I tried to find breakers panel by myself and tried that one called Laundry. Was ok, but washer was not working, however it was working with extension cord. We called this company and we presumed it was a short, as I tried that breaker...it made sense they asked 160$ to fix it. However, the electrician found another breaker, called Laundry That he pushed in less than 2 minutes ... I was not seeing that one after 15 hours of driving with my special needs kid in the car!!! They charged me 160$ STILL , just for pushing a breaker!!! The owner is rude and in my opinion, instead of adjusting the price to just a service call, he charged me justifying the driving to my house! After they said they were, however, in the area, as they were working in Boone IA and we were in Ankeny!!! Just to have an idea who they are and how they are " serving " you.

He did exactly what was needed and made the cords going to the door openers secure. I'm sure it wasn't totally easy tying into an already existing complex set of conduits and boxes way up in the air - 15 feet high, but it looks like it was all done together, nothing patchy or cobbled in. I feel the price was right for the work done. He did exactly what was asked and even swapped out an extension cord I had elsewhere which was a bit too short for the job. He installed my cord and secured it perfectly.

I wish I could give zero stars…read more This company doesn't even deserve one. The technician who came out was strange and unprofessional from the start. I requested a diagnostic for a non-working outlet. He looked at it for about five seconds, tapped on his iPad, and handed me an estimate--for $630. He didn't check the breaker box, inspect the wiring, or go into the basement--nothing that even remotely resembled a proper diagnostic. When I expressed that the quote was outrageous and said I'd pay the $69 service fee for the visit, he replied, "I'll just mark it as a no-show so you don't get charged." That immediately raised red flags. I called the company afterward to explain what happened and reported that the technician did not perform a diagnostic at all--just gave an inflated estimate. I again offered to pay the service fee, even though the visit was a complete waste of time. They responded with indifference and told me "OK." Then, hours later, I receive a bill via email--despite the technician explicitly stating I wouldn't be charged and refusing to take my payment at the time of service. This was an incredibly shady experience. I would strongly caution anyone from using this company.
