Electri-Serve Corporation
About us
At Electri-Serve, we're choosy about who represents us. That is why we carefully hire only Colorado licensed electricians who possess the skills and experience necessary to perform troubleshooting, repairs, and installations in an efficient and cost-effective manner. Though we provide free quotes on new installations, we do not offer "flat-rate" or "upfront" pricing on troubleshooting and repair work because we know those methods of pricing electrical work are more advantageous to the contractor than the customer. We've been in business over 45 years, plan to be in business for a long time to come, and believe we can best achieve that by treating all customers fairly.

While they were waiting for the third guy, Brandon started the second part of the job, which was to replace the ceiling fan. Since he had a cast on his foot and it meant going in the crawl space, he called another guy to come over (an apprentice, I guess). So now 4 guys are doing the job that one guy should do. I had already bought the replacement ceiling fan and all they had to do was install it. They did that in about 1 hour.
In the meantime, the fourth guy shows up with the right tool to find the cut wire, the 3-4 of them find the wire and then they don't have the right part to fix the cut wire. They said they'll have to come back next week with the right part -- and apparently another trip charge. I had to miss another day of work and meet them at my house to fix the part. I don't understand why they don't bring what they need to the job?
Brandon also replaced a $20 switch on my electrical panel. So all in all, I thought this bill should be around $500 at most. Instead, I received a bill for $1066, with 6.5 journeyman hours, 3 apprentice hours, 2 trip charges, and $176.65 in material. (I had bought the ceiling fan and so all they had to fix was a cut in the wire so I am not sure how it was $176 in material).
When I got the invoice, I of course then called them and said, I think there has been a mix up. I talked to Jeff Metzler and he said he would need to talk to Brandon but Brandon was on vacation. I never heard back so I called back. I never heard back again. And so I have now called 4 times. They are now sending me a past due notice so I am in a predicament of probably having to pay this outrageous bill or ruin my credit. I don't mind paying $500 or even $600 but it seems outrageous to charge $1066 for installing a ceiling fan and fixing a cut wire in the yard -- and to not even call me back. I strongly recommend you not use them. I am really disappointed because I know they get all As on Angie's list and that is why I used them.
"I'm sorry this member has chosen not to work with us any longer. Our records indicate that the job was called in December 4 of 2014, but had to be rescheduled due to weather. When we give customers options for dates, we wait to hear back from them, to tell us which of the options will work best for them. It's no surprise that we would not have heard back from a customer to schedule a service call for landscape lighting that was requested in winter. We failed to follow up in the spring. We appreciate the member bringing this failing in our tracking system to our attention, and will do our best to make corrections. Stacey Metzler"
