Typical jobs land between $145 and $350 in labor depending on the fixture, with the device itself billed separately or supplied by you.

Typical minor electrical repairs jobs

The calls we get for minor electrical repairs look like this: a dining room fixture swapped for the new one you bought; yellowed outlets and switches replaced through a hallway; a bedroom ceiling fan replaced on the existing box; a dimmer added to the living room lights; a chirping smoke detector replaced with a fresh sealed unit. If your job sounds like one of these, it is squarely in scope. If it is bigger, we will say so upfront and point you to the right specialty contractor instead of stretching a handyman visit around it.

Why book a handyman for minor electrical repairs

Specialty contractors are built for big projects, which is why small minor electrical repairs jobs get ignored, wait weeks, or carry minimum charges out of proportion to the work. A handyman service is built the other way: small jobs are the whole business, so they get quoted quickly, scheduled promptly, and finished in one visit whenever the work allows.

And when a job genuinely needs a licensed specialty contractor, we say so and refer you to one, rather than learning on your house.

What electrical work we refer out

Panel and breaker work, new circuits and wire runs, service upgrades, EV chargers, spa and hot tub wiring, and troubleshooting that leads back into the walls all require a licensed electrician in Idaho. We keep strictly to like-for-like replacements on existing wiring, and when a job crosses that line we stop and refer you to a licensed electrical contractor we trust.
