Is there a no star button? Had them come out and do a quote for my home. Had specific things on the list. In return I get a 23000K quote for things I didn't ask for and codes that I don't understand. Had to pay $89 for nothing! Never again! They are highway robbery

I needed two lighting fixtures installed, a smoke detector on a high ceiling replaced, a GFCI outlet replaced, and hard-to-reach light bulbs replaced. Brett and OJ at SALT did a great and efficient job with the requested items. Additionally, they conducted a thorough inspection and pointed out some future projects that need our attention to bring the house up to code.

The pricing is fair and Brett provided several options for me to select that would work within my budget.

Highly recommend this service and will definitely be reaching out to the team again for future needs.

The one star reviews of this company are spot on! I used them once in 2017 and have regretted it ever since. An outside light fixture turned out to have a loose wire. It cost this senior citizen $79, then a sales pitch for more services (which I declined) and when I finally agreed to the light fixture repair it costs an additional $125! For a loose wire. I have since gone with a company that gives a verbal and written estimate before they come out with no trip fee. Word to the wise-if any company will not give you even a ball park figure and will not give a free visual estimate, go elsewhere. There is plenty of competition.

Day 2. We still have had no resolution. This company over billed us at 900%. Over $1500 for fixtures that cost $35 for a box of 4 fixtures where we were charged $86 per fixture. I learned they even went to HD and purchased them, so they probably bought at an even lower commercial rate, granted, a supposition on my part. Please be aware.

Do your homework BEFORE they do any work. The markup was 900% for some straightforward lighting that was done recently. I believe the technician took advantage of the fact that I was on phone meetings while the deal was being set up.

If you want electrical work done go elsewhere!

I had a short in the crawl space that knocked out several plugs. The fix would require running some new cable and replacing two outlets. The service tech SALT sent estimated the repair at over twenty three hundred dollars AND charged several hundred for the diagnostic work. This was a job I figured would take perhaps fifty bucks worth of cable and parts and five hours max. I hired a real electrician who did the work in three and a quarter hours for less than three hundred dollars, less than one seventh what SALT wanted. Beware!

Worst biz I've ever dealt with. I had a bad breaker, was told there is a $200 after hr charge to respond, ok. Then was called and told, no it's $500, and tech couldn't even tell me if they had the breaker to fix the problem... after I told them make/model. THEN, I was called back a 3rd time to tell me they could get the breaker in from SA next day but it would now be $1,500 +. Complete attempt to price gouge. I called another electrician and he was shocked by SALTS clear attempt to exploite my situation. Btw.. notice how SALTS site has a near perfect rating, but Yelp is no where near that... I can guarantee they are using a service to drive fake reviews to defraud the public. Btw.. the poor SALT tech apologized and told me his company had a bad habit of overcharging... damn sad.. I will be filing a BBB and AG complaint.. DO NOT USE SALT! Run away from this biz, they are dishonest.

Salt came to my home today after I requested service for a malfunctioning GFCI plug and an outlet in my garage that felt warm to the touch. I understood they would be inspecting the entire home, but I did not anticipate that my present problems would not be fixed or addressed when they came out. The service is very misleading and I feel that I was taken advantage of. I also thought the service charge would be $79 and I was charged $89. I could have misunderstood. I do think the term ""service charge"" would imply that they would provide services to fix my current problem. They took an hour just to write everything up. THEY COULD HAVE REPLACED MY MALFUNCTIONING PLUG IN THAT TIME. It was a glorified sales call under the cloak of providing electrical services.

Wow I just about got ""Salted"" but I did not fall for it. Most expensive electrical company around. $550.00 to change out two plugs and do a diagnostic test? They will charge you $89.00 for the trip won't give prices estimates over the phone, When they arrive they try and sell you a yearly maintence contract and then the give you the most outrageous prices I have ever heard of. I lost the $89.00 called customer service to complain. They don't care busy looking for other suckers. Avoid this place unless you like wasting your money! I got the total job done for $200.00 from another company. They should be ashamed.

Seemed like a professional company, but they charged $80 just to give a quote and then the quote was 3x more then other companies quote for the same work. Wouldn't recommend.
