        About Search Results

        About Search Results

        YP - The Real Yellow PagesSM - helps you find the right local businesses to meet your specific needs. Search results are sorted by a combination of factors to give you a set of choices in response to your search criteria. These factors are similar to those you might use to determine which business to select from a local Yellow Pages directory, including proximity to where you are searching, expertise in the specific services or products you need, and comprehensive business information to help evaluate a business's suitability for you. “Preferred” listings, or those with featured website buttons, indicate YP advertisers who directly provide information about their businesses to help consumers make more informed buying decisions. YP advertisers receive higher placement in the default ordering of search results and may appear in sponsored listings on the top, side, or bottom of the search results page.

        Tips & Advice

        How can I use electricity safely at home?

        Keep the following tips in mind:

        • Do not operate any electrical equipment while sitting or standing in water.
        • Don't overload extension cords or surge protectors.
        • Put caps on your electrical outlets if you have small children.
        • Call an electrician if you notice your sockets or switches are warm to the touch, discolored or if they make noise.
        • Keep electrical cords away from stoves, ovens and other sources of heat.
        • Do not use an appliance that has a frayed cord.
        • Do not staple extension cords into place or cover them with carpets or furniture.
        • When using extension cords, make sure to unwrap them before plugging them in.
        • Don't overuse extension cords. Have an electrician install extra outlets if you need a power source closer to you.
        • Only use light bulbs with the correct wattage for your lamps and light fixtures.
        • Contact a licensed electrician if you frequently blow fuses, since this can be a sign of an electrical wiring problem.
        • Have an electrician look at your fuse box to ensure you have the right size fuses and circuit breakers. The wrong size fuse or breaker can be a fire hazard.
        • If you have fault circuit interrupters installed in your electrical panel, make sure you test them at least once a month by turning them on and off.

        What is the cost of hiring an electrician?

        It can cost from $40-$100 an hour depending on the job. This does not include additional costs for parts or trip fees. Make sure to ask in advance what they charge for or if they will provide a free quote.

        What kind of training does an electrician need?

        In order to become a full-fledged professional, a person must undergo an apprenticeship with master and journeyman electricians. An apprentice needs 8,000 hours of practical work before graduating to the journeyman level. If an apprentice reaches journeyman status, he or she can complete most electrical work, but cannot design it until completing more testing along with 2,000 more on-the-job hours.

        Is there more than one kind of electrician?

        Yes. While all electricians need a license, not all of them do the same types of jobs.

        • Outside: These types of electricians work outdoors on electrical lines that connect to power plants.
        • Inside: Inside experts typically focus on commercial and industrial buildings that require a lot of power.
        • Residential: Residential electricians work with low-voltage systems and wiring to install fuse boxes and light fixtures.

        Should I be worried about comparatively low price estimates from an electrician?

        Watch out for contractors that greatly underbid other electricians. If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. Also, always remember to get the estimate in writing before settling on a company.

        What are the best ways to find an electrician?

        • Get referrals
        • Look online
        • Ask for a quote
        • Ask them about their experience
        • Be wary of suspiciously low estimates

        Does electrical work require a permit?

        Depending on what kind of repairs or installation you need, your city could require a permit for the electrical work. Ask your electrician if the job calls for one and have him or her put the permit under his or her name. Ensuring the tradesperson obtains a permit will safeguard you from any blame if the labor turns out to be subpar.

        Does an electrician need a warranty?

        Inquire if both the labor and parts the electrician uses are under warranty and how long the work is guaranteed for.

        Does an electrician need a business license?

        Both the electrician as well as the business he or she works for need licenses either issued by the state or local municipality.

        Does an electrician need to be insured?

        Many states require contractors to carry some form of insurance along with their license. Insist that whomever you hire has the proper amount of insurance for the work you need done and call the insurer to check the policy. See that whom you hire for the job has liability and workers' compensation insurance so you don't pay for injuries or accidents caused by the company's work.

        We have used Aaron’s Electric three different times. They are a family run business with years of experience. They have installed chandeliers, repaired and electrical box, and installed ceiling fans. Quality work, very professional, and reasonable prices. I highly recommend them, and whenever I need electrical service, they are the company I will call.

