FAQ

What happens if I need the Electrician for a Day for more than one day?

Depending on the schedule, the electrician may be able to stay an extra hour or two on the day he is working for you. The additional cost per hour is $165 + applicable taxes (billed to the nearest half-hour). If necessary, you can book the Vancouver Electrician for a Day for a second day (at the same daily rate), although we will need to confirm availability for the second day.

What about if additional materials are needed?

You can purchase the materials yourself or have our electrician purchase them. The retail cost for any additional materials purchased will be added to your invoice, plus a 20% markup.

What constitutes part of the Electrician for a Day’s work time, and what does not?

The electrician’s coffee and lunch break are not part of the 7.5 hours. If he needs to leave the site to purchase materials on your behalf, this time is considered part of his work day.

What if the electrician finishes my work in less than a day?

Since our electrician is booked for the entire day and likely can’t fill the rest of his day with other paid hours, there is no refund for partial work days. The flat rate is $880.00 + applicable taxes for his services, whether the job takes just a few hours or 7.5 hours.

Are there restrictions on what the Electrician can do?

The rate is based on work under 12’ in height ceilings and assumes that the Electrician can gain safe access to the work area. Some specialized services and installations may not be available under the Electrician for a Day. We’ll invoice you accordingly for tasks that require two technicians, such as installing heavy light fixtures.  

What electrical equipment & materials will the Electrician bring for a day? 

Standard professional tools.
Wire, marrette wire nuts.
Receptacles, GFCI receptacles.
Boxes,
Switches, cover plates.
Smoke Detectors.
Standard, professional ladders.
Sundry supplies.
(Please inform us of any work planned over 10’ so that we have the proper ladders with us.)
