Scottsdale’s Premier LiveWire Residential Electrician

It depends on the job. If there is an issue that I have to figure out then I would price per hour with a 1 hour minimum plus the cost of parts. But if its a straight forward job then I will bid it per job. 

Yes. I am Licensed, Bonded and Insured. ROC# 349550.

Yes. Whichever EV charging station you are looking to install, we have experience and knowledge to get it done. We service the Phoenix Metro area.

There are 2 ways that you can try before calling your electrician. The first, go to your panel and see if any of the 15 or 20 amp breakers are tripped (handle is in the middle position). If you see one that is, turn it all the way off and then turn it back on. 

But if none of them are then second thing to do is look for a GFCI and press the reset button. If the outlets that are not working are in your garage, bathroom, outside, or kitchen then you should be able to find the head GFCI that controls those outlets. If you press reset and that didn't work, then its now time to call Livewire because there seems to be a bigger issue going on that a professional will have to take a look. 

A licensed electrician Phoenix will cost anywhere from $75 to $225 per hour.

The cost depends on many factors. Are they a small company? If so, the price will be lower because they don't have as much overhead as the bigger companies do. A good sign to to give you hint if the electrician will be expensive is if you see their billboards then they will be expensive. The reason for that is because somebody has to pay for the billboard price and that is usually rolled into the billable hour. 

A licensed electrical contractor has a lot of overhead to be in business and has to charge accordingly to stay in business year after year.  

Overhead to consider is work vehicle cost and maintenance, vehicle and liability insurance, licensing and bond fee, phone bill, vehicle gas, marketing and rent for the business. Bigger companies have much larger overhead than the smaller ones but the 1 thing holds true is that they have to price accordingly so that they can stay in business year after year. 

Yes it is worth it. In the long run you will save money by installing one in your home. 

The supercharge stations are a business and they have to price enough to make a profit so you will be paying more for same if you would have just charged at home. The upfront cost of installing one in your home might be high but saving money per charge at home vs supercharge station might save you money within the 1st year. 

Also, just the convenience of having one in your home is the biggest benefit. Being able to pull into your garage and plug in and go inside and not have to worry and know that when you are ready to go the next day it will be fully charged and ready to go. No more waiting around at the stations.  

The price to run electric for a hot tub depends on how many amps you are needing and how far away from the electrical panel its going to be. But a ball park cost is usually $1000 to $4000.

If you are going through the attic and inside the wall then you have to use 6/3 NM-B wire which is rated for 50 amps. But if you are running everything through a conduit then you can use 8 gauge THHN which is rated for 55 amps.
