Most electrical work falls between $2,061 and $8,038, with a typical figure near $4,070 per job. The low end is a straightforward job with no surprises; the high end covers complex scope, premium materials or urgent timing.

Compare the written scope first, then the price. Providers serving Tennessee can tell you how it affects a typical job. ### Is Electrical cheaper in smaller cities? Often, but not always. Smaller markets can carry a travel or availability premium that offsets a lower local rate, so it is worth checking a nearby city before assuming the lowest published figure applies to you. Where you are in Tennessee can change the detail, so compare nearby quotes. ### How many quotes should I get for electrical work? Two or three written quotes are enough to see the real market range. Compare the same scope side by side, and ask each provider what is excluded and what would change the price after the quote is accepted. The specifics vary across Tennessee, so confirm them with the provider you hire. ## Keep comparing - [Home Services](/category/home-services/) - [Water Treatment](/tennessee/water-softener/) - [Roofing](/tennessee/roofing/) - [Concrete](/tennessee/concrete/) - [Heating and Cooling](/tennessee/hvac/) - [Garage Doors](/tennessee/garage-doors/) - [Fencing](/tennessee/fencing/) - [Alabama](/alabama/electrical/) - [Alaska](/alaska/electrical/) - [Arizona](/arizona/electrical/) - [Arkansas](/arkansas/electrical/) - [California](/california/electrical/) - [Colorado](/colorado/electrical/) - [Connecticut](/connecticut/electrical/) - [Delaware](/delaware/electrical/) - [District of Columbia](/district-of-columbia/electrical/) - [Florida](/florida/electrical/) - [Georgia](/georgia/electrical/) - [Hawaii](/hawaii/electrical/) - [Idaho](/idaho/electrical/) - [Illinois](/illinois/electrical/) - [Indiana](/indiana/electrical/) - [Iowa](/iowa/electrical/) - [Kansas](/kansas/electrical/) - [Kentucky](/kentucky/electrical/) - [Louisiana](/louisiana/electrical/) - [Maine](/maine/electrical/) - [Maryland](/maryland/electrical/) - [Massachusetts](/massachusetts/electrical/) - [Michigan](/michigan/electrical/) - [Minnesota](/minnesota/electrical/) - [Mississippi](/mississippi/electrical/) - [Missouri](/missouri/electrical/) - [Montana](/montana/electrical/) - [Nebraska](/nebraska/electrical/) - [Nevada](/nevada/electrical/) - [New Hampshire](/new-hampshire/electrical/) - [New Jersey](/new-jersey/electrical/) - [New Mexico](/new-mexico/electrical/) - [New York](/new-york/electrical/) - [North Carolina](/north-carolina/electrical/) - [North Dakota](/north-dakota/electrical/) - [Ohio](/ohio/electrical/) - [Oklahoma](/oklahoma/electrical/) - [Oregon](/oregon/electrical/) - [Pennsylvania](/pennsylvania/electrical/) - [Rhode Island](/rhode-island/electrical/) - [South Carolina](/south-carolina/electrical/) - [South Dakota](/south-dakota/electrical/) - [Tennessee](/tennessee/electrical/) - [Texas](/texas/electrical/) - [Utah](/utah/electrical/) - [Vermont](/vermont/electrical/) - [Virginia](/virginia/electrical/) - [Washington](/washington/electrical/) - [West Virginia](/west-virginia/electrical/) - [Wisconsin](/wisconsin/electrical/) - [Wyoming](/wyoming/electrical/) - [Ontario](/ontario/electrical/) - [Quebec](/quebec/electrical/) - [British Columbia](/british-columbia/electrical/) - [Alberta](/alberta/electrical/) - [Saskatchewan](/saskatchewan/electrical/) - [Manitoba](/manitoba/electrical/) - [Nova Scotia](/nova-scotia/electrical/) - [New Brunswick](/new-brunswick/electrical/) - [Newfoundland and Labrador](/newfoundland-and-labrador/electrical/) - [Prince Edward Island](/prince-edward-island/electrical/) - [Chattanooga](/chattanooga/) - [Clarksville](/clarksville/) - [Knoxville](/knoxville/) - [Memphis](/memphis/) - [Murfreesboro](/murfreesboro/) - [Nashville](/nashville/) --- These are planning ranges drawn from public price data and market research.
