The average cost to hire an electrician to install or repair light fixtures, outlets, switches, or fans ranges from $141 to $419 with homeowners spending $280 on average. For larger electrical jobs like installing wiring or replacing an electrical panel, expect to pay $2,000 to $6,000.
The average cost of an electrician is $40 to $100 per hour, with a typical call-out fee or first-hour rate of $75 to $125. To hire a master electrician for specialty work, expect to spend $150 for the first hour, with an average hourly rate of $100 to $120.
Prices paid for electrical work are hard to nail down because it's dependent on many factors, such as labor and material costs. Below is a list of general pricing. For more accurate prices, request free cost estimates from local electricians here on HomeGuide for the service you need.
The average cost to install a basic light fixture is $133 to $414. For advanced fixtures like a chandelier, be sure to include the cost of the fixture itself which can add another $200 to $700 to your final price. For AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupt) protection, add $50.
If the electrician runs into accessibility issues, or electrical problems that require board or panel upgrades expect to pay more in labor costs. Most of the time, your electrician will be able to give you an accurate estimate up front.
The cost to replace or upgrade an electrical panel is $850 to $2,500 on average depending on the cost of the wire and your electricity amp needs. Service replacement includes a new meter, electric service drop, disconnect, panel, wiring, piping, and a weather head.
The average cost to install a home generator is $6,000 to $11,000, including the generator. A Generac home back-up generator starts at $2,000, and professional installation ranges from $3,000 to $5,000. Pricing varies by system size, electrician costs, and local building codes.
The cost for an electrician to install a new light switch ranges from $150 to $200 for a single pole switch, to $100 to $250 for a new three-way switch. To replace an electrical switch, expect to spend about $80 to $120 on average.
In some cases, it can cost more to replace an existing light switch than it will to install light switches in new construction because you may need to update your electrical board, install new wiring, switch boxes, or box covers.
The cost to install or replace an interior electrical outlet with GFCI is $120 to $150 while replacing an exterior receptacle with cover costs $200 to $275 on average. If you have several outlets to replace, ask your electrician about package discounts.
For safety purposes, especially if you have children in the house, install GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected outlets in the kitchen, bathrooms, and the laundry room. A GFCI outlet will help prevent electrical shock in wet areas of the home. Also, consider installing dedicated circuits for large appliances.
Ceiling fan installation costs around $200 on average, with most spending $150 to $350. Bathroom exhaust fan installation costs $150 to $550, while an attic exhaust fan runs $300 to $500.
Smart home automation systems cost $600 to $1,800 that integrates into your existing outlets. For hard-wired systems, which requires extensive rewiring costs $5,600 on average with most homeowners spending between $4,000 and $12,000 based on the extent of automation desired.
When it comes to your home and the safety of those living in it, this is not the time to go with a cheap electrician. Due to the risk of fire or life-threatening electric shocks if you end up with bad electrical work, you want to be sure to hire the best professional, licensed, and insured electrician you can find. Professional electricians are knowledgeable about current building codes and the proper way to safely upgrade or install the wiring in your home.

The type of electrical job you need completed is the biggest cost determinant. Replacing an electrical panel or integrating smart-home features costs much more than installing a light switch. However, electricians usually have a minimum fee for the first hour of work, even for small jobs that may only take a few minutes. Here are some price ranges for the most common electrical services.
An electrician charges hourly for most services. This means that larger, more complex jobs cost more. Electricians with more experience and training can also increase their rates, so a master electrician charges more than a journeyman.
Objective: To compare the clinical- and cost-effectiveness of ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) and functional electrical stimulation (FES) over 12 months in people with Multiple Sclerosis with foot drop.
Outcome measures: Assessed at 0, 3, 6 and 12 months; 5-minute self-selected walk test (primary), Timed 25 Foot Walk, oxygen cost of walking, Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale-29, Multiple Sclerosis Walking Scale-12, Modified Fatigue Impact Scale, Euroqol five-dimension five-level questionnaire, Activities-specific Balance and Confidence Scale, Psychological Impact of Assistive Devices Score, and equipment and National Health Service staff time costs of interventions.
Objective: Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) for correction of dropped foot has been shown to increase mobility, reduce the incidence of falls and to improve quality of life. This study aimed to determine how long the intervention is of benefit, and the total cost of its provision.
Results: The median time of FES use was 3.6 years (mean 4.9, standard deviation 4.1, 95% confidence interval 4.2-5.6) with 33 people still using FES after a mean of 11.1 years. People with stroke walked a mean of 45% faster overall, including a 24% training effect with 52% improving their FWC. People with multiple sclerosis did not receive a consistent training effect but walked 29% faster when FES was used with 40% increasing their FWC. The average treatment cost was 3,095 per patient resulting in a mean cost per Quality Adjusted Life Years of 15,406.
An informed understanding of the potential future costs of electricity storage technologies is essential to quantify their uptake as well as the uptake of low-carbon technologies reliant on storage1,2,3. This can increase investor confidence and enable policymakers to design suitable deployment strategies4. A lack of open data to project storage costs currently necessitates incorporating wide cost ranges1, using cost projections of electric vehicle (EV) battery packs for stationary applications4,5 or excluding storage from studies of future electricity systems3.
The average cost to rewire a house is $7,000, but you could spend as little as $1,100 or as much as $13,000, depending on the size of your home and the extent of the rewiring job.
If your electrical panel needs replacing, you might need to add a new panel to the total cost to rewire your home. Electrical panel replacement costs fall between $400 and $2,500. Most homeowners will pay somewhere in the middle of this price range for a 200-amp panel.
If you need to open walls to run wires through your home, the cost to knock down walls falls between $0.40 and $6.40 per square foot. Load-bearing and stone walls cost the most to open, as they require more skill and costly replacement materials, while drywall is a fast and simpler material to open and replace.
The type of cable or wireyou choose to rewire your home also plays a role in the cost of your total project, with costs ranging between $0.15 and $0.60 per linear foot on the low end and between $1.50 and $3.50 per linear foot on the high end.
As one of the more affordable types of wiring for a home, THHN or THWN wire costs between $0.15 and $1.50 per foot on average. Also called thermoplastic, high heat-resistant nylon-coated (THHN) wire and thermoplastic, heat-resistant, water-resistant nylon (THWN) wire, these materials contain a single conductor, insulation and a jacket to protect the wires. Their affordability makes thempopular in many homes.
The average cost to hire an electrician falls between $50 and $150 an hour. Most rewiring projects take between three and seven days to complete, meaning your labor costs can range between $1,000 and $7,400 or $4,600 on average.
If possible, have your pro pull old wires through your crawlspace, attic, basement or floor joists rather than through breaking down walls. Many electricians can fish wire through the walls of your home to avoid costly wall repair services. If you must access wires through the wall, try to have the project completed in one go to avoid having to re-open walls.
