Frequently asked questions

How much does an electrician cost per hour?

Most electricians charge between $50-$130 per hour depending on the job complexity and your location. Emergency calls and after-hours work typically cost 1.5x-2x the standard rate.

Do I need a permit for electrical work?

Yes, most electrical work beyond simple fixture replacements requires a permit. Your electrician should pull the permit and schedule inspections as part of the job.

How do I know if my electrical panel needs upgrading?

Signs include frequently tripping breakers, flickering lights, burning smells near outlets, a panel over 25 years old, or if you are adding major appliances like EV chargers or hot tubs.

What is the difference between a licensed and unlicensed electrician?

Licensed electricians have passed state exams, carry insurance, and pull permits. Unlicensed work can void your insurance, fail inspections, and create fire hazards.

How long does it take to rewire a house?

A full house rewire typically takes 3-7 days depending on the size of the home, accessibility of wiring, and whether walls need to be opened.

Can I do my own electrical work?

Minor tasks like replacing light switches or outlets are generally allowed for homeowners, but anything involving the panel, new circuits, or 240V should be done by a licensed electrician.

What causes circuit breakers to keep tripping?

Common causes include overloaded circuits, short circuits, ground faults, outdated wiring, or a faulty breaker. If it happens frequently, have an electrician diagnose the issue.

How often should electrical systems be inspected?

Homes should have an electrical inspection every 3-5 years, or whenever you notice issues like flickering lights, warm outlets, or burning smells.

What is a GFCI outlet and where do I need them?

GFCI outlets protect against electrical shock by cutting power when they detect ground faults. They are required in bathrooms, kitchens, garages, outdoors, and near water sources.

How much does it cost to install a whole-house generator?

Whole-house generators typically cost $5,000-$15,000 installed, depending on size (7kW-22kW), fuel type, and the complexity of the transfer switch installation.
