Best HVAC Duct in Jacksonville FL
There are few polite words one can find to describe Thompson Electric, their shoddy work, destruction to personal property with impunity, inability to show up, repeated lies and screaming from the owner. We will be formally reporting this deeply unsafe and fraudulent work to the Department of Business and Professional Regulation and State Attorney General's Office.
Thompson was hired to run one wire from breakers already installed for the purpose. After weeks of tearing up our yard with an unguided ditch witch from a separate side of the house, thousands of dollars in irrigation damage, not showing for random weeks at a time or leaving equipment in our driveway without
any communication, and tying into breakers already being used for a different purpose - this crew cobbled together a bunch of wire using wire caps that aren't even to code indoors let alone safe in water. So...when the exposed jumped wire contacts some water, you don't need to be an electrical engineer to know it ain't gonna work. (P.S. Pictures to prove it). In fact, when Fred (that's the owner who calls and screams at you even when you're pleading for him to calm down) was made aware of this and the non-functioning electric we overpaid for, he said that we were Monday morning quarterbacking and when told their work wouldn't pass code (after needing to be educated that water and electric don't work well together) he said that it *would* if they went out to our property and fixed that. Good one.
Still, Fred says it's our fault because: they didn't bid the project right and, in an ode to the death of logic, they spent a lot of time at our place (though he also claims it was just one day of work)? Bid seemed more than sufficient, workmanship and general decency, not so much. I mean, it's not like I way paying for functioning and safe electric - I should be grateful to fork over thousands for them to tear up my property with no useful result.
Still, before lauding his time at Rotary in 2006, Fred Thompson's website touts their supposedly excellent bidding abilities: We have over 30 years of combined estimating experience. That means the job gets done right the first time, within budget! But, in private when he can scream at you when he thinks there are no witnesses, he acknowledges they don't know how to bid which, as you may have sensed a theme, is the customer's fault.
My husband hired these guys so when Fred or whoever comes on here to claim this isn't a real review 1. It's under Brian and 2. We have pictures. Lots of pictures, security footage, and documentation to present to the Department. Also, just look at how they harass any criticis.
What a shameful way to run a business. To think that these guys are running electric in our schools (according to their website)?! I now know this business is on several major companies' no hire list in town for a reason, FYI.
STAY AWAY!!!
P.S. Fred, got a quote for boring under a driveway - $15 per foot, not $15,000 as you screamed on the phone because your guys instead tried a hose on 20 years worth of tree roots for days (again not one day job).
===
Update - This morning (2/10 - the day after Fred insisted they did nothing incorrectly and after posting this review) one of the electricians showed up at our home around 7:45am without any advance notice. The job hired for will *not* be fully completed but, after months, maybe this can be repaired in less time without further damage. ?♂️
====
Update - I stand by each and every claim and I'm happy to continue sharing the truth. A fake invoice made to look as though the job was completed on one day and childish bullying from a grown man hardly inspires good will. Fred didn't even have the courage to ask me to remove my review like he falsely claims. Instead, he literally handed me an envelope, with a smile on his face, containing a letter riddled with lies and the fake invoice mentioned earlier that he *instructed* me to deliver to my husband. How do you think he will treat your family or business looking at his responses?

I had the most pleasant experience with Strada and it breaks my heart to read the bad reviews that I have seen on here. I had two techs come out to my new house and both of them were phenomenal! Kenneth and Danny were extremely professional and such a joy to deal with. I would hands down recommend them to anyone in need of service work. Thank you guys again for a job well done!
