What does an electrician charge in Mount Vernon, NY?
Expect the same structure as the national market: roughly $50-$150 per hour for licensed residential work plus a trip fee of about $75-$200, with most common jobs priced flat-rate per task.

How do I know the electrician is licensed?
Ask for the licence number before work begins and confirm it with the licensing authority for your state or municipality.

A licensed contractor will give you the number, and usually the insurance certificate too, without being asked twice.
