip
Xenon Fixtures: $50 per unit
Fluorescent Lighting: $12 to $50 per unit
Recessed lighting installation costs about $360 on average, with a typical price range between $100 and $480, depending on labor cost in your area, required wiring, and the type of bulb. The cost to hire an electrician to install recessed lighting is typically $200 to $250 per fixture. If your electrical pro charges per hour, expect to pay $85 to $105 per hour for this service. Other cost factors include:
Ceiling material
Housing type

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.
