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.

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.

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.

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.
