Read this before you call--Horrible experience

I contacted this group because they had a nice website, and the staff was friendly when I called ("How can I make you smile?" is a little cheesy, but fine). There was a $59 fee to come out to the house. Again, this was expected and fine. The electrician proceeds to tell me that it will cost a minimum of $400+ to run some vague "diagnostic" tests that determine the cause of the problem "90 of the time." This, of course, did not cover the price of the repair. I declined his test. My neighbor, who is handy, but by no means a certified electrician, looked at our breaker box and advised that we needed a few breakers replaced that were being overloaded. Total cost? Less than $10. So, either my untrained neighbor knows more than their certified electrician, or they were way overcharging for a simple problem. You decide. I'm not sure which is worse.

We at AAA Electrical Service always welcome customer comments. It is always difficult to explain to a customer why or what needs to be done when they are not physically present. Sometimes it is only replacing a few breakers. They may be old, the wiring may be the problem, and there may be a circuit thats having issues or many other things that could cause the breakers to malfunction. That is the type of information we offer through our diagnostic testing to make sure that your electrical system is safe for you and your family. However, it is always nice to have helpful neighbors.
