"Installation went well in December and I thought we would be rating them A. The installers were excellent in customer service. However, when we realized the wrong actual lights (Regular filament vs LED) were installed and they all burned out within a week, in addition to some adjustments that needed to be done so the lights worked as dusk to dawn vs motion, follow-up from "headquarters" was delayed. Weather played a part, however I have contacted several times via, text, phone and email to finish the job and replace the lights to LED as they had called and agreed to do.I have not received a call back at all since February. Work was done in December?"

"Derek and the folks at VHEC saved our Christmas! We lost power very suddenly during the night and next morning Duke Energy said we had to have our meter box replaced. I got VHEC’s name from the Angi app. Derek returned my call immediately and understanding the urgency of the situation he swung into action! They obtained the parts, replaced the box, coordinated all the necessary county permits and inspections and had my box ready for Duke to restore the power by 3pm. Getting all that completed in 5-hours during the week of Christmas was nothing short of a miracle. The fact that they are competent, prompt, have great follow through and are good people makes working with them even better. Don’t hesitate to call Derek and VHEC!"

"It is companies like this one which are destroying America. All I asked this company to do was install an attic fan in the gables at one end of my attic. And they charged me for 3 hours and the time it took them to drive from their office to my house. The job did NOT require them to pull electric from the breaker box, power already existed in the attic and was hooked into an off/on switch. All this 2 man crew had to do was, build a wood frame to put the fan in, attach the frame to the gable and then run 25 feet of wire from the switch to the fan. There was no cutting into the house needed, there was already venting. I even described to the owner of the company what needed to be done and he estimated 1 to 1 and 1/2 hours. They elected not to come out and visually inspect the job. The charged me $181 for the fan they installed. I asked to see the invoice for it and none was provided they stated they got it a big box store. I tried to find one on line similar to what I got and it was priced at $134. Nice mark up wouldn't you say. Bottom if you want people who aren't going to stick to their estimate, not bother to inspect what they are going to do to ensure their estimate is accurate, charge you for the time it takes them to drink their coffee on the way to the work site and rip you off then this is your company. They originally charged me $669 for the job after I complained they reduced it to $579 dollars. I described to what was required of the company you tell me if that was worth what they charged."

FAQs for electrical service projects in Winston Salem, NC
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.
