How much does an electrician cost before any work starts?
Most callers want a price before they book. Our call center gives you an estimate on the first call, and the figures below show where our prices start. Each one is a starting price; your cost may differ.
| Job | Starting price | What it covers | Quote type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Home visit | $100 per visit | About the first hour; parts extra | Booked visit |
| Circuit breaker replacement | $100 per job | One standard breaker or a simple breaker fix | Free quote |
| Electrical panel repair | $150 per job | Minor part or connection repair with easy access | Quote or diagnostic visit |
| Panel upgrade or replacement | $800 per job | Simple 100-amp replacement; a standard 200-amp upgrade starts around $1,300 | Free quote |
| Panel installation | $1,200 per job | Basic new 100-amp main panel | Free quote |
| EV charger installation | $750, labor only | Basic home Level 2 install; about $1,200 with charger and materials | Free quote |
| Rewiring | $5 per sq. ft. | About $5,000 for 1,000 sq. ft., before restoration | Free quote |
| Commercial electrical | $100 per hour | Basic labor; minimum booking hours may apply | Quote or diagnostic visit |
| Emergency electrician | $150 per hour | A low-end after-hours labor rate, not a full repair price | Booked by our call center |
Is the quote free, or do I pay for a diagnostic visit?
Many callers tell us another company estimates for free, so they ask why they should pay us. The honest answer depends on the job.
Defined, higher-end work
Free quotes are for defined, higher-end work: circuit breaker replacement, panel upgrades, panel installation, EV charger installation and rewiring. You tell us what you want, and we price it.
When nobody knows why
A diagnostic visit is different. When something is wrong and nobody knows why, an electrician has to find the cause first. That visit can carry a charge. It varies and is usually under $50. Ask when you call, and we will tell you what applies to your job.
Can an electrician come today?
Same-day appointments are often available, depending on electrician availability. Our call center is open around the clock, so you can book at any hour.
If you call, a live person picks up right away. If you send the form instead, we aim to call you back within five minutes. Emergency work starts at $150 per hour, which is a low-end after-hours labor rate and not a full repair price.
What happens after I call?
You reach our call center. A live person answers right away, or calls you back after you send the form.
You get a time slot and a price estimate, and we talk through what is going on.
You book with us. If your plans change, we adjust the timeline.
A licensed and insured electrician visits, inspects the problem or project and explains what they find.
If you accept, the work starts at that visit, or you can book it for a later date.
Which electrical services can I book?
Electrical Panel Installation
A new panel or service upgrade for a home or business.
Electrical Panel Repair
Breaker and connection problems inside a panel you already have.
Is Electric Wire Services licensed and insured?

How do we compare with other electricians?
Here is what each company says on its own website, last checked October 2026. We picked five electricians that appear repeatedly in searches for electricians in our cities. Yes means the company states it on its website. Not confirmed means we could not find it there; it does not mean the company lacks it.

What is really behind a resetting oven clock, a humming fan or a lamp that shocks?
The symptom is rarely the whole story. Here is what our electricians found on three ordinary calls.
The oven clock kept resetting
A service neutral was fluctuating, so the cause was the supply and not the oven. We coordinated a utility repair alongside the building-side work, and the voltage returned to normal.
The bathroom fan hummed
Its failed motor was drawing too much current. We corrected the mounting first, then renewed the unit so the same part would not fail again. Ventilation resumed.
The wall lamp gave a light shock
Its metal body had no bonding. We corrected the connection, and the protective checks passed.
The symptom is only the starting point. We separate a building supply problem from a damaged appliance before deciding what needs repair. Our work addressed an oven clock reset: we coordinated a utility repair.
- A tip from these jobs note which rooms lose power together before you call.
What do customers say about Electric Wire Services?
Our 11 California Google listings are rated between 4.8 and 5, with about 628 reviews in total.
“A breaker box buzzing noise was concerning. The technician fixed loose connections and replaced worn parts. The noise is gone now.”
“Had them upgrade my panel while juggling the kids, didn’t take long and no more random breaker trips. Guy knew what he was doing even with me barely paying attention.”
“Tried to install the fan myself and gave up after an hour. They showed up, sorted it in 20 minutes, and now it works perfectly.”
What do callers ask us most?
Are you a local company or a call center?
Both parts matter. Our call center answers your call and books the visit, and a licensed and insured electrician comes to your property.
What if my city is not on your list?
Call or send the form. We cover four states, and our call center will confirm whether we can reach your address.
Do you work on businesses as well as homes?
Yes. Commercial electrical work starts at $100 per hour, with minimum booking hours possible. Tell us what the business needs when you call.
Part of my home has no power and the utility says its side is fine. Who fixes it?
Tell us what the utility said. A fault can sit on the supply side or inside the building. In one of our jobs a service neutral was fluctuating, and we coordinated a utility repair with our own work.
Can you install an EV charger?
Yes. A basic home Level 2 install starts at $750, labor only, or about $1,200 with the charger and materials. It is a free quote job, and your cost may differ.
