Response from Eichholz Services Inc
Unfortunately, what the customer, left out of her review was 2 things, the fact that she called to cancel because her tenants weren't going to be home and the fact that she was suppose to meet the technicians on the job(rental property) to sign for the work to be done and she never showed up. The reason she needed to be there to sign and authorize the work , was because on the previous job we did for her, it took her 2 months to pay for the work that was supposed to be paid that day when we had finished that job. We called her the day prior to coming out to let her know that she needed to be there to sign for the work and she said ok. When the technicians showed up the next day, she was not there. When we called her, she ask if the technicians could just start and she would be there later, we said that she needed to be there to sign for the work before the technicians could do any work. The customer was not happy with having to make a trip to the job(rental property). Do to the fact that the customer did not show up as promised, and then was upset about having to come out to her rental property to sign a work order form, and previously didn't pay her first bill for 2 months the owner of the company decided not to do the job and pulled his technicians off site. He thanked her for her previous business.

Don Eichholz is a ripoff. He charged almost $250 for 1.5 lbs of coolant plus a service fee. I would never recommend this company. Don Eichholz is not trustworthy and he took advantage of a situation. A reasonable charge would have been half the amount of what he charged. Because I was already responsible for the service charge, I had to pay his fee for the coolant. Stay away from this company.

Response from Eichholz Services Inc
I am sorry that Mr (removed member name) is upset with our company. The job was done on 7/19/2010. I went out for the first time to his house on a no cooling call. We quoted him the 139.80 travel/diagnostic charge and he ok'd it. Upon arrival, i checked over the system,checked returns on 2nd floor, checked furnace blower fan and checked refrigerant charge and found it low. I quoted Mr Manns the price upfront to add refrigerant to system and he ok'd it. I did not have any history with this unit to know if it had a history of leaking, if the caps were loose on the charging ports where we hook up our hoses or any other problems. To quote him a price on a major leak check requiring reclaim of existing freon, pressurizing with nitrogen and opening up the sheet metal on top of the furnace to check the coil for leaks seemed excessive and premature since I had no history on the job. I charged the system and used more than double the refrigerant that Mr Manns said,so I am not sure where he got his figure. He called back on 7/23/2010 and said the system worked fine after I left, but was not cooling now and believes he has a leak and am I going to charge him for the same problem. The office advised him I would discuss it when I came out, but he did not call us out again to schedule.

We contacted Eichholz Services Inc and Don came out to inspect. He was great and very knowledgeable. Ultimately we chose another company who offered a little better price but based off this experience I would contact Eicholz again in the future for quotes and possibly work in the future.

Description of Work: The quote for the work, upon visiting and scoping out the project was around $650. I rejected the quote as excessive considering the scope of the work. I hired another company who performed the service for $95, and the workmanship was completely satisfactory.

$650

Response from Eichholz Services Inc
The job was to cut 4 holes in a drywall ceiling in a basement over a 4 ft. wide completely finished train table at standard height with multiple tracks and install customer supplied recessed lights. There is only access from one side as the train table is up against a wall. Then to fish the wires thru the drywall ceiling into an unfinished basement area and run the wires to an existing switch already controlling lights. National Electrical Code sec. 210.12.B requires arc-fault protection for the extension of this circuit from the switch to the new lights and the arc-fault device costs approx. $55.00. Delaware state law requires electrical inspection on this job at a cost of $65.00. With the extreme worry of possibly damaging any of the parts on the train table along with worrying about getting drywall dust on this finished table and having little access to the work area because of the train table, my bid was certainly more than $95.00. I am more concerned with safety and code compliance than being low bid,especially when the bid that was accepted doesn't cover cost of one part and inspection. Donald A. Eichholz

Eichholz was able to set up an appointment on short notice; the service person even waited a few minutes for me as I was running late after picking up my daughter. As soon as he saw our current setup and realized we were getting a gas stove he told me the heavy duty power cords were only for electric ranges. (I had asked 2 or 3 people at the big box store if we definitely needed the cord and they all said yes, and they knew we were purchasing a gas range) It was great to know I didn't have to have the work done and I wasn't even charged for the call. (I did not rate the provider on quality as there was no actual work done but I would definitely call Eichholz again based on this positive experience.
Description of Work: I contacted Eichholz because the store where I purchased my new range told me I needed to use a heavy duty power cord which required a new electric box in our kitchen.

Mr. Eichholz did the work himself. Because his business is small (mostly just him, I think), his availability is not as flexible as bigger firms. But that is the only less-than-positive thing I could say. His price was reasonable, he did what he said he would do after offering several options, he was prompt and very professional. And, most importantly, the work was well done. I will hire him again.

