How Electrical Pricing Works
Service Call Fees
The standard service call fee is $185. This fee may be waived or applied toward the total cost when you approve the work.
Hourly Labor Rates
Hourly electrical work typically ranges from $150–$195 per hour, with a one-hour minimum. This includes labor, tools, and standard safety practices.
