This is the first negative review I have ever written about any company;
Green Line Electric was hired by the contractor that installed my septic system. Their work consisted of running a new electrical circuit for the pump to the drain field. First, their crew ran a 15 amp circuit for a pump that was clearly labeled as drawing 17 amps. The L & I inspector caught the error and told me that he would note that on the permit and Green line would have to come back and upgrade the circuit to 20 amps. 7 WEEKS later I received a call from their office that the L & I inspector will need to come back and have access to the electrical panel to perform the needed repeat inspection.
I was told that they are very busy and are currently scheduling work three weeks out and that is why it took so long to fix their error.
Needless to say, the L & I inspector was very upset to see that it took them so long to fix the problem.
After everything was done, I went online and downloaded the installation manual for this particular pump alarm and found that it recommends that the alarm be wired with two circuits...one for the pump and a separate circuit for the alarm. So, they installed a poo pump that can draw as much at 17 amps on a 15 amp circuit. If the pump had tripped the breaker, no alarm would sound, as the pump was on the same circuit that is now popped. We would have continued to flush the toilets, and take showers until effluent backed up into the house.
If they were this incompetent when installing something as simple AND important as a sewage pump I would never trust them with anything electrical.
