I am at this time working on a case against this company and the 3rd party people that did an inspection after this company performed the work as the 3rd party inspection people passed it without doing the inspection on almost 2 occasions. I approached the 3rd party people the second time and warned them they did me wrong. I have many pictures and some videos from start to finish. I will exercise my rights and proceed against both until this gets resolved. This company and 3rd party put my family in jeopardy and if it was not for National Grid failing the work performed this could have been a bad situation. Do not use as your family could be in danger because of the quality of work he performs. Just look at the picture and clearly he does not know what he is doing and I have many more to offer and video film.

The kitchen work was fine. In the bedroom the new fan was a Craftmade with a universal remote,the installer did not program the new remote to work with receiver in the light. The Minka fan which was being replace came with a factory installled remote reciver and its' own hand remote. I called he came again and told me I did not know how to use the remote and it was just find and charged me an additional &75.00. After this the company rep for Craftmade came as well as the electrilcal person from the lighting store I purcahsed it from. They told me there was no way a Minka remote could control a univeral receiver and I was lucky he had not burned out the receiver, they took down the fan found the instructins on the receiver to program the remote and it now works like a charm. Called Slingerland Electric to tell them this and ask for the $75 back as the second visit did not solve the problem. I was told on FEb. 2 he would have the money dropped off, as of March 1st I have not seen it even after several phone calls, two of which I received no response from. Would not use again,

It took a while to connect and schedule a time. When I scheduled the work we talked extensively about the job: new outside electric outlet. When the electrician came, he was surprised to hear it was a new outlet; he thought it was a repair. He went ahead and started the work then left for an hour to purchase the materials. He was quiet, neat, professional, cleaned up behind himself,quick. I was a bit surprised to have a $55 bill for materials when the Deal was for Installation of an Outside Electric Outlet.

. Was here for approximately one hour and spent a majority of the time on the phone discussing what work he could actually do since it was an Angie's list deal of $99.00 for 2 hours of service. I wanted him to look at the hanging fluorescent light in the family room which did not work. He took it down and said the bulbs were the wrong model. And the lamp was a cheap model. I agreed for him to come back for the second of the two hours with a better light and I would pay the difference I had asked for a new outlet in the garage, he said he could do it the following week when he came back to do the light. No one ever came back or called. I had the work done by someone else.
Description of Work: Replaced one light switch No other work was completed, although there were a few other jobs.

Response from Slingerland Electric
Thanks so much for the negative review. Awesome doing work for people that never seem to remember after they are told, they have to call and schedule another time for work, since they didn'y read the fine print and have all material present as they were supposed to accoding to the Angies List contact they signed when they paid for service.... Gets old telling customers that we are not supposed to buy any material this is only a $99.00 deal for 2 hours only NO MATERIAL AT ALL INCLUDED.. Also does not allow for any travel time. We here at Slingerland Electric have been in business since 1991, i personally know all my customers, but due to this kind of BS reviews i want nothing to do with Dragging my familys name down the tubes due to certain people not reading fine print... We always guarantee all work and would of fixed anything.. All it takes is a call.. I know for a fact that Bob was on the phone with me and told you to call and reschedule when it was good for you.. I know he also told you we do not buy fixtures or stock them in our vechile.. And last thing he was there for 1.5 hours, he calls it in when he arrives and call when he leaves. So if you looking for a refund i will gladly give you the 50... Also and in ending this bs review.. So everyone knows you can only get a refund if you write a bad review!!! thats is a fact, so for all you that need free work done or wanna complain just to get your money back, we gladly due charity work so before you call Angie and complain call us ..We always honor our work, and stand by it 100%. Life is way to short to deal with negative people or negative reviews, if you want to know anything about what we do or how we do it just call, my numbers are always there for everyone.. work 518-370-2207, or cell 518-935-0164 Thanks Jim

Originally purchased a special ($99 for two hours labor), plus parts. They were willing to come now, in December, even though I told them I could wait until Spring (outdoor work, and unheated attic). They cheerfully came anyway, thanks! Showed up punctually, Bob knew exactly what he was doing, finished in 1 hour, 55 minutes. Since he had done so well on that, I asked him to perform an additional task, for an additional charge, of course. Although that wasn't on the agenda for today, he accommodated me with no hesitation. So far, everything seems to be working great.

the serviceman called prior to coming and was prompt. He had the equipment, knowledge, and parts on hand to evaluate and replace the faulty pieces. He had them both fixed within the timeframe and explained to me what was wrong. I am very satisfied with the work.
Description of Work: I called and told them I had an electric light switch where the light was sometimes delayed in coming on. Also, I had a broken switch plate outside that needed replacing.

