Are the electricians licensed and insured?

We connect you with independent electrical contractors. We do not employ them and we do not vouch for their licence or insurance. Electrical licensing is issued state by state — and in some places city by city — so a contractor licensed in one state is not automatically permitted to work in the next. Ask any contractor for their licence number and proof of insurance, and check the licence with your state licensing board before you agree to work.

How much does an electrician cost?

It depends far more on the job than on the hour. Small work like an outlet or a fixture is usually a flat rate. Larger work — a panel upgrade, a rewire, a generator — is quoted from a site visit because the price is driven by what is behind the wall, how far the run is, and what the permit requires. Every price range shown on this site is an estimate. Ask each contractor for a written quote before you agree to any work.

Do I really need a permit?

For anything that changes the service, adds circuits, or is inspected work — yes, and it protects you rather than the contractor. Unpermitted electrical work reliably resurfaces at the worst moment: a home sale, a refinance, or an insurance claim after a fire. A contractor who offers to skip the permit is transferring their risk to you.

How fast can someone get here?

That depends on the contractor and the job. For an emergency, calling is fastest. Scheduled work varies: a service call is usually days, a panel upgrade waits on the utility disconnect, and a generator waits on the unit. Ask each contractor for a realistic timeline when they quote.

What counts as an electrical emergency?

Anything with a fire or shock risk: a burning smell, visible arcing or sparks, a panel or outlet that is hot to the touch, exposed conductors, water reaching electrical equipment, or a service mast pulled away from the building. Losing power to one room is not an emergency, and you should not be charged emergency rates for it.

Can I request commercial or industrial work, or only home work?

All three. They are genuinely different trades — a residential service electrician and an industrial controls technician do not do each other's work well — so tell us which it is and the request goes to contractors who do that kind of work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Any guarantee or warranty comes from the contractor you hire, not from us. Ask for it in writing before you agree: how long it lasts, what it covers, and what the manufacturer's separate warranty covers on equipment.

Where can I send a request?

From anywhere in the United States. How quickly someone responds depends on how many contractors work near you: in dense metros it is usually quicker, in rural areas it can take longer, and occasionally no one is available. We would rather say that than promise otherwise.
