    "I hired Austin to install an EV charger in my garage. Austin was very attentive, coming out on my schedule to do a quick walkthrough of the garage and give me an estimate. I found his estimate to be very fair, and we scheduled a time this last weekend to have it installed. Austin gathered all information he needed and arrived on time to perform the job. Overall it took about 4.5 hours for him to run the conduit for the charger to the other side of the garage, and install the charger. The charger worked right off the bat, and the inspector just stopped by and said it was good work. Overall, I would recommend Austin to anyone looking to do electrical work in their home, and I will absolutely use him again."

    "Blue Flame employees are true professionals who have set the bar high. Compared to two other equivalent HVAC companies, Blue Flame is better in every way! Blue Flame was one of three companies from which I received a quote for the installation of a heat pump and furnace. I made the request for bids via each company’s website all within one weekend. Two of the companies replied within a couple days, to nearly a week later. Blue Flame was the first to call, almost immediately during their next business day. They were able to get somebody over to my house as soon as I was available. This contrasted greatly with the other companies where appointments were not available for many days or weeks. Before the day of the quote, the Blue Flame office called and informed me that their representative would be there within 30 minutes of the window that was originally set up. Then, the representative himself called to let me know he was on his way. It was like a notification sandwich! This became the routine every time they visited. The Blue Flame representative was extremely knowledgeable and walked me through every nuance of what I was asking for. He conducted his introduction and then went immediately around the house, into the attic (where the furnace is located), into the garage to inspect the power panel, and all through the house to identify the heating registers. He was extremely clean. Before entering the house, he put on protective covers over his shoes. He took them off when he entered the garage and put them right back on before coming back in. I mention this because the other companies which provided quotes did not do this. Also, after he left the attic, some of the blown installation fell down onto the carpet. I told him not to worry about it; I would vacuum it up. He insisted on vacuuming the little mess and went and grabbed his own vacuum! Once again, this compares to the other companies who made a mess and did not clean it. In fact, one company asked to borrow my ladder to access the attic! He spent a lot of time discussing how Blue Flame does an install. The attention to detail that he was claiming was exactly the level that he was demonstrating by his awareness of cleanliness while accessing different areas within my house. He spent nearly two hours in my house explaining every aspect that I asked…and I asked a million questions. He provided an on-the-spot quote for the budget that I was trying to stay within. Then, at around 8:30 that same evening, he followed up with a formal quote via email. I couldn’t believe he was still working … that guy deserves a raise! While waiting for the other company bids, I asked follow up questions via email. The Blue Flame representative would reply or call nearly immediately, as if my question was more important than anything else he was doing. Needless to say, Blue flame won the bid, hands down – and not just due to t"

    "I recently had the EV Guys team install a Tesla charger at my home and I couldnâ t be more pleased with the service. The team was incredibly professional and efficient from start to finish. They not only executed the installation flawlessly but also recommended the perfect spot in my garage for the charger, allowing for 360-degree access. This strategic placement has made it incredibly convenient for me to charge my vehicle. Their attention to detail and thoughtful approach to the installation process truly stood out. I highly recommend EV Guys to anyone looking to install an EV charger at home. Great job, team!"

    "Before deciding to go with someone a little cheaper I recommend considering the quality of service you would receive by paying a little more. My water heater began leaking one evening so I put it into home advisor. The next morning Hart s called me about getting a quote done and they came to do an estimate that day. They wouldn t give me a price over the phone and some people may not like that, but because of this they were able to give me a 100% accurate quote with no surprises. I could have had the water heater installed the same day but I had other quotes coming in that I wanted to consider. That night I told them I would like to give them my business and scheduled an appointment after putting half down. This was a little strange to me, but I had the money so it didn t bother me. The next day Chris Phillips came out to install the water heater and I could not be happier with his work. He is an absolute professional with a lot of experience under his belt. He kept me informed of everything he was doing and gave me some insight as to why as well. He helped me understand my system better and even pointed out things that he thought may need attention soon. At the end of it all I had a brand new water heater with almost no time without hot water. He also installed a pressure reducing valve and a new hose bib. The quality of his work is exceptional and looks very neat and clean in my garage. Overall I don t think I could have asked for a better experience with an otherwise stressful situation. I will absolutely be calling them back for any of my plumbing needs and I will be recommending them to everyone I know. I am very thankful that I went with them even though they were a little more expensive than the other companies who contacted me."

    "Tripped Electric upgraded our main service panel in our barn, and trenched a new 100-amp sub-panel to our shop. Every electrician on site was knowledgeable, and smiled even though I asked them a million questions. PUD disconnect, rewire/upgrade, Snohomish County L&I inspection, PUD service re-connected, back up and running in 2 days! I went out and bought a lotto ticket, who the hell gets PUD on site 2 days in a row?! (No disrespect PUD, all the linemen were super cool.) Seriously though, for any local electrical needs, residential or commercial, I highly recommend calling Tripped Electric. Reminds you of the good ol' days when local businesses actually gave a crap about their customers."

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.