I had bought the $99 special for 2 hours of labor. I wanted to replace the switch and outlets as mentioned above, as well as install 3 additional outlets in the same room. It took 2-3 emails to finally contact the provider to arrange a time to have the work done. No one showed up at the scheduled time, so I rescheduled for a week later. Again no one showed up. Made arrangements for a third time, when the electrician finally showed up. He replaced the existing outlets and switch (I had a short in the wiring which he fixed) but did not bring any wiring with him to install the additional outlets. He also ran out of time to do that, as he spent a lot of time bragging about himself. When he left, he told me he could do the additional work another time, and gave me HIS PERSONAL business card (not the company he was working for at the time).

Response from Slingerland Electric
Very sorry for what happened, as a Business owner we hire people who don't always work out with a company setting. I wish you could of let me know of this before going public with a bad review. But than again i guess i would be MAD to if i received 3.5 hours of Electrical work and $25 in material for $99.00 also. And than complain about it here so that you can get a refund. I surly do not need customers like you! My true customers appreciate the great service they all get and appreciate the very fair price i give for the work they get. I always offer money back, if you were so un- pleased as you said, i have never had one call back from you. FUNNY how only the customers that complain get noticed and request something for free, where the hard working cutomers who appreciate Quaility work at a resonable rate are always the best and never complain.. Thanks again to all the loyal Customers out there, and well for the ones only looking for free work.. We offer that as well to the Churches, and customers that really need it. Ols saying if you have nothing nice to say than keep it to yourself, if you want to share negative reviews and slander someones business, WELL THAN, call first and complain because we would oif fixed it or done it for free if you werent 100 % SATISIFIED......

I am trying to get some exterior electrical outlets installed and decided since Slingerland Electric always appears on your deals of the day I would give them a try. I sent a message via the Angies list message system on 31 July and still have not received a response. Approximately 10 days ago I decided to message them via their company website and have not received a response either. I understand that I am not looking for a huge job but when your deal mentions outside boxes for a certain price or work performed for 2 hours for a certain price a response from the vendor would be appreciated.

This turned out good. He changed an overhead light that a couple of other people have tried to do. The light had some water damaged and was stuck onto the ceiling. He had to work on it awhile. He did a great job and replaced it with a new overhead light. I was very pleased with that job.When he called about the scope of work, he asked me to go pick out a light fixture that I wanted, which was good. The switch for the overhead light wasn't working after the light was installed, but he did have the correct switch in his truck and he didn't charge me for it. He also changed an outlet that was old and loose. I am very happy with his electrical work and I would really recommend him! He was very friendly and professional. He was here about an hour and a half.

We needed the fan connected as part of the contingency for selling our house. I instructed Jim that the fan needed to be connected and that if he needed me for any reason, please give me a call as I work only 5 minutes from the house. The fan was connected, but it was never checked to see if it was working properly. The reason he gave was that the switch was in the apartment and he did not have access to the apartment. I personally did not know the switch was in the apartment, but had he called me as I requested, I would have immediately gone to the house and gave him access. He left me no paperwork regarding the fan so I couldn't even be sure it was done, but I had assumed it was. I didn't know how to turn on the fan, and when the buyers came for a walk thru I was unable to show that the fan worked. When I called Jim, he gave me the necessary details, and I checked the fan and it worked fine. Over all I think his is a reliable company and I would probably use him again. He is easy to get in touch with and his prices are reasonable and he appears knowledgeable. If it wasn't for this one incident, I would probably have rated him higher.

Thanks so much for the review.. First off you forgot to mention the FREE G.F.C.I you were given seeming you didn't have any material when we arrived there. Second off .... We came back for free to wire a fan that you had installed, and had no idea why it didnt work. we don't live at your house we are not allowed to rome all over a rental unit without giving notice to your rentors Who had no idea we were there when we knocked on the door. We did the best we could without you being there even though you were given a time that we would be there. I was also on site with one of my workers, to look at your stove outlet for FREE. Which i never charged you for.And on top of it all i went out of my way to send you over a emailed bill for your closing the same night. NOW THATS SERVICE... So sorry for anyone that reads this, BUT here at Slingerland Electric we will always go out of are way for our customers even when we receive A BOGUS REVIEW!!! Thanks again...Jim 518-935-0164..
