How Much do Residential Electrical Contractors Charge per Project?

Residential electrical costs vary depending on the specific project and your location within the Los Angeles area. We offer clear upfront pricing so you know exactly what to expect before we begin. Typically, residential projects are billed through a combination of service fees and hourly rates:

  • Service Call Fees: In the San Fernando Valley and Reseda area, a flat service call fee for the first hour generally ranges from $85 to $150. In other areas like Downtown or the Westside, these fees may range from $95 to $175.
  • Hourly Labor Rates: For work beyond the first hour, labor rates in Reseda and the San Fernando Valley typically fall between $75 and $110 per hour.
  • Project Minimums: Most residential visits have a project minimum, which ranges from $150 to $200 in our primary service areas.

For larger specific installations, such as an electrical panel upgrade (100–200 amp), costs in the San Fernando Valley usually range between $1,500 and $2,500. Please note that permit fees, which typically range from $150 to $600, are billed separately.
