A.B. Electrical Services
I am primarily a residential electrical service provider. Anything from simple light, ceiling fan and device updating, etc., to electrical issue trouble shooting, electrical panel and service upgrades, home additions and renovations, as well as new construction wiring. I do offer commercial electrical service and installation. But I’d say 99.9% of my business is residential service.
I receive a call for services, the first thing I primarily need to do is visit the home if it’s anything other than “ive got new lights to change out” or something to this affect. I do normally do this for “free”. Once I arrive I assess and give a quote to fix the issue or complete the needed task and schedule if the customer is ready. One thing I do hear a lot is that, I’m the only guy they called that was willing to come out and take a look. It seems other companies are a bit lazy about this and provide blind quotes to customers. I won’t do it. I need to see the variables. The age of the home, the possible issues present, the amount of material(s) required. It’s all a factor. The response is usually appreciation and a scheduled job.
The day of the job it is utmost importance to show up on time. No one likes a late appointment especially if they’ve been sitting around waiting for this mid day appointment due to availability. Being on time is the first line of trust. This dude said he’d be here at 1:00 and he pulled up at 12:59. That goes miles with people especially when it comes to being used in the future. You’re dependable. If I am going to be late or early for any reason the customer is contacted and informed.
Once the job has started the goal is good work, but quick efficient work. You’ll also see by my reviews that this is a common comment. “he was fast and affordable, he had complete knowledge of the task, he showed up on time”. No one likes a slow contractor invading the home. This is my job in this home, this is what I need to do to get it done, work commences, job is done efficiently so the customer can get on with their day. No smoking, no breaks, work till it’s done, thanks for having us out ma’am call again anytime, and out.

Common questions and answers
acting quickly to have the issue assessed and fixed is the best way to avoid possible issues. Any device or light not working properly in the home should be serviced as soon as possible.
