Electrika

In 2009, we needed to have one dedicated plug-outlet installed for our chest freezer and one 7' baseboard heater installed in the basement of our new house and called Electrika after hearing their ads on the radio. We were given an estimate that we agreed upon and their man came to do the work. The resulting work was horrible. They tore huge gaping holes into our wall to find the connecting electrical wires instead of fishing neatly for them through a measured hole and the baseboard heater fell off the wall after only a few days. When we called them back to fix the baseboard heater that we were afraid to touch now that it was connected to actual electricity, their man mumbled and complained the whole time saying it's something we did to make it fall off as though we were stupid enough to play with electricity.

After his work was done, we were forced to hire a handyman to repair the damage done to our gyproc wall and baseboards, an expense we had not anticipated.

We actually did have experience to compare them to as we had hired an electrical company called Fred Electric in the late 90's to install a new electrical panel and convert our whole first house from natural gas to electricity. Fred's work was so professional and immaculate that we didn't have one single gyproc repair to make after he was finished. We wholeheartedly recommend him. The only reason we weren't able to hire Fred the second time around was because he was fully booked when we needed him in 2009 so we decided to give Electrika a try, a decision we regret to this day.

$550 to replace a broken doorbell? Watch out these guys will try and rob you blind. Electrician is not upfront and clear about pricing until after job is done. Do not recommend - find another company.
