If you are an electrician making your living through doing residential and commercial work, this article is for you. Electrician prices differ from one state to another. But wherever you are right now the most sought after electricians are those that have been proven to have worked with satisfied friends.

There are two possible charges that you may choose from. First is the hourly rate with the look of it you will be earning much money but not much of a good reputation. You would not like being watched while working, but most clients will do it because of the fear that you would be wasting time to earn more money. The second charge is the flat rate. Flat rate will cost less because the customer will only be paying for the project but not for the time you invest on it. A satisfied and contented costumer will surely recommend you to relatives and friends, thus giving you more customers for future jobs. If you are just in the beginning of your career, good reviews and references are crucial. This is something worth remembering when you determine your official electrician prices.
