How Our Pricing Works
Fair, Transparent Electrical Pricing
At Current Electrical Systems, we believe you should only pay for the work you actually need. That's why most of our work is billed on time and materials, not an inflated flat rate.
- No inflated estimates

Our Pricing Promise
You Pay for the Work We Perform
Because electrical troubleshooting can be unpredictable, most of our work is performed on a time-and-material basis. Rather than inflating a fixed-price estimate to cover unexpected issues, we charge only for the actual time spent completing your job and the materials used.
Your time starts when our electrician arrives and ends when the work is completed. If we solve the problem faster than expected, you pay for the time we actually worked, not a higher amount built into a flat-rate price.
It's a simple approach: fair pricing, transparent billing, and paying only for the work we perform.

No Inflated Estimates
We never pad a flat price to cover what might go wrong.
Pay for Actual Time Worked
Your time starts when we arrive and ends when the work is done.
No Scheduling Fees
We don't charge a fee just to schedule an appointment.
Flat-Rate Pricing vs. Time and Material
Many electrical companies quote from a flat-rate price book. Those prices have to cover the hardest version of every job, so a simple fix often costs as much as a difficult one.

Questions About Our Pricing
When Does the Clock Start?
Your time starts when our electrician arrives at your home and ends when the work is completed. You pay for the time spent on your job and the materials used.
Do You Charge a Fee to Come Out?
No. We don't charge a fee just to schedule an appointment. Your time starts when our electrician arrives at your home, and you pay for the time worked and the materials used.
Why Don’t You Use Flat-Rate Pricing?
Electrical troubleshooting can be unpredictable. A flat price has to cover the worst case, so most homeowners end up paying for problems they never had. Billing time and materials means you pay only for the work we perform.
How Do You Price Larger Projects?
For projects like rewiring, a 200 amp service upgrade or an EV charger, we visit first, look at the job and give you an honest estimate of the time and materials involved. Project walkthroughs are free.
What If You Find Something Unexpected?
Older homes can hide surprises inside the walls. If we find a condition that changes the job, we stop and talk with you about it before doing anything beyond what we agreed on.
Do You Require a Deposit?
For larger projects, we may ask for a small deposit before work begins. We will always discuss it with you in advance, so there are no surprises on the day we start.
