Upfront pricing and do nothing give you a quote and still do nothing and then say come back the next day and charge you $100-$200 an hour And that want the cash not a check upfront for eight hours minimum
Do not use this company trust the reviews learn from my mistake I'm out a lot of money I never give bad reviews but this one deserves it..

In years past Ever-Ready had served me very well. So when I called for an electrical problem I was amazed at the bad service I received this time. I had to spend thousands of dollars to get some lights going, requiring three visits that ended up with very large holes hacked into my walls, left for me to fix. They replaced a breaker and charged me $250 for the breaker, saying the ""postage"" was what made it so expensive. I don't like to cause any business a problem, but I felt that this was beyond reasonable and will never use them again. Beware!

Couldn't see how they actually work because I told them to leave. A lady on the phone informed me that there's $59 service fee for them to go to my property and give me an estimate. After they got to the house we signed $59 service charge and after that the guy said there's $460 upfront diagnostic fee? Which doesn't go towards a repair or parts, and they charge $170 an hour an addition of diagnostic and service fee. So I payed $59 and told them to leave. So I think that's what they do, just driving around and collecting $59 service fee.

Had a technician come out to the house today to troubleshoot a electrical problem. Several outlets weren't working. Technician was very nice, seemed competent. Explained his company's pricing. $59 to show up at your door. For me $454 to diagnose the electrical problem. Took approximately 4.5 hours to find the problem, which was a fair amount of time. We had to move some furniture away from the walls and move other items. Couldn't find the burnt outlet right off so the tech thought maybe it might be in the wiring in the overhead ceiling. So he gained access to the attic through a ceiling panel. After a short amount of time he determined the problem wasn't up there. After further troubleshooting as I stated above he found the problem. So the diagnosis was over. At that time he explained to me that the diagnosis cost did not cover the repair cost. A additional fee of $150-250 to replace a GFI outlet in the bathroom that was not up to code and a electrical outlet in my daughters room Which was the culprit of all my problems. I thought that $150-250 was a ridiculous price to pay for the replacement of two outlets. So I did it myself. Again I thought the technician was very nice and competent. But at the end of the job he was in a hurry to leave and forgot to do a few things. Close up the overhead attic panel and put the cover down and over The outdoor circuit breaker panel.
Would I hire this company to do any further electrical jobs for me in the future? Maybe, but probably not. This company kind of fools you by thinking that a fixed price to find the problem over an hourly rate will save you some money. They kill you with the actual repair cost. So add that up with the show up at your door fee plus diagnosis fees. Adds up to lots of $$$. Next time I'll just pay the hourly fee and get it all done. I will do more research with other replicable electric companies out there in the future.

Contacted Frank to do an electric car and spa hookup. Julio spent two days out at our home and did an absolutely fantastic job. Conduit is all straight and installation is first rate. Very courteous and clean as well. Best experience with a contractor in a long time.

Frank does really good work, but $515 To replace 3 outside light fixtures. I bought the fixtures and bulbs $160. Also a switch was replaced. The diagnostics were quoted as 450 when I was fairly certain it just the fIxtires needed replacing. The 3 hrs labor. Great I have outside lights working. I must confess his employee was very polite,

The electrician sent out, Julio, did a great job installing five ceiling fans in my house. He was on time, professional, and got the job done by the time he quoted. He was super nice and was very personable. No issues with this company from start to finish.

This company Charged me $49 to come out and give me an outrageous estimate to replace 5 electrical outlets it's there way to steal from customers once he was here and gave me the ridiculous estimate he demanded I give him $49 just to show up WTF.

Bad experience. I scheduled my appointment at least a week ahead, was told they would be here between 12-2 so took that time off work. Didn't hear from them, I called to see if we were still on and they said it would be more like 2:30-4. They've wasted the majority of my day, not willing to give them more time.
