Only on Taskly
One post, the whole situation handled
Several jobs bought as one outcome — one Tasker, one price to agree, no coordinating three trades yourself.
Safe before you move in
Panel checked, smoke and CO alarms brought up to code and the obvious hazards dealt with while the place is empty.
Post this taskReady for the car
Panel capacity assessed, the charger permitted and installed, and the run made tidy.
Post this taskLighting, all of it
Every fixture that has been on the list changed in one visit, with dimmers where they help.
Post this taskThe room that has no outlets
Circuits added properly rather than another extension lead, with the wall made good.

The list on the fridge
The shelf that never went up, the door that sticks, the light that flickers — one visit instead of three.

Walked while you work
A midday walk on the days the office runs long, with a note on how it went.
Post this task
Flat-pack, standing up
The wardrobe, the desk and the bed frame built and levelled, with the cardboard taken away.
Post this taskWhat to know about electricians
Panel upgrades are the other common large job. A hundred-amp panel that was ample in 1975 is tight for a household with a heat pump, an EV charger and an induction range, and the upgrade usually involves the utility as well as the electrician, which is why lead times run longer than people expect. EV charger installs depend almost entirely on where the panel sits relative to where you park: a charger on the other side of a garage wall is straightforward, one across a driveway is a trenching job.
Smaller work is ordinary and quick. Pot lights, dimmers, additional outlets, fixture swaps, exterior receptacles and smoke-alarm interconnection are the bread-and-butter tasks, and the fair way to price them is by counting devices and judging the ceiling above them. Plaster and lath is materially more work than drywall for anything cut into a ceiling, and an offer that has not asked about it may be pricing a different house.
Getting comparable quotes takes one piece of discipline: describe the same scope to everyone. Count the devices, say what the ceiling is made of, state whether you want the old fittings removed and taken away, and mention any access constraint like a finished basement below. Electricians price scope, not descriptions, so three quotes against three different mental pictures are not three quotes. Ask each one what they would find if they opened the wall — the answers tell you who has worked on houses your age.
Check what licence your country requires.

What an electrical visit usually includes
- Diagnosis before any work is quoted
- Making the circuit safe and testing it afterwards
- Tidying and securing the run
- Advising what the panel can actually carry
What moves the price
- Whether a permit and inspection are required
- The age of the wiring — knob and tube changes the job entirely
- Service size, and whether the panel can carry what you want
- Finished walls and ceilings, and how much has to be opened
- Condo restrictions on in-wall runs
- How far the new run is from the panel
Worth asking before you accept an offer
- Does this need a permit and an inspection?
- The house is pre-war — what happens if you find knob and tube?
- What size is my service, and can it carry this?
- Who makes good the wall afterwards?
- Is the diagnosis fee separate from the work?

Questions
Frequently asked
Answers to what people actually search for.
My house has knob-and-tube. Is that urgent?
It is not automatically unsafe, but many insurers will not cover a home that still has it, so it often becomes urgent for a reason unrelated to safety. An assessment is the first job, not a rewire.
Why do EV charger quotes vary so much?
Because they are mostly about distance and route from your panel to where you park. A charger on the other side of a garage wall is an afternoon; one across a driveway is a trenching job.
