Depending on the age and condition of the GFI I may offer to replace it for only $xx more. How would it look if later it was there was something loose yet it was not even looked at.Ĭhanged my direction. First I would investigate and inspect any item related to the call. Then I realized I was doing a disservice to the customer. The customer feels dumb, they could have done the work. The company would want and need to charge a minimum amount. If you spent only 5 minutess to turn something on, reset GFI, reset breaker, change smoke detector batteries, plug in something, tighten light bulb, adjust thermostat, etc nobody was happy. I got into trouble when starting resi service working for others.

Also not getting much from additional work or material. I have seen negative reviews too but it's free to start I believe so how bad can it be?Ĭlick to expand.Don't take it the wrong way but it seems like your not charging enough for a service call. They take a hefty fee but they also deal with billing and they pay you direct not the customer.

NOTE* One I would also pursue if in a larger town and wanted more work is Amazons new service provider network. that's what I'm still doing now and I have too much work but doing so will tell me the routes to pursue further when times are slow.

People on this site tend to trash some of them but the ones they trash have actually been the best for me so do them all and try the paid ones and see what has the best returns imo. Stores, gas stations, restaurants, every business you go in for normal daily things (they all use electricity).ĭefinately take advantage of all free advertising you can (FB, CL, Yelp, Google, website) lots more there. Pay attention to whose advertising heavy in your area (Angies List, Homeadvisor, Yelp, etc) that's who people in your demographic will call because that's who they see and hear.Īlso leave a card EVERYWHERE you go.
