MELTON ELECTRIC

When i got a quote they were able to tell me i would need the subpanel and i would need to add smoke detectors for the total work to pass inspection. Good work, nice clean workers. Office staff contacted me about the inspection and got it scheduled so I wouldn't have to call the town myself.

They were very professional and did a very good job. I had reservations because of the two negative reviews in Angie's List. But I had been referred by a friend to this company. I don't know about the bad experiences noted but my experience was very good and would not hesitate to call them again. I had a previous electrician do work in my house that I would grade a AAA, yet when I called them for this job, they did not return my phone calls. It was noted they were very busy right now. And my guess is perhaps the job was too small for them to be bothered. The company who did this job today also mentioned that no job is too small and that also meant a lot to me, especially after waiting a month on my previous electrician.

It all went very well.

My mother in-law had no success in getting the electrical service completed in her new home. They stopped answering my mother in-law's calls. In an attempt to help, I called Melton Electric myself and they promised that they would send someone to do the work, but nothing would happen. Melton Electric collected several thousands of dollars at about the time the worked stopped. My mother in-law had to hire someone else. Unfortunately, we discovered the incomplete work by Melton did not pass code. Much of it had to be removed and reworked. It is safe to say, I would not recommend their services. It's the classic case of a contractor leaving their customers and taking their money.

The majority of installation was OK, however, Melton failed to properly connect the ground wires for generator box & electrical panel. As a result the electrical installation failed the required inspection as his installation did not meet town codes. It would have been a matter of less than an hour's work to re-do the ground wires, but Mr. Melton put off returning for the repair for over two months, and never did return to complete the work. Zenner and Ritter finally had to send out an electrician from a different company at the end of January 2015 to correct the problem. An installation and inspection that should have taken a few days dragged on for nearly four months by the time the final Town of Lewiston inspection was completed.
