    "Lazar was excellent. He was able to fit me in the same day and he was very professional. He installed a lighting fixture for me. Once arriving on site we determined the installation needed to be customized a bit, so he needed to get a little creative. This was no issue for him. You can tell he has lots of experience with curveballs and thinking on his feet. Great job! Joe."

    "Didnâ t see much reviews when I hired Blue Electric but trusted my gut. I want to start by saying the customer service is SPECTACULAR! I spoke to Baker and he was very quick to understand what it was that I wanted done and made me feel very very confident that he was going to do the job right (this was very important for my husband and I). He was super patient and made sure to keep within our budget. We hired him to add spotlights throughout our house and to install electric outlets as well as adding light fixture to my outside fence and the job looks amazing and very professionally done! Had my first family bbq and I got so many compliments on the work heâ s done! I definitely recommend him !! You wonâ t regret hiring his team!"

    "Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value Vernon/Voltar Electric company is my savior! Vernon and his team came and rescued my job from a shoddy contractor that didn't know his left foot from his right when it came to renovating and electric. Vernon and his crew came in and troubleshooted the problem and gave me a fantastic outcome with all my issues resolved and at a reasonable price I might say. I had the job quoted by a company before Voltar Electric and the company wanted an astronomical amount of money. Needless to say they didn't get a call back. Vernon is a gentleman and man of his word who will do the best job that is possible for you. He went the extra mile to make sure everything was done complete and correct. You will not go wrong hiring Voltar Electric for your needs, you will have an amazing experience. I will be using Vernon/Voltar electric for all my future electrical needs and I highly recommend. You will not be disappointed. Services: Repair outlets or switches, Relocate outlets or switches, Install outlets or switches, Repair light fixtures, Installation, Install ground wire"

Frequently asked questions

  • An electrician’s cost per hour comes in between $50 and $100. It’ll vary depending on your location and the type or professional you hire. Areas with a higher cost of living can expect to pay on the higher end of that scale. Licensing level may also increase the price.
  • Usually you’ll pay a higher rate for the first hour. This covers their travel and time expense. Emergency or after-hours rates are usually higher too – expect to pay an emergency fee of up to $300 plus a higher hourly rate.

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.

  1. Do you have a license to perform electrical work in this state?
    All states require an electrical license or work performed under a Master Electrician. You should also ask how many on the job hours of experience they have.
  2. Do you have insurance?
    Never use one who isn’t insured. You can ask to see proof of insurance.
  3. Do you have prior work references?
    You might skip this for small jobs like installing a light or outlet. For larger projects, always get references.
  4. What are your rates?
    Always ask up front. Getting a detailed quote up front is the best way to go.
  5. Who is going to do the actual work?
    Often, a Master Electrician will come out to diagnose and bid on projects, but they have their apprentice and journeyman electricians do the work. This isn’t a terrible thing, in fact it’s common practice. The Master’s license is on the line with any work he supervises.
  6. Is your work warrantied or guaranteed?
    Any reputable company or contractor warranties their work, usually for at least a year.
  7. Are you usually on time?
    Overbooking is a frequent problem with electrical work. Often, a service call goes long, and they end up showing up at your home late. This common complaint is easily remedied with an up-front and honest discussion. If they can’t be on time, make sure they’ll call.

1. Don’t Be Misled by an Electrician’s Hourly Rates

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 Charges

Rates 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 Together

When 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 Arrives
  • Be as thorough and detailed in describing your needs to your contractor. The more they know, the quicker the job will go.
  • Before they arrive, prepare a precise list of items you want serviced. Electricians have budgeted their time for a service call. They don’t have time for additional requests once they are on site.
  • Make sure the electrical panel box is accessible. You’ll pay for the time it takes to access it.
  • Clear away fragile items, knickknacks and furniture from areas where you expect the them to work.
  • If you have questions about the project, ask them before they start. Most are happy to run you through the problem and the process of fixing it.
  • Ask about potential issues after the work is complete. During a service call a professional will spot any potential hazards.
  • You’ll lose power to parts of your home while they work. Be prepared to pause anything you’re doing during the service call.
  • In most cases you’ll have the option to either pay at the time of service or have a bill sent to you. You’ll be able to pay with cash, credit and sometimes check.
5. Install Money-Saving Electrical Fixtures
  • By switching from ordinary incandescent light fixtures or bulbs to fluorescent or LED ones, you can substantially reduce energy consumption in your home.
  • Motion detector switches can help you save money on outdoor lighting while at the same time providing very cost-effective security to your home.
  • Creative landscape lighting and indoor accent lighting can make your home more appealing to you, your guests and potential buyers in the future.
