Alaa H. says, "I reached out to a couple of people to get a quote and decided to go with VIK. His pricing was extremely fair, his schedule was very flexible and it was a no brainer. When he arrived on the day we scheduled I told him to get creative since my fence was completely ruined from the strong winds as well as my door ( ruined to the point of most likely having to replace it ) I told him I didn’t want to do that and was hoping he can come up with a solution that was more cost effective and he delivered with flying colors.. he ended up reinforcing the fence in a genius way! To the point where I will not be having any more fence problems.. the neighbor was so impressed that he came out and asked what other services he offers and hired him on the spot. He does electrical as well as a handful of other things. I would hire again in a heart beat! If you need anything done, call VIK You won’t regret it trust me"See more

Brittany G. says, "He did a great job putting up a triangle shade sail in my backyard. It took some critical thinking to get the points attached. He was able to figure out what hardware would be best in certain places and the right spacing. He did the job really quickly in my opinion, he wasn't wasting any time which was appreciated. He also hung some string lights for me. I loved the look so much I purchased two more shades and asked him to come back out and put those up. I'm really impressed with the job and professionality. He brought all the right supplies even without stopping by to look at the space. He was kind enough to pick up the wood posts (for an agreed upon fee). He clearly has some construction skills under his belt. I really appreciate honesty, if someone can't do the job, just admit you can't do it, I've had several "handymen" try and "YouTube" projects... He definatley knows what he is doing, and appeared confident and competent with his skills. Very impressed, looking forward to other projects with him."See more

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

How much does a licensed electrician cost per hour?

An electrician’s average hourly rate is $75, but this price can range from $45-$120, depending on the complexity of the job and the materials needed. The total cost will also vary depending on how long your job takes and if the electrician charges for travel time.

Your location may also be a factor in determining the hourly rate of performing electrical work on your home. To get an accurate estimate of how much electrical work will cost you, contact the best electricians near you to receive free quotes.

What do I need an electrician for?

Electricians can help with a variety of electricity-related jobs around your home. If you have a new home, they can install new wiring throughout. Or if you have an old home, they can help with wiring repair. 

If your lights keep flickering, circuit breakers seem to be faulty, or outlets don’t have any power, electricians can assist in sorting out the problem. Your house is full of electrical circuits, wiring and sockets that may need repair or updating. These tasks can be safely completed by electricians in your area.

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

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.

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.

Do electricians offer remote or virtual services?

While electrical work is typically performed in person, you may come across some electrician profiles that state the pro is offering remote services. If you do, contact local electricians to discuss your particular project and what type of remote services they may offer.

The electrician performed a pumpkin cut in order to put in the electrical outlet. He assured me he had a guy who would fix the pumpkin cut. I have emailed the the electrician twice, called the guy the electrician said would fix the cut. The work was performed on 2/19/22 and it has not been fixed. Further, I noticed the ceiling in the bathroom was damaged and when I brought it to the electrician’ s attention; he replied by saying he do not see the damage. The ceiling was not damaged prior to the electrician going into the attic to do the work.

Electrician, Saman did an excellent job installing two light fixtures in my house. When I contacted Saman, he text me right away, and we scheduled an appointment. He knew exactly how to approach the problem, and explain to me in detail how he was gonna to install my lights. If your looking for electrician who is professional, punctual, and hard-working, Saman is your man.