        I called Burtner because I had a branch circuit which had gone out in my house. Two electricians showed up right at the time I was told to expect them. I explained my situation to them and they told me that the cost would be $115/hour plus parts.They got right to work and in 50 minutes they had diagnosed and resolved the issue. The nuetral wire had come loose in the junction box for that circuit.As we were preparing to settle the bill I asked if they could come back sometime and work on my bathroom exhaust fan. They asked me the problem, and I explained that the fan had simply stopped working, but that I already had a replacement fan. They said I still had 10 minutes of their time left. Within 10 minutes they had removed the faulty motor from the old fan and replaced with the working motor from my replacement fan.Total cost to me was only $115. All of my electrical issues were solved. I have to say that I was very impresssed and if I ever need electrical work again I'll be sure to call Burtner.

        Did You Know?

        What To Ask Before Hiring

        There are different kinds of electricians. Some mostly work with contractors to install and map out electrical circuits inside homes and commercial buildings while others lay wire for large projects such as telephone lines and traffic lights. Keep this in mind when narrowing your search for a professional. If you need a tradesperson to work on your home or building, contact an inside or house wire expert. These professionals specialize in designing and putting new electrical systems in place for houses and commercial buildings.

        When you contact an electrical contractor, describe the job that needs completing. Maybe you have a large project, like a remodeling plan that requires new wiring, or a small one, such as replacing a light switch or socket. Let the electrician know. Not every person you call will have the training and know-how to do more complex work.

        To further hone your search, make sure you ask electricians the following questions before hiring:

        1. Are You Licensed?
        Trades such as HVAC, plumbing and electrical work require contractors to carefully install complicated systems that could be hazardous if they're installed incorrectly. Therefore, most states require electricians to receive training and obtain a license before working. An electrician that's licensed is one that's competent and knowledgeable enough of his or her trade to install and maintain electrical systems.

        Electricians must complete thousands of hours of training in order to get a license to practice their trade, so make sure not only the company you choose but the employees doing the work show you their license. When you view the license, ensure that it's up to date and that it's issued by your state.

        2. Are You Bonded?
        There's potentially a lot that can go wrong if a tradesperson like an electrician installs wiring the wrong way. To spare you and your home or office from subpar work, make sure the electrician is bonded. Being bonded means the professional has an intermediary that can pay for any damage caused to a property or foot the bill if the contractor fails to finish the job.

        3. Are You Insured?
        Besides a bond, you also need an electrician that's insured. Many states require contractors to carry some form of insurance along with their license. Insist that whomever you hire has the proper amount of insurance for the work you need done and call the insurer to check the policy.

        See that who you hire for the job has liability and workers' compensation insurance so you don't end up paying for injuries or accidents caused by the company's work. Workers' compensation insurance means the business can provide for any of its employees if they're hurt on the job.

        4. Is Your Business Licensed?
        Not only should you check that the electrician is licensed by your state, you should also ask if his or her company has the certification to operate in your area. Both the electrician as well as the business he or she works for need licenses either issued by the state or local municipality.

        5. Who Will Do the Work?
        Ensure the person who actually comes out to complete the work is licensed, bonded and insured. You need to know not just the company that's doing the work but the person they're sending out to your home or building. Make sure the employee doing the job isn't an unsupervised apprentice. If it happens that the business uses a subcontractor, check with both the company and the tradesperson that the same kind of bond and insurance applies for that subcontractor as it would for an employee.

        6. How Much Do You Charge by the Hour?
        If you have a small and simple job that needs completing, such as a new light switch, then ask the electrician how much they charge for it before hiring him or her. When it comes to larger, more intensive and time-consuming work, you'll want to inquire about the contractor's hourly rate. Many tradespeople will offer to come out to your home or building, examine it and give you an estimate as well as tell you how much they charge per hour. It's best to get this in writing before proceeding.

        While you're at it, call several electricians to come out to your home to give you an estimate on the work. This way you can get an idea of what the average price of the job will be.

