If your Home Warranty service assigns this company for electrical work, beware! Take a look at the other, recent one star reviews - I'm now another unhappy and angry customer.
Edit - 2/27, in response to the owner's comment below.
I disagree with your version of the facts - for instance, I said that I was happy for you to reschedule after talking with the technician when he was back in the office. I got no response to that except "I don't know what to tell you."
I do apologize for continuing to try to talk with your dispatcher when she refused to listen to anything I had to say. I was angry, and so was she. I asked to speak with you, and she refused. Still, there's no excuse, and I'm sorry I lost my cool.
You say how disappointing it is to see reviews like this!
I think you should ask yourself why you see the same types of complaints and one star reviews going back for years. You might think it's normal for any business, but I can assure you that it isn't. Here are a few that are repeated over and over by different customers:
- You don't answer calls, or return calls after multiple voicemails.
- The woman on the phone has an attitude, and/or hangs up on the customer.
- There's a discrepancy between what the technician tells the customer, or what the customer understands, and what ends up in AHS records.
- You don't follow up on existing issues that require a return visit.
Your technician was great. I would hope that your customer service can also maintain a professional, friendly, and problem-solving approach.
I'm also in business, and customer service is a critical factor in long-term success. This means listening carefully to your customers, and taking their feedback seriously. I hope you take this feedback in a positive way.
I think all of those points above can be solved, and I'm happy to talk with you further. Feel free to give me a call.

--- original review
My problem is not with the initial technical work, which was fine. My problem is with JC Electric's awful communication and customer service. Massive fail on their part.
Summary: JC Electric didn't return multiple calls. When a return visit was set up, the technician had no idea what he was coming for. The documentation from the first visit was incomplete. The dispatcher insisted that since my issue wasn't on the work order, they had no responsibility. At no point did the dispatcher even hint at a positive resolution.
Here's the long story, which you don't need to read. In short, to paraphrase another 1 star review, avoid JC Electric and save yourself the aggravation, at least until they clean up their act.
-- more detail below
We needed to have someone return to reinstall a switch that the initial tech didn't have at the time - he suggested that I call the following day, during business hours, which I did. No answer, so I left a voicemail. I left many voicemails over the next few weeks, with no response.
When the second technician arrived, no one had communicated the issue with him, so he didn't have the part either. He called his dispatcher, and this is where things went south.
Rather than trying to understand and resolve the problem, she implied that I was the problem. She basically stuck to these two points.
1. It's not on the work order.
2. JC Electric never got any voicemails from me.
When I insisted that she respond to my concerns, all of which had been ignored, she, told me that the technician is leaving and will not return. She said that I would have to contact AHS and request another provider. We were both angry, and things got worse from there.
I called AHS, who promised to resolve the issue at no additional charge to me (which is the right thing to do - thanks, AHS!). I did ask them to look into the pattern of customer complaints, and save future AHS customers from headaches like this. read more
