It depends on the project scope, location, materials, and labor time. For example, rewiring a house can range from $3,000 to $10,000+, while installing a single outlet may cost $100–$300. We’ll break it down during your estimate so you’re never surprised. Pricing transparency is key to helping you make confident decisions.
Another factor many homeowners overlook is that trust isn’t built by offering vague pricing or overwhelming you with technical details — it’s built by being clear about what’s included and why. That’s why we walk you through the scope of work, explain labor and permit costs, and help you understand the value of the materials we use. While we don’t itemize every part individually, our goal is to provide clarity without overwhelming you with a list of product line items. Instead, we focus on making sure you know exactly what your investment covers — and why it matters for your home’s safety, value, and long-term performance.Shape
Electrical work involves licensing, insurance, permits, specialized tools, and years of training. You’re paying for expertise and safety. Cheap work often leads to expensive mistakes — especially in systems as critical as your home’s power.
Additionally, it’s important to consider that a reputable electrician invests heavily in training, equipment, certifications, and liability coverage. These aren’t just business costs — they’re protections for you. That higher quote often reflects a commitment to doing the job right the first time. We aim to educate you so you feel empowered in who you hire — not pressured or confused.
Yes — electricians can absolutely help reduce your energy costs. We do this by upgrading inefficient lighting, installing smart controls, adding dedicated circuits, and modernizing outdated panels.
We also offer energy audits and can recommend and install electrical monitoring devices that give you real-time insight into where your power is being used — helping you manage energy long-term and cut unnecessary costs.
Yes — most electrical projects legally require permits to ensure the work meets local, state and national code. We handle all permitting for you and coordinate with inspectors, so you don’t have to worry about compliance.
What many people don’t realize is that working without a permit can void your insurance, cause inspection failures, and lead to costly rework. Permits aren’t red tape — they’re protective layers that ensure quality. We believe in doing it right the first time, which means following the rules that keep your family and property safe.
Legally, in many areas you can. But even “small” jobs, like replacing an outlet, carry risks of shock, fire, and code violations. We always recommend hiring a professional for anything involving wiring or circuit work.
When thinking about this question, remember that electrical work doesn’t allow for “close enough” mistakes. One misstep can lead to major safety issues. We’re not here to scare you, we’re here to protect you. Sometimes DIY is great, but with electricity, the risks outweigh the savings.
Look for licenses, insurance, online reviews, experience with similar projects, and transparent pricing. Ask: “What kind of work don’t you do?” A trustworthy contractor is upfront about their scope and limitations.
Another factor many homeowners overlook is that good electricians don’t hesitate to educate you. If they dodge questions or rush your decisions, that’s a red flag. At the end of the day, you’re not just hiring for skill — you’re hiring for trust. We want you to feel confident and informed, not uncertain or in the dark.
Quotes vary based on labor quality, parts used, warranty offers, and business overhead. One electrician might use top-tier materials with a 5-year warranty. Another might use cheaper parts with no warranty. Ask what’s included — not just the price.
While we don’t break down each individual part line by line, we do clearly explain what’s included, why it’s needed, and how it impacts your safety, system performance, and long-term value. Our goal is to keep things transparent and easy to understand — without overwhelming you with a materials list. It’s not about being the cheapest; it’s about delivering lasting quality and peace of mind you can count on.
A full inspection includes checking panels, breakers, outlets, grounding, GFCIs, AFCIs, wiring conditions, and code compliance. We document all findings and recommend any urgent upgrades or safety fixes.
One thing we’ve seen over the years is that a thorough inspection can catch issues before they become expensive emergencies. It’s not just a checklist, it’s a safety net. Whether you’re buying a home, selling, or just want peace of mind, we walk you through every step so you understand what’s going on behind your walls.
Most homes take 4–10 working days depending on square footage and whether the walls are open or not. If you’re living in the home during the project, we can stage the work to minimize disruption.
One thing we’ve seen over the years is that rewiring doesn’t have to mean chaos. Clear timelines, daily updates, and courteous crew behavior are all part of what makes the experience smooth. We’ll explain everything before we start — so you know exactly what to expect, every step of the way.
A licensed electrician is certified by the state, carries insurance, and follows code strictly. A handyman may not be licensed or trained for electrical work — which puts your safety and home value at risk.
In our experience working with clients, we’ve found that homeowners often only learn the difference after something goes wrong — an inspection fails, a panel isn’t up to code, or a fire risk is discovered. Licensed electricians are legally allowed to pull permits, pass inspections, and guarantee compliance. That’s peace of mind a handyman simply can’t offer.
Common signs include flickering lights, burning smells, tripping breakers, outdated knob-and-tube wiring, or aluminum wiring. If your home is 40+ years old and hasn’t been inspected recently, it’s worth checking.
What many people don’t realize is that old wiring isn’t just outdated — it can be a fire hazard. We help you understand the risks, give you a clear inspection, and walk you through options — from partial upgrades to full rewires — based on your budget and needs.
Yes. Old panels like Federal Pacific or Zinsco are known fire hazards and should be replaced. They can fail to trip during overloads, increasing the risk of fire or equipment damage.
One thing we’ve seen over the years is that homeowners often don’t know what panel brand they have — and that’s where danger hides. We’ll inspect it during a bid scope and explain exactly what your panel is doing (or not doing) to protect your home.
- Panel size and amperage (e.g., 100A, 150A, 200A)
- Whether you’re upgrading service or just replacing the panel
- Local permit and inspection requirements
- Accessibility and condition of existing wiring
- Location of the panel (indoors, garage, basement, exterior)
For homes with outdated panels (like Federal Pacific or Zinsco), replacement may also involve code corrections or rewiring safety upgrades, which can increase the total cost.
While it might be tempting to choose the lowest price, remember: a breaker panel is the heart of your electrical system. It protects your home, appliances, and family from overloads and fire hazards. You’re not just paying for parts — you’re paying for expertise, safety, and peace of mind.
All our work is done to NEC (National Electric Code) standards. We stay current on local code changes and use only UL-listed materials. Final inspections ensure every job passes safety checks before we leave.
In our experience, the right way is the only way. We don’t cut corners, and we don’t leave gray areas in your electrical system. Our commitment to code isn’t about red tape — it’s about protecting your family and the investment you’ve made in your home.
We offer warranties ranging from 1 to 5 years depending on the job. Our labor guarantee ensures we’ll fix any installation issues at no extra cost. We want you to feel confident long after the job is done.
Additionally, it’s important to consider that a warranty is only as good as the company behind it. We’ve been in business for years and stand behind every job. Our goal is simple: leave you 100% satisfied — and protected.
We offer a labor warranty on every project we complete, covering the quality and craftsmanship of our work. This warranty ensures all electrical installations meet or exceed code compliance and industry best practices.
However, our parts and material warranty only applies to items provided directly by Floener Electric. That’s where things can sometimes get confusing. For example, let’s say a customer provides their own ceiling fan and switch. One of our licensed electricians installs those items, and three months later, the ceiling fan fails due to an internal defect. The customer calls us expecting a replacement fan and free labor. But because the faulty item wasn’t supplied by us, the replacement parts and labor are billable.
If, on the other hand, Floener Electric had provided the ceiling fan and switch, we would replace the item and cover the labor at no cost under our warranty.
Bottom line:
- Labor warranty? Always included.
- Parts/materials warranty? Only on products we supply.
This protects both you and us — ensuring quality installations and trusted materials every time.
