Electrical repair and installation services
Electrical work is not a good place to guess. Post the job on Top Guys and independent electricians bid with a price, their scope, and when they can start, so you can compare licensed professionals instead of calling the first number in the search results.
Common requests include dead outlets, tripping breakers, ceiling fan and light fixture installation, dimmers and smart switches, and troubleshooting circuits that keep failing.
Permit-required work, gas, electrical panels, and major plumbing generally need a licensed trade professional. Ask for the license number and confirm it with your state or city before work begins.
Typical electrical work jobs customers post
- Replacing outlets, switches, dimmers, and GFCI receptacles
- Installing ceiling fans, vanity lights, and recessed fixtures
- Troubleshooting dead outlets and repeatedly tripping breakers
- Running new circuits for appliances, shops, and EV charging
- Installing smart switches, thermostats, and doorbell wiring
- Replacing exterior lighting, floodlights, and landscape wiring
Not on the list? Post it anyway. Custom requests are welcome, and providers tell you in their bid whether it is work they handle.

Electrical Work questions
Is electrical work always required to be licensed?
Nearly always. Most states and cities require a licensed electrician for any work beyond a like-for-like fixture swap, and permits are typically required for new circuits. Confirm the license and permit requirements in your area.
How do I describe an electrical problem?
Say which outlets, fixtures, or breakers are affected, when it started, and whether anything else on the same circuit changed. A photo of the panel and the affected fixture helps a lot.
Can an electrician tell me the price without visiting?
Simple swaps can often be quoted from photos. Troubleshooting and new circuits usually need a site visit, and the bids on Top Guys will say which case applies.
