Best Security System 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.

Would not recommend this company to even my worst Enemy.   They are nothing more than rip off artist.  Had a technician (used VERY loosely) come out and explain that our a/c unit was going to need some major parts replaced at an exorbitant amount of money $3000 or in his opinion to just replace the whole system for a mere $1000 more.   Happen to get a second opinion on the matter and low and behold for less than the cost of these con-artists to come out and describe all the things wrong with my a/c unit we are up and running cool and comfortable.  I did contact Alex and then also spoke to Greg to allow them to make this right.  They chose not to even attempt to make this right.  I would RUN from this company there are so many more out there that are better and that are actually TRUSTWORTHY.   They will belittle you, talk down to you and this basically explains how they do business.

BAD EXPERIENCE:

Heidi changed the times for this appointment three times then today they were suppose to show between 1-4.  At 3:45 I looked outside and their truck was in my driveway with the guy talking on his phone.  I unlocked the door and waited for him.  Heidi called at 3:55 to say he will be late and is on his way..I told her he was in my driveway but NOW he was gone.  They wanted me to wait even longer...  Guy Never called nor knocked on the door.  They want YOU to be on call for THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
