The electrician was appointed to come here today. Now I am waiting. Why isn’t he here yet?
Universal law of tradesmen: They come when you least expect them, and when you expect them they don’t come.
You final get someone, but they don’t want the work so they quote far too high
They won’t come until you go run a 10 minute errand.
This is a very good question and I would like to see a tradesman respond.
He knows there are no other electricians in your area, supply of tradesmen is below demand and will go lower, he should charge double as well.
You see, during one of his earlier appointments, he found himself wrapped up in some intriguing circumstances with a lady client, and now he’s running late for everything else.
Well, I’m not an electrician, but, I work in a similar trade. Generally when customers ask this question the answer is because I had 4 customers before you, and one of them talked the entire time I was trying to work, and another I did a complete renovation of the system. Often times, it makes way more sense to finish what you started than to stay “on schedule”. Which is why there are appointment windows generally. Trust me, all we want to do is go home and your appointment is what’s between me and that goal. We don’t want to take anymore time than we have to.
