Bolt Electric

Paid $968 for a time & materials job to a contractor that is charging $110/hr. Bolt Electrics bid? $3589, choose wisely.

Most contractors love publicly, but the publicity this company received on NEWS CHANNEL 8, just warned me to avoid them.

With On Your Side TV Reporters & Review Websites like Yelp allowing customers to make comments, no longer can the questionable contractors hide.

The honest, good guys shine and will not only get the trust of the communities, but more important, they will get their business.

Rip off your customers, get caught and your reputation will truly suffer.
Do good work at a fair price and you'll reap the rewards.

Great company. Quoted a very reasonable price to install an outdoor electrical outlet. Work was done quickly and efficiently.

Horrible Company that charges elderly extra because they think they can get over on them! Nobody should give this company any business! If they would charge a 85 yr old woman over $1000 to install 3 fire dectectors in an apartment....they will milk you for extra fees and fines any chance they get! What a disgrace!!! Do NOT recommend!!

These guys were just busted on News Channel 8. They charged a woman more than $1,000 to install four smoke detectors. The alarms cost $8 each and with an hour of labor the price should have been $50. And they threatened her with a lien on her house if she didn't pay the $1,000.
They claimed it was a new billing system that the employees didn't fully understand. Yeah, right. These guys should go out of business.

Great communications. They kept me updated on when service would be. Technician was on time and after initially not finding the issue, he kept searching until it was resolved. Definitely would recommend.

Very disappointing they take advantage of senior citizens. Charging 1k for 4 smoke detectors and an hour of labor is insane. Bolt Electric could have apologized, charged $250 and moved on but they continue to say they did nothing wrong. https://www.wfla.com/8-on-your-side/better-call-behnken/family-of-89-year-old-woman-questions-1-010-smoke-alarm-charge-threat-of-home-lien/2084189810

According to a NBC8 Tampa News story, these people charged a 86 year old lady over $1000.00 in install 4 smoke-detecters in her home. The detectors retail for about $25.00/each at any big-box store.

So...a $200/service call plus the detectors should have been about $300.00 at the most.

They refused to ""make this right"" even after a family member intervened.

What kind of business treats anyone like this and rips people off like this? Especially someone who is a senior citizen.

You be the judge.

The next time you need an electrical company, It sure ain't gonna be this one for anybody I can get to listen.

Shame on you..........Boycott these people.

Many, many bad reviews on other sites!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unbelievable!. Just saw ""Better Call Behnken"", on Channel 8; Bolt Electric apparently ripped off an 89 year old lady ""Dorothy Ahlquist"", by charging her $1010.75 for 4 new $8.00 Kiddle Model#14610AC. Think twice before calling these thieves. Instead of being fair & honest, they took advantage of this lady who lives by herself.

I put a 1 for a review which is probably misleading, it should be a ""0"". They never showed up. We had an appointment for 6/5/2019, they called and change it to 6/6/2019, called and canceled that one and rescheduled for today 6/10/2019. They were suppose to come between 10-2. It is now 4:30, no one showed up and no one bothered to call. Three strikes and you are out!
