Best Sparkie Experience for A Long Time

Echoing my pleasant experience from my previous post about a local Masterton locksmith, I'm back already with another positive tradie review . . . this time about my new electrician, Trevor Mail of Holdsworth Electrical.


Trevor checked over the electricals of my new house before my recent purchase thereof. He was both accommodating and affordable.


If my second and more recent experience in seeking his services is any indication, that's Trevor's standard modus operandi. Along with his respectful, pleasant manner.


On this particular occasion, some critical power points had gone out - including my stove. Not knowing my way around a switchboard, I gave Trevor a call. It was just hours before a long weekend.


He was here in less than an hour. And I was aware that he'd had to travel to get to me, too.


Many tradies would have charged opportunistically in that situation and for that level of service. I've many tales to tell there, believe me. But not Trevor. 


I'm not sure whether it's just how he rolls, or whether he's a smart operator that understands the LTV (Life-Time Value) of a repeat customer. I strongly suspect the former, by his accommodating, affable manner,  but he fully deserves the latter because of it.


It will be the quintessential "no brainer" to make him my regular sparkie.
