R M Smith Electric

UPDATE: I am now engaging in a lawsuit with this company due to their unethical behavior and the…read morefact that they voided the warranty on 3 of the 4 AC units they hooked up. They tried to lie and say they din't start up the units. Good thing I'm a big believer in video security and had video of them starting 2 of them. Original Review: Where do I start? First, the "electricians" that they sent were not very competent. Had to come back to fix stupid mistakes that they had made. They didn't follow my instructions and hung all of our hanging circuits in one corner of the warehouse...which kind of defeats the purpose of hanging circuits. That mistake cost about $5,000, which they are not fixing. So I now have 16 circuits hanging in one corner of the warehouse instead of 16 circuits hanging in rows down the length of the warehouse. Second, and this is where things really get insanely stupid, they phased 3 of our 4 air conditioners backwards. This caused the compressors to run backwards, both voiding the warranty and damaging the compressors to some degree, ensuring early failure. Again, no remuneration here. Before I tell you how much all this cost, let me tell you about how I asked multiple times for the office to call me with an estimate, and once the work had begun, an approximate daily charge for labor. Nobody ever called. This part is my own fault for not seeing through the scam when nobody would tell me how much this would "cost", but I was busy moving my business and wrongfully put my trust in these idiots. So, our grand tally to hang 16 circuits in the wrong place, hook up 3/4 of our $10,000 air conditioners backwards, and install about 8 more circuits (incorrectly) was over $13,000! More than twice the amount I was quoted by 2 other companies that just couldn't start as quick as I needed. Looking back, I should have known that an electrician who can start at a moment's notice probably isn't a very good one. They are probably about to go out of business and needed to pull a good scam on someone to keep the lights on. At this point, I am considering filing a civil suit against this company and subpoenaing all of their receipts for job materials/etc to see just how dishonest they really are. I am also pulling video from the warehouse's security system to see how many hours I actually should have been charged for, which thankfully has long term digital storage. I suppose I don't have to say at this point that nobody should ever use this company for anything. I'll be monitoring their review pages across multiple platforms with a service I use for my own company, as I have a feeling they're going to try and use another address to escape their earned reputation of being a horrible company to work with. All of the statements made in this review should be considered only my personal opinion, and not a professional evaluation of the company. All statements made are from my memory, and could be (but in my opinion are not) inconsistent with actual facts in some areas. I'm giving this disclaimer at the direction of my company attorney because in my experience, companies like this one only survive by threatening slander exposes them for being the crooks that they are.

The service technician showed up right on time. I showed him what needed to be done (outdoor 120V panel removed and replaced with 240V service panel for the hot tub) and I got a firm upfront price (parts and labor) straight out of his service binder. No surprises. Since he was already here, I showed him another minor job I had been putting off (replacing the security light high ankle my garage). Again he gave me a firm price (labor only) or if his binder. I would supply the security light myself. So while he ran to the store to get the parts to replace the 120V panel, zi went to Lowe's to pick out and purchase the security light I wanted (motion-activated). When I returned home 30 minutes later, he was already working on the panel outside. I gave him the security light and he was done with everything in about 20 minutes. I would definitely use Copper Ridge again for my electrical or plumbing needs.

The furnace tech diagnosed the furnace as needing at least a new control board and couldn't be sure other parts weren't bad. The furnace was full of ice. Based on the price of the potential repairs, it made more sense to replace the furnace. The installers arrived first thing the next morning and we had heat around lunch time. Everyone from Chapman was clean, courteous and did great work. It wasn't cheap for any of this, but we feel that the prices were reasonable, especially since we were 100% done the very next day.

This time around, I've gotten the chance to try out Chapman to address some electrical issues in the house. Truthfully, I wasn't aware that Chapman handled electrical. I'd begun having some significant electrical issues a couple weeks before Thanksgiving. I called another company that I'd used for a smaller project with good results. They came over and did some minor adjustments, however, they noted there were significant issues and planned to send me an estimate. They did let me know this "fix" was more like a band-aid and the significant work was inevitable. It was less than a day when the "band-aid" stopped working. I waited a bit anticipating their estimate, though also disappointed that they'd done such a weak fix. Finally, things got WAY worse. It was shortly before Thanksgiving and the situation was urgent. I left a message for Chapman anticipating that I was likely out of luck for the holiday weekend. My general sense was that was their plan, too. However, I think the rep (I believe her name was Hannah) heard the panic in my voice and I explained my situation. She arranged for a technician to visit the house the next day. This tech did agree that the issue was serious and warranted a few major repairs. He explained it well and explained my options. To be honest, I'm usually quite cheap. However, when he gave me two options I went with the more expensive option as I really wanted to make sure the fix was done properly. I was tired of band-aids. They used my initial service call as a down payment and the electrician, Rodney as I recall, scheduled it and made sure he would be the electrician for the project (NOTE: In reality, this ended up being a 2-3 person job). The only slight hiccup was that I'd been told they'd arrive at 8am. In reality, I called them at 10am and learned they were having trouble finding one needed part. That was fine, though I should have been called. Around 11:15, and somewhat surprisingly, they arrived and dug in. Seven hours later? They were done. I was particularly touched by a neat gesture - I'm a wheelchair user. In their estimate, the electrician had written that he'd be putting my new panel in at wheelchair height. This wasn't something I asked for particularly, however, it was a pretty cool gesture recognizing my needs. Rodney explained everything and was entirely work focused. He completed the work as promised and the cost was exactly as quoted. He explained a couple other concerns - including one that wouldn't be a Chapman issue, however, he explained how it could impact the electric. I've now had Chapman work on my furnace and my electric. Are they more expensive? Yeah, I'd say so. If you're looking for a budget electrician, Chapman probably isn't that. However, in all three visits the work has been done and done well. They've avoided band-aids and actually fixed issues. Their quotes have been accurate. The employees have been professional. With the exception of today's tardiness, the experiences have all been impeccable. Truthfully, I should have likely called Chapman first. While I may not call them for smaller issues, the truth is for me it's worth a bit more to get the work done right. The work is warrantied and I now have a system that should last for years and is also accessible. That other company? I still don't have their estimate. Chapman wins.

Early the next morning, I had a message from Adam B. Once I got to work, I returned the call and quickly described my issue and what I believed it to be. The first available appointment wasn't until Monday (it wasn't urgent, so I wasn't worried about going the weekend). I got my timeframe. I had a couple other appointments that day, so I ended up taking the day off so I could easily be available. I immediately liked that they told me who would be arriving - AND that was who arrived. I also liked that they use a customer portal that allows you to have some security if you pay online or to review your records. Christian arrived (there was one other person with him). It took him a couple minutes to diagnose the issue he believed it to be, and it took him not a lot longer to determine that diagnosis correct. He quoted the price, I agreed, and he got to work. After finishing the work, he determined the original issue I'd believed it to be wasn't quite needing to be addressed (but will be in the near future). We discussed options, including ways I could save a bit. Christian was personable and explained things in a way I could understand. The issue was likely caused by me, but he managed to avoid using the word "idiot" at any point. The repair was done in a timely manner. The price ended up being a bit lower than quoted. I appreciated his honesty as he very easily could have pointed me toward a repair not needing done yet. It also became obvious the last person I'd used had really only done half the job. Everything has worked beautifully since Christian finished. There are likely a couple more projects I'll tackle in the near future, and I won't hesitate to return to Grateful Plumber. The housecall was $59, but that was credited toward the repair once I decided to have them do the work. Friendly employees. Good follow-through. Fair pricing. Quality work. Problem solved. That's 5-star for me and another winner for Yelp's project feature.
