Best Tub Wiring in Houston TX

Had an appointment for Wednesday 5/11 to install a whole house surge protector. They called around noon to tell me they would not be able to meet the appointment and would have to reschedule. Rescheduled for Friday 5/13. Technician shows up and has no idea what I need done even though I explained that when I made the original appointment. Technician wasn’t sure he had the part on his truck but found one. Tells me the job will cost $ 1651.00. I showed him the exact same part at Lowe’s that cost $ 100.00. It takes an hour at the most to install. I told him to have a nice day. I could have saved Abacus a call and myself two wasted days of waiting for a technician if they would have given me an estimate. I guess this is how Abacus pays for that expensive TV and radio advertising. I have a licensed electrician coming Monday to this installation. Estimated cost $ 250.00.Update: Actual cost by licensed electrician was $ 245.00. The only thing you can count on is this company ripping you off.
