❓FAQ — Electrical Services LA

Q1. How much do electricians charge ?
Typical hourly rates range from $90–$150, depending on service complexity and travel.

Q2. Are you even licensed for electrical work?
Not yet. Every job is covered by our $2 million general liability policy, and we send the certificate before work starts. Work that needs a permit is outside our scope.

Q3. How can I tell if I need a panel upgrade?
Frequent breaker trips or flickering lights during appliance use are signs your panel is overloaded.

Q4. Can I install my own light fixtures?
It’s not recommended — incorrect wiring can cause fire hazards or void insurance.
