Idaho Electricians

Hiring an Electrician in Idaho

Buildermuse currently lists 10 electricians in Idaho, averaging 4.9 stars across 4,035 verified Google reviews. That is an unusually strong field — when nearly every firm clears 4.8 stars, response time and availability become the real differentiators, so call two or three rather than only the top result. Most of the crews above operate out of Boise, Meridian, and Declo.

Idaho licenses this trade at the state level: the Electrical credential is required for all work, regardless of project size. Licensed through Division of Building Safety. Licenses renew on an annual cycle (July 1). Expect a $50 state application fee. Verify any license directly with the Idaho Division of Building Safety at (208) 332-7100 before signing a contract.

Labor is the biggest line item on most bids, and the Idaho market sets the floor: construction workers here average $31.20 an hour — about $64,896 a year — across 70,986 workers statewide, per Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Use that figure as a sanity check when comparing quotes — a bid priced far below market labor rates usually means subcontracted or uninsured crews.
