4. Age and type of wiring. An electrician may be required to bring older wiring up to code.
5. Ease of access. When building a new addition, be sure to have the electrician come in to do the wiring before the drywall is installed. It's much easier to work with open walls.
6. Your location. The hourly rate for electrical work near you may be more or less depending on the number of electricians and typical rates in your area.
7. Permit costs. Permit requirements and costs vary by location.
