What are some of the typical home electrical problems that I may face?
Common problems you might face involve light bulbs, light switches, and light fixtures. Light bulbs usually flicker, blink or burn out at a high rate while usually a replacement does the trick, there could also be underlying severe problems like the light fixture, poor connection in the electrical circuit, or even trouble with the primary electrical wire connection. Other problems could involve frequent electrical surges and circuit breaker tripping. Such problems warrant contacting an electrical service professional immediately.
How much does an electrical service typically cost?
When an electrical malfunction occurs, only a qualified and experienced electrician can deal with the issue. An electrical service provider generally charges on an hourly basis or project basis. Electrical service costs vary depending on several factors such as the location, complexity of the electrical work, experience, and materials used. On an average a homeowner spends around $315 a year on different electrical maintenance work around the house. However, the approximate cost of electrical work usually ranges between $160 and $502. Consultations or service calls or any electrical project that requires troubleshooting are typically priced at $50 to $100 on a per-hour basis. An electrical service provider will also often charge a travel fee ranging from $25 to $75 on average.
Why do I need electrical service and not simply do my electrical maintenance?
You must always go for a professional electrician as they will always be up to date with the current electrical code in most set ups, this is crucial because if you decide to go to the lengths and expenses of electrical work you must ensure you abide by the current requirements, moreover, when you opt for a professional, you can be assured they will purchase the correct material in the optimum quantity as to create minimum waste and hence save your costs in the long run. Above all, you will always have the risk of electrocution and burns that might occur while doing electrical installations and repairs yourself. This is not considering that if you end up doing poorly done electrical work, it might lead to fires and causing total structure losses.
What are some commonly faced electrical safety problems?
Some common safety problems may include frequent tripping of fuses and circuit breakers; when big appliances like air conditioner and refrigerators are turned on, lights in some rooms start flickering or dimming; flipping certain switches start a sparking sound; burning smell emanating from wires, overloading of a power strip, trying to fit a three-prong plug into a two-prong socket; improper and regular running of extension and flexible cords, etc. Hazards may include electric shock, electrocution, burns from contact with live parts, injuries from exposure to arcing, fires from faulty electrical equipment or installations, or even explosion.
Do I need whole home surge protection in my home?
Homes today are getting more and more advanced with the addition of newer and more sophisticated electronic technologies than it has ever been. We are getting more and more dependent on them and continually looking for means to make life simpler with more such additions. Whole home surge protection helps provide substantial protection to all the electrical equipment in your home from surges and spikes that might come from outside or even inside your home. They safeguard all the devices in your home, refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryer dishwashers, coffee makers, and anything else that would otherwise not come with traditional protection. Whole home surge protectors are therefore recommended to be installed in all homes to protect all the electronics.

How to pick the right handyman service that's well known, established, and trustworthy?
Based on the nature of your chore, make a list of 7-8 handyman contractors near you, make a comparison of what each of them has to offer and for how long they have been around, the best way to do so is by looking at other customer's feedback and reviews. Before narrowing down your choices, if they are part of a company, make sure the company has a thorough screening process for all its technicians before they are made a part of the organization, ask for previous work pictures and estimated quotes and compare prices before you zero in on a particular handyman service provider, which will help avoid unreasonable unforeseen extra charges or surprises. Talk To Bruno allows you to do all this in one place within minutes.
Why do I need handyman services?
It is a general notion that handymen's most odd jobs can be easily tackled by oneself at home/work. However, this is not always the case because although you might be able to perform most handymen duties yourself, you might not be able to do it with absolute perfection as you do not have professional skill/experience. By getting a handyman to assist you, you not only get a long-lasting finish, but you also preclude various risks that some jobs entail. To do specific jobs, you also need to be aware of different safety standards and protocols that need to be strictly followed.
What kind of services can I expect from Handyman contractors?
Anything from repair and maintenance work around the house to plumbing, electrical, fix-ups, and just about any "odd job" on both the interior and exterior of a premise. The projects that fall under a handyman's list of duties are extensive. Some of them are air conditioner installation, heating system tune-up, soundproofing, swimming pool maintenance, pest control, fireplace cleaning, skylight installation, insulation installation, hot tubs and spas, sprinkler repair, home security systems, gutter cleaning and repair, landscaping, lamp repair, decks, door installation and repair, dryer vent installation and cleaning, fence fixing, garage doors, and door openers, barbecue pit maintenance, etc.
Can I get an estimate prior to booking a handyman service?

What is the general procedure that must be followed to book a handyman?
Once you have made your choice on a particular service partner, you need to go through the booking process. You can make an online booking where you will be needed to provide your zip code, the day and time when you need the service, and your phone number. You will be then asked for your name, your full address and email, etc., when asked questions about the specific service that you are looking for, make sure you give a detailed description. When you have confirmed the date and time of visit, you will be asked to add a payment method which can be a debit or credit card, our platform is 100% cashless and your card will NOT be charged until the job is finished, your booking will then be confirmed and the service request sent to the chosen provider.

Handyman services are indispensable in your everyday life. The average cost of hiring a handyman ranges from around $50 to $80 for each hour of work.

Why should I choose Talk To Bruno for Furniture Assembly Service over other service providers?

Our furniture assembly packages work on an hourly rate as well as a project basis. Talk To Bruno specializes in taking away the hassle and strain of assembling furniture by providing competent teams of specialists who execute furniture assembly projects speedily and safely at any time or location.

