Got ripped off!
I call Mr. Electric to look at a light fixture in one of my rental properties. I agreed to a $124 diagnostic fee and set the appointment. When the electrician showed up he diagnosed a bad ballast. To change the ballast he wanted to charge me over $441. I immediately told him to leave the house and I bought a new fixture for less than $40 and it took less than 30 minutes to complete the change out.
The fee he wanted to charge me was definitely price gouging and I believe they should be sanctioned for trying to take advantage of a senior citizen.
This is a lesson learned to never use the unscrupulous thieves known as “Mr. Electric”!
