Ripped off!

So we're having some electrical work done on the house, and we've had a few people out to do estimates. Most electricians will do this for free.

But, someone came out to the house today and then CHARGED me for the estimate!!!!! $50.00!!!!!

My husband had called them, so I thought they'd told him about the charge and he decided to accept it. Shame on me for making that assumption, shame on him for not answering my calls or my page to confirm.

At least I had the presence of mind to put it on my credit card, so we can dispute the charge.

Oh, and his quote was more than twice as much as anyone else's.

If you live in or around Fairfield County, CT, PM me and I'll tell you who NOT to use for your electric or plumbing.
