FAQ
How much does it cost to hire an electrician in Idaho Falls?
We charge $150 per hour with a $300 minimum call-out fee. If you’re more than 50 miles out, we can set up a quick video estimate instead.
Do you do solar too?
Absolutely. We work with just about every solar system on the market. We can install a new system, add to your existing setup, or handle repairs and maintenance. We’ll get you back online and set up for the long haul.
Can you help with small electrical jobs, or just big projects?
Yep. We take the big jobs, the small ones, and the ones nobody planned for. We work with contractors, builders, and homeowners just trying to keep the lights on, and we’re pretty good at all three.
How do I find a good local electrician near me?
Start with someone licensed, insured, and local enough to actually show up. Then find the crew that does clean work and keeps their word. Hale Electric’s a small Idaho Falls outfit with a 4.8-star rating on Google, a master electrician running the show (contractor license #058120), and a reputation for doing things right.
Is solar even worth it in East Idaho?
Short answer: Yes. Long answer: East Idaho gets plenty of sun for solar to make financial sense, especially with modern tech and solid installs. I use solar myself, and would be happy to share my personal experiences with it.
