MC ELECTRIC

OUR CONTRACTOR RAVED ABOUT THE WORK OF MC ELECTRIC AND SAID THAT ''ALL OF HIS OTHER CUSTOMERS LOVE THEM''. PERHAPS THAT RAISED OUR EXPECTATIONS, BUT MC ELECTRIC DID NOT MEET THEM. THE PORCH LIGHTING IS BEAUTIFUL. THE WIRING IS FINE. THE DIMMER SWITCH AND OUTLETS, HOWEVER, ARE NOT. THE PLACEMENT AND STYLE OF THE OUTLETS IS NOT WHAT WE ASKED FOR AND WHEN WE ASKED ABOUT MOVING THEM, WE WERE TOLD ''IT WAS CODE''. FURTHER, THE PRICE MARKUP ON THEIR MATERIALS IS OUTRAGEOUS. AN OUTDOOR GFI UNIT THAT COSTS $9.99 AT THE HARDWARE STORE COST US $100 INSTALLED. AS FOR THE DIMMER, BECAUSE OF PLACEMENT, THEY HAD TO MAKE A HOLE IN BOTH SIDES OF THE WALL IN ORDER TO INSTALL THE SWITCH. AND WHILE WE UNDERSTOOD THE HOLES, WE WERE SURPRISED WHEN THEY LEFT THE EXCESS PLASTER ALL OVER THE FLOOR AND TWO BIG HOLES IN THE WALL. WE HAD TO ASK THEM TO COME BACK AND CLEAN UP/PATCH THEIR WORK. AFTERWARDS, WE STILL HAD TO FIX IT OURSELVES. MAYBE OUR EXPECTATIONS WERE TOO HIGH, BUT THIS WAS A NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE.
