“Bait and Switch,” “Predatory Pricing, ” and “Gouging,” — Mr. Electric of Seattle employs all of these horrible tactics. They charge a diagnostics fee just to show up on site ($89+tax), but when they arrive, the basic diagnostics fee suddenly became nearly $500 and the $89 was just to show up. Replacing a single outlet was a fixed price job, but the fixed price was about 4x what you’d pay a better-trained independent electrician. The attached photo shows the new “basic diagnostic” fee, including the member price that they will grant you if you sign up to pay them a subscription. “Give us money often, and we’ll screw you slightly less!” Then they start piling on the extras, like verbally suggesting another $500 to verify their own fix. When you push back, you get the, “It costs the company $500 just to send me out here, and my time is worth $250-500 an hour.” It got so ridiculous that I fired him on the spot, sent him away, and ate the $89+tax show-up fee. An independent electrician will do the same job better for a fraction of the cost that Mr. Electric wanted, with the same warranty. Please avoid these predatory tactics and instead call a local, independent electrician. To cap it off, he put a “Mr. Electric” sticker on our breaker panel before being authorized to do any work, and without asking us first. Look at their snarky responses to poor reviews below, like, “Thank you for the review of services you did not use,” when a reviewer complained about their shifty pricing. Their unprofessional, defensive responses to critical feedback are an indicator of the lack of integrity at Mr. Electric that caused my poor experience today. I hope my experience saves you the time and money I wasted on Mr. Electric today. UPDATED: With $1K on the screen in the attached photo, and Mr. Electric talking about another $1K+ to complete the job, I fired him and with with another electrician. Here’s a link to my review of them. Compare and contrast with the above, and I got it done the following day for about 1/3rd of what Mr. Electric was trying to extort us for! https://maps.app.goo.gl/D62m7swsNQXcYT837

Chris did a great job removing power from an old shed, and installing a new outlet in the kitchen. He also gave advice and quotes on other recommendations. He was thorough with his explanations and was very nice. I will definitely use this company again for future electrical needs!
