What questions do I ask an electrician?

<div>It’s important to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/ask-electricians-5-questions-hiring.htm">ask an electrician a few questions</a> 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:<ul><li>Are you a full-time electrician?</li><li>Are you bonded, licensed, and insured?</li><li>What level of experience do you have as an electrician?</li><li>Can you please share three references?</li><li>Do you do residential or commercial electrical work?</li><li>What kinds of electrical work are you most familiar with?</li><li>Will any subcontractors be performing the work?</li><li>Are permits and inspections required?</li><li>Who is responsible for obtaining permits and inspections?</li><li>What is your schedule?</li><li>Do you offer a guarantee or warranty on your work?</li><li>Will you sign a do-not-exceed clause to keep the job within the budget?</li></ul></div>

Do you get quotes from electricians?

<div>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-verify-electricians-license.htm">verify each electrician’s license</a>. 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. </div>

How much do HVAC companies typically charge?

<div>The average cost to hire an HVAC contractor is between $50 and $150 per hour if charging hourly. However, some HVAC contractors will charge a flat fee by the type of service they are performing—for example, an inspection can cost between $150 to $500. Keep in mind that emergency repairs—which are made after business hours or around major holidays—generally cost more than scheduled repairs.</div>

Should HVAC technicians be certified or licensed?

<div>Yes, most states require <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/which-hvac-certifications-do-technicians-need.htm">HVAC technicians to be certified</a>, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed HVAC technician 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: <ul><li>The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check</li><li>Required to have applicable state and local licenses</li><li>Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review</li><li>Paying to advertise their services</li><li>Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi </li></ul>Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.</div>

They showed up on time, did an excellent job and we were happy with the service. The only thing that was tough was the price tag. It was very high.

Prompt, clear, accurate estimate; extremely knowledgeable about codes regarding older houses; excellent work and cleanup; great communication as the job progressed, and it went just as planned. Price better even than others with special buy.

Contractor showed up time, promptly completed work, and even gave me a recommendation for another contractor on a follow-up service needed. In retrospect, I wish I would have shopped in the store in advance and have a couple of exhaust fan options. The contractor had a limited supply of...

Initial bid for the minisplit system was slightly better than the bids I had received from other companies, and they were able to get to the installation very quickly once I decided to go with them. The bathroom fan installation was quite overpriced, but I decided to go with it just to get...

I came by Midwest Electric quite by accident. I set out to purchase an exhaust fan but I needed it installed. The store referred me to Midwest Electric. The technician met all of those required pluses... punctuality, professionalism and personalism. The final price was much less than first...

Oleg is a rare technician who operates with integrity and provides fair prices. We've been in this business for many years and he is one of the few that I can say I would vouch for him. He has done many projects for us and we will continue to work with Oleg. A+ and thank you.
