"They responded to my inquiry on a Saturday morning a minute after I sent it in, literally one minute later! From there, they said they could come by to do a free estimate in an hour. They were on time, one minute early. They quoted a fair price and everything was outlined up front. They estimated 3-5 hours. They came by Tuesday as scheduled right on time, and it took 4hrs. I hired them to come back for another job in two weeks. Highly recommend!"

A truly skilled, well-equipped professional with a truck full of parts that charges $100 an hour can be a much wiser choice than an inexperienced hack, working with inadequate tools and no parts, but charging much less. Often, more experienced professionals get the job done quickly with warrantied work.
2. Compare Travel ChargesRates reflect travel times. Travel charges can have a big impact on your costs and are in some ways easier to compare than hourly rates. Many electricians spend a third or more of their time navigating traffic on their way to a jobsite. Every contractor must find a way to pay for the expense of driving each day.
3. Bundle Repair Jobs TogetherWhen you feel it’s time to call a pro, review your list and then conduct a mini-inspection of your home. Look for faulty switches and dysfunctional or crowded outlets. When the electrician comes, you’ll save money and time by getting everything taken care of at once.
