After a year and a few more dollars spent on electrical work, I have to update my review for Triple T Electric. I hired them to replace two breaker panels and run new dedicated lines for air conditioners in a two family house.
The house is over 100 years old, with very old wiring. They gave us the wrong size breakers for the wiring in most of the house - this is a huge fire hazard, as breakers will not trip if overloaded. When the electrician finished the work, he let me know that he gave us larger breakers, and presented this as if it was an upgrade. We had never discussed this, but he explained that we would be getting "more power" to our devices and that everything would be fine.
We only found out about the danger of bigger breakers with smaller wiring months later when we had some other, unrelated minor electrical work done.
I called Triple T to let them know about my concerns, and they sent someone else out to take a look. The electrician that they sent let me know that the wiring going into the panels "looked fine", but that they would switch out the breakers "if I wanted" for $600.
Additionally, the new lines on the first floor were wired to the breaker panel on the second floor - we didn't realize this until later when we went to relabel the panels. I knew that I did not trust Triple T to fix their own work at this point, so I never brought this specific issue up with them.
I received quotes from three other electricians, all of whom agreed that some of the wiring going into the panels was indeed the wrong size wire. Additionally, several breakers had two wires going into them, when it should only be one, which can overload the breaker. All three electricians agreed that the work had created a safety risk. Two of the three other electricians also found that the grounding system was installed incorrectly, as well as the bushing and lock nut on the second floor panel.
I don't like leaving negative reviews, especially for local businesses. However, people deserve to know when they are dealing with contractors who take advantage of their clients not knowing everything about electrical. I feel scammed by Triple T, and I am unsettled that the wiring in my house was unsafe for months because of their work. read more
