Accepted Answer

We alter our pricing to suit the type of work we are undertaking, for example, our general domestic Electrical work may be $60 dollars per hour because we know that there are a lot of electricians in our area. Although if a university needs a large package AC repaired we know that the skill base to carry out this type of work isn't that great so we will charge accordingly. Our overheads are very low so if push comes to shove we can drop our rates very easily.
