The internet and electrical outlets stopped working at our home after the recent storm and power…read moreoutage. I called VP Electric to rescue us, and they did not disappoint. Service Technicians, Allen and Garrett, arrived at our home on time, and immediately honed in on what was causing the electrical outlet problem inside our home. Allen found 2 electric outlets on our lanai that were completely corroded due to the recent storm. Upon cleaning out and completely replacing the corroded outlets, the power to the previously non- functioning outlets inside our home became fully restored. Allen and Garrett then installed outlet covers to protect the outlets on our lanai from the same corrosion problem happening again in the future. Last but not least, Allen addressed our downed internet service. He installed a new router we provided him, and got our internet service back up and running. Yay! Allen and Garrett proved to be experienced electrical pros, and delivered friendly, expert service. In summary, I look forward to patronizing VP Electric for our future electrical contractor needs.

I hired this company to diagnose and repair my commercial oven. My oven is at home at the moment. I…read morecalled to schedule an appointment and was told there was a travel fee of $185 +20 for an extra 4 miles, I was OK with that. The couple that came was husband and his wife joined, since it was at my home. They spent several hours diagnosing and I was told I needed to replace the motor, I ordered the motor and called the company back to schedule an appointment to install my motor. I heard back a week later via a voice message which started with "I am married "which is creepy unprofessional, and very uncomfortable so I kept my distance while Rod was installing the motor. I would normally watch to make things were doing done properly. Rod finished installing the motor and left four screws out! I asked where do they belong no answer! I sent emails complaining about the screws and they just brushed me aside and will not acknowledge the problem. I explained that it's similar to not securing the footings when you're building a home. My bill for diagnosing was $266 which Rod and his wife Tamy said, included their time, I paid the bill. The bill for installing the motor was $428.09 one person 45 minutes, there seems to be a major discrepancy financially here. This was one of the most uncomfortable, nonprofessional companies I've ever dealt with and Jamie . The office manager is a bully to boot. I really don't want to pay them a penny however, I will pay them something but certainly the fee they're asking for which they did not tell me upfront. I've been trying to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau to resolve this matter. However, the website is down. I will not give up.
