    "Totally pleased with Mister Sparky's technician, who arrived on time, completed the work expeditiously, cleaned up after work was completed and didn't charge me an arm and leg to complete the job. Things are really tough right now with inflation and I live on social security, so I was actually afraid to have the work done, even though I knew it had to be done. Thank you for not over charging me and for the technician Christine, who was not only proficient, but congenial. I will recommend definitely recommend your company. If you send me a business card, I will post it on our bulletin board at the club house."

    "This is a top-quality electrical contractor. They responded within an hour to my call. I had water in my circuit breaker panel, the main breaker was tripping, and wires were burning. The cause of water intrusion was substandard work by AAA Modern Air when they replaced my roof A/C allowing rainwater to enter the junction boxes on the roof and flood into my breaker panel inside my home. GARAY repaired and sealed the roof j-boxes, replaced the incorrect conduit and fitting that AAA Modern Air installed- material not meant for use in outdoor electrical applications. How this crap work by AAA Modern Air passed the Hollywood code electrical inspection is concerning. GARAY replaced a burned circuit breaker and burned wiring. I picked this company at random, and they exceeded my expectations for quality of work, work ethic, and they are customer centered, and great guys. They are also an Air Conditioning Service company, a great combination of competencies. GARAY is a Broward County licensed contractor. Their rates are incredible, meaning not typical for our region of South Florida. My requirements were for emergency work, I need you now! What qualifies me to write this honest review. I am a retired engineer from a Florida electric utility, but too old now to climb ladders and crawl attics. I thank Home Advisor for listing this company."

    "Ok, this is going to be long but please read all the way through. I had requested quotes from 4-5 other pro's in order to install a generator transfer switch. Nick, the owner, responded early the next morning and in fact he was the ONLY one to respond. He came out personally to assess the job and actually advised me that it would be a better fit to change out the outdated panel to a unit that would be current and also have the transfer switch built in to the panel. They would also install a 50A inlet box for me to connect my portable generator. The all inclusive price was more than acceptable. We scheduled the job on the spot with no deposit and just on a handshake. That never happens anymore. It was a good feeling to be trusted for your word. Communication was excellent throughout. Now, on to the day of installation. Jeff Carroll was the lead guy on the job with an assistant. I can't say enough about this guy. Professional, knowledgeable, trustworthy, on time and he was a dog person (big plus). I left him alone in the house all day with no regrets. He did the job efficiently and had the power back on in a very reasonable time. And considering he was working in the dark, quite impressive. Due to the weather that day, he didn't complete the outside portion which was completely understandable as a tropical storm was moving through. This was on a Friday. We had settled on a day early next week for the completion of the outside work. I texted him Saturday to thank him for the work the previous day and he asked if he could stop by today. He spent 3 hours or so on his Saturday to complete my install. A great guy and whatever he's getting paid, it's not enough. Awesome experience all around and if you're not at least considering these guys for your project you're doing yourself a disservice. They will absolutely be the first people I call for any future work and I will request Jeff. Thanks again!"

    "New 16kw backup generator installed 04/23/2020. Stellar customer service!!! Today two technicians arrived at our home not long after I called relative to a possible LP gas leak. Once again they were knowledgeable, courteous and professional. They took time carefully reviewing our newly installed 16kw backup generator and all connections leading thereto. They competed the repair, checked for leaks, ran the unit and cleaned up afterwards. When customers receive service like this, coupled with courteous professional and knowledgeable people, this company is 2nd to none. I can honestly say this company has been a pleasure to do business with and I will certainly recommend to anyone looking for such service. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. David & Angela Ortiz Lehigh Acres, FL."

    "WOW is how I will start my review, You have choices when you need electrical service for your home, We chose Rack Electric and it was the smart choice for us! We recently had Electrical work done at our home. We were met with outstanding customer service when we called Rack Electric. We were scheduled and the tech arrived the next day! The technician sent a text to let us know he was on his way, he arrived on time! He not only addressed the reason we called which was to install a exhaust fan in our bathroom, he also went up and beyond and informed us about some additional issues that we should fix as well, he presented us with a estimate, it was fine and he got everything fixed and installed that day. We are so happy that we contacted Rack Electric and want to say thank you for everything you did in our home. We are a customer for life! SJZ/DRB"

    "They are exceptional in that they really care about their customers. They installed a large number of generators in my community and he came back to check on the generator to make sure everything was functional and working properly after the hurricane hit to make sure it was working properly - not just my generator but every single one he installed. To this day his pricing on the most common generator people use in our community is anywhere from $1500-2500 less than the competition."

How much do electricians typically cost?

  • West Palm Beach, Florida Average
    $347
  • Typical Range
    $160 - $506
  • Low End - High End
    $92 - $1,100

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.
