"Home Inspection revealed a red alert on the home grounding. Mike’s Electrical came out to my house within the hour and inspected all electrical components involved. The house is in fact grounded and there is no longer a problem with this electrical issue. Thank you for Mike’s quick response and expertise in resolving the situation. Highly recommend them for your electrical needs!"

"Mr. Klaus arrived at my house within 2 hours of calling. He made me aware of everything he had to check out and the possibilities of what could be wrong. Within a very short amount of time he was letting me know what he found and what he would have to do to fix the problem. He gave me different options and recommended the best solution to me. By the end of the day my kids had electricity back in their bedrooms and it did not cost me anywhere near what most other companies quoted me to even come and diagnose the issue. I recommend Resolute Electric to everyone out there reading this! Absolutely the most knowledgeable, courteous, and prompt company I have had to deal with in any of my home repairs."

"A fuse was blown in the fuse box, in part because the electric dog fence had been cut by a utility crew. Ben came late on Friday, and fixed the box and offered to return on Saturday to fix the dog fence wiring. which needed special equipment. He did return and did a great job. Otherwise, it would have taken 2 weeks for Invisible fence to get a repair person here, causing great concern for the safety of the dogs, because we live along a busy street. Very relieved by Ben's work and effort."

"Well we were going to do a ground mount using re-purposed
metal, but there was not enough of it. So Renewable Engineered Systems designed
a system for the roof of the house. We Worked with Brian Brown who helped us
decide what to use.   The solar panel
system is very neat. Get to watch my power everyday.

"We first contacted this company, using Angie's List, and established communication 
via the Angie's messaging center.  
The initial contact seemed to go well -- I clearly laid out what our needs were, in this case we
were seeking repair of a strip of five Malibu lights along our driveway which though connected
to the main line of lights which worked, are not turning on in the evening.  
The response from the company was friendly, saying they could help us with this.  An appointment
was set, and on our request, they clarified they do not charge for first assessments.   But
on the day of the appointment, we waited...and waited. . . and waited . . . one hour past 6 PM.  
We chose to leave the company an email noting that they had failed to show up.  The next day, I phoned
their number.  The person on the phone offered no immediate apology for their failure to show up
the previous day.  Only at the end of the conversation did she express any regret.  
With some hesitation, we re-scheduled a visit. On the day of that visit, I received a call from what I
can only assume was their field rep.  He was somewhat abrupt, saying he wanted to clarify that
they don't work on Malibu lighting.  Remember -- in the initial Angie's List messaging, their office
rep had said they could help us with our problem.
In the phone call, the field rep said the company only discusses lights that they can provide (this clearly
messaged that they decline to get involved in minor jobs, reflecting comments by others left in reviews
on Angie's List).  
We decided to maintain the appointment . . .the company rep arrived.  It was clear from the start they he 
had no intention of providing any estimate that would be in what we consider a reasonable range.   As another reviewer noted on Angie's:  "It was clear from the start that the company is really only interested,  though, in dramatic upscale lighting. . . ."
The discussion ended with the field rep, who provided a ballpark verbal estimate of between $2,000 and $2,500, and said 
if that is not in our budget range it wasn't even worth his time writing up an estimate.   And . . . that was that.
But I feel compelled to provide this description, because others have obviously experienced the same.  For the reason
alone of the contradictory information provided, which initially gives the impression to potential customers that this 
company does care about jobs costing less than $2,000, I am providing this information.  Add to that the failure to show 
up on the first appointment, and we would not recommend this company -- unless of course, you are fully able to spend at least $2,000 on lighting.
I recommend to this company, and all others who think they can engage in this kind of activity, that they realize that 
people are really not that stupid.

FAQs for electrical service projects in Chincoteague, VA

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.
