⚡ Why Electrical Work Costs What It Costs — And Why It’s Worth Every Penny

A Kind, Honest Look at Pricing, Expertise, and the Heart Behind What We Do

When people see a quote for electrical work, it’s natural for the first thought to be, “Why does it cost so much?” We get it. Electricity is something most of us use every minute of every day, yet rarely think about until a breaker trips, a light flickers, or a project finally gets the green light.

But here’s the truth: electrical work isn’t just about wires, tools, or time on-site.It’s about expertise, safety, years of training, and a genuine desire to take care of the people we serve.

And at North by Northwest Services, that part — taking care of people — is at the center of everything we do.

⚡ Electricians Are a Little Like Doctors (Stay With Us…)

When something goes wrong in your home’s electrical system, you don’t want someone guessing.You want someone who:

• Has spent years in formal training

• Completed thousands of hours in the field

• Passed rigorous licensing exams

• Continues education every year

• Understands codes, safety standards, and ever-changing technology

• Can diagnose complex issues at a glance

  
  

Electricians don’t just plug things in.They protect your home, your family, and your safety.

Your wiring is the circulatory system of your home — and the people working on it need the expertise to keep it healthy. In that way, electricians really are the “doctors of your home.”

Our owner is a Master Electrician, which is the highest level you can reach in the trade. It represents decades of learning, experience, and commitment. When you hire us, you’re not just paying for the hours on the job — you’re paying for everything it took to earn the skill that makes the job look easy.

⚡ “But You Were Only Here for an Hour…”

Yes — and that’s the point.A highly trained professional solves problems quickly because of what they know, not because they rushed.

You’re not paying for how long it takes.You’re paying for how well it’s done, how safely it’s done, and how confidently your home can operate afterward.

If a job takes one hour, that’s the result of:

• Years of mastery

• Careful craftsmanship

• Correct tools and training

• Knowledge that prevents costly mistakes

• A company that stands behind every job

That’s value you feel long after we leave.

❤️ The Spirit Behind the Work

We don’t see customers as transactions — we see them as neighbors.We live here, shop here, raise our families here. When we walk into a home or a business, we walk in with the attitude:

“How would I want someone to treat my family if they were the ones calling for help?”

That’s why we:

• Give honest recommendations

• Fix things the right way, not the fastest way

• Stand behind our work

• Prioritize safety

• Offer free quotes and upfront pricing

• Treat every customer with respect

• Ensure inspections get passed

• And always come back if something needs adjusting

Electrical work is a skill — but serving people is a calling. We genuinely care about the homes and families we help every day.

🎁 In the Spirit of Giving

As the seasons change and the spirit of giving fills the air, we’re reminded why we do what we do.
