Having served this community for many years as quality electrical contractors, we have come to understand the needs of customers for quality and experienced electrical repair services for both residential and commercial.
"The main reason I hired an electrician to run electric to a backyard shed is that I didn't want to dig the trench, and I wanted it inspected, so I wanted it done right the first time so that the process didn't drag on. The quality of the install and parts seemed ok, and they worked around an unforeseen block of concrete underground. Which was above and beyond. If the inspector had come out right away, and everything put back, it probably would have been fine. But the inspector (and Mr. electric) kept canceling and rescheduling appts. When he finally came out, we failed the inspection because the panel was only secured on one side. Mr Electric came out and secured the other side, but by doing so, the outside conduit got pushed away from the building, so now the pipe is curved and I had to add filler foam to keep the rain from coming inside. Then, when someone finally came out to fill in the trench, it had been a week and a half by this point and the rain had made a mess of the pile of dirt on the grass. I was left with sections of the trench that were too high AND other areas too low, and left-over dirt everywhere. I have spent considerable time trying to get my lawn back to some state of uniformity, but its still a mess. I would have thought they would have put down a tarp to put the dug-out grass and dirt on so that it could be put back easliy. And then, I would have expected the replaced dirt and grass to at least be even. I know this review is almost entirely about the inspector and their groundskeeping skills, but if you are running electric outside the main house, you'd have to be skilled in all the above."

"I couldn’t be happier with the incredible work done by Willamette Valley Electric! They rewired our entire house during a remodel and truly went above and beyond to ensure the job was completed on time—no small feat with a project this size.

Electrical services FAQs
It’s important to ask an electrician a few questions before you commit to hiring them so you can make an informed decision as a consumer. If you’re getting estimates or considering hiring an electrician, ask them these questions:
Are you a full-time electrician?
Are you bonded, licensed, and insured?
What level of experience do you have as an electrician?
Can you please share three references?
Do you do residential or commercial electrical work?
What kinds of electrical work are you most familiar with?
Will any subcontractors be performing the work?
Are permits and inspections required?
Who is responsible for obtaining permits and inspections?
What is your schedule?
Do you offer a guarantee or warranty on your work?
Will you sign a do-not-exceed clause to keep the job within the budget?
Tipping an electrician is not a requirement nor is it expected, as they build a fair wage into the price of the job. It’s up to your discretion. There are no set rules for tipping electricians, but if they did a great job and you’re so inclined to tip 10% to 15%, it will likely be received with thanks.
Yes, you should get a quote or an estimate from an electrician. Most electricians offer free estimates or quotes. When getting quotes, do your research and verify each electrician’s license. Get quotes from three different electricians to compare. If the prices or items listed appear different on the quotes, ask the electrician to clarify. Learning as much as you can about the electrical work you want done will help you get the most accurate estimate.
Qualified, licensed electricians will charge from $50 to $100 per hour. The cost to hire an electrician for emergency visits may range from $100 to $200 per hour because this urgent service usually takes place during off hours and may require an electrician to leave or reschedule jobs they’re currently working on. Scheduling work on holidays or during periods of high customer demand, like after a major storm, will also lead to higher rates or extra fees.
Yes, although there are different types of electricians, they must be licensed, certified, and in most cases insured. States have different requirements for electrician licensing and certifications. In some cases, there may be licensing requirements at the local level, but not the state level. It’s always a good practice to confirm requirements with your local municipality. If licensing is not required in your area, you may pay more for a licensed electrician with experience than one who is not licensed or certified, but you’re likely to get a better end result for your project.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:

Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
