Father and Son Electric Service

I was just going to move on but since they have emailed me 3-4 times in the past month for an appointment on Jan 15 2018.. I guess I should share my brief experience. The positive is the technician showed up quickly.. They have a policy that they will charge you $200 the moment they commence looking at your project. And they even go as far to disclaim that there is a chance they will not be able to perform the task you need and that you will still have to pay the $200. This routine seems pretty rehearsed and probably has been required by some attorney.

My technician looked at the front door light fixture and sure enough said it needed to be replaced and there was nothing he could do.. but that he would be happy to come back out to charge me another $200 to install the fixture once I have purchased it.

The lesson here is if you have any light fixture that you think is faulty.. the best plan is to go to Lowe’s/Home Depot/etc. and purchase a replacement.. they usually come with the installation. If it turns out the project doesn’t require the new fixture, you just return it. But at least you will have a reliable electrician that comes with the Lowe’s/ Home Depot stamp of approval who will assess your needs and not Overcharge you for what amounts to a 2 minute decision that they couldn’t help you.

I don’t like writing bad reviews but perhaps this will teach the Father and Son to use more discretion which previous clients to hound for public feedback.

The electricians themselves are great, the owner and secretary are unprofessional. The warranty is a joke and they will charge you a service fee and hourly rate even if the product/job is under warranty. We spent a lot of money with them on a reno and then they charged service fees to come fix their faulty work that was under warranty. The electrician who is their employee even had to go to bat for us and argue that we should not be paying anything. Part of the hourly charge we were charged for included the electrician going to the store to grab a part. We paid our fees and thanked the electrician, but we will never be using them again. The customer does not come first with this company.

Could not be happier with the service. Had a small electrical fire which disabled half of my house electrically. Called 15 to 20 electricians. No one could come out said they were all too busy. Father and son said they were booked but would try to get somebody out as soon as possible. Within 20 minutes they had called me with a free electrician who came out immediately. He assessed the problem fixed it and was gone in record time. I highly recommend Father and son electrical for any electrical needs. pricing was fair. I would have paid 223 times what they charged to get this service taken care of. Very happy with my service.

Father and Sons Electric are extremely proficient and honest. I was given a quote over the phone and once the job was done was charged exactly what was quoted. The electrician was early for the appointment, very polite and explained everything he was going to do. He did the job in a timely manner and cleaned up after himself when the job was complete. I have used Father and Sons Electric previously for lighting installation and they will continue to be my go to company if I am in need of an electrician.

Awesome experience and will use them for all future projects. Technicians arrived on time. They discussed project with me and then proceeded to cover my hard wood floors to protect from damage. They installed two ceiling fans (one about 25 feet) and several light fixtures, including a fixture that was located about 25feet up. Because they had to use a very tall ladder they took care to move furniture, protect the floors and were careful not to damage the walls. Both young men (Cody and Robert) were very professional and polite. When they completed their work they cleaned up. The pricing for the work was very reasonable and I feel comfident that I will not experience any electrical or other issues.

SCAMMERS! AVOID THIS COMPANY. Was quoted $95 hourly rate on the phone, and described the job in detail, providing my address. Electrician arrived and didn't have the parts needed to complete the job. Said he would have to charge us 2 hours labor in order to go back and get the parts needed. Electrician asked my husband to leave work and go get the parts needed. I called the office to talk about the lack of preparedness and was told they would discount the hourly rate (which she jacked up to $125) back down to the $95 I was originally quoted. They were counting on us moving forward due to a time crunch, but fortunately, we had some wiggle room in the schedule and sent these scammers packing.

The lady and older guy who handle the scheduling are very straightforward, if not a little grumpy. However, the actual electrician who came out was nice enough and seemed to know what he was doing. He did a nice job installing some lights and cleaned up when he was done. I was charged $85 on top of the quote I got, which I was not thrilled about, but at least the job was done right. Overall it seems to be a decent company.

