I had Mr. Electric in to repair a plug and while there was told by Rob that my house was in danger of fire since the plugs all needed to be pigtailed with copper wiring. Being the 24/7 caregiver for my husband with Alzheimer's and not having had to be responsible for house maintenance, I now feel I was taken advantage of being a senior who didn't need any more trouble should there be a fire.....many other concerns were also given to me at the time. So I agreed to have this done although the quote of $3,000 was a concern to me. Afterwards I discovered I could have had it done for $1,500 - $1,700 by other electrical companies. I had already given them $1,500 deposit which they said was non-refundable. They wanted paid some money each day the electrician worked. I found the electrician Greg very nice to have in my home and discovered the last day he worked for me was the day he was leaving that company to work for another. Mr. Electric has not even tried to return a call I made to him about three weeks ago. I also faxed him a complaint on 20th August. I would certainly not recommend this company to anyone. As I now read other reviews written on other companies, it has crossed my mind that they issued me a certificate but there was no actual inspection done by the Electrical Safety Authority to say the work was done properly. Should there have been? And is this certificate valid?
