How do I find licensed electricians?
Use Fixxy to find electricians whose licenses are verified against your state board — every Fixxy electrician carries proof of insurance and bonding.
Why licensing matters
Unlicensed electrical work voids your homeowner's insurance, fails inspections, and can cause fires. Always hire licensed for any work involving the panel, new circuits, or permits.
How to verify a license
Ask for the electrician's license number and look it up on your state's licensing board website. On Fixxy, this is verified for you and badge-displayed on every profile.
Cost ranges
Service call: $75–$200. Hourly: $75–$175. Outlet/switch replacement: $100–$300. New circuit: $300–$1,200. Panel upgrade: $1,500–$4,500.
