3. Replace old appliances with new energy efficient ones.
4. Turn off any unnecessary lighting and leave all lights home when you’re not home, this can reduce you energy bills significantly.

Electrical

Do you have blinking lights, circuit breakers tripped, outlets or lights not working? Would you like a ceiling fan installed, new light fixtures, your power upgraded? Let the experts at Presto Electric give you a helping hand.

We strive to provide the highest standards of service. We provide quality work with value to our customers. And we do the job right, the first time.

And that's not all! You can trust Presto Electric to serve all of your residential, commercial and industrial electrical needs. No job is too small, so don't hesitate to give us a call.

Flat Rate

We offer low cost financing through BGE and a local financing company, talk to one of our customer service representatives for rates and terms.

Some companies that “bill by the hour” may charge more for runaround time and pay their low-skilled technicians less as they “check out the problem.” Some may bill for runaround time because they may not carry a sufficient inventory of parts on their truck especially for equipment that is more than 10 years old where the problems usually occur. You won’t have to worry about that with us! Our trucks carry hundreds of parts and supplies, which means we’ll probably have the parts you need with us when we arrive. And if we don’t, you won’t be charged extra for us to get it.

The bottom line is: you’ll always know what’s expected before the repair is done, and you never pay for unexpected labor hours.

Home Safety Inspection

The safety of your home's electrical system is not something that should be taken for granted. The truth is, electrical system malfunctions are one of the leading causes of residential fires.

That's why, at Presto Electric, we recommend you have your home's electrical systems checked every two to three years. And we provide a special Home Safety Inspection to do it.

This service inspects the condition of your electrical appliances as well as your wiring outlets, switches and other electrical fixtures. It's true, electrical componants do last longer than most other kinds of "machines," but they are subject to wear and tear nonetheless. This simple inspection can help save you money on your monthly electric bills. It may even save your entire home, perhaps even your life.

When you schedule on-line or mention our website when you schedule by phone, we'll give you 5% off this important safety service.

Comparison Shopping

When making one of the most critical investments in your home, electrical installations and repairs, you want to make sure you’re getting the best qualified service for the best price. The wrong credentials and a poor installation or service job may not only impact you once, but possibly each month. It could result in electrical bills totaling hundreds of dollars more than needed, and you’d never know the difference. It could also negatively impact your family's or staff's safety and that of your home or office. Here are some tips to help you find out the difference between companies and the services they offer before you buy.

1. Ask for repair costs before any repairs are made.
2. Know if the company charges by the hour.
3. Know if you will pay more for service calls on evenings or weekends.
4. Find out if the company has an “investment guarantee.” A guarantee like this means that if you find a lower price on the same job or installation, they will match it or refund the difference.
5. Ask if you can take a look at their price books, investment guides, and discount schedules. Ask if you can see how your bid was figured. Pricing should not be a mystery.
6. Find out what kind maintenance services are provided on new installations. You have the right to expect a full year of free maintenance to keep your systems performing at top levels.
7. Find out what types of guarantees are offered on new equipment, service or repairs. The number of years on various parts.
