A real person picks up the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, holidays included. No answering service taking a message for Monday.
Breakers, devices, wire, connectors and common fixtures ride with us, so most repairs finish on the same visit instead of waiting on a parts run.

Written price before any work begins. If you want to think about it, that is fine — there is no pressure and no charge for the quote on quoted work.
