"Christian Zimbone presented a very competitive bid on our project to upgrade our electric service and installation of an electric car charger. He came in on budget and did a phenomenal job. Everything neat, clean, and 100 professional looking. He was very responsive, informative, and very friendly to work with. He knows his stuff! (...and we had several other estimates with varying dubious info). Highly recommend and will definitely hire again for any future needs."

"Joao was most professional and did outstanding work. I would hire him back in an instant and highly recommend him. He was quick, polite and very responsive. He returned my text messages within minutes! Had him back for two jobs and was most pleased. The work was done at my elderly parentsâ  home and his respect and treatment of my 92 year old parents was very special and most appreciated. Besides an excellent electrician, a good man."

"Buck and Wayne installed a mini split heating and cooling system in an attic bedroom/bath. The space was very tight and it took a lot of expertise and creativity on their part to hide all the piping. The outside unit mounted on the back of the house above a porch is a lot more visible than I thought it would be but they did everything they could to make it less intrusive. They arrived before 8 am and had to work outside in some bitter temperatures to install the outdoor unit. At the end of the day, Buck and Wayne took time to made sure that I knew how to operate the unit and that I could call if I had questions. I did a walk-through after they left and the rooms including the attic storage space were spotless. I would highly recommend them for any heating and cooling work you are considering."

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.
