As a recently licensed electrician I have questions regarding the typical hourly rates of electrician's in my local area. Speicifically I am concerned that I may be under charging. I base this entirely on reports of customers who in some case claim to have paid as much as twice as what I would have typically charged for residential work. Most of my estimates are based on methods I was able to gather from my grandfather years ago and needless to say he is no longer around to guide me in this area... and I would like to know what others are typically charging in reference to new construction, service changes, etc. I'm in central Suffolk, Long Island, NY... I know how competitive this business can be - any honest help here???
