"Up Charge Electric"
Had a breaker switch pop off and would not reset. Looked at the websites for several local electricians. "In Charge Electric" in Leesburg was all about their many 5 star reviews. Said they give a discount to residents in The Villages.
The guy came and flipped the breaker and it worked, no need to replace it or do anything else. Charged $144.00 Wonder how much they charge for actual work?

I agree that you were overcharged. They obviously are not interested in making you a regular customer.
For those who don't know, when a circuit breaker trips, you need to push the switch to the "off" position and then push it to the "on" position. It is a two part process to reset the breaker. |

Whether you push it to the left or to the right to turn it on depends on which side of the panel the breaker is located. Breakers on the right side need to be pushed to the right and then to the left to turn it on.

I think it was a bad business decision to charge that much to a new customer who really didn't have a problem that required any work. It would have been better if the company had told the customer that the minimum charge was going to be $144 before he agreed to the visit. But, as a customer, I would have asked about the minimum charge in advance.

Lenhardt charges $95.00 for a visit. I have always been pleased with their prompt and friendly service.

How much does your Dr charge for a “check” appointment? (At his office, not at your home)
Even if no actual work is needed?? |

Seems like $96 for at least an hour of travel time and $48 for knowing more about electrical switches than you do and teaching you about it. Maybe not a bad deal.
