Frequently asked questions about Electrical Help in Austin
What's the hourly rate for an electrician in Austin?
Electricians in Austin who offer services through Taskrabbit charge an average rate of $59 per hour. The cost may change depending on the hardware required, so always request a quote before finalizing your appointment.
Does Texas require electricians to be licensed?
The state of Texas requires that every home electrician obtain a license before performing any work.
How long does thermostat replacement take?
An experienced professional can typically replace a thermostat in under an hour, while smart thermostat installations can take up to two hours.
How long does it take to install a ceiling fan?
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.
How can I find a licensed electrician?
Many Taskers offering electrical services are licensed. Just ask for proof of qualifications when booking.
How long does it take to install a chandelier?
Replacing an existing ceiling light with a chandelier typically takes two hours or less. However, the job can take up to four hours depending on access to wiring, the size and weight of the chandelier, ceiling height, and complexity of assembly.
What if I need to reschedule my handyman appointment?
With Taskrabbit, you're working directly with a person—no long wait times, rigid four-hour windows, or endless phone trees. Just coordinate with your Tasker to reschedule.
Is a junction box required to install a Google nest floodlight camera?
Yes, a junction box is usually required to install a Google Nest Floodlight camera. If you're replacing an existing floodlight or outdoor light fixture, a junction box is likely already in place. For a new installation, you'll need to add a junction box and run wiring to it. In that case, it's best to hire a licensed electrician.
