How much do you charge?
We charge by the job and not by the hour. You approve the price before
any work is performed. We don’t give estimates, we give firm quotes for everything
we do. We have some people who work at the company who are faster than others. With
that in mind, we decided our prices should be the same for everyone, regardless
of who does the work. All our work is done in accordance with national, state and
local building codes and is performed to the highest possible standards. Once the
parameters of the job are outlined and a price is given, that is the price. It will
not go up. Jobs we do are listed in our price book. The price is the same for everyone.
It doesn’t matter what neighborhood you live in, your age or your income level,
it’s set and it’s listed in our price book.

How do I know what work will be done?
You approve the price before any work is performed. We will give you expert
advise and make every attempt to give you all the information necessary for you
to make the best decision possible. We will give you options and let you choose
what’s best for you.

How do you calculate your prices?
We do thousands of jobs each year. Each job in the price book has a history
behind it. We have time and material statistics for most jobs that we have done.
To compute a job rate, we take the average time and material for that job and use
that data in conjunction with all of our other cost of doing business to calculate
a final price. We review our prices each year and adjust them if necessary.

Can you do the job in one visit?
In most cases, yes. The reason we can complete most jobs on the first visit
is our preparation. Our service vehicles are virtual mobile warehouses. We stock
the most commonly used parts. It’s also equipped with almost every specialty tool
a technician would need. If we don’t have the part on board, we’ll do whatever we
have to, to find the item and get it out to your home ASAP.

Who will be coming out to my house?
When it’s time for your service, we’ll call and let you know who’s on the
way. We like to think it really doesn’t matter which of our technicians are assigned
to your job because each of our technicians are highly trained and capable. They are the most qualified, neat, clean, and professional people in the industry.

Do you charge to come out?
We do have a service fee. This fee is a flat rate price the covers our
trip and review time, regardless of how long it takes to identify your problem.
Unlike other companies that charge by the hour.

How is payment made?
We take cash, check, Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. All
our work is done by paying when the job is complete; you don’t have to worry about
a bill in the mail. We are able to keep your cost lower by not having to pass receivable
cost to good customers.

When are you open for business?
Our regular hours are Monday through Friday 8:00am to 5:00pm. We do have
emergency service available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

Can you give me a price quote over the phone?
Unfortunately we can’t. Even the simplest job can require additional work
that we can’t possibly anticipate over the phone. There are far too many variables
that come into play including service access, condition of existing parts and adherence
to building codes. You see, even if we didn’t perform the original work, we could
be liable for any code violations we come across once we work at your home. The
only way to give you an accurate price quote is to view your problem first hand.
We’d caution you to keep that in mind if you’ve gotten phone quotes from other companies.
It’s not uncommon for some companies to quote a low price on the phone, and charge
you more once they’ve done the job.

How long will I have to wait for service? Do I have to stay
at home all day?
In most cases we can get to you within 24 hours. We typically can’t tell
you exactly what time we’ll arrive because we never know how long the job before
yours is going to take. You certainly don’t have to wait around all day for us.
We’ll be happy to call your cell or work phone 30 minutes before coming to your
home. That should allow you to go about your normal day and return home only when
we get there. For your convenience, we do offer “Guaranteed First Calls” in the
morning when available. The actual time can vary from 7:30 to 8:30 but we’ll let
you know your time in advance. Just request “ First Call” when you schedule your
service.

Are you going to create a mess in my home?
Sometimes we must open up walls and ceilings to gain access to your electrical
system. Rest assured we make every effort to insure we don’t damage anything in
your home or leave it dirty or dusty. We’ll clean up any “mess” we make. If you’re
not satisfied with the clean up, call us immediately and we will re-clean. We’re
not done until your completely satisfied.

I haven’t ever called an electrician before. What should I
expect?
We are serious about our customer service and your safety. We do background
checks and drug screen our technicians to ensure we have the best personnel in your
home. Your first interaction with our company will be a friendly voice of one of
our professional customer service people eager to assist you in setting up an appointment.

What if my job turns into a larger project, do you have any
payment options?

I am a busy person and in the past I have had contractors who
make multiple trips to fix the problem, do you operate that way?
We arrive at your home in a fully stocked super truck with all the equipment
we will need for most home repairs. If we don’t have it with us, one of our delivery
vehicles will bring it to your home in minutes so we can be efficient with your
time. On the other hand, many of our customers have us do additional work while
we are there. We are happy to stay and take care of anything you want in one trip.
This saves you money because we are able to group the jobs together.
