"A lot of issues with power surges in my house. Dan came out on a Saturday and spent about an hour diagnosing my problem. He told me that my electrical panel would need to be replaced (not a big surprise as it was almost 50 years old) He had an emergency call for a medical office and had to leave. Promised that he would be back in two or three hours. He came back as promised but said that he had called around and would not be able to get the parts that he would need for my job until Monday. He was able to set up my panel to safely get me through the weekend. He gave me an estimate for the work. Came back on Monday and replaced my electrical panel. Final bill was $50 above estimate. I was very happy with the cost but the work he does is excellent. This is the second project that he has done for me. I would without reservation recommend him. Suoer nice guy."

At Amp Flow Electric Inc. we are focused primarily on the costumer , talking and leaning what kind the problems they encounter and making sure whatever electrical issues they have will be gone when we walk out the door . from solar , new installations to old work , residential or commercial, we are the right professionals for the job with 20 years on the field as electricians.

"Moises and his team essentially rewired my entire 2400 sqft 1850's home, replacing old wiring, adding new outlets, switches, lights, etc. It was a big job. He was great to work with, very professional and reliable. We checked in on progress and the plans for the day almost every day and he was very flexible when we decided to make changes (which happened multiple times). He worked closely with the town inspector to make sure everything was up to code. We were also living in the same space that needed work and he and his team were good about covering things up and minimizing dust as much as possible. I would hire him again if I ever needed anything new added and highly recommend him for any of your electrical needs."

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: 

  • 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.
