Default What is a fair electrician hourly rate

I had my basement done and I received a bill from the electrician in the
amount of $3150.00. $2400 being labor. My wife said that he was at the job
only about 10 to 14 hours. Do you think that is a good rate. He won't show
on his invoice how many hours he worked?

He said he did not want people to know what he is charging?


To that 14 hours, add some travel time and shop time, so it may be another
few hours, Even at 20hours, he is high. I'd expect to pay $75 to $100
depending on location.
