I have a vacation home in TN and some friends were going to use it, but when they arrived the AC was not operational. I made multiple calls to different AC companies and most were not able to come out that day. I spoke to the receptionist at Sam Jarnigan Electric and AC and asked if they could check the system out. I was told that they were coming back from Knoxville and she would see if they could get there to take a look. I requested that I be contacted prior to their making the trip out to the house. Mean while another company came out and provided an estimate that we accepted as he said he could have it completed and ready the next day. About 3 hours later I received a call back from Sam Jarnigan Electric and AC with a price to replace the unit. I told them that I had already accepted another company's offer and thanked them for their response. I then got a call from the owner asking about the other company's offer. The other company was only replacing the compressor unit where Sam Jarnigan was replacing both the compressor unit and the air handler so there was a price difference and I felt both prices were reasonable. About three days later I received an invoice from Sam Jarnigan Electric and AC for $100. I called and asked the reason and I was told that if they come out and inspected a unit (put hands on) then there was a $100 charge. I explained that I was not told about the $100 service charge and that I had specifically requested to be contacted prior to them coming out as I was contacting other companies and did not want anyone to waist a trip. I was told they would look into it and get back to me. About a month later, with not hearing back, I called to check and was told that we still owed the $100. At this time I will not use this company in the future.
They gave me an estimate of $10,000 before starting and asked for nothing in advance. The total bill was several hundred dollars less, including installing a ceiling fan, some other small jobs and blowing insulation into my attic, which were not included in the quote.
Also, the several men who worked during the week were strictly professional. My daughter and I were there most of the time and I never heard them say an inappropriate word. I felt comfortable leaving them in the house while we did errands.
I rated them a and quot;Band quot; on price to let people know that they were not cheap. However, I would rather pay more for a job well done than pay less and be forever disappointed. I don't think the price was high, considering the quality of the work. I would gladly use this company again and highly recommend them.
