Terms of Service
1. Acceptance of Terms
By requesting, scheduling, or accepting electrical services from Precision Power Services ("Precision Power," "we," "us," or "our"), you ("the Customer") agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not request or accept services from us.
By authorizing a standard service call, I acknowledge the $200 minimum charge, which includes up to one hour of on-site service beginning upon the technician's arrival. I understand that additional labor is billed at $225 per hour, with materials and other applicable charges billed separately.
I understand that emergency and after-hours services may have different rates, which will be disclosed before dispatch.
2. Services
Precision Power provides licensed electrical contracting services including but not limited to panel upgrades, residential and commercial wiring, EV charger installation, generator installation, heat pump electrical work, safety inspections, smart home wiring, and emergency electrical repair. All work is performed by or under the supervision of a Vermont-licensed electrician.
3. Estimates and Pricing
3.1 Free Estimates
Precision Power Services offers free estimates for qualifying planned electrical projects, including panel upgrades, new installations, renovations, generator installations, and other larger electrical projects.
Free estimates do not include troubleshooting, diagnostic testing, repairs, or other billable service work. Customers will be informed of applicable charges before diagnostic work begins.
3.2 Standard Service Call — $200 Minimum
All standard electrical service calls, including troubleshooting, diagnostics, repairs, and maintenance, are subject to a minimum service charge of $200.
The $200 minimum includes up to one (1) hour of on-site service, beginning when the technician arrives at the Customer's property.
The full $200 minimum applies regardless of whether the work takes less than one hour or whether the reported problem is resolved during the visit.
3.3 Additional Labor — $225 Per Hour
Service time exceeding the first included hour is billed at $225 per hour.
Partial additional hours will be billed according to the billing increments disclosed to the Customer before service.
3.4 Materials and Additional Charges
Materials, replacement parts, permits, specialized equipment, and other applicable charges are billed separately unless expressly included in a written agreement.
3.5 Emergency and After-Hours Services
Emergency, after-hours, weekend, and holiday services may be subject to higher rates than standard service calls.
Applicable rates and fees will be disclosed before dispatch or service authorization.
3.6 Project Estimates
Estimates are good-faith approximations based on available information. Unforeseen conditions, code requirements, or changes in scope may affect final pricing. Material changes requiring additional charges will be presented for Customer approval before proceeding, except where otherwise legally authorized.
4. Invoicing and Payment Terms
Invoices are due upon receipt unless otherwise stated on the invoice, agreed to in writing, or required by applicable law.
Larger projects may require a deposit before scheduling or beginning work. Deposit amounts, payment schedules, and applicable cancellation conditions will be disclosed in the written project agreement.
Project deposits are subject to the cancellation and refund provisions described in Section 10.
Cash and check payments do not incur payment processing surcharges. Card payment surcharges, if applicable, will be disclosed before payment and assessed only as permitted by applicable law and payment-network rules.
5. Late Payments and Interest
5.1 Payment Terms
All invoices are due upon receipt unless otherwise specified in writing. Invoices remaining unpaid more than thirty (30) days after the invoice date are considered past due.
5.2 Late Payment Interest
Past-due balances are subject to interest at a rate of 18% per annum (1.5% per month), calculated on the outstanding unpaid principal balance.
Interest begins accruing after the thirty (30)-day payment period, unless otherwise required by applicable law.
5.3 Monthly Service Charge
A $5 monthly service charge may be assessed on accounts remaining past due, provided the charge is disclosed in advance, agreed to by the Customer, and permitted under applicable Vermont law.
The monthly service charge will not be compounded or included in the balance used to calculate interest.
5.4 Collection and Enforcement
Precision Power Services reserves the right to pursue lawful collection remedies for unpaid balances, including reasonable collection costs, court costs, and attorney's fees where permitted by applicable law or an enforceable agreement.
5.5 Compliance with Applicable Law
All interest and service charges are subject to applicable Vermont and federal laws. Any charge that exceeds applicable legal limits or is otherwise unenforceable will be reduced or omitted as required by law.
6. Collection Costs and Attorney's Fees
If your account is referred to collection or legal action is required to recover unpaid balances, you are responsible for all reasonable costs of collection, including attorney's fees, court costs, and filing fees, to the fullest extent permitted by Vermont law.
7. Mechanic's Lien Rights
Under Vermont law (9 V.S.A. §§ 1921–1925), contractors who furnish labor or materials for the improvement of real property have the right to file a mechanic's lien against the property to secure payment for unpaid invoices. By accepting services from Precision Power, you acknowledge and agree that:
- Precision Power reserves the right to pursue mechanic's lien rights against any property where work was performed or materials were supplied if payment is not received.
- A notice of lien may be filed with the town clerk in the town where the property is located within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date payment became due, as required by 9 V.S.A. § 1921(c).
