Sorry, but there is no attic available and it isn't prewired. The company was being honest with you. I don't think honesty deserves an F.

First of all, the guy showed up 40 minutes late. When he finally did show up, he didn't have anything he needed on his truck. Then he told me that it would probably take him an hour if I wanted him to go pick up the supplies needed for the work (the BD only covered 2 hours and it was going to be $89/hr for additional time). He went ahead and replaced a previously existing wall switch for a new, wireless one I had purchased but didn't have a cover plate and wanted me to go purchase one (which I didn't do because I was uncomfortable leaving a stranger in my home). There was also a plug that I needed to have replaced on my dryer. He cut off the end but again said that I'd have to go get the plug because he didn't have one (which I was again uncomfortable with so that's been left unfinished as well). In my hallway, there was a light fixture that was hanging lopsided and that I had him adjust. He said he fixed it but then when I checked it, it was still wobbly. When I pointed it out to him, he developed an attitude and refused to do any more work (so he only worked for a total of 40 minutes vs the 2 hours I'd purchased). It's been a horrible experience. Then the woman from the office called and I complained about the situation. She was also rude but said that they'd refund my money.
Description of Work: I bought a Big Deal for 2 hours of electrical labor.

Response from Desert Mountain Electric LLC
When this customer first called me he was going over a list of work needed, a list of 6 concerns which took him 35 minutes on the phone to explain. At one point I asked him a question and I was told to shut up. The customer then decided he did not cover everything, but would continue searching for his "TO DO LIST" and would call me back in the near future. I said perfect, call me when you locate it. When he called a week later, he did apologize to me for yelling at me previously. Our service technician called customer and told him he would be 15 minutes late and the customer agreed that this was fine. Once he arrived, the customer walked our service technician pointing out several issues.The first issue was a cord to the customers dryer that had water dripping on it, and THE CUSTOMER asked our tech to cut if off. The CUSTOMER then stated that he would run to the store and purchase the part to it. Unfortunately, we did not know the type of cord or name brand of appliance, so we couldn't bring the part; when the customer explained concern over the phone, the customer simply stated that the dryer wasn't working properly. It wasn't until we arrived and evaluated it, did we discover why it wasn't working. He said that the tech could work on other concerns while he went to get part. The tech then looked at other exposed wires on his porch, coming out from a vent gable. Tech explained that this was improper and that we could take care of it by installing box, pipe and EMT, but there was about 4 hours of labor and quoted him cost of the materials. They then went inside to a bedroom where a ceiling fan remote was installed for the customer. Tech was explaining the remote and the speeds associated with customers remote; customer disagreeing with him the entire conversation, telling our tech he was wrong. The customer then states, "I thought only God knew everything, you seem to be a know it all." Tech said I have been doing this for 17 years, and customer then got angry stating we should of had his material on our van. Tech tried to explain that we didn't have the type of plug required for his dryer. Customer then complains he is not happy with the service and asks to speak to the owner. Tech calls the owner with his cell phone and customer grabs phone and begins to use profanity to reference our tech to the owner of the company. I cannot type the horrible words the customer used. The tech said I am out of here, please give me my cell phone. Remind you, the owner is still on the phone listening to this customer scream and now threaten our tech. Our tech had to attempt to get his phone from the customer, the customer then wrestled with him, and once he got his phone the tech left the premises and went directly to his van. Customer continues to follow tech cursing him out and threatening him. Tech discovers owner still on the phone; we tell him to contact the police. The customer then contacted the office, where I told him that he had threatened our employee and we were not happy with the situation. I even told him that he had been rude to me since the initial contact. He continued to scream and curse me out and I told him that I was not going to tolerate this. We could either call the police, or go our separate ways. I told him that I had already contacted Angie's List in regards to him threatening our employee and that he could seek a refund through them, but not to ever contact us again. Angie's has a case opened and pending on this customer as a result of his actions. We strive to do our best as a company and treat every person with dignity and respect, and should be treated the same while in the home of a customer. Just because we offer great prices, doesn't mean you take advantage of our company, in your attempts to get everything for free. We will not tolerate our employees being threatened. It is ashame that this occurred, but it will not affect our performance.

It was very good, very quality. We were very pleased. He showed up on time. He was professional. He knew exactly what he needed to do and he accomplished it in a very short period of time. He cleaned up and was very neat. The whole experience couldn't have been better.

The job was scheduled for a Monday afternoon. Troy, the service technician, arrived later in the day and we surveyed the job. After determining he would need some additional parts to change out the lights we agreed he would get them and return the following day. The work was completed on Tuesday without any complications. I was satisfied with the job done and would hire the firm again if needed. Troy was competent and a pleasure to have in my home.

