Frequently asked questions about Electrical Help in Chicago
How much does an electrician cost 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.
How can I save money when hiring an electrician in Chicago?
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.
Who can help with garbage disposal replacement?
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.
How long do common household repairs or replacements take?
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.
Who can install a pendant light?
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.
What supplies do I need to provide for a light switch installation service?
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!
What type of contractor can install a kitchen range hood with outdoor ventilation?
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.
