Electricians do a fair amount of larger remodeling and new construction projects but also common residential projects including:
For cost information related to the above tasks, visit our Electrical Cost Guide.
A truly skilled, well-equipped professional with a truck full of parts that charges $100 an hour can be a much wiser choice than an inexperienced hack, working with inadequate tools and no parts, but charging much less. Often, more experienced professionals get the job done quickly with warrantied work.
2. Compare Travel ChargesRates reflect travel times. Travel charges can have a big impact on your costs and are in some ways easier to compare than hourly rates. Many electricians spend a third or more of their time navigating traffic on their way to a jobsite. Every contractor must find a way to pay for the expense of driving each day.
3. Bundle Repair Jobs TogetherWhen you feel it’s time to call a pro, review your list and then conduct a mini-inspection of your home. Look for faulty switches and dysfunctional or crowded outlets. When the electrician comes, you’ll save money and time by getting everything taken care of at once.

Get Matched With ProsLightning rods can make sense on any structure, but they are particularly beneficial to homes on the edges of bodies of water, houses on flat land or mountain tops with few if any other structures nearby, and tall buildings in urban areas. Having a lightning rod does not mean that lightning is attracted to your home. However, if lightning does strike, the rod gives the electricity a fast, low-resistance, and effective path to the ground, helping to prevent damage, electrocution, and fire.
The rod, often referred to as a finial or air terminal, is just one part of a lightning protection system. It is typically made from copper or aluminum which are both conductive materials. A wire is connected to the rod that runs to a rod underground. Lightning rods are typically installed at the highest point of a structure, but some can be placed elsewhere or even on the ground. Those not placed on the roof need to be taller than the structure.
Installing a lightning rod should not be done by an amateur. To make sure everything is hooked up right, and to understand if you might need additional protection such as a whole house surge protector, it's best to contact a professional. Enter your zip code and HomeAdvisor will connect you with lightning rod installers near you.