        7. Do You Offer a Warranty?
        Many reputable tradespeople provide warranties for their work. Inquire if both the labor and parts the electrician uses are under warranty and how long the work is guaranteed for.

        8. Do You Have or Need a Permit?
        Depending on what kind of repairs or installation you need, your city could require a permit for the electrical work. Ask your electrician if the job calls for one and have him or her put the permit under his or her name. Ensuring the tradesperson obtains a permit will safeguard you from any blame if the labor turns out to be subpar.

        How to Hire a Reputable Electrician

        Finding a trustworthy electrician isn't hard, but you must do your due diligence. Make sure whomever you hire is licensed, bonded and insured, and that the professional can show you proof of all three as well as get the necessary permit for the job. Besides these important factors, you can take further steps to guarantee you obtain a reputable tradesperson.

        1. Get Referrals
        Ask your family, friends or neighbors if they can recommend a professional to you and inquire if they're pleased with the work. Better yet, ask them if they can show you the project the electrician completed and ask them how long it took the worker to complete it.

        2. Look Online
        It can't hurt to also check electricians out online. Look for reviews, ratings and, most importantly, see if they have any complaints on file with your municipality or with your local business bureaus. If former customers filed grievances against them, you may want to steer clear.

        3. Ask for a Quote
        Reputable electricians will give you a quote for small work over the phone if you ask and will travel to your home to quote you a price for larger jobs. Be wary of one that declines to give you an estimate or insists that he or she charge you for coming out to your house.

        4. Ask Them About Their Experience
        Being bonded, licensed and insured is all well and good, but you also need an experienced professional to do the work. With that said, interview electricians about past projects they completed and how many years they've been in business or how much training they have.

        5. Be Wary of Suspiciously Low Estimates
        Watch out for contractors that greatly underbid other electricians. If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. Also, always remember to get the estimate in writing before settling on a company.

        Areas of Specialization

        While all electricians need a license, not all of them do the same types of jobs. They are usually split up into three groups: outside, inside and residential.

        Outside: These types of electricians work outdoors on electrical lines that connect to power plants.
        Inside: Inside experts typically focus on commercial and industrial buildings that require a lot of power.
        Residential: If you're a homeowner, you'll most likely need to hire an electrician that specializes in residential wiring. Residential electricians work with low-voltage systems and wiring to install fuse boxes and light fixtures.

        Training

        Like many trade groups, electricians learn their craft by going to vocational schools and shadowing professionals on the job. In order to become a full-fledged professional, a person must undergo an apprenticeship with master and journeyman electricians. An apprentice needs 8,000 hours of practical work before graduating to the journeyman level.

        If an apprentice reaches journeyman status, he or she can complete most electrical work but cannot design it until completing more testing along with 2,000 more on-the-job hours.

        Safety Tips to Keep in Mind

        Many do-it-yourself enthusiasts might be inclined to fix electrical problems around their home, but they risk shock and bodily injury. It's always best to call a licensed electrician, even if you have something as small as an improperly working wall outlet.

        Keep the following safety tips in mind:

        • Do not operate any electrical equipment while sitting or standing in water.
        • Don't overload extension cords or surge protectors.
        • Put caps on your electrical outlets if you have small children.
        • Call an electrician if you notice your sockets or switches are warm to the touch, discolored or if they make noise.
        • Keep electrical cords away from stoves, ovens and other sources of heat.
        • Do not use an appliance that has a frayed cord.
        • Do not staple extension cords into place or cover them with carpets or furniture.
        • When using extension cords, make sure to unwrap them before plugging them in.
        • Don't overuse extension cords. Have an electrician install extra outlets if you need a power source closer to you.
        • Only use light bulbs with the correct wattage for your lamps and light fixtures.
        • Contact a licensed electrician if you frequently blow fuses, since this can be a sign of an electrical wiring problem.
        • Have an electrician look at your fuse box to ensure you have the right size fuses and circuit breakers. The wrong size fuse or breaker can be a fire hazard.
        • If you have fault circuit interrupters installed in your electrical panel, make sure you test them at least once a month by turning them on and off.
