"Faraday responded immediately to my request for a quote and came over to my house the same day to discuss various options to install a light fixture so as to minimize drywall repair. I appreciated being given multiple options at different prices. I got several quotes from other electricians around town, and Faraday was the least expensive. Most importantly, the installation itself turned out great. I was very happy with Faraday s professionalism, responsiveness, quick work and overall quality. Highly recommended."

"Brian and his team has been helping to update my home for over a year now. They have completed about 5 different jobs to my highest expectations. They've corrected existing electrical issues, stepped in to finish a remodel job after we fired our original contractor and his crew, added fixtures and will be coming back in a couple of weeks to update all my bedroom fixtures. I love working with Brian. He is very personable and gives clear (and electronically sent) bids for projects. He shows up on time every time - a huge sign of respect for the client's time and needs. I will continue using Attaboy Electric Service for all my electrical needs far into the future."

"Marty replaced my old Federal Pacific electrical panel with a new 200Amp panel and ran a 30Amp, 220V circuit to my garage with a sub panel. He did the work at less than half the price of other competitors. Granted the competitors were the big companies that quote from a book (Brother's Electric and Always Best Choice). As his business matures I hope he raises his prices a little as he deserves a bit more. Overall he did a great job - the inspector and another electrician complimented his work. He also quickly addressed some really minor issues the inspector brought up. I'll hire him again for any electrical work in the future and I'd recommend him in a heartbeat."

"Quick response, quick to schedule, very efficient to get work done. Project required work in crawl space and through garage walls, and wasnâ t a problem at all. Glen was helpful, honest and extremely competitive on price. He even cut the price more after telling me he accidentally charged me twice for labor. I already liked the first price! Iâ ll be using them again."

"Hector with Red Fox Electric was absolutely incredible. He asked for my visual approval for all light fixtures once replaced and didnâ t assume I wanted them exactly where the other lights used to be. Hector made excellent recommendations during the process like adding a dimmer to our kitchen light, which I hadnâ t even thought of as an option before. Lastly, he was so kind, funny and personable throughout his time in my home. By the time he left, it felt like we were old friends. I typically dread having strangers in my house but it was a pleasant experience. The pricing of services was also right on target. I will be using Red Fox Electric exclusively from now on!"

"Aaron and Adam at IRC were fantastic electricians to work with when replacing my home's panel and installing a new subpanel for an ADU. They are clearly experts in their field and take pride in their work, which is apparent in the quality of their installs. They show up when they say they will and get the job done right - I've been recommending IRC to all my friends and family."

Electricians do a fair amount of larger remodeling and new construction projects but also common residential projects including:
For cost information related to the above tasks, visit our Electrical Cost Guide.
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.
4. How to Prepare & What to Know Before the Electrician ArrivesDenver Electricians are rated 4.9 out of 5 based on 1401 reviews of 1401 pros.
