Dear Mr. [Member Name Removed], we want to express our appreciation for taking the time to submit your favorable review of our company and the service we provided you. We appraise every submittal and take our customer's feedback very seriously - it serves as a valuable tool to enhance our continuous improvement. And although you graded our pricing as a "C" for your $695.00 invoice, we hope you understand the care taken to accommodate your request to furnish longer down rods for your fans, and our return visit to install the down rods contributed to the overall cost of the invoice; as did our repair of your 4-way switch and door bell. We pride ourselves in employing the BEST service electricians in the area, and thus Gulf Coast Electric recognizes we must pay a premium to garner and retain our highly qualified and talented work force. Again, thank you very much for submitting your overall positive review, and please let us know if there is anything more we can do for you!

Description of Work: Both Don Joiner (office / PM) and Roger (installer)were a pleasure to work with. The pricing was fair and timely; and the communication between us and Gulf Coast went smoothly. All communication was handled via phone or email to establish the scope of work, materials to be used, and time to have work performed. Roger called ahead of time to confirm the appointment; arrived when he said he would; and had all the necessary materials to complete the work. They exceed our expectations.

Response from GULF COAST ELECTRIC
Ma'am, thank you very much for taking the time to submit a review of our performance. We appraise every submittal and take our customer's feedback very seriously in our efforts to continuously improve our service. We are happy to learn you are satisfied with our service and that we were able to get your A/C up and running in our Florida heat and humidity. And although you graded our pricing as a "C", we hope you understand we must charge a premium during the weekend and after hours during the night. This is a necessary cost associated with our policy of appropriately compensating our talented electricians during these off hours. Our on-call electrician must remain by the phone and on an "alert" status while covering these unusual hours, while sacrificing their personal and quality family time. Fortunately, we have a number of electricians qualified to pull the on-call duty so they do not have to sacrifice too often. Nonetheless, Gulf Coast Electric recognizes we must pay a premium to garner and retain our highly qualified and talented service electricians, which therefore influences our week-end rates. Again, thank you very much for submitting your overall positive review, and please let us know if there is anything more we can do for you!

Dear Member, Thank you for taking the time to write the review of our company on Angies List. I was concerned with the "C" grade you gave us in the Responsiveness catagory as we make every effort to be responsive. In reasearching your call I see you called our company on August 28, 2013 and scheduled the work for August 30, 2013. We showed up as scheduled on the morning of August 30, 2013 and completed the work on that same day. I also noticed in the electricians note on the invoice that you requested a quotation on some additional electrical work that required the responce of one of our estimators. This did not get accomplished untl several days later and unfortunately the work you requested a estimate on was not work that we perform. I apologize for the delayed responce in responding to your estimate. Thank you for your repeat business it is appreciated.
