I cancelled the appointment.
Description of Work: I needed them to change a light bulb on my porch and a few other things. I had bought a deal for $89 for two hours of labor. I told them they would have to use a ladder to change the bulb and they said that would cost about $65 extra because of the "hazard" of using a ladder.

Description of Work: Technician was excellent. I provided the light switch and as per the owner I was supposed to receive a $10.00 credit. The owner later refused to refund the $10.00 because I had gone through Angie's List

Response from EL Electric
Hello [Member name removed], First and foremost thank you for taking the time to review us. My name is Veronica and I got a chance to speak to you right after the service. As soon as you told me there would be a refund made to you. I said no problem let me get the technicians paperwork and I will be more than happy to send that over. After speaking to both the tech and the owner they stated there would be no refund that there must have been a misunderstanding. The fact that you provided the part made you save $10 because we would not be charging you for a part we didn't supply. Latter on I called and we where able to speak. I apologize for the misunderstanding and explained to you what the $10 saving not refund was all about. As you may already know unfortunately we can not give a additional discount on a already discounted price. Again our most sincere apology for the inconvenience this may have caused you.

The electrical work was fine it was the scheduling that was poor. Three times I was put off for a scheduling date. When a date and time were set it was a 10 - 12 time. The night before he appointment a phone call asked if I could do 8 t0 9. I said yes and was waiting at 8:00. When no electrician appeared by 9:30 I called their office and got voice mail. Then I called you. The electrician appeared at 10:00 and showed me his work order which said 10:00. Nobody told him of the change in time.

Joshua the electrician arrived 30 minutes early for the appointment. He looked at the job and got to work. He got the old fan down and put the new one up. EL's receptionist is not professional. I had to call 3 times to get an appointment scheduled. She lacks follow through.

It said one man hour of labor. My outlet broke and the prongs on a cable stayed inside. I also had a couple of lightbulbs needed to be replaced on my high ceiling. They said they needed to rent a special ladder in order to change the bulbs. They were not able to estimate the job on the phone. I would prefer to not go with this service provider.

Response from EL Electric
First of all this promo is for a 1-hour labor only, materials and extra stuffs are not covered by $49 coupon. The main inquiry was to fix an outlet with broken plug part stuck in it which our front desk confirmed is doable even less than an hour. The client wanted to maximize her coupon by doing high-ceiling lights that are installed at a height equivalent to 2 stories height (24 ft. high inside the house as described by client) which will require special ladder or a lift that will need to be rented separately and is obviously outside or not covered by coupon promotion. With this, customer did not want to take additional payment for rental and additional charge for time. We wish every one and each one of our customers to be satisfied in a logical way without taking extra advantage of our services and be fair to us somehow.

They always return your calls, are easy to work with, and their bid was comparable or maybe less than the competition. They were also willing to negotiate.

Electrician said not to overload or use the appliances at the same time.
Description of Work: We did not have power on outlet on one side of the kitchen. It was a trouble-shooting that the electrician did. The electrician was knowledgeable, first of all checked for faulty wiring inside receptacle box. After he made sure all wires are properly connected, he checked the circuit breaker and even showed us where to reset it because it was an overload.
