When I was young, Detroit Edison used to exchange worn out light bulbs for new ones for FREE. They also used to fix small electric appliances for the cost of parts. I imagine the theory was that they wanted to make it easy to use electricity. I'm old now and continually appalled about how corporate greed is just accepted.
I remember being confused when I had to pay for light bulbs. (PG&E)
