Not at all. Banks removed my old M&S intercom system that had failed. I sent it to another company for repairs and when it was sent back, repaired, Banks refused to reinstall the unit. I am absolutely flabbergasted. Pretty unprofessional, I'd say.

Response from BANKS ELECTRIC INC
Mr [Member Name Removed], I do thank you for at least being more honest in the details unlike the last review on another site. We originally came out in 2015 to service a intercom system that was not working. We removed the unit and sent it off for repairs then reinstalled it. Mr. [Member Name Removed] even left a very nice review for what we have done. (See Below) In 2017 Mr. [Member Name Removed] called our office to come back out again as the unit had stopped working. He understood that this was beyond our control. We removed the unit again so that we could send off for repairs. The company who normally worked on these intercom systems for us we found to be out of business. We contacted M&S for another company who may be able to service and repair this intercom. We sent the intercom to them and they sent back with a note unable to repair due to replacement parts could not be found for this older unit. We called Mr. [Member Name Removed] around 12/13/2017 to inform him of what we have found. He decided to come pick the unit up from us. Our company has since stopped servicing intercoms of any type due to the high failure rate they have that is beyond our control. Not only do we not service intercoms we also no longer install new are retrofit systems due to the high failure rate. Mr. [Member Name Removed] contacted us yesterday 4/13/2017 and asked if we could install the intercom. He indicated that he had found somebody that would work on it and had made all the repairs. We explained to him that we no longer serviced intercoms. Mr [Member Name Removed] was never billed for the service call to take the intercom unit out of the house, nor was he charged for the shipping expenses to the repair facility.

Description of Work: Inspected the intercom. We had arranged for a full upgrade. Turns out that they recommended a repair of the existing system. Saved us nearly 1800.00. They are truly concerned about their customers.

I am most impressed with this company. I got a call shortly after sending a message. The electrician talked us through some things to try instead of having someone come out. He was most helpful and courteous. It worked. Even if that had not worked and they had to send someone, I would recommend this electrical company to anyone!!! They are a A+ organization.

They installed the electrical outlet as requested. The whole estimate and installation took less than 45 minutes. I was very pleased how straightforward the process and pricing was. I didn't expect them until Wednesday, but they showed up on Monday (they were here promptly at 8 am, however). The technician didn't talk much, but he got the job done! The only complaint (other than getting the day wrong) would be that I had to adjust the faceplates so they were straight after the job was complete.

I called to get a simple estimate on a property I manage in Mid-town. It says right on there on this page they do free estimates. When I called to simply set a time for an estimate, they started telling me no there is no "free" estimate because they might need to do work to figure out what is wrong. All I needed was a company to come a**** what was wrong and write an estimate. This company does not provide that service.

Response from BANKS ELECTRIC INC
Our company does give free estimates on all work including service calls. Our call log shows that you were upset because we could not schedule the estimate in the time frame you needed. You then told our dispatcher that you would just get someone else to do your work and just hung up on her. We do our best to schedule appointment to meet our Customers needs. Sincerely Banks Electric Inc.

Overall, the work was outstanding and very reasonably priced.
Description of Work: Replaced several chandeliers, serviced bathroom vent, including replacing motor, installed dimmers, etc. They confirmed the day before, came on time, and did the work in a professional manner. They also offered expert advice about how to deal with a chandelier that didn't work (it needed to be re-wired) and returned promptly when that work was done to hang the fixture.

I called Banks Electrical and the electrican came out. Got the GFI to reset, but as soon as I put a load on it, it tripped again. The electrican came back out, found the actual problem. He was professional and worked until he found the problem and fixed it. I would recommend the company for electrical work in the Memphis area.

Their work was okay. They did not do the work quite well. The switches that they installed didn?t work the way it should. They did a fine job with the alarm system for which they were here the last time.
