TE Certified Electrical, Plumbing, Heating & Cooling

TE Certified certainly understands their business model - focus on well-off northern suburbs and pursue a strategy of sky-high ""fixed price services"" that push hourly rate close to $1000 an hour. And the final piece - all the reviews online are driven by their offer of Starbucks gift card (the ones that are not fake).

Case and point - had them come out to install a refrigerator ice line. In the end, worked out to be $1500 for a few hours of work. For example, they found a new service to replace the pressure regulator ($60 part, plus maybe 2 fittings worth $5 each), the list charge is $850+. It takes approximately 15 minutes at best to turn off water, cut the pipe (1 minute with tubing cutter), and propress the new pressure regulator with copper fittings (maybe 10 minutes?). So the hourly rate works out to be $1000+... who knew I should have become a plumber?

Of course installing refrigerator ice line is another $800...the beauty of fixed price services. They also added a leakfinder service, even though I did not complain about leaks.

To make matters worse, their plumber kept ranting about politics, first by asking me ""Do you know who Rush Limbaugh is?"" Yeah buddy, ""I never heard of him"". Of course then the plumber goes on a massive rant about liberals, stolen election, etc. I obviously tried to deescalate and say I don't do politics, as you don't want revenge from the guy fixing your pipes. That is when he was not on his phone, I assume reading rants from ""the Rush"" himself.

Ugh. Bunch of con men.

We had a difficult request. We needed to replace a light in the foyer of our townhome. It required a 16ft ladder and a LOT of attention to detail ... but Nic and Jason did a fantastic job!! Really appreciated their availability the week of Thanksgiving as well. This was our second time using T.E. electricians and we will definitely use them again!

Our experience with TE certified was during the pandemic.

I scheduled a service through Yelp chat. The process was very easy, and the representative was very responsive. There was no initial fee charged to come out based on my discussion with representative. I was under the impression that no fee will be charged for them to come out to just have a look.

The tech came on time and he was following the COVID-19 precautions. He was very knowledgeable and wearing the mask the entire time.
The only downside was that he charged $130 to come out and diagnose the issue. This is why I took off one star.

He offered a few recommendations to improve our AC performance and gave us the pricing which was on the high side with our budget.

We will probably come back for the major service in the future.

After describing the issue I was having and wanting someone to come see why the breaker was blowing before doing any more electrical work to our house, the company said they would send someone at no charge. As soon as the technician arrived, he told me it would be $149. Their bait and switch tactic was not appreciated and was a complete waste of time. Beware before working with this company. They will show up for free and immediately ask for payment!

I can recommend TE Certified as a 5 star company. They were prompt , efficient , friendly and presented multiple options to balance quality with budget. Went over and above expectations and rechecked furnace install post the wind storm.
Selection
Combination of internet reviews , the recommended contractor book that we all get and an offer of high efficiency furnaces in post. On reviews they stood out
Initial engagement
They turn up well in clean well branded vehicles, an indication that the company is on a solid financial basis.The estimator listens and adapts to asks. Top company
