Nichols ElectricInstaller was prompt and courteous. He did a good job.
Prompt response with someone coming out to measure 2 days later. Had to order replacement. Came in sooner than promised. When he came to install he called and asked if he could arrive early. Installer was friendly, professional and efficient. Quality was excellent.
The experience of getting it installed was just fine but they are supposed to come back and haven’t yet to remount the dirt that settled. It’s a good product. I think that’s one thing that stood out and it’s definitely something solid. The people who put it in knew what they were doing but...
Fantastic! Our installer showed up on time, removed the old blinds, installed the new ones, and cleaned up thoroughly. He even hauled away the old blinds! We love the new look and the fact that we have less light disrupting our sleep. We can't wait to have the opportunity to get them out for...

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?
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.
Yes, a home security system can be worth it for your peace of mind alone, but it can also save you up to 20% on your home insurance. The insurance savings will help defray the initial setup costs and subscription costs over time. Locations with higher crime rates also make home security systems a valuable investment, but it ultimately depends on your personal preferences and asset values.
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.
