Send these photos.

Clear photos help electricians see what they're pricing. Don't take the panel cover off.

Smell gas or see smoke or fire? Leave the house and call 911. Rivit isn't an emergency service.

What affects the price.

Small jobs can often be quoted from photos. Panels and wiring problems usually need a look first.

The job

Swapping a switch is small. A panel upgrade is a full day or more.

Parts

Fixture, breaker and wire type all change the cost.

Access

Finished walls, attics and long runs from the panel take longer.

Timing

After-hours visits usually cost more.

Permits

Panels, new circuits and EV chargers often need one. Your electrician handles it.

Electrical questions

Do you handle emergencies?

No. If you see smoke or fire, leave the house and call 911. If the whole house is out, call your power company.

Why does my breaker keep tripping?

Often there's too much on one circuit, or a fault in a device or wire. An electrician can find out. Note which breaker it is and what was running when it tripped.

Is this live in my area?

Enter your ZIP above to check. Where it isn't live yet, you can ask anyway, in case a pro nearby can help.

How does Rivit find electricians?

Rivit finds local pros in its directory and asks them in fair turns. Up to 5 send estimates. They see the job and your area, not your name or number.

Does Rivit vet electricians?

No. Rivit doesn't vet pros. Next to each estimate you see the license and insurance details a pro has shared. Confirm license and insurance before work starts.

Is requesting free?

Yes. Requests and quotes are free, and you don't have to hire anyone.
