Thomas Edison Electric Price Gouging Philadelphia Internet

This company is definition of PRICE- GOUGING! I had a breaker that needed to be replaced. I called their emergency service at 9pm on Aug 15th, an electrician named Patrick arrived at 11pm. I knew up front it would cost $195 for him to show up (OK , it was an emergency) ...however the company refused to estimate the repair cost on the phone. Patrick arrives and says it will be $320 to "asses" the problem, after he already confirmed  it was the breaker as soon as he saw it; then he says it will cost $820 to replace the 100 amp breaker!!! $1300+ to replace a $50 breaker. When I said no thank you, he offered 10% off...I offered to pay him $300 to fix it...he said he was worth much more than that. I sat in the heat/dark all night and got an honest, top-rate professional to fix it in the morning for $250. Only after the fact did I read the numerous complaints against this dishonest company. CBS Philly even did a TV segment about them: http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2015/02/25/3-on-your-side-big-repair-bills-from-thomas-edison-electric/
