Mr. Electric should be your last choice for an electrician in the Columbia area. I had a bad…read morebreaker and and called to get a quote. They won't give you a quote. Instead they say they will need to come out and will provide you a quote. BUT They can come out same day (this should have been my first red flag). The electrician comes out and I ask for a quote to replace the breaker the electrician proceeds to spend an hour testing random things in the house and claims it is all included in the service. I remind them I just want my breaker changed and I want a quote for that. Nothing else. They say this is all apart of the service, they take ownership of what they touch and they are touching everything so you're covered and continually make it sound like they are doing you a favor. At the end they add all sorts of random things ( like a attic fee) and say but we won't charge you for all this, all you will pay is $487!!!! $487 for what most electricians get done for under $300. If you don't use the quote you get charged for the time they were there doing the "complimentary" assessment of your electrical system. What was complimentary is no longer complimentary and they have all these added fees like the attic fee. Keep in mind I am getting a breaker changed, why they went into the attic I have no clue. So they say pay this crazy amount and get what you called for done or pay an equally obscene inspection fee for something that was repeatedly called "complimentary" and not what was asked for. Work is performed and the cover of the electrical panel is installed incorrectly. ( the breakers were not snug and the cover was covering the breaker for about 2 inches over where it should have been creating additional pressure on the breakers themselves) I called to have this corrected as the cover should be installed as it was prior to service. This leads to the breakers wiggling and not being as it was before service. I call to make an appointment for correcting this issue with the electrician and have it scheduled. The appointment day comes and goes with no one showing up. I call and schedule a second time. This time the original electrician shows up and beats on the electrical box. I kid you not I hear this man banging on the box to get it set right instead of taking off the cover and putting it back as it should be he bangs on it loud enough to hear through the whole house. I'm pretty upset by this as in all my time dealing with electricians hitting it hard multiple times has never happened. He ends up unscrewing the panel and replacing as it should after beating it doesn't work. The breakers are now extremely loose from the pressure bing put on them from the incorrectly installed panel and the banging on the panel. He starts saying that's the manufacturers problem and not his. Even though they were snug before he touched them and no one has touched them since. The whole time he takes no responsibility for banging on the panel or the incorrect reinstallation of the panel cover that are two possibilities as to why these are not performing as they did before Mr. Electrics service. At the beginning the selling point was all about taking ownership of everything they touch, now they aren't taking ownership of the problem they caused and even tried to blame missing the appointment on the dispatcher ( I made the appointment directly with the electrician, the dispatcher says that he called in sick that day). I see the conversation going nowhere and realize I am going to have to hire another electrician to come and fix this issue so I thank the electrician for his time, tell him that we are at an impasse, I do not feel that he is taking ownership of the problems he is causing and ask him to leave before more damage is done. This leads to him telling me I am Unprofessional while he is the one being unprofessional which is par for the course at this point. I kindly repeat my request for him to leave my home and he finally did. I will never recommend this service because of the gaslighting this company does. They use manipulation to get you into paying way more than you should for a simple repair and then gaslight you about the issues they cause because you aren't a professional electrician. Insanely bad service, insanely overpriced, and when you have to hire another electrician to look over their work you pay again. Go with another company or you'll end up paying for the repair and then needing to pay to get the "repairs" fixed. Gaslighting, condescending tones, and fake promises from a service company isn't what you need to complicate your already complicated life. Guess now I know why they were immediately available when the electricians I know to be reputable were a week or two out.

I had an appointment with Midway for a simple lighting issue. My husband made the appointment and…read morechose the second appointment of the day, because 7:30 am (first appointment) is the time we are trying to get our daughter out the door. He was told someone would arrive "around 9 am." I took off from work for the appointment. My husband also told the office it would be me there, and gave them my phone number. Well guess what? They promptly lost my phone number, and after multiple calls to the office I am finally told around 9:45 that the electrician can't get to me until "around 11" or maybe even later. I told them I can't wait around that long and cancelled. I could have done the job myself in the time I was waiting but (silly me) I wanted a professional to make sure it was done right. It never occurred to me that said professional would be so unprofessional with my time. If you, like me, expect that "around 9" doesn't mean 11 or later, and you expect a company to be able to keep track of two phone numbers, don't use Midway. Advice to the company: don't lose phone numbers, and if you can't stick to appointment times, then give windows like those awful cable companies do (e.g. between 9 and noon). Then I would have known up front that you can't respect my time and chosen another company that can. Saying "around 9" when you mean "between 9 and noon" is just even more disrespectful than being up front about it.
