In agreement with the other reviews of this company being shady and ripping people off... I apparently drilled a screw through a wire in my rental unit, which is completely my fault. I called this company because I assumed I needed to fix it and that it was a fire hazard. I got a text saying a woman, "Susan" was en route. The text even had a picture. I open the door and a man, Luke, was there saying he was the electrician. If my boyfriend wouldn't have been home, I would have been very uncomfortable.
Fast forward to the diagnosis. The electrician, Luke, had no saw and asked to borrow ours to cut a hole in the drywall to diagnose.
After that, he proceeded to tell us the wiring was incorrectly installed and that a breaker repair would be needed along with new wiring. We were quoted almost $900 and were given a story about how much materials have gone up and how they barely make any of that, etc. I don't know anything about this issue, so I just believe and paid $455 in deposit for work to be done that Friday.
I call my landlord to inform him of the incorrect wiring, and he was NOT happy. Apparently electricians are required to inform the landlord before they come into a rental unit (that was not done). He also informed me I was 100% being ripped off and taken advantage of, so I called to get my deposit back (not including the $125 dispatch/diagnosis fee because that was done).
Almost a month later, I'm getting a run around of them going back and forth with how much they're sending me because the electrician claims there was work done while he was there (there was no work done). I also have been told I will be called back 3 times now (I haven't been). Now whenever I call the office, the finance lady is conveniently never in.
Do not use this company.
Update: 15 minutes after posting this, the office lady called and said they would be sending me a check for $250 because the electrician claims he did work and there’s nothing they can do about it. I explain to her that’s not what happened and that he cut a hole in the wall to diagnose and cut the wire because he said it was a fire hazard. She said “well we don’t know what went on in the house”, to which I replied “IIIII do because it’s the place IM renting and I was there! Matter of fact, the reason why this is even a problem is BECAUSE it’s a rental and my landlord is pissed because yall did not inform him that yall were stepping foot in the unit to do anything.” She then proceeded to continue talking telling me that that’s all she can do but they can call me back. To which I responded I don’t want to be told. I’m going to get a callback because I never get a call back. Every time I try to explain why this was not right she continued talking while I was talking to which I said “you keep talking over me.” He response was “YOU keep talking over ME!”
This entire company is obviously shady, disrespectful, unprofessional, and absolutely out of line.
Originally my landlord wanted to escalate the problem because they came into the rental unit without his knowledge; however, I stopped him from doing that and told him it was my fault for calling, and that I would handle it as long as I got my deposit back. Now that it’s a problem, apparently escalation is what’s going to have to happen because this is wrong.
