Best Smoke Detector Installation in Saint Paul MN

Great company to work with. The electrician, Joe M., arrived right at the scheduled time. He quickly assessed the job I had in mind and recommended the best solution. I am extremely happy with the results and the cost of the job. I would definitely trust Joe and Erickson Plumbing, Heating, Air and Electrical of Blaine to do work for me again.

It's pretty rare that I give a one star review.
We just moved into a new house with an older thermostat. We wanted to replace it with our Nest thermostat, which we've had and used in many homes. My husband was unable to install because we needed to do some re-wiring. Per Nest website, this company is a recommended installer.
I called them up and spoke with Michelle. I told her what I needed and also, we would like to do a HVAC maintenance plan. She proceeded to go through the plans, also going into great detail about an electrical plan and a plumbing plan (neither of which I was interested in). It was a pretty long pitch. She said she'd email me all of the details so I can choose my plan.
Back to the Nest install...I explained we only had 4 wires and needed 5. I even pulled the current thermostat off the wall and we discussed what I saw. She said it was a $110 service fee plus $79 install fee. I agreed and we scheduled the appointment for today (7/5/19) between 12-5.
At 7:45 am, I get a call that Brian is on his way. Huh? I am 100% positive my appointment was 12-5, because I have small children and avoid early appointments as much as possible. So not a good start.
Brian shows up, introduces himself and immediately tells me one of our outside lights was broken and he could fix it while he was here. Then he went into a pitch about all of the things he can fix and install; redoing our recessed lighting etc. I just want my Nest installed. So he went down to the basement to checkout the furnace and electrical panel.
He explains we need to add a wire. He tells us we can buy one ourselves to save money. He does have one in his truck though. But for some reason, he was unable to install the Nest today. I tell him I'm confused because that was the reason for the appointment: install the Nest. He goes back to the fact we need another wire. I explain that I know that, I told Michelle that when I called to make the appointment. Brian stated no, this was an appointment for the estimate. What?! Oh, and that will be $110. Plus another service fee for when he comes back to do the actual install.
He should have been aware of what was needed for the install, as I explained when I first called. He had the wires in his truck. But he can't install. What a scam. We argue out the $110. I agreed Michelle told me about it, but I thought the service fee covered a provided service, not an estimate. I've never paid someone to give me an estimate.
He continued his sales pitch as he was walking out.
Yeah, I will not be calling them again. They're more interested in how much money they can scam you out of, than providing the customer with honest, reliable service.

I would not recommend this company to anyone, came in told me to could not run my furnace and offered me a replacement for 7000. left 2 heaters (only with a 40 dollar deposit) for me to heat my house. called 3 other companies the next day and had a identical furnace to the one they were offering installed in my house for less then 3000, less then haf what they were going to charge. I called them every day for a week to lick u their heaters so I would not get charged the $40, was guaranteed they would not cash my check, finally a week later they come and pick up the heaters, the same day that they cashed my check. seems to me like they are stricly out for money withno regard to the customer.

I have a ceiling fun in my staircase with switches on three levels. Wanted a dedicated juice wire just for that fun, independent from the ceiling light (they are at present on the same circuit).
Have done a lot of DIY, but thought a would get a professional for this particular job, since our condo has six levels. The fellow came with a fully equipped truck as the girl on the phone said (what professional doesn't come with the tools of his trade?). Before even asking what was to be done, he presented books of their company's BBB rating which made me wary. Than It took me more than 15 minutes to explain what I wanted a ceiling fan hooked up on a separate circuit - got the feeling that the guy tried very hard not to understand a very simple procedure I wanted. After spending another hour looking at the switchboard and writing estimates he came up with three figures ranging between 3 and 4 thousand dollars with a small discount if I subscribe to their club with a monthly fee... Which would include the rewiring for practically the whole house. And all that for hooking up a ceiling fa... I assume it was the same Paul mentioned in another review (like taking a car for an oil change and being told you need to rebuild the whole engine. This is a classical scam procedure and I don't care how many stars they have from some people they can scare with their ridiculous sales pitch.
BTW. On their flier they advertised a whole house inspection for $49, than after I called, the girl on the phone said he could come within three hours for $59 or within two hours for $79 which already sounded fishy.
Hands off is my advice.

Do not hire. Hired Dean's to help me while remodeling my home. Plumbing and electrical. The staff was friendly and they appeared reliable. On the second job I hired them for, I purchased their club membership program. Which allows for free in-home consultations and inspections. They called me to schedule an inspection on my plumbing. They called the evening of and canceled. They wanted to reschedule for June. I said sure. They never replied...
I hired them again to fix a leaking drain on my sink. They called an hour before the scheduled visit to cancel. The staff was rude and condescending over the phone. I had used vacation from work to be present for the repair. When complained about my inconvenience, the girl on the phone became snarky. I'm a busy person (like most adults) and it is important to not be jerked around. Time is money...Once they get your money, they don't seem to care about you. I wouldn't trust the company. The guys I met were nice, but they are a mess. Over priced, unprofessional, unorganized-and unreliable. $3000 for 15 feet of gas line and 3 outlets installed. You'd think they would care about their customers.

Had a backup main drain called hero to have them come out to clear. They came out ran out about 100 feet of cable did not hit much only charged 93 dollars I thought it was a pretty fair deal.
Then I had a bathtub that would not drain properly. Called hero they came out and ran a inch and quarter blade down my overhead pipe from the bath trap to the main stack a total of 12 feet and charged me 530.00 dollars. He did run a camera down the pipe which I never asked him to do and showed some corrosion it's a drain pipe there going to be some corrosion. Bottom line without all the bs it took him less than a hour to complete job. I know plumbers are not cheap but 530.00 is a RIP off will not use hero again
