"We had multiple electrical issues in our 40 year old home; outdated fixtures, dark areas and bad experiences with prior contractors. With lessons learned, this time we solicited several quotes before hiring a contractor. Sarchil, from Lightning Electric was an obvious standout. He patiently provided detailed explanations of what was needed, how he would proceed and answered all of our questions. We are delighted and more than satisfied with then results. We will recommend them to family and friends."

"The job went well. We needed someone to come out as soon as possible. Waibel electric was booked 2 weeks out but indicated they could possibly come out this week due to the nature of the job. I received a call 2 days later and advised they could come out. They replaced the GFI and identified the issue with the dryer electrical outlet and replaced the breaker accordingly. Both Jon and Todd did a great job and delivered in a emergency situation. Thanks guys"

"Started off through messaging via Angie's List and received a call from their call center / customer support - set up a callback to get a quote via phone. The next phone call I received was from Mike (Manager) whom listened to the request for a quote and provided a high overview on the following steps needed for the 200 amp panel box replacement - including potential timeframe for completion. After a quick site visit, Mike took care of setting up the remainder including the permit. A couple days later Scott (Technician) arrived and within 3 hours completed the job - replacing the box, clean-up, and ensuring all connections were up/running. The following day there was one more visit for inspection. Overall, I received plenty communications via email and phone (mobile) from Mr Electric to keep me posted on each step. Great service, fair pricing (parts/labor/permit), and great communication."

"This is the 2nd time I have used Safe Electric and both times I have used them have been great experiences. I had 3 new fixtures installed plus a new circuit run to be used for a new freezer in our finished basement. Jon & Eric were the two electricians that were sent to my home. They worked efficiently and quickly, but did outstanding work. Even though our basement had a finished ceiling, they were able to run a wire through with minimal disruption to the finished ceiling. I had concerns about the alignment of the lights on the fixture (this was a manufacturing defect and nothing to do with their installation) and they obliged me by improving the light alignment. They also cleaned up after they were completed and disposed of the old light fixtures and packaging materials for the new fixtures. Their work was excellent. The only negative aspect was the price which seemed very high to me. The cost for installation of the 3 light fixtures was $462 and the new circuit was $903."

"We absolutely loved using Safe Electric! Bob, Eric, and Don were extremely knowledgable and treated us with the upmost respect! They walked with us at the end of each day to show us the progress and make sure everything was still in line with what we were wanting. We had electric ran to a shed, a panel upgrade and the main wire from the meter replaced. We are extremely pleased with the quality of their work and professionalism of the guys! We won't use anybody else!"

"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 Construction 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.