If you keep trying to assemble furniture but fail, you must stop and call an expert from Talk To Bruno or else you may end up damaging your furniture irreparably.
How much does a furniture assembly service ideally cost?
When you choose a furniture assembly service provider, you must have an idea about the cost of such services. The cost of the furniture assembly service depends on various factors such as location, item size, item delivery and complexity of the project and therefore, varies accordingly. On an average, $100 is the cost for assembling a furniture item similar to a bed frame. Most furniture assembly service providers ask for a minimum price ranging between $30 and $75. Some of the service providers charge on an hourly basis with an average rate of about $35 while some charge flat rates for each single furniture piece.
Why should I opt for professional furniture assembly services instead of DIY?
When you try to assemble your furniture yourself (even assuming that the furniture comes with a well-defined manual), you are always subjecting yourself to a certain degree of risk. Assuming that you are not a trained workman, the use of screwdrivers, nails, and other assembly tools could be a source of potential danger. You can also waste a lot of precious time assembling furniture and, if done wrong, waste more time reassembling it. At Talk To Bruno, we make sure our work teams use high-quality equipment that is safe, sanitized, and competent apart from using safety gear that enhances their protection.

What exactly is a smart home?
Smart home makes use of technologies to make life easier for you. You can use your Smartphone, for instance, to control your home lighting, air conditioning, fridge, microwave, heating system and even windows and doors. To go a step further, automation makes it easy to control all your domestic devices and, importantly, use AI to save energy. For instance, so long as you are in a room the lights and AC will stay switched on but when you leave and do not return after a preset time then the lights and AC will switch off. Similarly, you could have smart security devices that will recognize people registered with the system and raise an alarm should a stranger enter the premises. Your AC, heating system and humidifier system could be programmed to provide a perfectly comfortable internal ambience. Lights could be brightened or dimmed according to the activity you are engaged in. You can program in advance when the microwave should switch on and switch off. You can use your Smartphone to remotely monitor your house and control devices such as switching on the AC ten minutes or so before you will return home.
What exactly do you offer by smart home services?
We do not directly provide any Smart Home services. We are a service platform and bring together users and service providers. We are involved to the extent of providing an information platform so that you know how to choose a service provider and we are engaged to provide assurance of integrity of services and to see you get a fair deal, you can browse categories or search for specific smart home service providers. You can get in touch with them, talk with them, ask for a quote and initiate the process of supply and installation. We vet each service provider and provide their details on our site so you know clearly what to expect.
Can you explain about different types of smart home automation?
Smart home automation is an umbrella term. For example, you can decide to go with lighting automation. This is one part of it. In such instance your service provider could possibly change the switches and provide a device with sensors and programming facility so that lighting can be switched off or output level adjusted automatically. You can “smarten” up your air conditioner for automatic adjustment of temperature to provide right comfort level or let you use your Smartphone to control it. You can have voice controlled smart home systems. Then there are smart systems with a centralized control unit and Smartphone app connectivity to control and program virtually all devices and appliances in your home including doors, windows, curtains and even the garden sprinklers.
How much does a Smart home service typically cost?
Smart Homes are an ‘in’ thing now. Most people in the U.S are looking to convert their ordinary home into a smart home and that involves an installation of a wide variety of smart home systems that run on automation and advanced digital engineering. The average cost of smart home services is around $5, 000 to $9, 000 for a house of 5 rooms including the plugs, lights, cameras, locks and thermostat. In most cases, people will pay around $1, 000 for each room when they are converting the room to a ‘smart’ room. When professional smart home service providers are installing the system for you the per-hour service charge they’ll ask for is between $80 and $100.
What technologies are used in smart home automation?
Smart homes make use of different technologies. At a basic level you could have Wi-Fi or Bluetooth control or infrared control of devices. Such systems could then be enhanced with microprocessor controls leading to a degree of programmability and automation. Then you could have smart homes with sensors linked to appliances for even better automation and control. Complex systems may use IoT technology, artificial intelligence, voice controls, microprocessors and Smartphone apps to give you complete automation and lots of features such as voice control remote switching of devices and even adjustments of each. You could use your app to set lighting level and even color. You can use the app to set time duration and temperature of the oven. You could control the air conditioner in a similar way. Smart homes may have a centralized unit with Wi-Fi for internals and internet for external monitoring and control. The possibilities are immense. We would suggest that you first study different types of systems and extent of sophistication before you put down money for one.

How long does it take to mount my TV?
Most TV mounting systems can be installed within an hour or two, though it may take longer to attach hardware to certain wall surfaces.
Why hang my TV on the wall?
For starters, placing a TV on a piece of furniture like a table or a home entertainment stand is problematic because any object that contains the TV screen takes up additional room. Aside from that, make sure your TV stand is solid enough because weak supports might cause your TV to collapse and crack, resulting in the loss of your source of entertainment. Instead, talk To Bruno and compare pros & prices to mount your TVs and save space and potential problems.
How much does it cost to mount my TV?
Costs typically range from $100 to $500, although they can be as low as $70 or as high as $1,250. Prices include labor but may or may not include the mount and vary based on the size of the TV, mount type, and task complexity. With Talk To Bruno we take all the guessing work out of the way; You can compare local pros and prices and choose your TV installer. No hidden fees or surprises.
