The hourly rate for an electrician is between $50.00 to $100.00 per hour depending on the location and what amount of work and how complex the work is for the electrician.
An electrician coming to your home to put in a few wires and outlets or switches may only charge around $50.00 per hour.
And if they need to rewire the house and install new breaker boxes etc then the hourly charge may go up to $100.00 to $150.00 per hour.
If the electrician is doing commercial electrical work such as for a store or other business then they may charge $100.00 to $150.00 per hour and sometimes as much as $200.00 per hour.
The electrician will also have a service charge before they do any work so that can be from $80.00 to $100.00 just for the service call.
