Add electrical for two light fixtures.

The electricin was wonderful, took pride in his job. My only negative comment is that I found $582 just for labour and $100 installation fee per light was ridiculous. If the job took 3-4 hours I feel it could be justified but it took just over an hour. I had to exchange a fixture and was back just as he was leaving and he said he didn’t have time to put it up. When you are charging a flat fee to do a job, he should have stayed to put it up for me instead me spending the next 1 1/2 hours doing it myself without the right tools.

Approximate cost of services:
$950.00

Company Response

Christine,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. You are right about Kyle being a good electrician and taking pride in doing his work. We have a straightforward price guide which we've used to price all of our jobs, and your project is no exception.

With that said, and although Kyle had a full schedule of work that day, I agree that he should have stayed back to install the light that you purchased and not have left. I would be more than happy to have Kyle come back to your home, free of charge to inspect the installation of the light that you installed your self, to assure that it was correctly installed and is safe.

Our pricing guide was created using the average time and material an electrician needs to complete an installation. If the job takes a lot longer to do, or if there are unforeseen obstacles, we absorb the cost and do not change the quoted price. Sometimes, an electrician seems to take little effort to do an install, and his or her work looks easily done, but I can assure you that there is a lot of experience and knowledge backing every installation. We have to ensure that it complies with the code and that it is safe otherwise, AC Electrical Contractors Ltd., would not stand behind every job with a three-year warranty.

If you would like to discuss this situation further, or if you would like to schedule Kyle to come back to your house, please feel free to call me at (416) 698-8100 and, I will be happy to speak with you.

Regards,
