Do you give quotes over the phone?
No. SCI does not quote prices over the phone, because every job is different and a number given sight-unseen is usually wrong. We look at the work first and then give you a real quote. Our hourly labor rates are published openly on the rates page, so you always know what the clock costs before anyone starts.
Do you repair generators, pumps and motors?
Yes. Generator, pump and motor repair is core SCI work. We service and repair standby and portable generators, water and irrigation pumps, and electric motors for homes, farms, shops and oilfield sites — including diagnosis, rebuild, controls and wiring.
Do you install security camera systems?
Yes. SCI installs security camera systems for shops, yards, leases and homes — cameras, cabling, power supplies and recorders, wired and powered by licensed electricians so the system is done right the first time.

Residential work bills at $70/hr for the electrician and $40/hr for the helper. Commercial work bills at $75/hr and $45/hr. Welding is $125/hr. There is a 3-hour minimum on every job.
