Electricians install, repair and upgrade the wiring, panels, outlets, switches and fixtures that power your home. Because electrical mistakes can cause shocks and fires, most work beyond replacing a bulb is best left to a qualified electrician.
Common electrical services include:
Call an electrician when breakers trip often, lights flicker, outlets feel warm or spark, you smell burning, or you are adding appliances or remodeling. EV chargers and solar systems also have specialist categories.

An electrician installs and repairs residential electrical systems, including wiring, circuits, electrical panels, outlets, switches, lighting and ceiling fans. Electricians also add circuits for new appliances, update older wiring and complete the electrical part of remodels and additions.
Call promptly if you smell burning, see sparks or scorch marks, an outlet or switch feels hot, breakers trip repeatedly, or you have had water near electrical equipment. If there is smoke or fire, leave the home and call emergency services first.
Choose an electrician who regularly does residential work like yours and gives a clear written estimate. Ask whether your state requires a license for the job and confirm the company holds it, ask whether a permit and inspection are needed, and confirm the company carries insurance.
Cost depends on the scope of the job, the condition and age of existing wiring, how easy it is to run new wires through walls and ceilings, materials and fixtures, and any permit or inspection requirements. Panel upgrades can also depend on your utility's service equipment.
Make the electrical panel easy to reach and clear space around outlets, fixtures or rooms where work will happen. List the problems you have noticed and when they occur, and point out any recent changes, additions or appliances.
