We would like to share our very negative experience with A/C
Electrical services in Naples Florida.
After an initial positive and pleasant experience with A/C
Electrical we signed a contract with this company in September 2015 to bury the
power line on our property in Naples Park.
We sent them the required 50% deposit of $ 3,400 and we agreed for the
work to be done by A/C Electrical (in conjunction with FPL but we would not
deal directly with FPL) on November 12 and November 13th when my husband Carlton would be at the
property and before our renters would move in on December 1st 2015.
We emphasized several times (via email and verbally) how
important it was to us to have the work completed before December 1st
2015, since we did not want any work done and have interruption of power while
the renters would be in the unit.
After the start of the job on November 12 it quickly became
clear to us that communication and more important clear and honest
communication was definitely not something A/C Electrical practices. The job
was not completed by the end of the day November 13 and we were told on
November 16 that there was a hold up on the FPL side (waiting on the new permit) and it was really ?out of their hands?
now?.. at that time we were running into the Thanksgiving holidays and more important for us we were getting closer to the very important December 1st date when our tenants were moving in.
We emailed our concerns and we had a conversation with the
manager Ralph where we again stressed how important this timing problem was for
us and that we choose A/C Electrical based on a confirmed timing and completion
of the job by November 13. After several phone calls and emails we
were told that unfortunately they were not able to complete the job as
promised and completion would now take place on December 17th, more than two weeks after our tenants move
in. The tenants would be without power for one day after our promise to them
that there would be no work on the property once they moved in. And that is when the blame game started,
according to A/C Electrical it was all FPL?s responsibility/fault, nothing A/C Electrical could do about it.
Perhaps you should inform your clients beforehand
that there might be a possibility of a delay rather than blaming it all on FPL,
after all we signed a contract with you and paid you , NOT FPL!
We eventually agreed to have the work completed on December
17th, not because we were happy with that date but really because we
had no choice. And then to make matters worse, FPL showed up unannounced on
November 30th, nobody from A/C Electrical was there and the power was shut down and
we were left with no power and only two more days left to solve this mess before our renters
would arrive. Needless to say we were extremely upset and unhappy with this situation, the manager Ralph once again
blamed it all on FPL. FPL came out without notifying A/C Electrical, it was not their fault and they were not
responsible. We finally contacted FPL directly and we were able to speak to the supervisor Theodore who told us somebody from A/C Electrical moved the date to November 30, lots of confusion, hard to figure out
who is telling the truth but this back and forward is definitely something your
clients shouldn?t have to deal with.
The power was eventually restored at the end of that day
(temporarily) and after various phone calls and emails from the manager Ralph
and the owner Anthony , the bottom line of the message again was it was FPL?s mess
up, not theirs and there was really nothing they could do about it. In the end
the work was completed on December 17, almost a month later as initially agreed
upon .
We had to reimburse our renters for the day the work was
completed which could have been avoided if A/C Electrical (not FPL) would have stuck to the agreed
timing. Besides the financial consequence, we were very unhappy with the lack of A/C Electrical?s understanding
for their client?s needs and the attitude and excuses we got from them rather
than ?how can we fix this as soon as possible??
It is unfortunate that we had such a bad experience with A/C Electrical and very unfortunate for A/C Electrical that with much more electrical work to be done at our property we will definitely avoid dealing with A/C Electrical in the future!
"Mr. [Member Name Removed], I apologize that your experience with A/C Electrical was less than stellar. We strive very hard to have impeccable customer service and have trained our staff relentlessly to provide the best quality service there is. Unfortunately, one of the set backs with being an electrical contractor is that we have much more strict regulations on permitting than any other industry and we have to work with government based monopolies such as Florida Power and Light. It is unfortunate that we were unable to complete the work in the specified time but we really don't have any control over FPL or the County Permitting department. We were not nor have we ever attempted to play the "blame game" we are honestly tied with our hands behind our back when it comes to these issues. Just a little background information. At the county they only have 1 person that approves permits. ONLY 1! I know it sounds ridiculous but that is just how it goes, should the permit be denied in the process we have to re-submit and then wait for that 1 person to approve the permit. FPL only has a handful of people that deal with shut offs. After doing a significant amount of research. I have found that when the address was sent for approval we had a scheduled shut off date. Another individual called FPL-NOT anyone from our company or affiliated with the company and scheduled a second shut off. This is why the random loss of power occurred. FPL stated the individuals name. After continuing my search I found that the individual requesting the shut off was the previous homeowners. I was just as shocked. How could the previous homeowners request a shut off? That sounded impossible. I then spoke with several different managers in different departments and found that FPL had issued the date "by accident" So what is the resolve of this situation. Unfortunately your experience with us was not a good one. I apologize that you had to go through this painful process. I will apologize that the organization of the project may not have been to our standards, but we simply cannot control the permitting process or the poor experiences you had with FPL. After this review, we have made a collective decision to place an FPL and Permitting clause in all of our estimates forewarning our clients that we cannot "promise" anything based on FPL or Permitting and that the date requested for service is subject to change. Thank you again for voicing your concerns and I hope in the future we might be given another opportunity to prove ourselves."
