We feel ripped off

We hired Expert Electric to install an 240 V outlet in our garage. They came to look at the site and quoted us a price of $2000. We were surprised, because there was already a 240 line available in the circuit box. The electrician literally just had to drop a line about a meter and install the outlet. The electrician assured my husband it was more complicated than that and was a job that would require 6 hours. We pointed out that there was no plumbing or HVAC in the wall. Still we were told it would take 6 hours.
At this point we should have called another company for a quote, but Sam was very insistant/reassuring.
Suffice it to say, it actually took less than 3 hours the following day to complete the job. There was no adjustment to the bill. Sam claimed he had just been "super efficient."
When we contacted the company via email, we got a form letter back. Clearly, this is not the first time they have had this situation.
We followed up by phone and the owner was extremely rude and belligerent.
I would strongly recommend against hiring this company. We never will again.

Replace plugs, switches. Add addition bathroom light, upgrade bulbs to LED, added surge protection to house, and other minor items.

Mike and his assistant were very thorough; worked quietly with respect for house occupants. Explained throughout project(s) what he was doing, was very polite throughout, answered questions. At the conclusion he reviewed all that was done and did not leave any mess.

Rewired modular home

The two electricians who did this work were very helpful and explained everything that needed to be done. They worked practically non stop and worked well past quitting time. They wore the covers over their shoes to keep the floors clean and cleaned up everything and took away garbage at the end of the day. They came back when the Inspector came to do the final inspection and showed us how the new main breaker worked and labelled all switches. We are very satisfied with Expert Electric. Thanks Froilan and Gilbert!!!!

Replace range hood and venting

We found the service technicians very friendly and courteous. The workmanship was excellent. The technicians were mindful of their work area and in fact used protective covering before they began work. We will definitely be using Expert Electrical for future repairs.

electrical problems related to furnace

We had to solve the problem of the continuously tripping breaker so the serviceman could complete the annual furnace tune-up and service.

Froilan and Gilbert were competent, thorough and willing to explain the mechanics of the electrical problems, the range of solutions and the probable cost.

Although the the problem was the breaker, Froilan observed I had both an outdated hardwired smoke alarm and a new battery operated smoke alarm. He suggested renewing the hardwired alarm instead of using the battery operated one. The previous electrician recommended purchasing a battery operated smoke alarm if I did not want the expense of hard wiring. In hindsight, neither the first electrician nor I noticed the alarm on the ceiling.

They took the time to explain the problem and the possible solutions. Often repairmen are unwilling or unable to communicate.

I would use Expert Electric again, ask specifically for Froilan and would recommend this company to friends.

Bathrooms, lights, fans, heating; guest room heating

We had excellent service from Mike. He gave us excellent advice, then an estimate of the costs, adapted the plan as we wished and then arrived on time on the appointed days. The work was carried out as we wished, to an excellent standard and within the given time-frame. After the work was completed, we received a telephone call from the office to ask if we were happy with the work – we were.

We would have no hesitation to recommend Mike and Expert Electric to others.
