Numerous Electrical Issues and Jobs
Terrible, stressing and not honest
Richard’s name is Marcello.
On Nov.6/11 he called me to price a service upgrade to 200 Amp. We met in front of his triplex on Major St. in Toronto. He agreed to our price and conditions (payment due at job completion). He instructed us to start after 8:30 am
because the electrical panel was in the basement bedroom apartment, so we wouldn’t disturb the tenants before they left.
I understood and agreed completely. We started and finished. The inspector came and passed the job and gave me authorization
to reconnect to street Hydro feeds. Mr. Marcello came afterwards. We explained to him that we found some problems to
existing wiring to stove was Romex 14/3 not 8/3. We can only install a 15 amp breaker per Ontario Electric Safety Code. In
order for the stove to work properly it had to be rewired with Romex 8/3. He understood and we gave him the price for repair.
After a minute he came to me and said if you do get paid for the 200Amp. Service, you must do the repair for free. I didn't
Agree to this. He said you are not smart because, it will cost more to collect from me, than installation of new stove wire.
I was very surprised and upset with that conversation, I told him "we can't do it for free, labour and material cost money"
He said " Than I will not pay you for the 200A service, repair must be done for free, try to collect from me, it will take a long time.
I told my staff that Mr Marcello had no intentions of paying us, from the get-go. This is not an honest man.
