Unlike other franchise electrician companies that pull you in with a $29 service call fee and then often end up surprising you with a huge bill before they leave, we do things differently.
1. Our electricians are not paid on a sales commission–meaning you will NOT be sold things you don’t need.
2. Unlike others that charge on a “per-item” basis (which drastically increases the price you pay), we simply charge for our time and materials, at a rate that we can pay our electricians a fair living wage. It’s simple, easy to understand, and there are no surprises for our customers.
3. For Residential Service Calls, our pricing is $175 for the first hour of work, and then $55 for every hour after that, plus the cost of materials.
4. You can use that time however you want, for us to fix or work on whatever you like.
As a Florida homeowner, you have an endless list of choices for electrical contractors to hire…some great, some good, some bad.
