Cost is a big reason that homeowners don't request 24-hour emergency service from an electric company. However, expenses are never a good reason to hold off on taking the proper safety precautions. At Mr. Electric of Chattanooga, we make every effort to keep costs low and pass savings on to our customers. Before we ever begin work, we'll present you with an accurate estimate, so you'll know upfront how much the total bill will be. While it's difficult to give a price range for electrician emergency services because of the sheer variety of issues, we can provide an overview of what influences costs. Here's what our estimates take into account:

• Location/Distance—Each Mr. Electric location sets its own rates, and prices at Mr. Electric of Chattanooga may be different from a location across the state. Distance is also a big factor in price, as we may need to charge more to customers who live on the outskirts of our service area.
• Parts—Replacement parts are one of the biggest influences on cost. If you only need a few screws replaced, your bill won't go up much. But the entire electrical panel needs to go, you'll see a more expensive price tag.
• Expertise—Our electricians have years of experience in the industry and complete every job right the first time. Professionals with more knowledge and skills may come with a higher expense.
• Time—Time is money—the longer it takes to perform a repair, the more the work could cost. In most cases, you can expect a flat fee for emergency calls, but your cost may increase if the work takes several hours.
