Binta F. says, "My husband and I recently purchased a home from abroad, and we hired Jon to install a comprehensive security system entirely remotely. Despite us not being physically present, Jon was able to expertly configure everything and ensure it worked seamlessly! Jon went above and beyond—he not only recommended the entire system but also coordinated the delivery of over 25 devices, including indoor and outdoor cameras, smart locks, sensors, and smoke/carbon detectors. He brought all the equipment to the house and handled the installation with great care. We are now able to see every corner of the home from our phones thousands of miles away. We are absolutely thrilled with the setup and couldn’t be happier. Jon was professional, friendly, and incredibly easy to work with. We highly recommend him to anyone in need of this kind of service. Thank you, Jon, for your outstanding work!"See more

Wiring Installation

Dave H. says, "I would definitely use him again. He successfully replaced an Ethernet cable run from my family room to my office, which went through the basement and spanned about 80 feet. I needed to replace a failed Cat 5 cable and requested that he to install a Cat 8 cable instead. I was "future-proofing" my cable run. It took him three trips to get it working, and I was very impressed with his perseverance. This was his first residential Cat 8 cable run, and he had to work out a few bugs, but he stuck with it and succeeded in the end. Despite needing additional cable and different terminations, the price I was charged never changed. He is honest and committed to completing a job successfully. Bottom line, I would use him again and recommend him as well."See more

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

Do electricians do free estimates?

Yes, they do. Whether you’re looking for new electrical work or wiring repair, the electrician should offer you a free estimate. 

Go online to find the best electricians near you. After researching and finding a few pros who seem qualified for your job, go ahead and request a quote to find out how much those electricians will charge you.

How do I hire an electrician?

Go online to find a list of the best electricians in your area. View each individual electrician’s profile and learn more about their services and expertise. Then, read reviews from satisfied customers as well as any issues they may have encountered. This will help you find one with the right experience to work safely in your home.

You should also spend some time researching what qualifications and credentials they have. You might find information about their license on their profile, or you might need to check your local and state government’s website to verify their license. 

Once you’ve done a bit of research, ask to receive free estimates from several electricians in your area. Ultimately, hire the most qualified electrician who can complete your project at a reasonable price.

How much does it cost to have someone hang your Christmas lights?

It will likely cost between $200 and $400 to hire someone to hang your Christmas lights and holiday decorations. For an accurate cost estimate, ask installers near you to give you a price quote. Let them know if you need them to supply the lights, how many you want to hang and other details about this project.

Is it worth it to hire an electrician?

Yes, it's usually worth it to hire an electrician instead of doing the work yourself.

Electrical work can be very dangerous. The pros spend many years working and studying before they become licensed and certified. That knowledge and training can help them work safely and perform the job without harming themselves or your home. 

Even a small wiring repair job can be unsafe if not done correctly. Hiring someone that has specialized training on how to do each specific job is the safest choice.

What questions should I ask an electrician?

Here are a few questions you should ask any electrician you’re considering hiring:

  • Are you licensed or certified? A professional electrician should have this information ready and up to date. 
  • Do you have any references? Ask for references to learn about their work history from previous customers. You may be able to look online at reviews, but it’s also good to speak to someone to find out their experience with this electrician. 
  • What types of services do you offer? Whether you need repairs or installation services, make sure the electrician can perform the work you need.
  • How long will the job take? This will help you set expectations and rearrange your schedule (if needed).
  • Can you send me free estimates? Request a job quote or estimate. This will help with comparing different electricians. The numbers may vary, but be sure to factor in the experience of each person, as well as the scope of electrical work you’re asking about.

Contact the best electricians near you today to start receiving free estimates for your project.

What is an ethernet switch?

An ethernet switch (also called a network switch) is your central station that connects your computers, printers and other devices so they communicate with each other. 

When should you hang Christmas lights?

There’s no set rule of when you should or shouldn’t hang your Christmas lights. Some homeowners wait until after Halloween or Thanksgiving. Others may choose to hang them a few weeks before Christmas or at the beginning of December. 

What do you use to hang Christmas lights outside?

If you want to hang up Christmas lights (or other holiday light fixtures) outdoors, you’ll need the following: 

  • Christmas and holiday lights
  • Extension cords
  • Gloves
  • Gutter clips
  • Ladder
  • Power stakes
  • Tape measure 

Instead of hanging the Christmas lights yourself, you can hire a professional installer to take care of this project for you.

What is the best way to hang Christmas lights on your house?

The best way to hang Christmas lights on your house is to use some type of light clip (sometimes called gutter clips). To help ensure your safety, however, consider hiring a professional installer who has experience with hanging Christmas lights, handling electrical cords and using ladders.

How many feet of Christmas lights do you need for a house?

You’ll need to measure your house to figure out how many Christmas lights you need. Some homeowners may want to start with 60 feet of lights — or 200 feet. You can take the guesswork out of it by hiring a professional installer or handy person to help you measure and install your lights.
