Using that information, your electrical contractor will make sure that they bring the required tools and equipment, so you won’t have to rush down to the hardware store to buy anything. Don’t panic if you don’t even own basic tools! Electrical contractors on the Handy platform take their responsibility to their customers very seriously.

No Job Too Big or Small

Electrical contractors on Handy are used to working on jobs of all sizes. It doesn't have to be a huge, complete electrical rewiring job to warrant using the services of a professional. Many of our customers use electrical contractors for small jobs, just to make sure that it's done safely and to required standards. Many Handy customers book an electrician for someone else.

Simon was awesome. He fixed our (somewhat strange) problem, went to buy a new part for us, and also identified and fixed another problem! Highly recommended, great guy!

Adebisi A.

Very professional and experienced. Came right on time and didn't leave until the job was done properly. Really friendly and polite as well. Will definitely use him again.

Did an incredible job installing my Nest Thermostat. Very professional, efficient, and a nice guy. Highly recommend.

Kemi B.

Very good professional who was excellent in doing his job & sorting out the electrical issues others seemed to have had difficulty fixing.

Nathan I.

He clearly wasn't a highly trained electrician. I knew more about installing a light than he did. He also didn't have a car.

Carlos D.

I am very glad to say that this new pro was an absolute pleasure. Very nice and respectable, and fixed the problem immediately.
