Domestic electrical work, done properly

Hour Electric is a York electrical services business built around the everyday jobs in people’s homes: sockets, switches, light fittings, extractor fans, outdoor lighting and faults. Bookings are fulfilled by suitably qualified Hour Electric electricians who turn up when you expect them, with the tools and common parts for the jobs you’ve described.

Built for small jobs

Most electrical contractors are set up for bigger projects. That’s fine, but it leaves homeowners in York struggling to get anyone interested in a cracked socket or a single light fitting. We’ve designed the whole business around that gap. Small jobs aren’t a favour here. They’re the work.

If you’ve got a handful of things to sort, put them all on one booking. Read more about small electrical jobs in York.

Booked by the hour

Rather than a quote for each job, you book a one-hour visit at a fixed price. Your electrician works through your list in the order you set. If something needs longer, you can add time on the day where available, or we’ll arrange a separate quotation for larger work. See how pricing works.

Booked online

Pick a date, choose a morning, afternoon or evening arrival window, describe each job, add photos if you like, and add a card to confirm. You get a confirmation straight away and your electrician’s details before the visit. Nothing is charged until after the visit. See how it works.