I used Father and Son Electric for help installing wiring for 4 ceiling fans in my 1970s home. Their technician, Michael Mixon, showed up on time, and had everything that he needed to get the job done, and done quickly. He even installed the fans for us once the wiring was in place. Their rates were reasonable, and everyone I spoke to before and during the service call was knowledgeable and friendly. Michael talked with me at length about a number of things related to the electrical system in our house. He was not trying to upsell me on anything, he was simply providing a much needed and much appreciated education on a critical home system. We have a few other wiring projects coming up, and will absolutely be using them in the near future to complete these. Thanks for everything. Michael earned every star on this 5 star rating!

We called Father and Son for an issue with our power being out on half of the house. The electrician showed up and told us that he could not fix the issue because the panel was too old. We also had no power to the pool pump and pool house which is on a different panel all together, he could not find the problem! We had another company come an hour later and fixed all issues in a matter of minutes. Father and Son electric charged us almost $300 for NOTHING except to say they could not fix the issues!! When I expressed my displeasure to the owner saying we paid you almost $300 and received nothing in return his response was we gave you our time. BEWARE!!!!

Contacted them cause we kept tripping a break while moving wires to install a fan. Turns out it was a safety code thing and question answered right out the gate.

Roman our tech volunteered to install the fan for us while there since already paying for the rest of the 55 minutes in the hour. Also installed the second for us. Good clean work and helpful willingness to do work not listed in the original call, and not say OK I answered your question. That'll be $95, bye.

Be careful using the people. They claim to be Christians but they cheated my elderly mother. They charged her almost $200 to come to her house to do a repair and did nothing. When I called the owner he used profanity and hung up the phone. He did call me back and said his people would fix the issue. That was more than a month ago. They take advantage of the elderly... do you really want them in your home?....

Tried to get them to come and and give me a quote on a job, all they wanted to do was charge me 95.00/hr. Didn't want to look at the job couldn't tell me how long it would take, after some begging he asks...where are you again? I repeat my address a second time (6 miles from their office) oh! your out of our area. Click... I guess they make too much $$$

Had 3 prewired ceiling fans installed by mike. The whole was done fast and efficient with total respect for us and our home. Mike is a true professional with an for detail. Would definitely us Father and Son again and of course request Mike, in fact thinking about having a few more fans installed.

Tried to call to get assistance with resolving an electrical issue. First call as I was introducing myself I got hung up on, second call the receptionist was very rude and rushed me off of the phone because she was on an important business call. I've always worked customer service and the customer always comes first, unacceptable treatment.

I can honestly tell you by reading all of these reviews that this guy is exactly as they say. He will get mad if you don't do what he wants you to do and just hang on you. That's not the way business is conducted folks. And he is very high on prices. $95 a hour is crazy... I have overhead and I don't charge but $70 an hour. The owner Ron is not a good business man

Their electrician, Luis, stopped by to do some rewiring for me. He was very professional and level headed, giving me a great quote and honoring it.  He was also on time, which was something I had never experienced with an electrician. The job was great, as was the correspondence throughout.  This is my electrician from here on out.

Below is a picture of the flashing at the mast head. When brought to the electrician's attention, it was repaired (somewhat). Anyone who installs mast heads needs to know how to install the roof flashing that goes with it. Recommendation for improvement. Overall, from what I can see it was a good job. Got a quick quote. Company go the job done quickly. Lots of communication from the office staff about scheduling. Thanks.

Serg was very professional and did outstanding quality work at a reasonable price. I won't hesitate to call Father & Son for future electrical needs. Highly recommended.

Adam was great. He explained everything and walked me thru the entire process. Because of this experience I would definitely hire Father and Son Electric again and recommend them to everyone.

Have used them in the past and have always had great service. Today they installed security lights in our back yard which makes me very happy. Would highly recommend them.

Excellent customer service. Electrician came in the afternoon as I requested. The electrician replaced a circuit breaker and repaired a damaged wire. He cleaned the working area before leaving.

Roman was very knowledgeable, efficient & pleasant. If I ever need electrical service in the future, Father & Son Electric will be my first call.

Electrician Bobby listened to what I wanted to accomplish and gave me alternatives, one of which was a great common sense solution that saved me money

Staff is professional and a pleasure to work with. Would definitely use them again in the future.

Great service and fair prices. Gives email confirmation and receipts.

Pricing was more then fair, and great customer services.

They are idiots
