Shiloh Electrical Solutions LLC

Some of the changes I mentioned earlier have been implemented.

We are now Shiloh Electrical Solutions LLC.

Also starting immediately is Service Fees. If we are coming on a troubleshooting call and your fix involves no needed parts and is completed in the first hour, then you will not be charged additionally. Basically, the service fee covers our fuel cost and one hour.

If we are coming to give an estimate, a consultation fee will be charged and taken off at the very end of the project completion. Please note…if we are providing estimates and quotes, we will not be discussing particulars of how the job will be completed until we are awarded the job. If we are not awarded the job, the consultation fee is non-refundable.

If we begin a job and during the process it is decided by the customer that they are going to finish themselves or get someone under the table to finish it, and it is necessary to call us back to correct mistakes or help pass inspections, we will gladly do so for a 10% increase on our normally charged rates, and a retainer fee of $100…..and the repairs and/or completion will be done to my standards. Don’t like it?? Then either let us finish from the get go or call someone else. Doesn’t matter to me.

There are a few other things coming, but they are currently not in place yet. Any questions, feel free to reach out.

We are now doing our cool season testing, cleaning, and lighting pilots.

Does it help? You be the judge…

Today I did one for a yearly customer. Upon inspection and leak test, a propane leak was discovered both inside and outside. The leaks were repaired, the unit cleaned, and the system placed in operation. That yearly appointment that is most always between $65-$100…depending on location and work needed…could have very well saved a tragic situation from happening. At the very least it saved money.

And talk to any tech or manufacturer about how much more efficient a unit will operate if cleaned regularly. That also saves money and aggravation.

People wonder why hiring a licensed tradesman costs like it does. I can’t speak for all trades, but I am a licensed master electrician, electrician contractor, propane technician, and Generac installer.

In order to maintain my licenses, I pay $500 per year. I pay $1800 per year on general liability insurance. Plus I go through 18 total hours of accredited CEU training every year that’s mandatory.

In order to become licensed, I had to apprentice as an electrician for 8 years, and pass a test only 10% of applicants pass on the first try…most take 3-4 attempts. I worked in the propane field for almost 3 years on the job and went through hours of quarterly training for that.

Then there’s the specialty tools required to do the work and the dangers involved with the work itself.

Hopefully that helps folks understand why it costs to get someone that’s licensed and insured.
