Description of Work: Have not used yet. In talking with company project in mind was too costly, so am holding on to certificate until I have a need, since I was assured that face value does not expire.

We would never let a coupon expire. It is good forever. Even for a subscriber who gave us a "B" considering we have not provided service :-) We are confident that we can bring that up to an "A" by the end of the semester

Thanks for the great review. Our AL $89 10 Point Safety Inspection is a terrific value. We look over a home's electrical system and identify any potential safety issues. If we find any issues, we will provide a no-obligation estimate. It is an excellent opportunity for a homeowner to gain a better understanding of their home's electrical system. We look forward to your next project !

Thanks for the great review and congratulations on your Whole House Surge Arrestor ! This device protects every electrical and electronic device in your home against lightning and utility surges (that occur every day). It comes backed with a lifetime replacement warranty and a manufacturer $25,000 protected equipment warranty. AL subscribers pay only $199 which is $100 off our regular price for this fantastic level of protection. We have never had a client sustain damage after installing one of these devices. Without this protection, average damage is around $8,000

The 10 Point Safety Check is a very inexpensive ($89 for AL subscribers) way for homeowners to gain an understanding of their electrical systems. We will point out any safety issues that are found, and if requested, either provide a quote or repair any issues

Response from Certified Electrical Technologies
The subscriber bought a coupon from AL and did not read the details of the deal. The promo did not cover what he wanted to have done. We suggested that he request a full refund from AL, which he did. We disagree with the C rating, and think the subscriber should have received a D for not reading the terms of the promotion :-)

Thanks for the nice review. This was an AL Big Deal to install a Whole House Lightning and Surge Arrestor for $175. The subscriber purchased for 2 homes. The device protects everything electrical in a home from lightning and surge damage. It comes backed with a Lifetime Replacement Warranty and a $25,000 protected equipment warranty There is simply no cheaper insurance for your home

We are sorry we could not connect for this project The Subscriber purchased a promotion which requests that the purchaser contact us to schedule. After several days, we sent an email asking if the subscriber would like to schedule which was not answered. Subscriber requested a refund which was approved. We have someone that answers our phones 24/7/365 and most emails are returned within 1 hour. We are very easy to contact !

Not sure what this means ???? Possibly referring to the expiration date of an AL Big Deal. Too bad the subscriber did not contact us or we would have been happy to say that we NEVER let a deal expire. We will honor an AL BD forever. Given that we have been in business for 33+ years, forever means something ! Just like our Lifetime Warranty on labor. It's forever !

This was a 10 Point Safety Check. Sometimes (like this one) we find everything is fine and give clients confidence in their electrical systems. If we do find an issue, we let the client know the issue and the cost to repair in a no-pressure manner
