This was the most uncomfortable experience of my life. There is nothing scarier and weirder than a…read moreman who will not take no for an answer. I was charged $2807 to replace 6 outlets. Incredibly overpriced in my opinion along with other electrician company I contacted. But honestly that wasn't the main issue. This was maybe the most annoying and oddest consultation of my life. From the very beginning I was being very clear that I only wanted my outlets replaced, nothing else. I reiterated this verbally in person. The technician, kept on trying to sell me a membership and additional services. I would say "I just want my outlets fixed" and then he would completely ignore me and go on to sell me about replacing the circuits. This happened over and over again. I would say "please I don't want this service" and then he would just go right back to other services. I actually couldn't believe what was happening. I was incredibly uncomfortable the entire time. For the 4th time, I was again very direct in not wanting any additional work. I literally said "I do not care for anything but the outlets". But he just didn't care and kept going for 15 minutes about working on my panel. Like oh my god, what is happening. It was additionally rude when I told him I was on a time crunch but then he still spent 30-40 mins creating an additional 4 quotes for the work that I insisted I didn't want. They straight up did not care about me and what I wanted. He kept saying I'm the top priority while also completely disregarding what I do not want. If a customer tells you to stop, please stop. I was incredibly upfront with the services that I wanted but this guy was on a mission to charge me $9356. I ultimately didn't continue with this company and reached out to another one who did the work for $300, which was the quote I also received from other electricians in the area. I truly do not know how they justify charging $2807 for only 6 outlets. Listen to the other reviewers. I had the same experience of the worker just looking for upgrades rather than what I called for. He spent nearly 20 minutes analyzing my electrical panels to see where he can charge me additional services after I just told him I only want the outlets. Stop trying to phrase this is for your customers when you blatantly ignore their needs and wants. This was such a weird experience and I lost $89 for the dispatch fee.

I contacted Chesapeake Electric after the outlets and switches on one circuit in my home stopped…read moreworking. The technicians arrived as scheduled, acted professionally, and explained that the outlets on the circuit had not been pigtailed when the home was originally wired. They identified separated wiring and signs of overheating in some locations, including burned drywall behind certain outlet covers. I initially paid an $85 service fee and then more than $500 for a more extensive assessment. After that assessment, I was given an estimate exceeding $2,500 to address approximately 10 outlets and switches on the circuit. I was told that the entire circuit needed to be corrected and that they could not determine which individual outlets were causing the problem. When I asked whether only the damaged locations could be repaired, I was told that was not an option. After I paid a deposit toward the proposed work, the technicians disconnected and capped three affected outlets and restored power to the remainder of the circuit. This raised questions for me about why the entire circuit had initially been presented as needing immediate repair. When I asked about repairing only those three locations, I was quoted more than $500 per location. Whole-home premium surge protection and service-plan memberships were also recommended. By coincidence, another electrician was working at a neighboring home that day. He identified himself as a master electrician, inspected the issue, and gave me a different professional opinion. He told me that the entire circuit did not need to be replaced. In his assessment, the three affected locations needed repair and the remaining outlets on the circuit could be pigtailed. He estimated approximately $700 for the work. I then contacted Chesapeake Electric's office and asked to cancel the deposit. The manager listened to my concerns, spoke with the technicians, and called me back. He explained the company's reasoning and said the broader electrical work could be beneficial if the home were inspected in the future. However, that explanation did not resolve my concerns about the difference in the proposed scope and pricing. I also received appointment and follow-up text messages from someone identifying himself as "Mike." Based on the wording and interaction, the messages appeared to be generated through an automated or artificial-intelligence service. However, the messages did not disclose that I might be communicating with AI rather than a real employee. I found that confusing and uncomfortable. In my opinion, customers should be clearly informed when appointment scheduling or follow-up communications are being handled by an automated AI system. Although the technicians were courteous and professional while at my home, I was not comfortable proceeding after receiving such a substantially different assessment and estimate from another electrician. Based on my experience, I strongly recommend obtaining at least one independent second opinion before approving costly electrical work, memberships, or additional services.

I found Brian because my neighbor used him to re-wire an outlet for their oven and they thought he did great work and was reasonably priced. He came the day after I contacted him, measured, cut and installed a piece of wood which he secured to joists in the ceiling with a brand new light box. The light is flesh against the ceiling now and very secure. Brian was also great to text regarding the issue before even hiring. He explained what was happening and possible resolutions I could try, but ultimately the drywall was breaking and I didn't want to risk further damage. The work itself took over an hour to complete and it cost less than $200. I won't ever have to worry about the stability of my light box should I choose to change it in the future. Moonlight Electrical, Brian, will be my go-to in all future electrical work.

Despite it being late in the day and close to the time when he was supposed to show up, he was still courteous and polite and explained that, if the problems were to occur again, to simply call back to reschedule.

The neighbor told me he got his installed by HavePower and so I reached out to them along with a handful of other companies. After several email correspondences, I eventually decided to go with HavePower. Although it was not a simple process to get the HOA's approval, Jason was extremely patient and helpful in getting all of the paperwork for the approval. I myself was not present during the installation, but my parents were around to observe the whole process. The installation started at 6am and finished around 5pm. According to them, HavePower did an amazing job and my parents found them reliable. The end product is exactly what we were hoping for, and the charger works flawlessly. My parents couldn't be any happier! All in all, I highly recommend HavePower for EV charger installations. Even if you live at a place without a garage, HavePower will do a impeccable job. And if you do have a garage, I'm sure they will get it done even more quickly!
