Dave T. says, "Kevin did an excellent job. He was the only plumber out of 8 that was honest enough to give an estimate before coming to the house. No other plumber would even give a "ballpark price." The job required a bit of modification, which Kevin did without trying to charge extra. He messaged ahead and arrived on time. Good work and he is a friendly guy. I would definitely call K&M again."

Do electricians offer free estimates?

Yes, electricians do offer free estimates. Whether you need new electrical work or repairs, most reasonable electricians offer a free quote. To get an accurate and free estimate, research and contact professional electricians near you and share details about your electrical needs.

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.

Jennifer N.
Frank is amazing. He is experienced, knowledgeable and honest. His rates are extremely reasonable. Our electricity had been shutting off. He came over to check which part we needed. The next day was Thanksgiving and he came over in the morning to fix the problem. We haven't had any electrical issues since.

Kev is highly-professional and very responsible. I made a few online quotes about replacing my garbage disposal one day. Within an hour, Kevin called me and set up a time for appointment. He was able to identify the problem very quickly based the symptom i described, suggested me a few links and where to purchase a new one. He provided a accurate quote immediately. During the appointment, he helped to fix the problem within an hour. Overall excellent service. Would definitely recommend
