I HAVE USED TOTAL ELECTRIC TWICE. THEY HAVE BEEN CONSISTENTLY FRIENDLY AND FAIR, AND HAVE EVEN FOLLOWED UP WITH A TELEPHONE CALL AFTER THE SERVICE WAS COMPLETED TO MAKE SURE I WAS SATISFIED. I WILL USE THEM AGAIN AND REFER THEM TO OTHERS.

THE REPAIRMAN LEFT NO MESS. HE ALSO BROUGHT A SEPARATE PAIR OF SHOES TO USE WHILE IN THE HOUSE AND LEFT HIS BOOTS AT THE DOOR. HE WAS VERY UP FRONT ABOUT CHARGES AND EVEN MADE SURE I RECEIVED THE DISCOUNT I HAD COMING. HE ASKED ABOUT FURTHER WORK AND MY SATISFACTION WITH WHAT WAS DONE. MUCH BETTER THAN AND MORE PROFESSIONAL THAN MANY SERVICE PEOPLE I HAVE WORKED WITH.

THEY SAY THAT THEY WILL PREPARE BIDS FOR JOBS OVER $1500. THEY ESTIMATED THAT THE UPGRADE JOB ON MY HOME WOULD COST AROUND $3000, BUT TOTAL ELECTRIC WAS STILL HESITANT TO COME TO MY HOME AND GIVE ME A WRITTEN BID. IN ADDITION, THE REPRESENTATIVE I TALKED TO WAS EXTREMELY PATRONIZING. I WOULDN'T HIRE THEM NOW EVEN IF THEY DID GIVE ME A BID. APPARENTLY, IN MY OPINION, THEY AREN'T INTERESTED IN OBTAINING MY BUSINESS.

Response from Total Electric Inc
WE SPOKE WITH THIS MEMBER CONCERNING THE HOME SHE WAS CONSIDERING PURCHASING. WE GAVE HER AN APPROXIMATE COST FOR A SERVICE UPGRADE AND THE MINIMUM CODE UPDATES THE CITY OF ST. PAUL REQUIRES WITH A SERVICE UPGRADE, ACCORDING TO THE MEMBER'S DESCRIPTION OF THE HOME. THE MEMBER INFORMED US THAT SHE WOULD CALL AFTER SHE RECEIVED ANOTHER ESTIMATE TO SEE IF WE COULD SAVE HER SOME MONEY. THE MEMBER NEVER CALLED AGAIN. WE ARE SORRY WE DIDN'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE HER AND POTENTIALLY SAVE HER SOME MONEY.

THE OLDER MAN THAT DID OUR WORK IN THE END WASN'T TOO CONCERNED ABOUT COVERING THINGS BEFORE MAKING HOLES IN OUR WALLS OR CEILINGS, LEAVING A MESS FOR US. HE STARTED OUT COVERING THINGS, BUT THEN GOT LAX AS THE DAY WENT ON. HE WAS NOT GOING TO COVER THE TREADMILL BEFORE CUTTING INTO OUR CEILING, AND IF WE HADN'T CAUGHT HIM IN TIME, IT PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN RUINED. I ASKED HIM TO COVER THINGS AND HE SAID HE WOULD, BUT WAS LAX AND INCONSISTENT. I TALKED TO THE REPRESENTATIVE ABOUT THIS AND HE SAID THAT HE WOULD TALK TO HIM ABOUT IT. WHILE I WILL NOT KNOW IF IT WAS TAKEN CARE OF OR NOT, THE REPRESENTATIVE WAS VERY IMPRESSIVE AND SEEMED TO CARE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. OTHERWISE, THE ELECTRICIAN WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL, KNEW HIS WORK WELL, AS WELL AS BEING HONEST, COMMUNICATIVE AND PUNCTUAL.
Description of Work: RUNNING NEW WIRING INTO MASTER BEDROOM THROUGH VERY SMALL CRAWL SPACE ATTIC FOR A JUNCTION FOR A CEILING FAN, PLUS ALL NEW WIRING IN LIVING ROOM FOR 4 SCONCES WHERE FINDING A WAY TO GET TO THE WALLS WAS VERY DIFFICULT (THIS WAS A TIGHT 4-LEVEL SPLIT ENTRY).
