The original estimate was for over $2800. I thought $2800 was ridiculous for what I wanted and had to include a PITA surcharge. Consequently what I figured most contributed to the PITA surcharge and what I could most live without was the cut in surround sound speaker junction boxes. Jon did the work while I, also, was at work. The price was reduced to $2500. When I returned home my wife said he was here only two hours.
The wire used for the station ground (bear in mind this would have to carry any stray lightning to earth, was about the thickness of a pencil lead. I've used ground wire that was more like 1/4 to 3/8's inch and really be more like 1/2and quot; or better yet, copper braid. The hole, which I doubt he even touched for the access to junction box in the wall from the basement was not wide enough to pass an RG-8 coax, Consequently some else will likely have to redo that work anyway.
In all Jon spent 2 hours here for an hourly rate of $1,250. Corporate executive consultants don't earn that per hour. Perhaps doing the whole house surge protector was incredibly dangerous to install but I am pretty sure that is why there is a main switch on the service panel. The surge protector itself is about 4and quot;x4and quot;x3and quot;. I am baffled by how that constituted $2500. However, in looking more closely at the other reviews I suspect he is the most expensive electrician in the greater New England area.
On the plus side I'll give Jon good grades for professionalism, demeanor, and friendliness. He seemed to know what he was talking about.
Upon arriving, he noticed some severe damage in our main electrical panel due to water penetration. There was a serious safety concern, so we immediately turned off the power to the house. John provided us with an overall summary that we could understand, and made sure that we had a safe place to take our family until the power could be restored.
John and his team came out the very next day, and had power restored to our entire house by the time we returned home at 5:00 PM. He was very professional and kind throughout the whole process.
Our home owner's insurance covered all of the damages, and Labossiere Electric provided all of the required documentation to our insurance company's assigned adjuster. He was thorough, neat, and extremely pleasant to deal with.
Without a doubt, THIS IS THE ELECTRICIAN YOU SHOULD CALL! Labossiere Electric has earned my business for life. :)
The generator was exercised by LaBossiere Electric demonstrating its operation and performance to my husband and myself. This was a considerable investment for us, but we feel we hired an excellent contractor for the job upon reviews of LaBossiere Electric and internet search including the company's website.
Excellent experience and we highly recommend LaBossiere Electric.
