Pricing guidance

Estimated pricing, explained.

Estimated pricing helps you plan. Your project’s cost depends on the existing electrical system, access, equipment, and scope. We’ll explain the work and pricing before getting started.

Project ranges include labor and standard installation materials unless a listing says otherwise. Hourly rates are labor only, and equipment you supply (such as chargers, fixtures or fans) is not included. Permit fees and sales tax are additional. Estimates are free, including on-site visits.

Electrical work may require openings in walls or ceilings. Drywall patching, texture, and painting are not included and must be arranged with others.

Troubleshooting is billed at $180 per hour, and the fee is discussed with you before any work starts.

Payment: Card, check, cash or Zelle.

Payment is due when the job is finished. Larger jobs require a deposit; the amount and terms are confirmed in the estimate.

EV charger installation estimates

Standard estimated range: $729–$1,620 before tax.

These ranges cover straightforward installations. Final pricing depends on scope, including wiring distance, access, panel capacity, equipment, and permit requirements. Not every installation qualifies for the lowest price; more involved work may fall outside these ranges.

Bathroom & laundry exhaust fans

Replacing an existing fan typically costs $300–$600, including connection to suitable existing ducting. Installing a fan in a new location typically costs $600–$1,100. Labor and materials are included; permit fees and sales tax are additional. Any additional ductwork needs will be discussed before installation.

New or additional ductwork is not included in either standard range. Any duct changes or additional ductwork must be discussed and agreed upon before installation. Exterior vent caps, roof penetrations, duct replacement and new duct runs are not included work.

Fan replacement and installation details