Troy came and assessed my kitchen lighting because I wanted more light above my sink. I ended up getting 5 recessed lights in the kitchen area and the LED ones to hopefully save money and energy. They look great and Troy was excellent.

It went fine. We bought a deal. No problems. I thought that old fuses would be replaced but no fuses were replaced, . apparently they were okay as they were. None had blown prior to the servic. The worker was pleasant and professional. Having everything labeled clearly is helpful. The old labeling was pretty hard to decipher.
Description of Work: examined electrical breaker box. Did whatever was required, and marked which which rooms/ appliances were controlled by each fuse.

All the times that I used Desert Mountain it went consistently well. The first time I used Desert Mountain was to install updated electrical connector devices throughout my home because I have aluminum wiring. There was initially a misunderstanding of what type of connectors I wanted but DM quickly corrected the misunderstanding and ordered the requested devices and were very prompt in coming back out to my house and installing them. They were so professional and did such an excellent job that I used them to also install two lights on the outside of my garage and that went very well, too. I am extremely happy with the results. I also used DM to install a fan in my living room where there was no prior electrical hook up. Because I have a flat roof the installation required some dry wall to be removed from my ceiling and wall. This all was explained to me in detail so there were no surprises in what would need to be fixed. I was also given a name of a drywall person to repair the holes that had to be made. I am thrilled with the results of the appearance of my living room plus the fan is also connected to a dimmer switch which is very convenient. Lastly, DM put in a surge protector. I was told again in great detail what to do in case of a major surge and how to get the protection that I need. Overall, I would highly recommend DM electric for anyone looking to get professional and knowledgeable electrical work plus it was completed for a very reasonable cost.
Description of Work: I had Desert Mountain Electric install a ceiling fan where there was no prior electrical box and they also installed a whole house surge protector. At an earlier time around March they updated my entire electrical system in my house that has aluminum wiring and they also installed two lights on the outside of my garage door.

It went GREAT. It was a pleasure speaking with Ms. T on the phone and having Troy in my house. I was expecting to see a $20 credit on my charge but that never happened. I was told they would honor the $69 price but I was charged $99 for the same time. I never realized the difference when Troy was here since I was happy to see the outcome. I did write a reply to their bill but never heard back. Its a real shame because I was really satisfied with the Tech.
Description of Work: Checked my dedicated lines. I had items plugged in wrong. Checked circuit breakers/box. Checked many items. Troy gave me GREAT advice. Troy did not push me to spend additional money. I did disconnect a BIG freezer that was using a lot of electric that was only used with very little food.

On 2nd visit, installed seven outlets throughout the house plus a light on the back patio. On the 3rd visit, they installed wiremold with outlets under the picture window in living room near computer to clear up wire clutter. Installed additional outlet on outside front shed. Very impressed with the service I received from Troy. If I could give an A+ on my overall experience, the price, quality of work, responsiveness, punctuality, and professionalism, I definitely would. I would not hesitate to use their services again if needed.

They were excellent, very sharp people, very good, very thorough, great. I would hire these folks myself, because they were thorough. They spoke with me as well. I was kind of trying to run an inference there for her. They were excellent. They sent me photos to show me what a mess she had. It was terrific. They were terrific. They are very professional. They are experienced. I would say that they are also honest. They are good. They recommended work to be done. I think they were willing to work with her. I felt that their estimate was a good one. It was an inspection and I would say it was very thorough. I would have no hesitation to have them at all.

I responded to an Angie's List email for $99 for two hours of electrical service. I needed a new ballast for one of three kitchen fluorescent fixtures in the kitchen. I asked about updating the lighting since my fixtures were based on an outdated electrical standard. I decided to expand the scope of the work. Desert Mountain referred me to a drywaller to cover the recessed opening . Desert Mountain then came back and installed five LED can fixtures. The kitchen looks more modern and I am happy with the result.

I'm replacing the storage cabinets in my garage to make it more useful as a workshop. I have a 15 amp GFCI circuit and a dedicated 20 amp freezer circuit. The 20 amp is nice for power tools, so I asked the technician to pull from there and add two additional outlet boxes to the work area. I also had a switch installed for under cabinet lighting. As always there were a couple of surprises in the walls, but the tech easily overcame them and with both of us pushing and pulling the wire the job went really quick. I purchased a two hour special and we were done with a half hour to spare.
Description of Work: Added additional outlets and a switch to an existing circuit.
