FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We typically prefer to avoid billing by the hour and would rather provide a quote to the customer so that we can give you a guaranteed price for the work that needs to be completed. This way there are no surprise costs to the customer

For normal repairs and maintenance where the customer isn’t in any danger, we schedule work between the hours of 8 am and 4 pm, Monday through Friday. We are on call 24/7 should you ever find yourself in a potentially hazardous situation. There are additional charges for emergency call outs, but we will get someone out as soon as possible to ensure your safety. The electrician will let you know if your situation constitutes an emergency and requires immediate service

For larger projects that require multiple days and ordering of materials etc (large renovations, service upgrades, generator installs) we generally collect a 50% deposit to secure scheduling and order all necessary parts for the work, and bill for the rest after completion.

We believe you have a right to know in advance what the cost of your electrical work will be. We offer competitive prices and once we identify your electrical problem, we will provide you with an accurate electrical quote upfront, so there are no surprises.
