I found this company on Google who states they do not charge call out fees. When I call I was also not told to first get an onsite quote. They arrived and within minutes explained that the ceiling light fitting was old and that the one wire was lose. It took 10 min to attach the wire. No quote given. I then with the two electricians realised that the wall light switch was also old and faulty. Again the electrician went to his car to get a wall switch without telling met the price All of the above took 25 minutes I assumed after years of using electricians they charge between R450 and R 500 per hour for labour. I then had 3 additional light switches in my bedroom that were faulty. I had bought these light switches at Builders warehouse for R49.00 a piece. I asked them while they were here to replace the 3 switches again not getting quoted. From the time they had arrived to getting the invoice of R2450. 00 One Hour had passed. The invoice breakdown as follows. Re attaching the wire on ceiling light 20 min R1200. 00 wall light Switch R650. 00 (Builders Warehouse price R 49.00 Replacing 3 wall light switches labour only 15 min. Total invoice R2450. 00 Most electricians charge per hour. This total job should have not been more than R1200. 00 I then consulted hello Peter and found enough proof that I was being ripped off. Be aware to get a quote before you give the go ahead.
