  Universal law of tradesmen: They come when you don’t expect them, and when you expect them they don’t come.

    They won’t come until you go run a 10 minute errand.

  Well, I’m not an electrnctian, but, I work in a similar trade. Generally when customers ask this question the answer is because I had 4 customers before you, and one of them talked the entire time I was trying to work, and another I did a complete renovation of the system. Often times, it makes way more sense to finish what you started than to stay “on schedule”. Which is why there are appointment windows generally. Trust me, all we want to do it go home and your appointment is what’s between me and that goal. We don’t want to take anymore time than we have to.

      If he was a consultant it would look like this:

      1. Evaluate a method for information gathering that meets all requirements and has the highest probability rate of success:

      • This method shall be encompassing and have a modular scheme where further information gathering is possible while happening under the actual time frame.

      I just feel dirty now.

  Happened to use some time ago. A technician was scheduled on us for between 8am and 6pm to replace a meter. Guess who didn’t come? So we called and asked what had happened. “Oh, he called in sick this morning, but we didn’t have your telephone number to inform you!” Funny how they had called us a week before to tell us about the technician, though.

  He knows there are no other electricians in your area, supply of tradesmen is below demand and will go lower, he should charge double as well.
