Description of Work: The electrician came on time and was professional and experienced. It cost more than it should - the "deal" seemed more of a "sham" or bait & switch in my opinion. It was unclear how the money I spent on the Deal was applied to the total amount charged.

We feel terrible on how you feel about the cost and the deal. We do not want our customer's to feel this way and may remove the deal and savings of $101 as it is difficult to actually save that kind of money for our customers and stay profitable, while at the same time getting a negative response regarding it. I do encourage customers to take advantage of it while it is still available. Sean Murphy Murphy Family Electric 855-I-NEED-MURPHY 855-463-3368 ‘Your Family’s Electrician’

Description of Work: I had a deal for a breaker box labeling and whole house inspection. The service guy was nice enough, but I didn't really feel like we got much for our money. The guy wrote out a list of the breakers, but didn't label the box. There was no write up about the inspection or recommendations about what we should do, just verbal feedback. Also, when it came time to pay, there was some confusion. The tech tried to charge me the normal rate minus the cost of the coupon. When I told him that wasn't how it works, he said that is what they always do. I did eventually get it worked out, but it seemed very sketchy to try and charge full price.

We stopped offering inspection deals almost a year ago because there is a lot of confusion on what is offered and often times the customer expected a lot more than what was offered such as troubleshooting and repairing and labor not included. We do apologize and I would like to go over this service we performed with you. Sean Murphy Murphy Family Electric 855-I-NEED-MURPHY 855-463-3368 ‘Your Family’s Electrician’

Please be aware, you need to call the main office for a quote for additional work and to schedule. The technicians are simply performing the work. They let us know when customers have more work, but we need our customers to be proactive about getting additional work performed and call us because we do all estimating and scheduling through our main office and we answer and return all calls and messages regular hours throughout the week. We called you and left a message about this, please call us back. Thank you. Sean Murphy Murphy Family Electric 855-I-NEED-MURPHY 855-463-3368 ‘Your Family’s Electrician’

Description of Work: Work: Installation of an electric vehicle charging station at our house on a new dedicated circuit. The electrician arrived more than an hour-and-a-half after the end of the time span I was given, and didn't understand what he was expected to do when he arrived. I had explained when I booked the service that putting the electric line through the wall of the brick house would be necessary, but the electrician didn't arrive with the tools to do that. After spending about 10 minutes at our house, he left for more than an hour to buy a hammer drill at Home Depot. When he did the work, it appeared to be well done, but only took about 1 1/2 hours. $995 seems awfully expensive for that much work. I think I bought the company an expensive hammer drill.

Response from Murphy Family Electric
Sadly, we haven't had one happy customer with an electric car yet. The main problem is they don't realize the material cost of for an electric car hookup, the requisite heavy copper wire and the double pole breaker, which took up the majority of what was paid for the job. The hammer drill has nothing to do with the cost of the job other than our last one was stolen and he simply had to purchase another one. You did not purchase this, you were provided a price upfront, prior to coming to the job, and the price was fair. The other grades seem to be based on the customers sentiment on price. We do not have a record of the tech being significantly late that day. Value also must be placed on the special knowledge to be able to make such an installation, not the amount of time for the install. We are deliberating as to whether to continue to offer this service as it seems such customers don't understand what is involved and are difficult to please.

Description of Work: I had a contractor in my home to replace some drywall, the contractor blew a fuse in a section of the house. He said he tried to reset the breaker, but it would not reset. The contractor had his electrician come in to check everything out. His electrician got the lights back on and reported that at least two of the breakers had weak springs making it difficult for them to switch back to the on position. He said there was no problem with the wiring inside the wall, just needed some maintenance on the breaker panel. | |I felt it prudent to get a second opinion and found a Daily Deal Coupon on Angie's List. I selected Murphy Family Electric. I was given a two-hour window between 8am - 10am for service on the agreed upon date. Victor called around 9am to say he was coming from northern Virginia and expected to reach my home about 10am. He arrived about 10:15am, but had called again to let me know his status. So although he was a little late, he effectively communicated with me the entire time. Victor came in and checked the electrical panel. He reported that all the breakers checked out okay. He looked at the wall outlet where the drywall was replaced and found a small nick in the wiring, likely where the contractor's drywall knife touched the wiring that caused the lights to short out in the first place. Victor easily repaired this, avoiding a possible problem later. I also had Victor check out another wall socket that mysteriously stopped working after a kitchen renovation several years earlier. | |I was very satisfied with Victor's professionalism and eagerness to explain each step of what his was doing and why, what he found and how he would resolve the issue. Every homeowner knows how important it is to have a good plumber and good electrician. I've had an excellent plumber for over 20 years. Now I am happy to count Murphy Family Electric as that good electrician I have been seeking. | |The service was completed within the time frame provided under the coupon. I came away with peace of mind that the electrical issue was resolved without additional expense.
