Best A/C Repair in San Antonio TX
BAIT AND SWITCH. I needed an electrician for 8 hours to install several items in my new house and was given a verbal quote over the phone which was a reasonable price however after the job was done they charged me a significantly difference price which was over $500 from the original quote. Good work but bad business practices. Be wary
Response to their explanation; I'm active duty military for 24 years and would never not pay for a service that was done for me and my family. We just transferred here from California and purchased a new house. I called around S.A. for the best price electrician so when I called Bolt Electric to hire an electrician for 8 hours they gave me specific pricing over the phone which was reasonable so I booked them for a day when I would be in town. I have several issues which was not mentioned in their response.
1. They did give me different pricing over the phone than what they charged me period. Lessons learned, ask for an invoice showing what they are charging so you have it in writing before the job which I never received.
2. As far as the second electrician, the lead electrician actually told me he didn't need him to hang the high ceiling fan, at that point he should had let him go. If I knew the real cost for the second electrician I would have had him gone in a quick minute.
3. I was also kind enough to invite the electrician to eat pizza that I had bought for my flooring guys that were working on my new floors that day. If I knew the real price I was paying I would have never had him on a lunch break on my dime.
Again, the electrician did good work but make sure you get their quote in writing. They did pursue me with a lawyer for the additional money which I didn't pay them for which was for my cancelled check fee, the second electrician who didn't do what he was hired to do, and the half hour lunch break that the lead electrician was more than happy to take.
Honestly, if I had time to retain a lawyer and take what the judge would have given I would have taken my chances.

Kept trying to get someone to come out but our messages were never returned. Will have to find another company.

Had a couple problems at the homestead - old wiring and an inadequate repair job by the former owner, also an aborted fix attempt by myself left me at the mercy of a repairman.
The electrician that was sent Myles quickly realized and explained the problem. They quickly fixed it and cleaned up afterward. I would definitely use Allgood again.
I am not sure if their price was better than others but the service quality was fantastic!

I needed 3 pendant lights installed and was thankful for this no-hassle experience. They provided costs upfront, did not pressure one way or another, and were on time for the installation appointment. The electrician arrived on time and did a great job. I would use their services again!

Our water heater stopped working last night but we did not realize it till the morning. Had a plumber come out to take a look and confirmed everything was ok with the water heater (it is relatively new), and they recommended an electrician take a look. Got in touch with Stetson and had a wonderful experience from beginning to end with him. It was rather nice that they were available on the weekend and did not charge an arm and a leg for coming out on the weekend either. He figured out the issue and fixed it relatively quickly, and even addressed a couple of receptacle issues we have had. He was super nice, knowledgeable, affordable, and friendly to chat with! Would definitely use them again in the future and recommend them to anyone!

Pros: Came out within 30 mins of me calling them. The hour rate quoted on the phone was $100 plus repairs. That was $50 less than everyone else I called and none of them could make it out that day.
Cons: don't expect any kind of wiggle room on the price if it turns out that you are an idiot and never needed to call an electrician in the first place.
Let me explain. The can lights in our kitchen, recently remodeled, stopped working. For 6 months my wife and I have exclusively used one switch on the countertop to control these lights. A week ago they cut out. We had completely forgotten about the other 3-way switch in the hallway because it had been blocked by boxes and other things from the move. The switch didn't even exist in our minds. 2 seconds into the electrician coming into the house he flips the switch and I have a good laugh. Problem solved in my mind. Since he's made the trip out I ask him to take a look at some other things. My thinking being. Ok, I'm out $100 minimum for a silly mistake, let's try to knock out some other simple things. I had a ceiling fixture that needed a shallow breaker box. I hadn't been able to find one at a big box store. I asked him to quote me on that. We had some confusion at the beginning that I will give him the benefit of the doubt on. Originally i was thinking he wanted to charge me an extra $100 diagnostic fee. Plus a charge for a repair. It wasn't until I complained and we went back and forth a little that he came off the extra $100! Or I could of been reading the situation wrong and it was a misunderstanding. I specifically remember him saying it was $100 minimum per issue though. So we move on. He tells me it's $75 for the shallow breaker box. I ask him if since the other one was such a silly mistake if he could do $150. Still in my mind that's damn near highway robbery but I thought that would be doable and a nice gesture on their part since it was laughable how stupid I'd been to call them. He stays firm on the $75. I don't push the issue anymore. I let him spend 5-10 mins putting 2 screws in and run my card for $175.
Long story short. I'm an idiot. Monday's suck. I should of been an electrician. And don't expect any kind of good faith gesture in silly scenarios like this. A price is a price is a price.

Owner replies to a job that was 11 months ago!!!!
My review was pretty clear and 100% honest and accurate.
*You came in.
*Turned on a light switch (to fix a silly mistake that my wife and I missed).
*Used two screws to install a shallow breaker box that I couldn't find at Home Depot. You charged me $175.
* In my house total for probably 8 mins.
People can decide for themselves if they think that is a fair and going rate. I'm glad you have thousands of happy customers. Sorry that one of them gets a little annoyed when they feel like they just got hosed.

