I have 19 years experience third generation electrician, fully versed in the electrical trade. Hire me for ceiling fans, light fixtures, outlets, smart home devices, troubleshooting and repair and electrical inspections. My ladder reaches me up to 13 foot ceilings and up to 15 foot leaned against a wall. Anything higher than this will require a second person and a ladder rental.

The state of Texas requires that every home electrician obtain a license before performing any work.

An experienced professional can typically replace a thermostat in under an hour, while smart thermostat installations can take up to two hours.

If wiring is already in place, expect the job to take one to two hours for someone with experience. Without existing wiring, installing a ceiling fan can take up to four hours or more. In comparison, a DIY homeowner might spend up to four hours just replacing an existing fan.

Many Taskers offering electrical services are licensed. Just ask for proof of qualifications when booking.
