"I needed electrical work done on a pool panel and an outdoor Jacuzzi. I called a few electricians before I called Vaccarella Electric. I couldn't get a firm price from the other electricians and got a serious run around on how long the job would take. But when I called Roberto Vaccarella none of that happened. My first impression of Roberto was that he was professional and polite and very knowledgeable about what needed to be done. The next day after his initial visit I decided to go with his company. When I tried to arrange a time to meet with him to give him a down payment he said it wouldn't be necessary. I was shocked as I've never had a contractor do this for me before, my background is in real estate and I've dealt with many contractors over the years and this was the first time I experienced this. Roberto came several times to my home because of miscommunication with my pool contractor and never once requested a dime! His work was done thoroughly and affordably. I passed both town inspections and will definitely use him for future electrical jobs. In my book Vaccarella Electric deserves all Five stars!"

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.
