Yesterday our neighbors stopped by to see if they could use our laundry room while they waited on their power to be restored at home. Unfortunately, they didn’t have a generator so they had to place a lot of projects on hold. A couple of hours eventually turned into them staying over for dinner, and then we helped them with additional chores the following day. Although we didn’t mind, my husband and I started being grateful for the electrician we have as a friend. It’s good to have electricians as friends because they can get you priority service, budget priced repairs, and expert advice.

Priority Service
Friendships and good business relationships can work the same way. When you call a buddy about a repair there is more flexibility, but then there is also a better chance of you getting pushed to the top of the queue. Friends who are electricians can check out your problem while they are over for a chat or they can make time for you after they finish their business for the day. It’s a convenience you both can share and benefit from. You can also depend on your fiend to give you honest and reliable service. Make an electrician friend so that any time you need any emergency electrician services albuquerque nm you’ll have your favorite electrician’s number close by.
Budget Priced Repairs
A friend that comes over after hours will most likely not charge you an emergency service fee. They may or may not charge you at all depending on the conversation you have with them. I’d always be prepared to pay something so no one feels taken advantage of, but make sure you discuss it and make no assumptions. Paying your friend is beneficial to their business, even at a discount if you purchase all the supplies. After hours repairs can be quite expensive. I would check with my friend first to see if they can help me before I make the call to another business.
Expert Advice
