What the visit involves
An electrician's service call fee is the charge for sending someone qualified to the house. On price lists it is often a flat amount, and what it includes varies from company to company.
It is not the whole bill. Electrical troubleshooting is the longer search for the cause, and the repair itself is usually priced after that. On a quick problem, the fee may be most of the charge.
Planned work such as a new outlet or a fixture is more often quoted as a job, while a service call is for something that has gone wrong.
What moves the price
- What the fee covers
- Some fees include a first stretch of time on site, and others cover the trip only and bill time after that. Ask what the amount buys.
- Quick fixes on the spot
- If the electrician can fix a small problem during the visit, the fee may cover it or the repair may be added on top. Ask which before work starts.
- Flat rate or hourly
- Some companies price a repair as a set amount for the job, and others bill by the hour after the fee. The same fee can lead to very different totals.
- Planned job or a problem
- Some companies waive the fee when you book a planned job such as a panel upgrade and charge it for a problem visit.
- Cancellations and no-shows
- Some companies charge the fee if you cancel late or no one is home when the electrician arrives.
Getting a quote
Questions to ask each electrician before you compare prices:
- Does the fee buy only the trip, or some time on site as well?
- Does the fee come off the bill if you do the repair?
- After the fee, do you charge by the hour or give a set price for the job?
- Will you tell me what the repair costs before you start it?
- What happens to the fee if I cancel or I am not home?
