Fornoff Electric

Great service. Came out, gave me a bid and were able to come the next day to do the job. They did an outstanding job, and I love that it is a family owned business and Mark's sons were just as professional as he was. I will definitely use him again!

Wow!! I had the exact same experience as C.K. Bought the Conejo Deal for two hours of work. Scheduled an appt. The day before my first appt. they called to reschedule. The next appt. Jake showed up & we went thru everything that I needed to have done. This took approx. 30 min. He started to take off the old lights on the front of the house & informed me he needed to get parts . Now, shouldn't a reliable & experienced electrician already have basic stuff with them? This little shopping trip took 45 min. He got called away from my job for something that the company was going to make more money on (I'm sure). On the next appt. I was informed by Jake that my two hours from the Conejo Deal was now down to 1 hour since he was already at my house once before. I let him know that that wasn't right but I still wanted the lights put on the front of my house & told him to ""Just get the job done"". He made a comment to the effect of the company not making any money on the Conejo Deal. Listen up, Bozos!! Those things, as well as Groupon & Living Social aren't for you to make money. They're a way for you to show people your service/product & let them know what great customer service you provide. You failed!!

I ended up paying for an hour of time as well as $80 in parts (Really?!! $80 for conduit?) Also during the time Jake was here he had me get up in the loft of my garage to move a bunch of stuff under the guise that he ""had to get up there to get to some wiring"". Well he never went up into the loft. He also thought it was perfectly ok to just barge into my house multiple times without knocking. I was alone & to have a large man just barge into my home was unacceptable. I locked the doors. He did other things to just irritate me just because I called him out on the poor business ethic.

Stay away from Fornoff Electric!

Over priced. Charged me $145 service charge for an estimate. When mark left I had the same problem as when he came. I would not use him if he were the last electrician on earth. Total shyster

Hmmm...seems this Conejo Deal was a bad idea for more than just me. I bought the deal for two hours of work and I assumed that meant two hours of work at our house, not including the time to look around at what needs to be done (isn't that part of the generally free estimate???) and then the time it took to run to the store to get parts (45min?!?!) So the first hour of my two hours of work was used up already. I ended up getting something else done than what we were originally hoping knowing there was no way they would be able to make a sufficient amount of progress in one hour. Was SUPER disappointed. We were really looking forward to the completed project but instead didn't do that knowing that we would be charged the $115 per hour for sure to complete the job.
I would have given them two stars but the fact that they left the toilet seat up after using our restroom.... not polite.

I really wanted to like this company but definitely disappointed. :(

Kept rescheduling my appointment, and when they did show up, didn't follow the written instructions that I left for them. Their office staff even had them written on my receipt for them, even after I spent the money to purchase the supplies I wanted installed. They just reinstalled my old hardware. I purchased the Conejo Valley deals for 2 hrs, but to get around offering me the discount, they charged me for more man hours. Final price was $100 over the estimate given.

I purchased a deal from Conejo Valley Deals on February 18, 2014.

I called the company from my work phone and asked the receptionist if Mark could come out and provide an estimate of the work to be done so that I could get a full understanding of how much the work would cost. He came out to the house and sent me an estimate on March 6, 2014. The dates of our email communications are below:

March 6 - Received estimate via email from Mark
March 6 - Responded to Mark's estimate asking how many hours it would take to have the work done
March 14 - Sent a follow up email to Mark
March 17 - Received a response from Mark regarding my March 6th question
March 17 - I responded to Mark asking if he was available to do the work the following Thursday

I did not receive a response from him so I called his office the week of March 31st to schedule an appointment. Yvonne, one of his assistants answered and said she didn't have the appointment book with her but would schedule the appointment for April 10th. She said she would return my call the next day to confirm the appointment. I did not hear back from her.

I called the week prior to the appointment and spoke to Debbie who said my appointment was not in the books but Mark would be available. On Tuesday, April 8th, I had to cancel the appointment due to an illness so I rescheduled for April 16th with Yvonne.

I received a call on April 10th (my original appointment date) from Debbie who said that Mark was going to be late. I said I had my appointment for April 16th but if he was available, he was more than welcome to come to do the work. She said that would be fine. The time was 1:12 p.m. on the 10th when I spoke to Debbie. She said Mark was going to be about an hour late. At 3 p.m., Mark still had not shown up nor did he call to tell me if he was going to come.

I am incredibly disappointed in this company and would not recommend them at all. While Mark is a nice guy, he has some major business issues with his staff and his time. He told me that he had sold over 100 of these deals so I'm assuming he stretched himself too thin. Not a good business decision.

I would steer clear of this company. Their work quality was decent, however the pricing was not.

I purchased a Conejo Valley deal for a 2 hour work period for Fornoff Electric. The plan was for them to install a ceiling fan which was supposed to take 2 to 3 hours. I understood that extra time above the 2 hours was to be charged extra.

Did it go over? You betcha... They charged me for going to the hardware store (twice), for the worker to be texting on his phone in the truck, and for basically not paying enough by buying the Conejo Valley deal (I'm assuming).

We were hit for 2 1/2 hours extra labor above the 2 hours we paid ahead through Conejo Valley deals. We were not happy with that extra $317.00 but my wife paid it to get the guy out of the house... She wasn't going to argue with a large guy demanding money....

So after this happened I called the owner and he agreed to drop off a refund equal to 1 hours labor for the parts runs. That was over 2 weeks ago. No money dropped off or refund at all. He won't respond to email requests and at this point, I figure my money is long gone.

Maybe it would have been different if I called them for a bid to do the work. However, I bought their Conejo deal offer in good faith that we would receive 2 hours of electric work. I guess I should have known better.

Great service from Fornoff Electric. My clients look for value and prompt service. Mark and his crew deliver EVERY time. As a businessman, I am sometimes reluctant to give referrals. Not so with Fornoff Electrical. Many thanks.

I've had them do work at my home, and also referred them to my neighbors, one is an engineer. All work done on time, on budget, buy a contractor who DOESN'T leave a mess! Nice work guys.
