Why Us?

Recently my mother called me about a local contractor was going to charge her, now get this, $499 just to replace a thermostat inside their home.  All that was needed was a $30--$40 thermostat bought at Lowes and 30 minutes.  A different HVAC contractor was going to charge her $100 per hour per technician working on a different project.  Another local contractor recently charged another family member $160 before they would show up to look at a plumbing job. And to add to that, they charged her $400 just to snake it.  A good friend of mine just told me that it cost him $2,000 just repair a pin hole in an AC line.  That is just plain ridiculous.  People are being robbed!  These companies charge a ridiculous amount of money just to show up, and that's before any repairs are made!

Why hire a large more expensive licensed contractor to perform smaller jobs that an independent electrician or plumber will do at a fraction of the costs with the same professionalism?  A lot of people in local rural areas are lower income and cannot afford to pay those higher rates especially for a smaller job.  Big contractors only charge higher rates because they know that people will pay that much because they need the work done no matter how little money they have.   

At Thompson’s Electrical Service, you’re not dealing with a large company, you’re working directly with an independent, licensed and experienced electrician.

Why Choose an Independent Electrician?

Here’s why many home and small business owners prefer an independent electrician:

  • Personal & Direct Services
    • You work directly with the electrician performing the job, not a paid salesperson or project manager.
  • More Affordable Rates
    • Lower overhead allows for competitive pricing without sacrificing quality.
  • Faster Scheduling
    • Independent electricians can often start jobs more quickly and respond faster to urgent needs.
  • Greater Flexibility
    • Willing to take on both small repairs and larger projects that some big contractors may overlook due to not being a money maker. 
    • It's all about the money!
  • Higher Attention to Detail
    • Personal reputation is on the line with every job, resulting in cleaner workmanship
  • Simpler Process
    • No layers of management
    • Just straightforward, honest service from start to finish.
