Thank you for the positive review. I can see that you liked our work more than the price that we charged but I do want to clarify to Angie's List members that a free estimate was provided and approved before any work was scheduled or completed. Regards, Trim Electric Staff

Description of Work: Jason was the second electrical company representative who visited with me. The first was from John Moore. I knew I had a bad circuit breaker. The John Moore chap told me that I needed to replace the entire electrical box for a mere $3,000+. Jason looked at the same project and told me the box was fine and replacing the bad breaker was all that was needed. He was eminently professional, and just as important, on time for our scheduled appointment. Five years ago, Trim installed four ceiling fans in my house, and we were quite pleased with the outcome of that project. Highly recommend.

Description of Work: We had some wiring problems with 2 outlets, a 3 way switch and cable outlet that Michael and his assistant fixed. Michael also looked at a circuit breaker problem and gave us an estimate to repair. We will definately have Trim back to complete that repair.

Please see commentary above.
Description of Work: A GFCI power outlet in my backyard that I had never worked with got tripped. Trim Electric came out promptly and found the outlet, pushed the reset button, and proceeded to charge me $125 for the call. I understand a service call fee ($65) but the charge for 4 minutes work was ridiculous. I would have used Trim again in the future, but after this gouging, I'll find a more scrupulous vendor. I hope it was worth the $60 bucks you guys made. Poor judgement on your technician's part.

Response from Trim Electric Inc
We can understand the frustration you had with that experience. With that said I will tell you that our policy is to charge the service fee and for the first half hour of work which is $125.00. We have had clients that get upset with us if we solve a problem in 10 minutes, 15 minutes or even 20 minutes time... We are very proud of our electricians because we emphasize to them that our integrity is very important and none of our guys INVENT problems. What I mean by that is that you might have had another contractor come out to your home and tell you that it was an issue with a breaker in your panel and then charge you for a new breaker and for the time needed to install the breaker. (That scenario would have definitely cost you more) We have been in business since 1978 and occasionally take a hit from customers because of our efficiency and Integrity, but we prefer this than getting a reputation for not having integrity or scruples. Our electricians are all paid hourly and none are paid on a commission basis which usually makes the experience very pleasant for our clients. I hope that after the conversation you had with the president of our company you were satisfied with the Discount coupon we sent you in the mail. If you did not receive the coupon in the mail then please e-mail me Cesar@trimelectric.com and I will e-mail it to you instead. Sincerely, Cesar Arzayus - Marketing Manager For potential clients who are reading this response please take into consideration our substantially large number of positive Angie's List reviews and our A+ rating and Pinnacle award with the Better Business Bureau for 2012! The majority of our Angie's List customers have very positive things to say about our service and we look forward to serving you soon!
