Best Power Monitoring in Charlotte NC

We called Bates for some work, after another electrician stopped showing up for the job. Pete was great very responsive, professional and took his time to a great job on our under cabinet lighting and other little electrical issues in our house. I wouldn’t hesitate to call Bates in the future.

For what they claim to be, they lack quality and professionalism

WTC Electric has the best customer service and work I have came across when I'm looking for an electrician. They put the craftsmanship in every project as it was there's.

Alfred did a job for me about two months ago, i'm just doing the review because i wanted to see, that every thing was as i liked.i am very pleased with the work he done. I had requested for a garage to be wired and a 50 amp rv receptical be installed with lights inside and one 110 recptical inside. He suggested a 110 outside and a second inside.... the two he suggeasted are the only ones i have used.so glad i took his suggestion... if i have another job i will definently give him a call .

I made an appt for a Bates technician to come do an estimate on several things in the 82yr old house I just bought. The soonest appt was 2.5wks out, but I took it anyway. I made a sooner appt with another company too. I was told when making the appt with Bates, that it would be $125/hr, so that is what I was expecting to pay. Despite the Bates fee of $125 being higher for a quote, my electrical safety concerns were great enough to want a 2nd opinion. I hadn’t received a reminder text or email for Bates to come, so I had to call back the day before to confirm. The lady confirmed the appt & reminded me again of the $125 service fee (I still only heard of $125, despite the different terminology).

The technician was on time & friendly, telling me what he suspected the quotes would be (cheaper than first company). When we were settling up, he asked if I knew it would be $250. I told him I was told $125/hr, to which he stated the customer is usually surprised at the $250 quote fee, implying that this info is not made very clear at the time of scheduling. Apparently, it’s $125/hr AND a $125 service fee, when the guy was only here for 30min! Maybe I should’ve noticed the different verbiage from the scheduler, but I’ve worked in customer service for years & many people would’ve made this mistake. I would NOT have made an appt with Bates had I known the cost of a quote. I received an email same day with my invoice, but I never received a quote. I called the next day to inquire & was told that quotes take 5-7 business days to receive! I can’t wait that long, plus another 2-3wks for another appt. I wasted an extremely valuable $250, & I am still waiting for my quote after 9 business days.

This company’s schedulers need to make it clear what exactly quote cost will be & how long it will take to receive quote. Most families cannot afford $250 for a quote. The other company cost $69 for a quote that I received same day. That’s better customer service.
