Do electricians offer free estimates?

How do I find a nearby electrician to hire?

Start by searching online to find licensed electricians in your area. After researching and finding potential candidates:

  • Compare at least three free estimates from reputable electricians.
  • Select electrical companies that are licensed, bonded, and experienced.
  • Verify their insurance, worker’s compensation, and bond guarantees.
  • Look at their reviews on HomeGuide and Google.
  • Ask about their warranties and guarantees.
  • Ask for a written contract, warranty, and detailed estimate.
  • Be cautious of cheap electricians as quality may suffer.

After asking questions and verifying their credentials, hire the most qualified and affordable electrician near you.

What questions should I ask a local electrician?

The best residential electrical contractors are licensed, bonded, insured, and provide free estimates.

When looking for the best electrician, ask the following questions:

  • Are you licensed?
  • How long have you been in business?
  • Is your electrical work insured or bonded?
  • How much will my project cost? Can I get a written estimate?
  • Do you offer a warranty or guarantee?
  • Will you be performing the work or someone else?
  • What permits do I need, and will you pull them?

Can I do electrical work myself?

Doing your own electrical work without a license is not recommended. Even small, simple electrical problems can be dangerous and lead to harming yourself or your home. Licensed electricians have specialized training to perform work safely without damaging your home.

Reviews for San Francisco electricians

Recent success stories from people in the San Francisco area.
Kaylie E.
I needed a new door installed last minute in a space thats very small and the door space is a lot smaller than the average door space it has to be a custom sized door so I knew I needed help and Ryan not only came through with the job, but also exceeded my expectations. From the initial measurement of the door space to the final installation, Ryan was professional, efficient, and had a great work ethic. He arrived on time and was able to assess the space quickly and accurately. He then returned with a new high-quality door cut to size and already painted the next day. Ryan's attention to detail was evident in his work. He took the time to ensure that the door was installed perfectly before finishing the job. His craftsmanship was top-notch and I am beyond satisfied with the end result. Not only was Ryan skilled at his work, but he also had a great attitude throughout the entire process. He was friendly, easy to communicate with, and made sure to clean up the work area before leaving. I highly recommend Ryan for your handyman needs and most definitely will remember him for any future jobs I may need. His dedication and expertise are unmatched and I am grateful for his last-minute help. Thank you, Ryan

While I have to call around or text to get a quote, Walter called me, and offer me a good deal. He came before the scheduled time, very nice, honest, and patient. He knows exactly what to do, and patiently explained what is the problem, and we really appreciate it. Great service, and we definitely will use his service on our next projects.
