Reasonable electrician rate
I have an estimate from an electrician for a bunch of work that will take about 3 days for 2-3 people. He's charging hourly at $70/hr per person, plus supplies. This is a small electrical firm, and the job will be done by him and a couple of helpers. He is licensed and insured.
Is this at all a reasonable rate? Or should I negotiate?

Sounds reasonable to me. Our eletrician charges 95 an hour for himself, and somewhat less for assistants.

licensed plumbers charge 125-150 per hour, your electricians sound cheap in comparison

$210.00 an hour is too much for one licensed electrician and two helpers. Figure $15.00 to $20.00 per hour for the helpers and $100.00 per hour for the electrician, not counting supplies. That's $130.00 to $140.00 per hour. Why does he need two helpers? Usually they work with one unless it's a big job.
