Hire an electrician by recording a video

Electrical work is all about details a homeowner can't always describe — panel brand, breaker layout, outlet type, wiring age. A short video lets a licensed electrician size up the job and the safety risks before they ever pick up the phone.

What to film for a electrical job

A good electrician can quote far more accurately when they see these things in your video:

  • Open your electrical panel cover and slowly pan across the breakers and labels
  • Show the specific outlet, switch, or fixture that isn't working
  • Film any scorch marks, buzzing sounds, or flickering lights as they happen
  • Capture the room and ceiling height if you want new fixtures, fans, or recessed lighting
  • Note whether the home is older (knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring is common in homes built before 1975)

What electricians look for

  • Panel brand and available capacity for added circuits
  • Whether existing wiring is up to current code
  • Safety hazards that need priority attention
  • How much drywall or access work the job will require

Common electrical projects

Whatever the job, showing it on video gets you connected with electricians who actually do that work.

How VideoTag works

No phone tag, no vague quotes, no pay-per-lead fees. Here's how homeowners connect with local electricians:

Record it

Use your phone to record a short video of the project — show the problem and the space around it.

Tag it

Our AI turns your video into a clear job post with a title and description, so local pros know exactly what's involved.

Send it

Nearby contractors watch your video and decide if they're a fit. You connect only with the ones you choose.

Frequently asked questions

Is it safe to film my electrical panel?

Filming the panel with the cover on is completely safe — just open the outer door, not the inner panel cover. Never touch wires. The video gives the electrician everything they need without you taking any risk.

Can I get an EV charger quote this way?

Yes — film your panel, then walk to where you park and show the distance and wall. Electricians can estimate the run length and panel capacity, which are the two things that drive an EV charger price.
