Disappointed.
Description of Work: Called to get an estimate for a electrical panel replacement/upgrade. Bit of a runaround in that there was going to be charge for providing an estimate. When I balked, they provided a "rough" estimate with no interest in looking at the project and providing a firm quote or recommended approach.

Response from NEI Electric
Mr [Member Name Removed], I would like to apologize for not giving the response that you were hoping for. For projects that have a typically predictable cost, we try to give verbal estimates to lessen the volume of driving our electricians do on a regular basis and prevent what can turn into a large amount of time they accumulate without pay. That being said, if you would still like us to come out and gather information for an official written estimate, we can absolutely do so. Please call me if you would like to set this up. -651-287-3121

ELECTRICIAN WAS VERY PUNCTUAL AND WAS ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH TASKS IN LESS TIME THAN THE ESTIMATE. HE WAS QUITE KNOWLEDGEABLE. I HAD A MUCH BETTER EXPERIENCE WITH THIS ELECTRICAL COMPANY THAN THE PREVIOUS TWO THAT I HAD USED. MY ONLY COMPLAINT, AND IT IS MINOR, IS THAT AFTER CALLING FOR AN ESTIMATE, THE OFFICE WAS SUPPOSE TO CALL ME THE NEXT DAY TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. THEY NEVER DID SO, I HAD TO CALL BACK. THEY FOUND MY FOLDER IMMEDIATELY, AND THE ELECTRICIAN WAS SENT OUT TO MY HOUSE WITHIN THREE DAYS OF MY SECOND CALL.
Description of Work: CHANGED OUT ONE LIGHT SWITCH, TWO OVERHEAD LIGHT FIXTURES, AND A GFI OUTLET. ALSO, CHANGED CONTROL SWITCH FOR CEILING FAN, AND ELIMINATED BUZZING NOISE.

INQUIRE ABOUT RATES, THEY 'ROUND UP' TO AN HOUR IF A PARTIAL HOUR IS USED. OUR ADVICE IS TO HAVE SOME SMALLER PROJECTS READY TO FILL THAT LAST PORTION OF AN HOUR, AND KEEP THEM GOING UNTIL THE HOUR IS UP. [WE WERE CHARGED FOR 45 MINUTES OF UNUSED TIME BECAUSE HE FINISHED AT 15 MINUTES AFTER THE HOUR].
Description of Work: FIXED LIGHT SWITCH, INSTALLED TWO ELECTRICAL OUTLETS AND SWITCHES IN BASEMENT & INSPECTED THE STATE OF CURRENT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN A HOUSE BUILT IN 1940 [NO CODE INSPECTION WAS REQUIRED FOR THE SELLER OF OUR NEWLY PURCHASED HOME].

I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE CUSTOMER-FRIENDLY ATTITUDE OF THIS COMPANY. WHEN I CALLED I WAS TOLD ABOUT HOW LONG THE JOB WOULD TAKE AND HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST. AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED FOR THE NEXT MORNING. THE ELECTRICIAN CAME WHEN EXPECTED. HE DID THE WORK NEATLY AND WITHIN THE TIME AND COST ESTIMATES I'D BEEN GIVEN. HE EVEN GOOD-NATUREDLY ALLOWED OUR FRIENDLY DOG TO TAG ALONG AND 'SUPERVISE!'

I HAD A LIST OF PROJECTS (MY WISH LIST AFTER 10 YEARS IN MY HOUSE), AND WADE WENT DOWN THE LIST FROM TOP TO BOTTOM CHECKING THEM OFF AS HE WENT ALONG. I HAD MOST OF THE SUPPLIES ON HAND, WHICH HE SAID SAVED A LOT OF MONEY OVER HAVING THE COMPANY SUPPLY THEM.
