Scherer Electric

My attic fan was running slow. $85 for a service call. $850+ for troubleshooting the problem. Let me repeat $850 to troubleshoot, if they found the issue in less than an hour they would drop the fee to $541. It does not apply to the cost of repair..all repairs and parts are in addition to the $850 trouble shooting fee

Scherer Electric charged me over $500 to essentially reset a tripped GFCI. When I called to dispute the outrageous charge, I was told that even though they 1) did not locate the source of the leakage, 2) did not repair or replace any outlets or GFCIs and 3) were sure that my problem was bound to happen again, they refused to lower the cost. To try to win me over they told me that my fee covers a "warranty" for the same problem so when it happens again, they'll come out at no cost to me. So basically, I get to pay for the privledge of having them return to my house in the future for the exact same problem with no guarantee that they'll find the source or fix it permenantly. Rubbish.

They charged me $85 to show up and quote me another $735 to just to troubleshoot and then any addional work or supplies would be extra. Extremely overpriced and the technicians straight up lied in a response from my poor Google review. Choose another company and save yourself the headache and cash that it cost me.

Went very well , mike was professional but shocked how much electricians cost

NO ONE from Scherer Electric ever contacted me!

Very well great job and we're friendly and very professional

Jonathon was amazing. Very professional and knew a lot about his job and what needed to be done. Amazing service and would highly recommend

Two employees arrived (on time and with proper notification). They walked throughout the house, unscrewed the cover on the electric panel, and “assessed” the electrical connections (looking at each situation and testing each socket with a meter tester to see if the sockets were “hot”. I was then provided with a quote- $1300 for the work on the dryer and jacuzzi tub. This quote did not include any work for the dishwasher or wire removal. I’m not sure the exact prices but it was explained to me that the dryer hookup was ~$250. Now I did overhear the two men speaking with each other and mentioning that the wires to hookup the electric were “hanging” in the panel and just needed to be “attached”. He explained it to me that the entire panel/switch had to be required. It was roughly $500 to ensure electric was reaching the jacuzzi tub. This cost would not assess the motor or any aspect of the actual jacuzzi- it would just get the electric to the jacuzzi. The quote also included $80 to trim the wall around the electric panel. I politely declined the services and offered to pay the $79 fee that was advertised as the flat rate assessment fee. This was an exact quote from the email I was sent. When I went to pay the fee- I was told it would cost $208.67. When I’m inquired further about this cost it was explained that the $79 only got the truck to the house. I was also expected to pay ~$80 for the “minimum electrical repair fee” and ~$80 for another fee which apparently covered the $40/hr charge per employee. I can not emphasize enough that NO WORK WAS PERFORMED. They never accessed the crawl space, never connected or cut a wire. I respect that as professionals they have every right to charge high for their service- I have the right to look elsewhere. But I was led to believe the assessment/quote would be provided for $79 and was left with over $200 in fees for NOTHING.

He fixed everything that needed fixing and also found a few none complying items that I had him fix also. Everything was done in a professional manner.

Horrible first. They wanted 79.00 just for give estimates. No thanks

called up they don't do free estimates. $79 to just come out.

Very prompt and courteous. Showed up on time and completed work in a reasonable amount of time.

They were professional and informative throughout the process. They solved the problem and gave me recommended next steps. Excellent service, and treated my home as if it were theirs.

The woman who answered my phone call was very courteous and explained that all the electricians were insured, and given a thorough back ground check before being hired. Scherer's website is also very helpful and provides information on all of the services they provide. Since they were very busy, I had to wait a week and a half for a service call. I was given a 3 hour window for the afternoon. I was also called when the electricians were on their way. Tom and Mike were very friendly, answered my questions patiently and explained what work needed to be done in layman's terms. A written estimate was written and explained. Mike asked for my preference on how low I wanted the pendant light to hang and demonstrated my choices. Tom and Mike cleaned up any material resulting from the drilling. I was very impressed! They were here for about 90 minutes.

They arrived exactly on time. Gave the estimate, and I agreed to the price. Went about their work right then and there and had everything finished, working, and cleaned up in 2 yours. It doesn't get any better!

The first time they came in, they looked at the box, and unscrewed something. The electricity went back on so they didn't do anything else. Two days later, it went out again, and I had to call them back and they charged me again. I wasn't too satisfied with it, since I was charged both times and all they did the second time was just screwed down the wire. They said they would take $150 off, but they only took $27 off. They were also supposed to send a receipt, and I didn't get one after about a week. He ended up sending it to the wrong address.

They were real good. Very good. One, two, three, they were done. Any questions I had, they answered them. They did a fine job.

Everything went smoothly. They took the time to explain what was being done in a very comfortable manner. I am using them again for another house. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

They were excellent. Workers were polite and neat. They put booties on before they came in the house. I was very satisfied with them.

I called for a quote to install the ceiling fan. The person scheduling the appointment was very professional, but wanted to charge me $79 just for a quote. That's outrageous! The scheduler said it was because they are sending a full trained electrician who could actually perform the work right then. I re-iterated that I only wanted a quote for the work to be done. Its too bad Scherer doesn't have someone else qualified to perform an estimate, but I won't pay for someone to give me an estimate on how much more I have to pay to get work done. Scherer electical might have many satisfied customers, but thanks to their "dispatch fee" policy, I won't be one of them.

I am looking into solar electricity -- when the solar company saw my electric box said it was a fire waiting to happen --- contacted Scherer based upon Angie's List reviews -- came the next week --- reviewed situation, gave estimate -- I said yes --- they installed the new box immediately, replaced other dangerous situations including frayed external wire from meter to house and improperly located ground wires, hard wired smoke/CO2 detector --- fully explained everything, contacted electrical inspector for approval of installation --- when they left I felt relieved and protected. They were professional, competent, efficient, courteous, and thorough.

It went fine until I got the bill. I needed a plug outside for my heat tapes that I use in the winter. It was installed and everything was fine until I was hit with a bill for $1,000.00. I had my electrician look at it and he was shocked. parts were marked up 200% I guess that's all a part of doing business. I will never use the again needless to say.

Very quick and beautifully done. The two gentlemen were pleasant and kind. They even repaired the fixture they removed that my late husband had made for me. As a widow, I am sometimes hesitant to have strangers work on my house but I felt completely comfortable with these two really nice guys!

I like them; I was very happy with their work. They were quick, efficient and did everything to code. They were good and prompt. They also answered the questions and knew what to be done and what not to be done. It took them about two to three days and two workers came out to do the work. The price was a little high.

They were very professional and courteous to my 76 y/o mother and didn't seem to mind my dog barking at them every time they came up from the basement. They cleaned up the basement floor where they cut a piece of wood off the panel holding the electrical box, as well as cleaned up the debris from where the wall is crumbling a little. They vacummed the cupboard where they put the new outlet for the microwave, and cleaned up the floor where the stove sat where they had to cut a hole in the wall. Overall, we were very pleased with the service. It's been a long time coming to get that fixed and I feel good about finally having an electrical company we can trust not to jerk us around and take us for a ride. We have another project we need help with so we will definitely contact them again.
