How much would you charge to fix a what someone calls "15 minute bug" in office to new corporate customer on other side of the city? Considering that you would also take care of all paper work involved such as generating invoices and paying taxes.
Completely irrelevant, considering my private residence is not a corporation and doesn't generate anywhere near the same revenue. Nor does the "bug" involve having several months of context on how an IT system operates.
Nor does it entail the same amount of liability in case something goes wrong. The failure mode for running a cable is...there's no cable connecting the 2 points.
People who might not be so brilliant are down voting you when you're completely right. A business generating revenue can pay much more for help than a private customer, because that expense helps them making money.
The fact that a company has more money is what seems irrelevant. Messing with electrical wiring seems like more liability than messing with code in most situations. By all means do it yourself if hiring someone costs too much.
