Best Outlet Installation in Minneapolis MN

I finally got around to getting the living room electrical issue addressed. The cats had a huge fight some time ago, and I'd lost power to 3/4 of the room. Because I figured that it was going to be a pretty spendy proposition, I hemmed and hawed about it.

When I finally broke down to address it, I used the Yelp Get-A-Quote feature to find reputable companies to get the job done.

Erickson was one of the responding companies. They were not the company who promised me the cheapest rates. Their contact was professional and friendly. After giving my phone number, I was called by a young lady who asked me to return the call if I was interested in having them work on my home (I was in my 10,000th Zoom meeting at the time of the call).

I called back and was asked a few more questions about the issue and I explained that I believed that one outlet was the source of the problem and that fixing it would end all the other problems. I was told that they bill for time and materials and that the cost would be around $200, depending upon the amount of time the electrician would be working. This was in line with the research I'd done on outlet replacement costs.

I took a deep breath and accepted the time slot of 7:30 - 9:30 Thursday. This was a quicker time than some of the other companies had available, and I didn't want to wait any longer.

Dean was right on time and got right to work inspecting what needed to be done. We chatted a bit as he was preparing to get into the outlet. I showed him down to the basement to ensure that the circuit was off. He'd mentioned several things about the wiring and such while down there. I've made mental notes of them. Before going down, he tried to use a device that would read the current but couldn't get it into the outlet (it was pretty melted).

After taking apart the outlet, which was very crispy, he explained that the problem was the wiring in the outlet itself and that my cats fighting didn't cause the overload. It was a fire waiting to happen. I wasn't happy to hear that, as I've now got concerns about all the other outlets in the house.

It didn't take him any time at all to switch out and correctly rewire the new outlet. This was probably the best $205 I've spent on the house thus far.

Dean was friendly, professional, and fast. I'm feeling quite happy that Yelp has helped me go three for three with service professionals coming to work on things in my home. I know that I'll be calling Erickson for anything that comes up in the future.

Tyler arrived a little early, which was fine with me.

I showed him the door in question and he went right to work. He was done in less than 30 minutes. The appointment time was set for an hour, and since I don't fix doors, I had no idea if it would take that long.

Tyler is friendly and professional. I'm happy that I went with Hall The Way Done for this job. I've got another door issue that I want addressed in the spring, and Tyler will be first on my list to get the job done.

One of the things I love most, besides the great job, is that I got an appointment very quickly. My schedule is the only reason why it waited until Friday. I like it when I don't have to rearrange my life for a contractor to come out to do work. With Mother Nature dumping a boatload of snow on us, I was set to work from home, anyway.

Tricia and Tyler are top-notch and I'm happy to do business with them. I suspect that you might feel the same way, too, if you give them the opportunity.

I had to call the office staff on a couple of occasions after installation and speak to a staff member Alisha not only was she rude on both occasions but very unprofessional. I am happy with my product and the service people I dealt with but there office staff could use an upgrade.

Always satisfied with Air Mechanical, I have been using their services for over 20 years.

Service Today is extremely overpriced and provides poor quality work. I had an electrical fixture project that was not completed professionally - it required additional work to fix the poor work done. I have been waiting weeks for customer service to respond. Highly not recommended! Save your money and a headache and go elsewhere.

Would have given zero stars if an option.

Overly aggressive and dishonest sales person (Ray R), poor quality installation of my hvac that left the gas line obstructing the bottom panel so it can't be fully serviced without removing the gas line, overcharged thousands of dollars for the lowest quality product. Avoid Dean's, I'd give them less than 1 star if that was an option.

Edit: they responded to my google review and asked me to call them but all they did was waste more of my time. After telling me they were unable to pull up the pricing information for the hvac unit they sold me they assured me they gave me a fair price but the exact same units are available at retail prices, including delivery, for many thousands of dollars less than I was charged even including the discounts I was offered. Do not hire Dean's, they will take advantage of you and then pretend to care about your concerns while giving you the run around.

I needed to have a simple toilet replaced.  Before I even checked out these Yelp reviews, I called Hero because I hear their ads on TV every morning while getting ready for work.  When I asked about pricing and approximate time to remove/install a toilet, the gentleman told me that the  only pricing they quote is an $89 diagnostic charge  After that, they leave pricing up to the technician because every job is so different.   I said ok, considering it's a toilet, the $89 diagnostic charge is really a trip charge (which would be competitive and reasonable) but then asked if he didn't understand that homeowners such as myself would be uncomfortable not receiving any pricing estimate until the job was finished, at which point the tech could try and charge me whatever he wanted.   The gentleman said he understood that but offered no counter proposal.  I thanked him, hung up the phone and called one of the other plumbers I had early spoke with to schedule the job.
