Common questions
Electrical cost questions, answered
How much does it cost to install a ceiling fan in North Texas?
Replacing an existing light or fan typically costs $100–$400 per fan. Installing a fan where there is no ceiling wiring yet typically costs $300–$1,000, because a new circuit run and switch are needed. Ceiling height, attic access, and whether the box is fan-rated move the price within those ranges.
How much does recessed lighting installation cost?
Recessed lighting in a finished ceiling typically costs $125–$300 per light. A six-light room usually lands between $750–$1,800. Single-story homes with open attic access sit at the lower end; second-floor ceilings and added dimmers push it higher.
How much does EV charger installation cost?
Installing a Level 2 home charger typically costs $800–$5,000, not including the charger itself. The biggest factor is distance: a garage next to the panel is often $800–$1,800, while a detached garage or long run can reach $2,500–$5,000. If the panel lacks capacity, a load-management device or panel upgrade adds to the cost. The federal residential charger tax credit (Section 30C) applied only to chargers placed in service through June 30, 2026.
How much does an electrical panel upgrade cost?
Replacing a panel or upgrading to 200-amp service typically costs $3,500–$6,500 in North Texas. The range depends on whether the meter base and service entrance also change, the amount of utility coordination required, and permit requirements for your city or county.
How much does a whole-house generator cost?
A whole-home standby generator typically costs $8,500–$15,000 installed, including the automatic transfer switch and electrical work; the gas line is handled by a licensed plumber. A safe hookup for a portable generator, using an inlet and interlock or transfer switch, typically costs $800–$2,000.
How much does an electrician charge for small jobs?
Small jobs are usually priced by the task. Replacing a breaker typically runs $150–$300, and adding or replacing an outlet or switch typically runs $250–$650, including required GFCI protection. Combining several small items into one visit is usually more economical than separate calls.
