Emergency services offered

"Well, the first appointment was made for a Friday afternoon and we took off from work to be at the house to wait for them.  By 4pm there was no word so I called only to find they had an emergency and were not coming.  She said she called everyone the night before, but NOT ME.
The woman and I had talked and I was told the charge for going into an attic was an extra $75. I agreed as I had read this in previous reviews also.  IT WAS NOT STATED IN THE AD!!!  The ad said extra charge for materials, ok ,and as I said I agreed to the 75 ON THE PHONE WITH THE WIFE, NOT 125.  
They arrived at the house for the second appt and told my husband it was $125 to go in the attic now!?!  What?
Husband called me and I informed the lady that we had discussed this and I was told by her 75 extra, not 125, well long story short...the coupon from Angies List cost $99 for 2 hours of electrical labor. It said materials extra.  We had to write a check for another $150.  
I value any working person's time and skills, but I feel like we were "taken". Don't tell me one price then as soon as you arrive increase it. We paid it, the people did quality work,  but I would not do business with them again.

Electrical questions, answered by experts

There is no blanket figure for a residential home’s electrical load, since load varies by the size of the home, how many appliances are used, and the efficiency of their electrical systems. Typically, however, it’s safe to assume 40 to 60 amps is the average electrical load of a residential home. 

Soldering is a reliable and durable way to connect wires, but it isn't the only method. Nowadays, professionals often crimp the connection instead—although this requires a higher degree of skill than soldering.

Black is the standard color for hot wires, which transfer electricity to your outlets and switches. Red wires are also hot wires. White (and sometimes gray) wires are considered neutral, delivering power back to the panel. Finally, green wires, which are sometimes bare copper, are ground wires, used to ground an electrical circuit and prevent electrocution.

Yes—if a breaker is old or damaged, it might not be able to detect power surges or electrical overload. If that happens, the breaker won’t trip. Instead, it will begin to overheat, putting your electrical system at risk of fire or total electrical failure. Circuit breakers don’t last forever, so you can proactively replace old or damaged breakers before they stop working.

Most ceiling light fixtures only have a black, white, and green wire, but in some cases, you’ll also find a red wire in the box. This is a second hot wire, like the black wire, and is included for ceiling light kits that have a fan.
