Frequently asked questions about Electrical Help in Chicago

While every Tasker sets their own rates, expect to pay a minimum of around $40 per hour, depending on the Tasker’s certifications.

One of the best ways to save money when you contract an electrician for hire is to make it easy for them to do their job. Be home at the agreed-upon time, and make sure all pets, children, and other distractions are out of the way. Every disruption means the job will take longer than expected.

A handyman with electrical experience or a plumber is your best bet for garbage dispoal replacement. They can safely handle the removal and installation while providing a leak-free operation.

Common household replacements that take an hour or less include doorknobs, locks, light switches, light fixtures, ceiling fans, smoke detectors, and faucets. More involved tasks such as replacing a toilet, garbage disposal, dishwasher, window, or door can take up to four hours. Large projects that may take a full day or longer include replacing a water heater, flooring, countertops, shower, roof, or HVAC system.

Electricians are skilled at installing all types of lighting, including pendant, task, wall sconce, outdoor lighting, and much more. A simple pendant replacement typically takes an hour or less.

For many light switch installations, you'll need to provide the switch itself. Otherwise, the service will already have the necessary tools and supplies including wire nuts, electrical tape, wiring, mounting screws, and hardware. Note Taskers can offer advice if you're unsure which switch to buy, or even pick up a light switch for you!

Handymen can install small range hoods when no modifications are needed. For larger or more complex systems, it's best to hire a general contractor.
