This review is for Focus Electric, which is part of Focus Plumbing or a sister company. For some reason Focus Electric is not listed on Yelp, even though it is listed on Google, so this review is specific to Focus Electric. The builder of my home, Woodside Homes, used Focus Electric to install the electrical systems. Woodside had Focus provide a Ring Doorbell unit. The first unit, despite being a premium version, failed within months. I told Focus about it and they came out, determined that the unit had indeed failed, and replaced it with a new one. Once the new unit was installed, the technician asked if he could come inside to set it up (you don't need to come inside to set it up). I told him not to worry and that I would take care of set up as I am perfectly capable and I didn't want to waste his time. He said okay and left.
A couple months later the new unit failed again. I called to ask that they come and fix it, but they told me I was out of warranty. I explained that the new unit was clearly within the manufacturer warranty as only a few months has passed, and that the issue is with the unit itself. They then said that they won't help because, as they incorrectly claimed, I didn't allow the technician to do the set up on the latest device, to which I explained that I simply opted to do the set up myself to save the technician time and I was never told that doing the set up myself would in anyway prevent them from being able to service the device in future. I then told them that this is a really bad way to treat their customers and that I would be expressing my opinion online about their company.
I then got a call back shortly after saying they have decided to help me and service my camera, so I said okay great, when can you come. Well, they insisted that someone is home when they come and I was no longer living in the home at the time and was in the process of finding tenants to rent it out to. So they told me to let them know when I have a tenant living there. Fast forward a couple months, I now have a tenant living there, and I contact Focus to make a new appointment, they offer me a date about 8 days in the future and tell me to make sure the tentant is home between 8am and 12pm. I notified my tenant. Well today they never showed up and never contacted us. I had to call them myself, and they told me that they had cancelled the appointment because something about them having contacted the builder and the builder saying they wouldn't cover it or something like that. But then they again reiterated (incorrectly) the whole thing about how they believed that I didn't allow the technician to set up the most recent unit that failed. I again, explained that I was never told that was an issue and I was simply trying to save the technician time from doing something routine that literally anyone who knows how to follow instructions can do. The issue here was with the unit, they could have come out to confirm that, but instead they made up excuses to wash their hands of the issue. The worst part is that they made my tentant wait around for them for 4 hours for no reason and backtracked on their commitment to make things right.
Absolutely terrible company, avoid them. read more
