We take great pride in our experience, expertise, quality, and customer service that we provide to meet the consumer’s needs. It is our mission to provide excellent workmanship and complete customer satisfaction from start to completion of a project. In order to understand the needs and expectations of our customers, we take great care to work and communicate with every customer in a professional manner. Our reputation is based on service, safety, and quality, regardless of how large or small the job. We have consistently focused on the needs of our customers, providing personalized attention and a stress-free experience.

"I got in contact with Electric Doctor through Home Advisor. The only issue I wanted them to address was that my lights "pulsed" or flickered. They were prompt in addressing my inquiry and had a tech out to diagnose. I scheduled the work to be done on March 21. FYI: Cost to come out for an estimate is $49. I knew that going in. I opted to have some additional work done; have my furnace put on it's own circuit, have an outlet created for my refrigerator and have the main wires that come in from the meter to the breaker replaced. At the time, they recommended a grounding system be installed, but I said I did not want that done (it was $550). The day the work was done, the electrician (Rod) called me and said they *had* to install the grounding system, as the inspector from the City of Bettendorf said it was necessary. He did give me a discount of $100, making the total for the whole house grounding system $450. My total bill was $1575 after all was said and done. I was floored. I was also overcharged by $181. I called that same day and the $181 refund is pending (it cleared). I have no idea where that extra amount came from. There was debris left behind; wood shavings in several places, three unused circuits left inside the breaker box along with plastic pieces, some small pieces of copper wire on the floor and one piece of insulation that was not put back. I had about 1 hour of cleanup after the electrician left my home. The original issue I called about? Still happening. Several of my light fixtures are still pulsing. I attempted to correspond with the owner, Jeff Lanum, about the following issues/questions via email: 1) My issue is not resolved. I still have lights that pulse/flicker. What are my options? 2) Can you supply documentation that shows that I HAD to have the grounding system installed? (edit: I did end up calling the city about this and the city electrical inspector did indeed say this was LAW that this had to be put in. Kinda surprised the Electric Doctor didn't know that. I would have never agreed to any of the work done knowing I HAD to have a $500 system installed - it wasn't in the budget) 3) I have a giant copper wire that runs from my heater to ??? What is this? 4) A mess was left behind. There were wood shavings in several places; top of plastic yarn bins, in some of the yarn, on top of the water heater, behind the plastic bins, near the breaker panel. There were also three disconnected circuits left in the breaker panel along with a lot of debris. 5) What circuit was the HVAC system put on? I got one response from Jeff, and then he stopped writing me back. I never did get him to come back out to answer my questions nor tell me when it would be a good time to call. I don't have the time to chase someone down, but I can say with certainty that I will NOT recommend the Electric Doctor to anyone who needs work done."

Subcontracting services FAQs

One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.

Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. 

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: 

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • 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

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • 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.

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.
