The fact you couldn't figure out the breaker problem isn't his fault. You should have posted here FIRST! He may have spent 10 minutes at your house but he probably spent an hour in total driving back and forth to you, plus gas, wear and tear, insurance, payroll and the possibility he could have been somewhere else making $500 for his company. High, yes, but not close to being a rip off. I called one of the "big" plumbers here who had their sticker on our water heater when we first moved in and I was told up front they charge a minimum of $109 to walk in the door which includes 30 minutes of service then an hourly charge after that of $89 billed in 30 minute increments. I have learned to ALWAYS ASK THEIR MINIMUM FEES first.
EDIT: Your guy in question here advertises "up front pricing". I have never been a fan of "UP FRONT PRICING" as it is either too high for a specific task or not "up front." I had that with Lenhart Electrician to install an extra outlet in the master bathroom which I know I could have done myself. Gave me "up front pricing" of $99 on the phone but when they got here the pricing went out the back door by 50% for all kinds of absurd reasons. Ended up paying the extra $50 which was my own stupid fault for being lazy but definitely learned my lesson. "Up front pricing" ALWAYS has fine print. Quote:

If you guys think 96 bucks is fair for an hour of travel time (plus 46 for knowledge), I'm glad I didn't need to do business with you.
This week a guy came to my home and did an annual service on my cart including oil and a filter. The bill was less than what they charged this lady.

We use Pike's Electric. When we called for service the person we spoke with told us up front that we would incur a service charge for the tech to just show up. Did In Charge tell you this?
