Electrical Remodels
"Chris didn't sweep the floor of plaster residue where he cut hole in the wall for the switch. Also he apparently had to take an electrical picture off the wall in order to install switch but he could have hung the picture back up after the job was done. I'm a disabled elderly woman and now I'm unable to rehang the picture . I feel that Chris should have picked up after himself."

Electrical Installs and Repairs, Electrical Wiring, Telephone Systems
"I had multiple rooms going into one GFI breaker. I was tripping the breaker constantly as I had my office and living room plugged into the same breaker. I was unsure of whether there was any arcing going on so I called these guys up to test it out as I didn't have much plugged into the outlets. There wasn't any arcing as far as he could tell, but did install an additional breaker and cleaned up the wires in the panel; that relieved the tripping problem as it's been a week without a trip. The cost was affordable - $108 - and worth it as the guy was punctual, 8am on the dot and done by 9am. I'm sure I could've paid $75-$85, but I for that price I'm sure I'm wasting my time on a "be there between 8am to noon" crap I've dealt with in the past. Totally worth it."

Electrical, Ductless mini splits / heat pump installation (we are an official MRCOOL partner), Service Upgrades , and 3 more
"We bought an old house that needed some upgrades and Downeast was great from start to finish. I wanted some minisplits put in for better heating and ac, and they gave me different options that kept my budget and what I wanted in mind. They also did my service upgrade and were completely professional through the whole process. I ended up with some MRCOOL units that worked really well this winter. They've been great to work with."

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.
