Residential Electrician General Information

The Basics of Electrical Services

Most homes have some form of electrical wiring, from basic lighting to complex systems. But what exactly does an electrician do? Electricians are skilled professionals who specialize in installing and maintaining electrical systems. Learn about the basics of what an electrician does and why it’s important to hire a professional company like Kilgore Electric for your electrical needs.

What Does An Electrician Do?

Electricians install, maintain, and repair electrical systems such as wiring, outlets, lighting fixtures, circuits, and other components. They also inspect existing systems to ensure they are working properly and up-to-code. Electricians can also help with the installation of home automation systems that allow you to control your lights or thermostat remotely.

Why Hire A Professional Electrician?

Hiring a professional electrician is important for safety reasons; electricity is powerful and potentially dangerous if not handled correctly. Poorly installed or maintained electrical systems can cause fires or shocks that could put you and your family at risk. By hiring a professional electrician, you are ensuring that your electrical system is up-to-code and safe for use in your home. Additionally, an experienced electrician can make complex repairs quickly and accurately so you don’t have to worry about ongoing issues with your system.

How To Choose A Professional Electrician

When deciding on an electrician, it’s important to do your research. Look for reviews online, and make sure the company has years of experience in the field. You should also make sure the electrician is licensed by the state in which they operate; this will help ensure that they are qualified to work on your home’s electrical system safely and effectively. Kilgore Electric has been in business for years, and has thousands of successfully completed jobs in both residential and commercial electrical work.

Safety & Quality Control

Hiring a professional electrician is essential when it comes to maintaining a safe and functional electrical system in your home. From installing new wiring to inspecting existing components, electricians provide invaluable services that keep homes and buildings safe from potential hazards like fire or shock hazards caused by poor wiring or maintenance issues. By doing your research ahead of time, checking reviews, and making sure the electrician is licensed by the state in which they work, you can rest assured knowing that your home’s electricity is in good hands!

How Much Does an Electrician Cost?

The cost of hiring an electrician depends on several factors including the type of job you need done, the complexity of the project, and the experience of the electrician. For example, simply replacing a light switch may only cost around $75-$100 while rewiring a house can easily run upwards of $3,000 or more.

Cost of Materials

In addition to labor costs (which usually make up 90% of your total bill), there are other factors that can affect your overall cost like materials/supplies needed for the job (which usually comprise 10% or less), taxes/permits/fees related to permits in your city/state (if applicable). Depending on where you're located, electricians may also charge additional fees for things like travel time, or after hours emergency services so it’s important to ask about these upfront before hiring someone for your project to get a clear answer of what to expect.

Cost of Not Hiring a Professional Electrician

While the cost of hiring a professional electrician can seem to add up quickly in some cases, the cost of not hiring a professional to do your electrical work can cost much more. Having electrical work done on your home or business can lead to major issues such as blown fuses or power boxes, electrical fires, equipment damage, electrical shock, and more. If there is one place you never want to cut corners on expense it’s with your electrical work. The insurance and assurance of a professionally completed job is worth it everytime. Furthermore, if you're getting electrical services for your business, you need to stay legally protected. By hiring a reputable company like Kilgore Electric, you can add another level of security in your business.
