Estimating and Billing

 

Due to the fact that most of our work is concentrated in the renovation/repair/update areas of the industry, we have structured our estimating and billing system to be consistent with the services that we provide. 

 

For Service Calls and Time & Material work we bill as follows:

 

We charge a minimum service charge of which is DUE at the time of service. 

    $125.50/1 man crew OR $217.50/2 man crew

The nature of the work to be done determines the number of electricians sent to the job.

 

You may pay by check or credit card.

 

Any additional time and material will be billed after our crew returns to the office & turns in their work report.  (See Time & Material Terms)

 

 

 

 

 

Time & Material Terms

 

Time charge for cases where one electrician can safely complete the specified work is invoiced at $125.50 for the first ½ hour of work including travel/setup, plus $95.00/hour after the first ½ hour plus installed material cost.  The invoiced amount is determined by time and installed material expenses incurred each work day/trip and any out of pocket expenses such as parking, permit fees and the like.

 

Time charge for cases where two electricians are required to safely complete the specified work is invoiced at @$217.50  for the first ½ hour of working including travel/setup, plus $95.00/hr for the lead electrician and $75/hr for each additional crew after the first ½ hour (installed material and out of pocket expenses are invoiced same as above).

 

 

Estimates 

 

Estimates are typically based on one site visit, photos and our Project Manager’s initial evaluation.  Our first step is to set the parameters for the scope of work based on what we could determine based on visual inspection, and provide an estimate for this initial phase of work.  Often, this first phase takes care of everything for our customers, so no further estimates are required.  If we do find any other electrical issues (such as overloaded circuits, or circuits connected to the wrong apartment panel, etc), we provide a second estimate to correct everything we discovered. 

 

Our existing customers have learned to appreciate our step-by-step approach, since this way they know they are only paying for work that actually needs to be done, rather than paying a contractor an inflated amount to cover any problems that they might/might not encounter once they start the job. 

 

We look forward to hearing from you.

Since we are a green company we prefer to invoice by email and to be paid by credit/debit card whenever possible to cut down on paper usage.  If you do not have an email address we will invoice you by mail.
