"This customer was unhappy only due to the fact that she called us out first to troubleshoot an issue with her pool, and when we did our troubleshooting the electrician found that the issue was within a pool part and there wasn't anything more we could do for her. She felt that because we couldn't fix the pool part we shouldn't charge her for the troubleshooting time it took our electrician. We explained that we had to charge for the service call, our electrician found her problem, but the problem would be fixed by the manufacturer of her part. An electrician had to come out to diagnose the problem. We are very sorry that we couldn't please this customer, and we hope in the future she can understand that we provided our best service to her."
"Thanks for the review! We are very happy to hear that you were pleased with the service you received."
"Thanks for the review! We are happy to hear that we were recommended to you and that our electrician was neat and clean. We are sorry to hear you felt the price was too high. Our electricians are highly trained and we are a professional organization with all the proper licensing and insurances in place, and unfortunately in the trade business we have to compete with the "electricians" or handymen who are not licensed or insured, therefore their pricing can be very low. With Quality Electric you can be sure you are getting a professional, licensed master electrician. Also, our electricians are always clean and presentable, we do thorough background checks on everyone before letting them in your home, and we provide warranties on everything we do."
"Hello (deleted member name), Thanks for your review. We're sorry you felt that way about our electrician, Dan. This was a service call set up by your home warranty company and unfortunately in those cases we are at their mercy and can only do what the warranty company allows. If the warranty company refuses to allow us to complete any work then we can't, and because of that we usually find the home warranty customers are not happy with us when something isn't covered under their warranty claim. We would absolutely not do more work than we claimed to have done. We've been in business a long time and wouldn't treat customers that way. Perhaps it was a misunderstanding with the warranty company, as they were our actual customer and all billing and work-related information went directly through them."

"When we first went out to the customer's home to fix his generator, we went through the troubleshooting that Generac has us do. When we were complete, we ran through the tests with the customer and confirmed everything worked fine. The customer was happy to have his generator working again, and we were happy to have another satisfied customer. A few months later the customer called in with his own troubleshooting stating that he knew what was wrong with it, and so the generator technician that was dispatched to his home the first time told him we would have to order the part again. The next week, Generac informed us that we needed a serial number on his generator and we called to get that information. He called us back with the serial number, the order went through and we waited for the part to come in. (deleted member name) then called in last week, left a message aggressively stating that the attorney general and better business bureau are interested in his "case" and we better call him back. We were shocked because we have had no issue in the past with this customer, and we did not understand why the sudden hostility. The secretary called (deleted member name) back after hours and explained that the technician he left the message for was working late that day and didn't make it back to his office yet to return the message he left a few hours earlier. The customer was screaming, threatened to take us out of business "as he has done to two other businesses in the past", was cursing at the secretary, told her he was going to rip into her and rip into his technician, etc. He was being completely unreasonable. This was not an emergency, and unfortunately when we place an order with another company that makes the part, we are at the mercy of the delivery date they provide us. Also, the secretary stated she believed it came in over the past few days, possibly Friday, Monday or Tuesday (it was a Wednesday when we spoke with him.) We also stated that he was going into the schedule that Monday, which his technician would tell him when he returned his call later that day, but the customer didn't wait for a return call and instead called our offices screaming threats. The owner of the company was made aware of the situation and he called the customer. The customer was equally hostile to the owner of the company stating that he makes threats and comes through, so we will absolutely not deal with a customer that is threatening us. This customer was unreasonable and hostile. A customer who threatens that he puts people out of business is obviously a "problem customer". Also, we absolutely are not required to warranty a part that we did not manufacture. It's a Generac part that broke, and we were just providing good customer service by offering to warranty the defective part, which we have shipped out to the customer. We have many satisfied customers, and we are sorry that (deleted member name) felt that he didn't receive good service from our company."
"Thank you for your review. We wanted to point out that we do offer 24/7 emergency service, however it is at emergency and overtime rates, which would have made the job more expensive for the customer and we try to avoid that unless the customer specifically requests that it be handled immediately. Otherwise we come out, quote the job and then give the customer the price and a schedule date to complete the work. If after we gave a schedule date it was mentioned that you needed this work done immediately we would have definitely had a technician complete the job for you that same day, but again it would have ended up costing you a few hundred dollars more. We strive for great customer service and we want to make our customers happy. Thank you for using Quality Electric in the past and we hope you will use us again in the future if you have any electrical needs."
In the past, I've needed various types of contractors and haven't had very good luck dealing with some of them. Basically, no return phone calls, or returned phone calls but would never show up at the agreed time and date to check out the work that needed to be performed or everything went well up to this point but the contractor never sent an estimate. I'm sure most people went through this before, so this time, I checked out Angie's List and decided to give Quality Electric a call because of their reviews.
I called Quality Electric on a Saturday and left a voice message. In a few hours received a returned call from Dale. We talked a few minutes about the issue of losing power to my rear garage and then agreed on a time and date for a repair estimate. Dale's brother, Rob, showed up on time and assessed the damage. Rob was very courteous, professional and knowledgable in the electrical field and explained what his company needed to do to fix the issue along with a price quote (quote was the same as the actual installation cost). Dale was also very courteous and professional and worked in detail with our insurance company to provide them with the necessary information for our insurance claim. A few weeks later, I received a call from our insurance company and they said our claim was being paid for the damaged cabling. Right after I received the call I scheduled an installation date with the receptionist at Quality Electric (she was also very courteous).
Rob and a few other electricians showed up on time, trenched out a path between the house and rear garage, removed the old wiring, installed new conduit and new wiring. All the electricians were courteous and professional and got the job done right the first time.
On the same day, while replacing the underground cabling they installed an AC disconnect electrical box. This was a separate job and the price wasn't include in this review. (see other review)
the re-inspection and the work that had to be done was more pricey than we anticipated.
We agreed to a date and Robert arrived on time and ready to do the install. He had all the necessary items needed to do the complete job when he arrived. He stayed with the job until it was completely finished. We had to make some adjustments to the original quote but they did not nickel-and-dime us. In fact Robert threw in several items that could have been easily listed as add-ons but were not. After the job was completed Robert cleaned up everything and left the area looking better than when he arrived. Dale and Robert are brothers and work very well together, they compliment each other. The next day it was necessary to get some information on the install and Robert returned our call promptly and completely answered our questions and concerns. I wish all contactors did these smaller jobs like Quality Electric. We were treated like a million dollar customer. This was our first use of Angie's List and it will surely not be our last.
The workers themselves very professional and my wife never felt uncomfortable with them here in the house the three days that they were here...THAT in itself makes me feel this is a good group to work with!
Sometimes good work comes with a price, so maybe that is why they cost a bit more. What was done was done well and no problems have come from it. I would call them again in the future....I just need to budget for it first!
UPDATE:
in the midst of hurricane Irene (as described above) they were amazing! For both visits (a year apart) the team sent was the same. They were professional and courteous. The only negative is that one of the guys smoked (outside only), but the window and door to the basement was open. I can't stand smoke and I was stuffed up for several hours...but that's just me. I would highly recommend Quality Electric to anyone asking!