The electrician (Michael) that came actually came a few minutes early. I had to drop one of the items we originally discussed. There was no issue. He performed the work in under an hour, adjusted the amount and made sure the area was left as he had found it. He gave me a receipt that day. I received a statement later in the mail. It was one of the most pain-free experiences I have ever had with a repairman/contractor. I would highly recommend the firm and intend to use them again for additional upgrades/repairs to my home.

Last week Don Eichholz repaired our AC unit. Don services our heating and AC units seasonally. He has performed a major electrical upgrade for us in the past. He replaced our circuit breaker panel and increased the size of our panel, installed surge protection, and installed sub panel. The sub panel will connect to an external generator after he finishes the project in a few weeks.

From the initial voicemail and responsive call back, I knew I had called the right business and was in good hands. I was called several times with an update when Mr. Eichholz would be arriving. The temperature was in the 90's without factoring in humidity. When he arrived, I only needed to provide a small amount of information so that he could fix the problem. I told him safety was my biggest concern. He proceeded to take a look at the circuit breaker box for any potential problem and explained the wiring and let me know that at this time everything seemed fine and nothing needed to be replaced. He answered several of my questions regarding safety issues and things I wanted to have upgraded. He was clear and concise in all the explanations and made them easy to understand for someone not familiar with electrical issues. Mr. Eichholz also changed my fluorescent lights in the kitchen and found they were not working as I had tried to change them and had the same problem. He explained what the cause of that might be as well. So professional, completely knowledgeable about the areas I had questions about and was more than happy to answer them and also present alternatives to problems. I felt so comfortable asking Mr. Eichholz so many questions and also felt a great deal of confidence in his expertise. Mr. Eichholz is one of the best providers of highly experienced professionals I have dealt with in this area. I wish some of my other experiences with other providers were this awesome. I have every intention of asking him to help me with work that needs to be done in the future. I know the work would be done with the utmost of care, and he would continue to explain everything. I will recommend his company to friends, co-workers and anyone I come in contact with that needs assistance of such high ethical, professional standards and expertise. Eichholz Services, Inc. is my company for electrical work! Thank you for such a great experience.
Description of Work: Disconnected an alarm device from an outlet that had been sending an alarm for over 7 hours. Checked the wires to make sure there was no voltage and wrapped the ends with electrical tape for safety. Doublechecked the device that was putting out the alarm from this device to make sure it was completely shut down. I was very frightened of possible fire, and Mr. Eichholz respected that fear and alleviated it for me.

I selected Eichholz after reading the reviews on Angie's List. I left a message when I first called with brief description; received return call the same day. An appointment was made for Don to come the next day, and he arrived exactly on time. Don was courteous and professional throughout, and explained to me what he was doing and why. He diagnosed the front porch problem (which I was worried would be a big deal) quickly, as a faulty fixture, and while I drove to purchase a new one he worked on the other installation. He showed me what he was doing because of the old wiring, and explained how it would eliminate concerns about the wiring and be maintainable in future. I was very pleased with the entire experience, and before Don left we briefly talked about two future jobs we will call him to perform for us, once we save up the money for the work. Highly recommended!!
Description of Work: 1. Diagnose and repair front porch light (blew circuit breaker whenever turned on; no light). 2. Install ceiling lamp, very old wiring.

We were very satisfied with the work. Eicholz was able to solve a small but annoying problem with a bathroom safety switch which previously had defied solution. He was very thorough, pleasant and explained all he was doing. I highly recommend the service.
Description of Work: In preparation for placing our house for sale, Eicholz replaced 2 exterior electrical sockets, two interior sockets and checked over all electrical work including the switch box. At the request of the buyer, examined and replaced the main service connection, and separated a doubled circuit.

Don came to provide a quote on the electrical work associated with our kitchen remodel. I spent over 30 minutes with Don, reviewing the project, and discussing how it would be done. During the visit, Don was polite. At the end of our time together, he promised he would provide a quote within the next week. Don never provided the promised quote. He also didn't respond when I called and left a message asking for him to respond, either by phone or mail. Of the more than 15 service providers of various specialties we've spoken with over the past month, Don is the only one who didn't respond. At a minimum, I would have expected a phone or email response explaining why he wasn't going to provide a quote. Perhaps Don is professional for other customers-- for this one, he was an unprofessional bust.
Description of Work: The project was a several thousand dollar electrical renovation for the kitchen. Don reviewed the project to provide an offer to do the project.

We sent a proposal on 9/27/112 @ 2:08 pm and also on 10/3/12 @ 4:19 pm to the e-mail address given to us by the Customer. He wanted to purchase, supply, & warrant all materials, so I proposed a discounted hourly rate since I have encountered this situation before and problems occur with the material not code compliant or correct and a large amount of time can be wasted & I will only do it if it meets code.
