The subscriber must have us confused with another provider. We did not install 6 Ceiling Fans on 7/6/18 (nor ever). We did however replace 1 Ceiling Fan 12/6/17.

Thanks for the great review. We hope that you are enjoying all of your new dimmers. Dimmers allow better control of lighting and make bulbs last 12 times longer.

Cancelled appointment
Description of Work: I made an appointment and after I gave all the information, I was told I needed to give my credit card number to reserve the appointment. Maybe I am old fashioned, but I am not about to give out my credit card info before I get any service done.

Response from Certified Electrical Technologies
No reason to get upset. If you do not agree with our policies, you have every right not to make an appointment. Posting a poor review, is rather unfair. Just like the Hotel and Rental Car industries, we require a CC to hold an appointment. We do not charge anything to the card without a customer's approval. This policy has virtually eliminated "no shows" which were a big problem prior to implementing the policy 8 years ago.