Provided feedback and owner responded and essentially dismissed everything I had to say. Here is his message along with my response:
Owner:
I was made aware that you took issue with work that we recently performed for you. It is my understanding that you took issue with the following:
-The motion sensor that was installed for your bedroom lights was meant to be installed for your bathroom lights
-The Nest security camera that we installed for you resulted in a bush in your back yard sustaining some minor damage.
I have spoken with the technician who did the installation and my estimator that priced this work for you. I have also reviewed the invoice. The invoice clearly states that the motion sensor was to be installed in your bedroom and you signed for the completed work. This would indicate that you were satisfied with the installation and the location / function of the motion sensor. Furthermore, the technician says that he advised you not to install the motion sensor in your bedroom. If you would like us to move the motion sensor to another location, that can be done, but at an additional cost.
After speaking with both my estimator and installing technician, we will not compensate you for damage to a bush. Your vegetation in the backyard is overgrown and both of my employees advised you that there may be some minor damage to the vegetation because of where you wanted us to mount the cameras. You indicated that would not be a problem and asked us to proceed. Again, your signature on the invoice and payment would indicate that you were satisfied with the work performed.
My response to above message:
I was NOT informed that there would be damage to my plants (see pics below) and was only informed after-the-fact, once I approached installer in the backyard during installation.
As for the bedroom light, also not correct. I directed the installer to install motion detector device in bathroom. He informed that he couldn't. At that point is when I directed to install in bedroom.
You're right, the signature represents my sign off on work performed. However, it doesn't always characterize the context of the situation. If you choose not to redress, that's fine - I'll simply share my perspective /experience in the appropriate area.
To be clear, the installer was very courteous and professional. However, soft skills doesn't always align with technical competence.
Not a five star service.

These guys are awesome! Came over with no issues to inspect my system and pointed out CO2 problem & were able to fix the system same day! Great service, great customer service, and great value! Noel & Jesse were professional, quick, and clean. Answered all my questions and were very knowledgeable about the HVAC system and explained why there was a problem & what it took to fix it. Very transparent about what they were suggesting and why. Recommend services!

Steve did a great job wiring a new outlet in my garage for my EV. Great professional service, fair price. Steve knew right away what I wanted, and what was required to do job right. A larger electrical service company quoted twice as much for the same job.

Very helpful, on time and quick service at a fair rate. They've done two jobs for us so far, these guys are my go-to electricians!

I hired Kevin to install a NEMA 14-50 outlet in my garage. He ran a conduit from the corner of my house externally to my garage. Very professional with good communication. Came up with some ideas that other electricians did not.
Excellent pricing; his quote was 1/5 of that offered by Allgood Electric. I have since recommended his services to two other people.

This business was assigned to do electric panel repairs...they called to setup time 2 days away. I explained that we have been without lights in the dining and stairs since Sunday and would he come early...all he said was to find someone else and slammed the phone down without giving me a chance to speak...would never have this business come to my home...
As an aftermath...
I called American Home Shield to inquire about my appointment. They called this business and were told that they refused service after I posted a review in the above paragraph - I posted the initial review only after the owner cancelled my work order. Steven again rudely slammed the phone down on the rep from AHS. This business is such a joke for this kind of behavior. Was this discrimination, since I am an Asian (Indian). Needless to say AHS has agreed to pursue this further.

My disposal stopped working. I asked Dan if he handled replacing a disposal. He said that I should use a licensed plumber. Even though he wasn't getting any business from me, he also provided me with a simple fix to try before replacing it. It worked!

Shopping around for electrical work was not easy. I kept getting quotes from big box electrical companies thinking that they were the only ones that could do my whole house remodel, but the prices were unreasonable and way over my project estimate for electrical.
So, I moved to support a locally owned business. I wanted someone that I could trust with my whole house remodel which included replacing all the electrical wiring including installing a new panel on my 60-year-old home.
Jeff, the Owner, did an amazing job. He was meticulous and we could not have been happier with the work that he did. When it came time for the inspection, the City Inspector was impressed with his work. He said, looks like he takes pride in his work! In addition to rewiring the whole house in the structural state, he added can lighting, and also added up-lights to the outside which gives the house a whole new look.
So, anyone looking for quality work at a reasonable price with someone you can trust to give you amazing work, please call Jeff at 360 Inspired Electrical.

We couldn't be happier with the work and service we received from Louis and his staff. Had to repair a garage outlet and install a Ring floodlight. Fast service and fair pricing.

Had a great first experience with this company. Tony Ruiz came out at 10pm to check out an issue I was having with my kitchen lights. He was very thorough and professional and I definitely appreciated the late visit because I was nervous there would be a problem while I was sleeping. He made sure everything was running like it was supposed to. Great service I will be calling this company if I ever have an issue like this again!
