Mister Sparky tried to make me purchase something I didn't need Miami Florida

I requested an estimate because the outlets in my son's room were not working.

Instead of the tech telling me what was wrong & how much it was going to cost me to fix it (which is what an estimate is)....the tech claimed the following:

...that he did not know the exact cause & that he would have to replace every outlet in the entire home just to be sure that this didn't happen again because it could be any outlet in the house that makes my son's room trip.  The grand total was approximately $1000.

GOSH....I just wanted to get my son's outlets working...the rest of the house was working completely fine.

When he saw the look on my face, he offered me options. He offered me to replace the outlets in 3 or 4 rooms.  Again the cost was in the hundreds.

I kept reminding him that I only wanted to know what the problem was & how much it was going to cost me to fix the outlets in the one room.

I also kept reminding him that I am a single mother taking care of two small children & do not have excess funds to replace every single outlet in the home (when they were working fine).  WHY FIX SOMETHING IF IT IS NOT BROKEN.

There was no getting through to this guy.

He gave me my quotes, I payed him the service fee for coming out to do absolutely nothing & couldn't wait to get him out of my home.  I gave him a cheque.  He took 10 minutes of my time to deposit the cheque in my home & would not leave my premises until the cheque was deposited.  He made me feel completely uncomfortable & it was demeaning in some ways.  

I paid for a quote but not for a quote of what I needed done.

This is terrible service.  A complete rip off.  He wanted me to spend approximately $1000 to fix something that wasn't broken & could not even give me a straight answer as to what the problem was.

My neighbour came over & said my breaker kept tripping. He secured the breaker & the problem was solved.

WATCH OUT FOR THIS COMPANY.

This guy was not even nice.
