"Ms. [member name removed]. We highly appreciate your feedback for our services and we are glad you chose our company for your electrical needs. Also, we would like to address your dissatisfaction regarding the service and the price. Initially, you have purchased Angies' List Deal for the "Whole-House Electrical Inspection", which thoroughly explains what type of services will be provided. As you can see, the scope of work described does not include the cost of materials and an installation of the switch, which we found to be defective. Therefore, an additional charge was applied once the issue was accessed and resolved. We hope this helps. Thank you."
deteriorate and I didn't want any "surprises" upon starting the job. Walt was fabulous. His estimate was about mid-range of other estimates that I had received but the warranty he offered was very good. He was very professional, courteous, very detailed, and responsive to my questions. Walt explained the process step-by-step, which I really appreciated due to the condition of the old existing equipment, and he was always accessible by phone and email.
Walt and his associate Ben kept on schedule, tested and labeled each circuit, and also gave me the warranty books (you?d be surprised at the number of contractors who fail give you the warranty information). Meyer Electric obtained the necessary permit and coordinated the inspection (we passed inspection without any issues).
He conducted each phase of the job, from scheduling and estimating to installing and coordinating inspection, at the time he promised he would and at the price he said he would. Working with him and his company was a breeze and I would highly recommend his company to anyone and I would hire him again.
Walt's associate, Ben, arrived at my home promptly at 7 am as scheduled. Ben is very professional and diligent. He replaced the dryer line according to code. Ben also helped us solve the problem of getting wires out of my B-vent chase. He went into the attic and re-routed wires so that they were out of the chase in the attic. He then provided my brother with a plan for removing them from the chase in the basement, because he had to go to the next job. My brother followed his directions and it worked perfectly. There was no need to drill through the house or run additional wiring outside as my brother feared.
I prefer dealing with smaller companies like Meyer Electric. There seems to be better quality control, the prices are reasonable, and there is more attention to detail. My brother called Walt today about another project that needs to be done, and he got back to him promptly with a plan and price.
My only complaint is that he doesn't take credit card payments. I think having this payment option is important.
"We highly appreciate your business and value your opinion. Additionally, we would like to share with you that now we accept credit card payments (VISA, Discovery, Master Card). If you require any electrical services in the future, please rest assure we can accommodate your needs and offer you the most convenient form of payment. Thank you."
He was patient and prompt in every interaction.
Walt and another electrician, Ben arrived early to complete the job (6:50am). They were thorough, they gently moved what needed to be moved, they cleaned and swept when they were done.
I have to say that I was most impressed by two things they did. They took the time to answer my questions which may have seemed simple but I honestly understood the first time they explained things. The other thing was that while on the job they discovered a pipe that made an short job a long one because they had to work around the pipe. I appreciate the fact that they didn't give up and problem solved to make it work. You don't get that kind of service from someone who doesn't care about doing the right job the first time.
"[member name removed]. First of all, we appreciate your business and your time. We do recognize your frustration with disapproved inspection report due to incorrect dryer installation. As I was trying to communicate to you, we did not install your dryer nor did we install the cord; therefore, we cannot be liable for the work done by others (Home Depot in your case). Moreover as you were originally aware of, we discovered your undersize dryer branch wiring in the midst of the "Heavy-Up" process. Hence the cost of the replacing the undersized receptacle and the cord was not reflected in the contract. You disagreed with the suggested cost of the corrective matter stating that it should be a part of the "heavy-up" cost, while it was not. Please keep in mind that nowhere in the National Electrical Code can it be found that an upgrade of the outlet pertaining to your situation and an obtaining a permit for this type of service is a mandatory. Indeed, it is an optional upgrade done at a customer or an electrician discretion although we realize that an electrical inspector approves the job and in no way do we try to question his interpretation of the NEC. Apparently, it is impossible to predict an outcome of the electrical inspection in terms of an inspector's interpretation of the electrical code and the fact that an electrical inspector is the authority having jurisdiction (Article 100 of the National Electrical Code), which assumes that any electrical inspector can place his own judgment against a matter, and we, electrical contractors, have no control over it other than the scope of work mutually agreed and affirmed on the contract. Moreover, it is stated on the contract that "Additional repairs, corrections or upgrades... identified by the local electrical inspector shall be charged separately IF required". Your denial to cover additional charges resulted after the inspection did not comply with the terms of the contract; therefore, no additional service was provided. To reassure you, I am Licensed Master electrician with many years experience for the similar types of projects. All my completed work was/is in compliance with the current electrical code and I am confident in my own professionalism. Finally, please recall, I was trying to explain to you through emails that the inspector failed the "Heavy-Up" part of the project solely due to missing few staples above the electrical panel (very minor fix comparing to the entire "heavy-up" process and per the NEC does not possess a potential hazard). Needless to say you were aware of that fact that the space constraint disallowed us to swing a hammer in to space and place those missing staples. As we discussed, once you allow us, we guarantee that we will be back to fix it. We hope everything stated above sufficiently explains our actions. Thank you."
