Please see above
Description of Work: We had an attic fan supplied and installes by this company 9/2010 to replace an existing fan that had died. By 5/2011 fan was not functioning and the company did come out and swap out a new motor and found no obvious reason for the malfunction per the receipt. This summer 2013 the fan has again died and the company would charge us full price for a new fan and will not work with us on resolving our issue. The fan has only gotten us through 1 full summer for $450. I have gotten feedback that these fans usually last 10-15 years.

Description of Work: I needed 2 upstair bathroom exhaust fans and saw your deal. After several attempts to reach Kolb Electric, I was finally told to have an estimate done. On July 10, I got an estimate for $808 for 3 bathrooms. After several more attempts to reach them, I was still not able to find out how much it would be for just the 2 upstairs bathrooms. Then I found out that the regular price for a fan is $225 so your deal of $249 was more than I would have paid anyway. I was told several times that they were very busy and that's why I couldn't reach them. I decided not to have the fans installed anymore.

Response from Kolb Electric Inc
This review requires a response as the member did not go in to detail and explain the issues with the work. The call was to remove an old bathroom fan/light unit and replace it with a unit that the customer had purchased. The appointment was scheduled for Monday 3/11 and was changed to Friday 3/8 to accommodate the customers changing schedule. Upon arrival we found that the new unit was ¼ inch smaller than the old unit. The customer asked us to even out the hole and center the new unit and he would make the repairs to the ceiling as we do not cover drywall repair. When the old fan was removed, it was determined that the existing duct work was short because the new fan was smaller and there was no duct to connect to the new fan. As electrical contractors, we do not carry venting materials on our trucks. At that time, the customer indicated that he would go to the hardware store and get the duct work that was required to complete the install and requested that we return later to complete the install. The time and materials charge for this initial call was $176.00 after crediting the customer with the Angie’s List member discount. This amount was paid. Later in the afternoon a technician returned to install the fan with the new duct work that the customer had purchased. This technician was on site for an additional 1 ¾ hours which was not charged to the customer. While the circumstances were not ideal, we do not believe that the job warranted a rating of C for our work performed. It is unfortunate that sometimes circumstances arise that make situations less than desirable, but we believe we made every effort to service this customer the best we could.

Description of Work: I was selling my Mother's House. After the Home Inspection there a few things to be done since the House was built in 1953. Contacted Angie's List and they recommended Kolb Electric. Contacted Kolb Elec and they Met me @ my Mom's house. Showed them the to do List from the Inspection, they gave me an estimate, I then scheduled the work to be done. Kolb was very helpful, they even came out to fix some other things @ my Mom's house. They even worked well with BGE since some of the work involved them also. I would recommend Kolb Elec. to anyone that needs Electrical work done. I would even Call Kolb Elec.
