I hired Mitch Perry DBA - A Christian Electrician on March 27, 2021. He started the job on March…read more30, 2021. The original estimate was $16,800 but increased to $18,246 for additional work He was to replace the 200 amp main panel in my home and 2 sub panels to my garage. Installed 3 GFI outlets in the garage. Install a center outlet for garage door opener. He was to put in 14 LED lamp lights in the garage and basement and demolish and remove several florescent fixtures. Install 3 outside motion detector LED lights with shut off switches. Replace covers to outside outlets. Install 2 8' ground rods. Replace 7 outlets in the home. Install a 22 KW fully automatic Generac Generator, install automatic transfer switch. Build a concrete pad and setup the generator. Install a cold weather kit and heavy duty batteries. Install a 220 volt 30 amp to a new electrician water heater. Mr Perry worked a total of 7 days. On 5 of these days his son worked independently between the home and garage. His sons' license as a apprentice expired in December, 2020.
Mr Perry did not finished installation of outlets and light switches in the garage. Mr Perry did not complete the main panel in the home, he did not complete the installation of lights, switches, outlets, remove florescent lights, or replace with lamp lights. He did not install outside outlets covers or replace 7 outlets in the home. He did not install 2 - 8' grounding rods. He did not purchase, deliver, or install the 22 KW Generac generator, automatic transfer switch, 3 outside motion detector lights. Mr Perry did not complete the job, he walked off the job. He argued with his son, 2 carpenters, the gas line installer, the electric water heater installer and the homeowner. He was condescending and rude to me the homeowner, a woman.
Additionally I lost $1,000 of food in my freezer due to a breaker that was off. I sent him a text informing him that all the food in the freezer had defrosted, he did not responded to my text. When he returned the next morning he turned the breaker back on failing to send me a message. When I went downstairs to my basement he attempted to blame the installer of the electric hot water heater. I was pleading with him to not speak to me anymore, that I was very upset, I lost all the food. I fled the basement as I did not want a confrontation with Mr Perry.
Mr Perry packed up this tools and all supplies bought and paid for my home and left without comment to me. I texted him the next day, he responded he could not work in a hostile environment, an environment he created. He offered to return and complete the job after stating he could not work in a hostile environment. He walked off the job. I did not want him to ever come back to my home, I requested a refund for all the incomplete work.
I have had two additional estimates, both companies have given me an estimate of 10K for everything including the generator. One company said they needed to demolish all the work Mr Perry did and start from the beginning. The other company will try to salvage the main panel, repair and complete all the unfinished work. Install a fully automatic Generac generator and automatic transfer switch. They are scheduled to do the job in May 19, 2021 more than a month after Mr Perry walked off the job.
I do not recommend Mr Perry, he is not an honest man, he is difficult to work with and argumentative.
Mr Perry was charging me $18,246 for a job that the other companies were doing for $10,000. He was charging approximately $8,246 more.
I have reported him to Angi's, the BBB, NH Elderly, disabled and abused adult services and the NH OPLC Technical Division.
