Snell Electric

Called for an emergency fuse replacement. My electrical system is fifty years old! Snell took care of business in less than two hours - and they saved all the food in my refrigerator

I should have read Yelp first. I guess I should count my lucky stars that they were a no show. Just wasted a day of vacation.

Mr. Satkany replaced two electrical breakers for me. He came
to my house acting as if he was very busy and in a hurry. He fast
talked the problem and I am guessing because of the questions
I asked he knew I had no electrical background.

He told me his price was $400 for a service call and to replace
the breakers. I am at fault for not doing my homework, however
he knowingly took advantage of the situation. It took him about
10 Min. to do the wiring, and he was gone.

I asked for a card which had a LIC # on it, he wrote out an invoice with
the name of his company on it, and he first asked for cash than took a check.

If you or your company reads this review...shame on you Mr. Satkany,
I have nothing positive to say about you or your company to my
friends or neighbors.

DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY OR THIS MAN FOR ANY REASON.

Shame on you Mr. Satkany !!!

I hired Tibor to do 5 different jobs (of various degrees of difficulties) around my house. I was very happy with his workmanship. He wouldn't take shortcuts or agree to anything that was not according to code. He was reasonable and honest and didn't try to upsell, add, or modify the original agreement even when new things pop up which they always do especially with 5 items.

My husband blew the power to our condo and since it was 9:30 pm, I had to call an after hours electrician which was Snell Electic. Over the phone Tibor quoted me $105 for the trip charge and $60 per 1/2 hour of fixing the problem.

When he arrived, he did some troubleshooting and told us that he needed access to the main electrical switch and that it would cost us $300 if he restores the power. What?! So basically he tried to price gauge us when he knew we would be defenseless and needing the power restored. What happened to $60 per 1/2 hour? Really though? $300 to flip a damn switch?

We didn't know where the main electrical panel to our community was so we paid the freaking trip charge and sent him on his way!

Called Snell a 7:45pm on a Tuesday evening. I had a bad light socket in a bathroom that needed fixing/replacing. He was at my door by 8:00pm and had the problem fixed by 8:15pm. Yes, there was a service call fee and a repair fee that totaled $100. But, it was well worth it for the instant response in the evening and the ""no messing around"" approach. I would use him again.

I had a problem with my doorbell so I called Snell. The electrician, Tibor told me that he could be at my house in about 1-2 hours.. He called me prior to his arrival which was prompt. Tibor explained the pricing and process. He was honest and fixed the problem, pronto. He is a no-no-nonsense guy who worked quickly and got to the root of the problem.

I was having trouble with a ceiling light and was concerned that the trouble might be in the wiring behind the wall. I called Snell and he showed up later that afternoon and proceeded to tell me that it would be $100 to diagnose the problem. It was a Saturday so I thought ok seemed high, but acceptable. Once he found the problem it turned out to be fairly simple rewiring of the light fixture for which he charged me and additional $150. It literally took him 10 minutes to diagnose the problem and another 10 minutes to make the repair and that was with me handing him parts and tools that he kept dropping. The light fixture was not re-installed properly and is now loose and not snug up against the ceiling. This guy is grossly over priced and has poor workmanship. I would not under any circumstance hire him again.

If it wasn't for my landlord I would have fired this guy the 1st day! He was rude and abrasive always in a hurry, offensive beyond belief and regarding his schedule he could have cared less about yours, it was all about his time. When he was in my home he ordered me around, the guy was the rudest person I've ever encountered. I wouldn't even give this guy one star but didn't have a choice. He made sure he rushed the job to get his check and then had to come back a few days later saying he didn't finish the job, when we thought it was finished. An thats when he showed up unexpectedly telling me he needed to spend more time to finish the job. As well as showing up at my home without any appointment ringing the door bell like a crazy person because again, he was in a hurry. I wouldn't recommend Tibor Sarkany to anyone. Sorry to say this is the very 1st person I've ever written a negative review for ...

I too had a horrible experience. This man is a CRIMINAL. NEVER NEVER NEVER use this company for any electrical problem you have at your home. I needed a GFI outlet replaced in my kitchen. I had the new GFI but I was missing a connection so I had to call for help. Tibor came out, wrote the contract for $67.52 for the service call and to troubleshoot, $68.50 per 1/2 hour, no problem. The GFI was in and working within 10 minutes. As I was writing the check, he proceeded to open this white binder and flip to a page that had a price list. He NEVER showed me this price list before the work was started. He charged me an additional $128.09. $244.00 for a $20 GFI outlet replacement. I called the company to complain to the owner and kept asking to speak with the owner and always got the run around. Come to find out that Tibor is the owner. I would NEVER pay that much for a stupid plug. I was alone at home at the time and was very nervous that this CRIMINAL was in my home ripping me off. I was scared to tell him to go to hell.

A very expensive lesson to learn. Always remember that there are dishonest people still praying on needy people everyday.
