Sattler Electrical Service

Shaw J.

Sid came by and gave us an hour and half estimate that came to triple what my normal electrician charges. According to Sid, The solution to our question was a complicated and expensive fix. We declined the proposal at the initial meeting and waited for our regular guy, who effected a much simpler fix for 1/3 the cost.
What really bothered me about Sid was that he charged us $150 to stand there and listen to his hour and half bid for over $1800 for a small run of conduit. Won't call him again!

Sid and his crew are great. Very professional, great communication. They did the work in a timely manner and were a pleasure to have around the house.

Our hero - Sid might be the nicest guy ever. The outlet our water heater is plugged into went out, which resulted in no hot water on a Sunday morning. On top of that, my baby daughter is sick. Sid picked up his cell phone, even though he is on his way out of the country, and talked us through how to get things working again. SO GRATEFUL.

I appreciated the very professional service. Sid Sattler took the time to trouble shoot with me over the phone to see if we could avoid the trip out, and when it didn't do the trick he worked with my schedule and came within the timeframe agreed upon. I didn't meet Sid himself, he sent his very pleasant and capable electricians out- Mic and Mica. They walked me through where the problem was, and what to do next time. The cost of service was sent beforehand, so no surprises. I highly recommend these guys.

My wife & I have used Sid and his team 3 times now, and they are great. The job is finished on time, the clean-up is thorough, and he actually returns your calls! They have worked with us on a couple of tricky lighting projects, and we are very happy with the results. Recommended!

I've been talking to Sid about installing an outlet for an electrical vehicle at my apartment. He has been very helpful and walked me through my options. He is very professional, and it was great to talk to someone who was willing to explain things to someone who is new to this sort of thing. Definitely recommend calling them!

Sid quoted me a price of ~$3,500 when he came and looked at the work to be done. Then 10 days later, he sent me a formal estimate of ""$4,500 to $6,000""; which would include: $115/hour/person to drive to the job site! AND $115/hour/person to pick up necessary supplies! AND Sid would charge me 10% more than he pays for these supplies! AND $115/hour/person to haul anything away! No way! A friend of mine had the same experience, Sid quoted her one price upon seeing the work to be done, then a price thousands of dollars higher in a formal estimate based on ""time and materials"" So don't wasted your time and energy with Sid Sattler.

See Sid's responses to all the other 1 and 2 star reviews (most of which have been removed since I originally posted my review). In each case Sid just denies and negates the negative, but valid, reviews. My conclusion remains: Don't waste your time and energy with Sid Sattler.

As a 'handyman' I must deal with electrical problems and installations, and sometimes my inferior knowledge about complex wiring stops me or slows me down. I decided recently to call the ""smaller"" names in the electrical section of the yellow pages for some help. Sid called me back to discuss my issues, and he GENEROUSLY contributed simple phone instructions to help with my electrical issues. He understood that some of my problems could be solved with just a little chit-chat, and I went on to complete my electrical work based on his phone help. How generous is that??? Sid was down to earth, very knowledgeable about my situation, and within 5 minutes he explained how I could complete my project. Obviously he did NOT have to help me, but my job was small and probably not worth a full visit to get it done.
How can you NOT recommend someone who helps a total stranger over the phone?? No, he won't give out free help continuously, but in my situation, it made the best sense to help with my problem and be a GOOD COMMUNITY MEMBER in the process. Call Sid----he's a good electrician and businessman.

We've used Sattler Electric multiple times over the years to get various electrical work done on our house. They are professional, prompt and reasonably priced. They gave me options for the repairs we needed and came up with a much lower cost solution that I anticipated. I'm very satisfied with their work and service and plan on using them again for any electrical work that we need.

After reading the rave reviews for Sattler on Yelp, I decided to give them a try. It was a shockingly expensive experience, and while the men working in my house were polite and professional, the amount I ended up paying was WAY more than I ever anticipated. So far, their work has held up.

The bid I received gave me an ambiguous quote, for ""Progress"", attached to a list of all the work that needed to be completed in our house. I asked for clarification, and believed that the amount quoted would cover the jobs listed. In my past experience dealing with electricians, the bid given always fell close to the end amount due. If I wasn't experiencing an outage that took out my internet and television, leaving me feeling totally disconnected, I would have waited for my regular electrician to be available. But, it was sort of urgent in my mind. I understand that much of the work reveals itself once a project is started, but my final bill came out to be almost twice the given number without any unanticipated problems, and without touching a couple of the jobs listed. Imagine 2.5 days of work substituting for a family vacation. Holy cow. Sid was very matter-of-fact, like, clearly, I had not understood his cryptic proposal. (???) His verbose explanation did little to bring light to his bidding and billing practice.

Also, without any notice, Sid expected to receive a check for thousands of dollars at the end of each day, and was aggressive in his follow-up for final payment, as I was not home to write a check the last day of their work. I reluctantly paid the full amount due, and chalked it up to listening to my gut next time and sticking with the guys I already know. I wrote Sid a long email explaining my dissatisfaction, mentioning that I was left feeling duped and sucker-punched, and heard NOTHING in response. So much for his concern for customer satisfaction. So, for the first time ever, I am writing a review on Yelp, hoping to save anyone else from Sattler Electrical Service.