- If a lien is filed, Precision Power may commence a civil action to enforce the lien within the time period required by 9 V.S.A. § 1924.
- You are responsible for all costs associated with filing and enforcing a lien, including recording fees, attorney's fees, and court costs, to the extent permitted by law.
- This clause does not waive any defenses you may have under Vermont law, nor does it limit Precision Power's other remedies for collecting unpaid balances.
Important: Vermont law sets strict deadlines for filing mechanic's liens. The 180-day filing period begins when payment becomes due — not when work is completed. Precision Power will make reasonable efforts to notify you before filing a lien, but failure to receive notice does not extend the statutory deadline. If you have questions about a past-due balance, contact us promptly at (802) 417-0587 or info@precisionpowervt.com.
8. Warranties and Liability
Precision Power Services warrants that electrical work will be performed in a workmanlike manner consistent with applicable electrical codes and professional standards.
Claims under the one-year workmanship warranty must be reported within one (1) year after completion of the applicable work.
This warranty does not cover damage or failures caused by misuse, unauthorized modifications, work performed by others, normal wear and tear, or external events outside the company's control.
Equipment and materials may be subject to separate manufacturer warranties.
Precision Power Services will evaluate reported workmanship defects and provide an appropriate remedy for valid warranty claims.
Nothing in this section limits rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded.
9. Change Orders
Changes to the agreed scope of work may result in additional labor, materials, and scheduling adjustments.
Material changes to the project scope or price must be documented and approved in writing before the additional work begins.
Additional work requested during an existing service call may be billed separately when the Customer authorizes the work and is informed of the applicable charges.
All changes remain subject to applicable Vermont law and any project-specific written agreement.
10. Cancellation and Rescheduling
10.1 Appointment Cancellations
Customers are requested to provide at least twenty-four (24) hours' notice when canceling or rescheduling scheduled work.
Customers may contact Precision Power Services at (802) 417-0587 to request cancellation or rescheduling.
10.2 Project Deposits
Precision Power Services may require deposits to reserve project scheduling, labor availability, and materials.
The deposit amount and applicable cancellation conditions will be disclosed in the written project agreement before the deposit is collected.
10.3 Cancellations Less Than 24 Hours Before Project Start
If a Customer cancels a scheduled project less than twenty-four (24) hours before the agreed project start time, the entire project deposit is nonrefundable, to the extent permitted by applicable Vermont law and the enforceable project agreement.
This deposit retention provision is intended to provide reasonable compensation for anticipated losses associated with late cancellation, including reserved labor, lost scheduling opportunities, and project preparation expenses, and is not intended as a penalty.
The Customer must be informed of and agree to this condition before paying the deposit.
Where applicable law requires a full or partial refund, that requirement will control.
10.4 Cancellations With At Least 24 Hours' Notice
For cancellations made at least twenty-four (24) hours before the scheduled project start, the deposit will be handled according to the written project agreement and applicable law.
10.5 Cancellation After Work Begins
If the Customer cancels a project after work has begun, the Customer remains responsible for authorized labor performed, materials supplied, nonreturnable special-order materials, and other amounts legally recoverable under the applicable agreement.
Deposits will be applied or refunded as required by the agreement and applicable law, without duplicate recovery for the same loss.
10.6 Standard Service Calls
Standard service calls are subject to the $200 minimum charge once a technician arrives at the Customer's property.
10.7 Company-Initiated Cancellations
If Precision Power Services cancels a project, deposits will be refunded as required by the written agreement and applicable law.
10.8 Statutory Cancellation Rights
Nothing in this section limits any cancellation, refund, or consumer protection rights provided by Vermont or federal law.
Mandatory statutory cancellation rights take precedence over the 24-hour deposit policy.
11. Property Access and Condition
The Customer agrees to provide reasonable, safe, and unobstructed access to areas where electrical work will be performed.
The Customer is responsible for identifying known hazards and disclosing relevant pre-existing electrical or structural conditions.
Concealed damage, unsafe wiring, or unforeseen site conditions may require additional work and charges, subject to Customer authorization where required.
Precision Power Services is not responsible for pre-existing defects or damage not caused by its work. Nothing in this section excludes liability for damage caused by Precision Power Services' negligence or other conduct for which liability cannot lawfully be excluded.
12. Insurance
Precision Power maintains general liability insurance. Certificates of insurance are available upon request.
13. Governing Law
These Terms of Service are governed by the laws of the State of Vermont. Any disputes arising from these terms or from services provided by Precision Power shall be resolved in the appropriate Vermont courts.
14. Changes to These Terms
Precision Power Services may revise these Terms of Service periodically.
Updated terms will be posted on the company website with a revised effective date.
Changes will apply prospectively and will not automatically modify existing signed contracts or previously authorized work unless agreed to by the parties or otherwise permitted by law.
