Horribly wrong.
Description of Work: We called Universal Home Services when our downstairs furnace would not work. I printed their coupon offering $49 dollars off on repairs. They charged me $59 dollars for the service call that would be deducted from the bill should any work be performed. They came to the house and stayed for 9 hours. We had been without heat for two days now. When they left, neither furnace was working. We were worse off than before they came. Now we had no heat at all. It was quite cold and we had to go to a hotel (with an elderly woman who was receiving treatment for stage 4 cancer. Even though our situation was worse, they wanted us to pay $200 for their visit. We declined. They agreed to come back Saturday morning for repairs. Nobody answered the office phone until after 1:00. We were then told that if a technician came out we would be charged $200 because it was a Saturday. We would also be charged $215 for them to install another circuit breaker. They were going to charge us almost $500 dollars just to return it to the condition it was in when they came. What we later found out was a simple repair (15 minutes and $150) was completely overlooked by Universal. So, we paid another electrician the $150 to repair the damage Universal had done to the first furnace. Universal left our second furnace disassembled after having unwired some of the components. Now we have another HVAC company coming to repair what Universal did to the second furnace. It was a complete nightmare. DO NOT EMPLOY THIS COMPANY. CROOKS.

Response from Universal Home Experts
Thank you for your feedback. And yes your current situation is horribly wrong. To add to the extreme picture you painted. You called us Friday morning for an electrical issue and said the furnace did not work. The electrician found voltage at the furnace that was not working. We sent an AC tech. He found that there was a bad circuit board ($150) and a very simple repair but that both furnaces were on one circuit and once he was able to get the blower to run it would trip the breaker and recommended the electrician come back. The electrician then gave you a bid to add a circuit or just replace the failed breaker You chose to do nothing.On Friday,at 8 pm in the evening, with an elderly person living in your home with stage 4 cancer, you chose to do nothing instead of fix your heat. You have 2 furnaces that are on one circuit. You continue to pay an unlicensed somebody to replace the breaker that eventually fails after it repeatedly trips when both units run simultaneously. This has very likely caused your furnace control failure as well. When we arrived at the first day you did not have heat. You refused to allow us to make a repair when we came out on Friday and that is why you did not have heat for two days during a cold weekend when we were flooded with no heat calls. What we are guilty of is informing you of your problem and then asking you to pay us to repair them. At this time we have made no repairs to your equipment. I am glad somebody was able to fix your heat.

Job 1: They were easy to work with, I was able to change the appointment three times, and they were very gracious. They arrived on time and were very helpful. I also had asked them to wire outside speakers for me and Ed suggested I work with another person who specializes in installing audio equipment and wiring. His referral was equally helpful and the work done was very satisfactory. I was pleased with both the original company and with the audio company. I will definitely use them again. Job 2: They were very helpful, referred me to another vendor to wire and supply my external speakers, and performed the work as described. They provided an estimate and stayed within it and their employees were very polite, helpful, and cleaned up completely. The manager handled quality control himself.
Description of Work: Job 1: They installed a photo cell and a door bell and they replaced the grounding wires for the house($750). Job 2: They did some minor work--rewiring a solar switch, door bell--and then replaced the electrical grounding system($600).

Alfredo was on time, very personable and friendly. He talked with me first about the price. Did an excellent job finding the problem without disrupting my house. Advised me how to be up to date with new regulations. I would definitely use and refer this company.
Description of Work: Did troubleshooting to find defective electrical outlet on 2 walls. Did a main breaker panel box checkup. Checked each outlet to find which one was causing the others not to work.

THE TECHNICIAN ARRIVED ON TIME. HE WAS POLITE AND ARRIVED IN A CLEARLY MARKED VAN AND UNIFORM. I HAD SAME DAY SERVICE. HE DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM, AND FIXED IT THE SAME DAY. I FEEL THE PRICE WAS REASONABLE, ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE A TWO YEAR WARRANTY.
Description of Work: I HAVE AN OLD HOUSE THAT HAD NOT HAD ELECTRICAL UPDATED IN A WHILE. SOME OUTLETS WERE NOT WORKING, AND WAS HAVING POWER SURGES. A TECHNICIAN FROM THE COMPANY CAME OVER AND DETERMINED THAT I NEEDED A NEW PANEL, AFTER DOING SOME DIAGNOSTIC TESTS. HE GAVE ME A FLAT RATE ESTIMATE. I HAD THE WORK PERFORMED THE VERY SAME DAY, AND HAVE BEEN VERY HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS.
