"Mosby Electric comes highly recommended. Gavin and his team are experts in their field. A few days after completion of services, I received a call from Mosby Electric checking to make sure I was satisfied and to call them if I experience any issue. This gave me great comfort knowing that they truly care about customer satisfaction."

"I had an estimate done on some electric work, and James Pinson did an excellent job. He was very thorough, clear with his suggestions, and the pricing was very competitive. Based on James's visit and the estimate he provided, I chose Mr. Electric to complete the work."

"Craig Desrosiers with Safe Electric did fantastic work for me right before Christmas. I liked how he arrived on the dot on time. I was so pleased with his work in fact, that I hired Craig a second time today, 12/27 for an additional several hours to install more Lutron Caseta radio dimmer switches for our home and landscape lighting control, which I love. He also installed new duplex outlets that were expertly cut and fished with no holes for me to patch and paint -what a relief and huge convenience to me. This was a very challenging job, especially since they were undoing improperly completed work previously done by a less experienced and unreliable electrician that I foolishly hired as side work (don't ever do that like I did a month ago, because you do NOT get what you think you paid for). Spend the money, hire a recommended licensed, experienced, and honest electrician. He tirelessly trouble shot and traced extensive track lighting fixtures throughout our mid century modern home. It helped to have all items purchased and ready for him to install. The few things I didn't have, he easily had ready to install from his work van. He was definitely prepared. Craig didn't cut any corners, he charged me a fair hourly rate, and most important: everything was done this time perfectly and safely. I feel strongly that when resale time should ever come around in the future years from now, I won't have any further issues or questions from a buyer's pesky home inspector, thanks to his job done right. 'Wish I'd called him first! I now have his cell number saved in my phone, and will gladly pass it on to anyone who asks me in passing if I know of a good electrician I can recommend. Call Craig first! He's the Lutron master pro, and he's been a licensed electrician for over 30 years...and his experience and professionalism shines bright and safe in my home, that's for sure."

"The work went well and the electricians worked the entire time (about a 4 hour project). There was no goofing off or frequently "checking phones." They did a good job especially with a difficult installation of a new floor outlet in our office. I would hire Waibel again for electrical work."

We want you to know that we are very pleased with the quality of service Undefined Heights Electrical & Data LLC provided. I was impressed from our first appointment. Your estimate was not only the most affordable compared to the other four companies I received estimates from, but it was the most detailed. I really appreciated the time spent on educating me on your solution for our electrical work needed. This made me understand the process and reasons of the work that needed to be done. I felt confident I was making the right decision.

Not only were you the most affordable and offered the best long term solution, but you saved me money by being honest and not adding additional unnecessary costs. You also went above and beyond by adding a few extras that made my life easier. We sincerely appreciate your responsiveness and the way you conduct business. Your team completed this project on schedule. They were extremely professional and diligent during our tedious project. I was also surprised by how hands on you were, and it was a pleasant surprise to have you on site.  

I admire your tenacity, I?m still shocked at the fact that you worked outside during a sever e thunderstorm to get the job done on time.  This was a complicated job, you understood the sense of urgency and you were efficient enough to get it done in a day. Inspection passed with flying colors.

We will be recommending Undefined Heights Electrical & Data LLC to others because of our satisfaction with your service. We look forward to doing business with you for years to come. Undefined Heights Electrical & Data LLC is officially my go to company for any electrical issues I encounter for my primary residence and investment properties.

"Excellent experience from start to finish. He replaced two ceiling fans in separate bedrooms, and the work looks phenomenal. He arrived early, which was incredibly helpful with my work schedule, was professional and personable throughout, and completed the job much faster than I expected without any issues at all. Everything was installed flawlessly, cleanly, and with obvious attention to detail. Very polite, very professional, and genuinely easy to work with. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for quality electrical work, and I will definitely hire him again."

"I highly recommend Scott Pinto! I hired him to install an EV charger at my house, and the whole experience was outstanding from start to finish. Scott is friendly, knowledgeable, and an excellent communicator. I know very little about electrical wiring, and he took the time to fully explain everything he was doing in a way that actually made sense to me. His estimate was more than fair—quoted lower than many others I’d gotten—and he worked quickly without cutting corners. More importantly, the quality of his work was excellent. He cleaned up after himself completely, and the final install looks clean and professional, exactly as I’d hoped it would. Here’s the best part: he finished in almost half the quoted time, which brought the final cost in more than $250 lower than his initial estimate. We also discussed some additional electrical work I’ve been considering, and I’ll absolutely be hiring Scott to complete it. If you need electrical work done, call Scott. You won’t regret it!"

Electrical Inspection FAQs

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.
