It takes an electrician about 3-10 days to wire a house in Punta Gorda, FL. Some things that can cause the time to vary are:

The average cost of hiring an electrician is around $75 per hour, with average rates ranging from $50 to $100 per hour. The hourly pricing for hiring an electrician is determined by the electrician's level of expertise and the type of work to be performed. More involved improvements, such as replacing an electrical panel or rewiring the house, might cost anywhere from $2,000 to $6,000 or more.
A faulty connection may have caused your outlet to cease operating. A box is used to install outlets, and this box may have problems such as a loose connection or broken screws. The outlet will stop working if the outlet's box cannot deliver adequate electricity.
The symptoms of a faulty connection are almost exactly like those of defective wiring. The difficulty of diagnosing the problem without the assistance of an electrical specialist is too much for most DIY'ers. If you suspect that your outlet does not have a proper connection, contact a professional electrician for a more thorough examination.
First and foremost, double-check that you're resetting the breaker correctly. Make sure you're pressing the breaker handle all the way to the off position before returning it to the on position. A circuit breaker that trips repeatedly is a sign of an overloaded circuit. An overloaded circuit is generally caused by too many heavy loads being put into the same receptacles or outlets on the same circuit, or by a defective appliance being plugged into the circuit. The best way to solve overloaded circuits is by upgrading your electrical panel.
