Technicians arrived with work assignment which said I was responsible for $100 deductible. Showed them the problems and they diagnosed the problem. He then contacted his the owner to discuss his findings. The owner then asked to speak with me and when I got on the phone he was verbally abusive. He tile me he was there by mistake and I needed to agree to pay the entire cost of the repair if the company that contracted him did not pay. He began threatening me by saying that he would take me to small claims court he kept on ranting leaving me in total shock. I could not understand why he was choosing to attack me in this manner. He took on an assignment and turned around and tried holding me hostage. He had an agreement to provide service and I had an agreement to pay $100 which was documented by his company. This man is totally unprofessional and not be allowed to serve the public. He ordered me to pay the $100 and that his workers must get out of my house. What did I do to you Mr Popkin? No one deserves this. Technicians were very professional and it was sad that these two young men had to witness this behavior by someone they should be looking up to. What are you teaching these young men that work for you? They are our future and it is sad that you would chose to attack an innocent homeowner.
Response from Popkin & Son Electric
"Mrs. [Member Name Removed]: You and I spoke a few days before my repair crew was mistakenly sent to your home. I explained in our telephone conversation that we DO NOT accept payments from home warrantee companies. (Unfortunately, in the past, warrantee companies do not reimburse us our normal charges, typically less than 50%). Your explanation of the incident neglected to explain that our technicians located the source of the problem and "safed-off" the exposed 220-volt dryer line, so you no longer had the issue. Therefore, you paid for the services rendered. I'm not sure if you called our company back, after we spoke, but some how my crew was dispatched to your residence. Your review states that I was contracted by the Repair Company, and as you are well aware, we were not. Popkin was contacted by you. You are the only one with an association to the warrantee company. All I requested was, if the company does not pay me for the work completed, that you will pay the balance, and recoup the funds directly from your warrantee company. My apologies for being agitated with regards to this situation. Respectfully yours, Andrew Popkin"

Andrew Popkin called early on the day of the appointment, but asked me a bit more about the breaker panel. I sent him pictures of the two panels. None of the switches had labels. Andrew took one look at the pictures and told me what to do. It worked! No charge. This took all of about 10 minutes. The man knows what he's doing. I"ll call again when I have other electrical jobs.

They overcharged. The cost was very high which upset me. They came to do one thing and then wanted to do a couple of other things and the price was astronomical. They were good at diagnosing the issue with the wiring and alarm box. They did a good job.

The technician was prompt, skilled and efficient. He spent over 3 hours to get the job done correctly and cleaned up afterward as well. We have used Popkin for several other jobs and they've always been excellent. What more can you ask for?

Amazing fast emergency service, came over 8:30 am Sunday morning on Father's Day was having people over and electric to pool filter and heater went out night before. Came on time found problem electrical cord and outlet by pool burnt out and he changed both fast. Filter and pool heater was up and running again so we can use the pool and water would warm up for us. Would highly recommend him and his company to everyone...price was fair too for an emergency call on a holiday weekend. Will definitely call again for any other electrical needs!
