I need an electrical estimate to rewire the ceiling fan in our living room and rewire the breaker box in our shed.

Change light fixture in foyer - ceiling is 22 feet high. Change light fixture in kitchen over table - ceiling is 10 feet tall. Add two new lights over kitchen island where there is currently no lights- will probably be able to tie into light over kitchen table.

Electrician - Electrician Questions
1.00What is the difference between an industrial electrician and a construction/maintenance electrician?
Q.Please help, and thank you
A.Industrial electrician is more machine focused, large tools, lasers, that kind of thing. A construction electrician is more of a focus on wiring, building and similar. The two fields over lap, someone experienced in one can do a lot in the other, at least the ones I've known.
1.00Can an electrician be licensed and NOT insured and bonded?
Q.We are building a home in OREGON and the electrician that my boyfriend hired said he was licensed but NOT bonded and insured. Will we still be able to pass inspection?
A.Yes, some places do not require an electrician to be insured, in order to be licensed. A lot of places, actually. And I don't know of any that require an electrician to be bonded.
Hmm. Aside from payment and performance bonds, I've never even insured an electrician, for bonds. And I've written A LOT of contractors.
The inspection, it doesn't matter AT ALL if the electrician is licensed, they only want the work to be done right. The reason you need the electrician to be licensed, is to pull the permits for you.
Now, don't get me wrong - I think it's DUMB to hire an electrician with no insurance. If he crosses wires wrong, and burns the house down, you're screwed.
1.00How do you find a good electrician?
Q.Did anybody hire a residential electrician recently? If yes, how did you decide which electrician to trust to? I live in Seattle area and even simple local Google search return 250+ electrical contractors in the radius of 25 miles. This market is oversaturated here. How do I choose?
What are the things I should consider before hiring an electrician?
Thanks.
A."Word of mouth" can be a good option. I have a good friend who is an electrician in the Seattle area. He may be too busy. If not I think you would be fortunate to be able to hire him. You can email me with/for more information.
In hiring any contractor you can rely on reputation and how you relate to that particular contractor.
1.00Electrician?
Q.I need some electrical work done. It's pretty simple work like changing outlets to current standards. How do I find out if an electrician is licensed or if he has had any problems? I live in the state of Rhode Island. Is there anything else I should be looking for?
A.Sure,
ask the electrician if he is licenced,
id
is he reputable one
how many years has he been doing this work
if they had complaints from customers
how much they charge an hour
how long it will take
Q.I need an reliable electrician/handyman to partner with me in fixing up some of my properties I own throughout the Southwestern parts of Michigan. I would appreciate it, if someone could recommend one to me.
Regard,
Deb S.
A.Hi Deb,
I'm personally a do-it-yourself kind of girl, but with electrical work I agree you should leave it up to the pros. A friend of mine was really pleased with the electrician who installed their new furnace. The electrician was pretty affordable considering what needed to be done, but you should give this company a try - at least get a free estimate from them. Check them out at this website: http://www.ace-electrician.info My friend also mentioned they have a 15% OFF coupon on the site as well.
Cheers,
Tina
1.00Can you hire a plumber and electrician without going through the contractor?
Q.My first contractor flaked out and never gave me an estimate after I spent hours explaining to the plumber and electrician what I wanted done. Now I am trying to get the plumber and electrician's estimates and have them lined up to work on a specific date. "Professional courtesy" because the bid was under the flakey contractor has impeded the process. I want to save the "surcharge" my contractor would charge and just hire the plumber and electrician by myself. Why is this so hard? What is the secret code to get this done??!! I want to save myself the money, especially since the bids are already done and they know what I want/need done!
A.Yes of course you can! But if they are the general contractors sub contractors they might not feel right about doing it without the contractor. If this is the case, go through your local phone book or a home improvement book (they usually have them for free in the super markets) and find a LICENSED and INSURED plumber and electrician.
1.00What if an electrician did a job, and he only charged for materials?
Q.Suppose an electrician did a job, and he only charged the customer for what he paid for materials, as a reimbursement, and did not charge anything for labor?
A.In my opinion he would be the most popular electrician in town.
1.00Do i need to a licensed electrician when I have a permit for electric work?
Q.Part of my house burned down so we're rebuilding using our own resources and help of friends with experience in building. My question is, does the electrician I hire need to have a license(in CA)? We're working on getting a permit but I would like to know everything ahead of time. The person we are planning on hiring knows all the codes and what he's doing but I want to know if it will keep us from getting passed.
A.You will need a licensed electrician to approve the for in order for it to pass regulations.
