Everything needed by provider was here when he arrived, DID NOT have use anything from truck. The reason service was required is that switch was a tad larger than original which made it not fit (using simple screwdriver). Upon arrival we looked at wall switch, then I was quoted a price of $256. Okay, I thought maybe there would be something that I was unable to do. We went in basement to turn off the circuits, after viewing the switch, I was asked if I had the directions to switch installation (I did), then I was told "each switch is different" (meaning every switch is installed differently, I guess). Alright let's get started on installing the switch, now I was told "to install switch we have to use an extension". This was a large white plastic box that would allow the switch to set away from wall, did not go with décor of room. I asked "what is this?", he explained it was an extension need to install switch, I told him no we don't want that. My wife would had been furious with me to see this large white plastic frame around switch. He then suggested compressing the wire which may short out, that's what I want was my answer (my original reason for calling). Since you don't want the extension, I'll deduct $20 from bill, okay let's move on, there was no deduction from using the switch that I purchased, nor was there deduction for doing nothing more than using a power screwdriver to complete job. Charging by the job and not by the hour is a lot of crap, I was charged $236 for someone to use a power screwdriver for less tan 15 minutes. NEVER AGAIN
(http://www.prestoelectric.com/)was the man we previously used. My husband hired this company, thinking it was the same people. It was not. The price to me seemed really high, but my husband trusted the company. After the first visit, doing some work, the electrician was hard to reach. He would not return phone calls or emails, and still has not. To date we do not have electricity in my kitchen, nor have we since he put in the new electric box. It has been since June, over 3 months, with no working stove, wall oven or microwave! I contacted BGE myself to finally get them to schedule an appointment to run electricity to the new box, which the electrician should have done. This is unacceptable. Beware! This company has changed!
