Literally all my customers do. I know some electricians that are now getting $135 an hour. The thing you have to understand about being a self-employed electrician, is that there are going to be hours that you cannot bill. Because of that you generally need to have a higher billable hourly rate.

Per hour including travel, parts runs etc. like a mechanic… add OT/ call fees and that adds up! HOWEVER Folks deserve to be covered for running a good proper business and stepping up to help us in emergencies at all hours. Thank you!!
