Description of Work: Service pro was very knowledgeable and took time to go through all questions write up pricing and make suggestions. Very clean and would hire again if not for price. The services are extremely pricey for the amount of time and labor involved. Will likely find another electrician before the next project.

Description of Work: I called Atkins Electric and explained that my water heater was not working. The receptionist knew exactly what I needed and said someone would be out to fix it. Well, the man arrived on time and said "We don;t fix water heaters." I responded with "Well, what are you doing here then?" All he did was check the fuse box which I had already done and then gave me a bill for the 139.00. I called the company approximately 5 times and was told they wouldl fix the problem. It is over a month and I have no "fix" and they won't return my calls not. I had to call another company to fix the water heater. All the receptionist had to say was we don't fix water heaters and that would have been that. I will never call them again. They won't respond to my calls.

Response from Ontime Service - Electrical, Heating & Cooling, & Plumbing
Thank you for your review of our service. I was not aware of this problem so I am glad you brought it to my attention. I did some research on this and could not find a record of five phone calls related to this issue. I also looked back at the original work order. The information we had was "the homeowner was taking the faceplate off of the water heater it sparked and kicked off the electricity and tripped the breaker." It is very difficult for our customer service representatives to know if a situation like this is actually an electrical problem or a problem within the unit. Based on the description we assumed it was an electrical problem and we should not have made that assumption. We have a written 100% satisfaction guarantee on everything we do. I'm not sure weather or not you have requested a refund but I will refund all of your money anyway. We never collect any payment up front so if you were unhappy at the time of the service the technician never should have accepted your payment. According to our records the charge was 113.00 which I will mail to you today. Please feel free to call me directly at 369-5652 if you would like to discuss this further. Thanks again for bring this to my attention. Kerry Adkins, President
