    Quality Residential Electrical - Successful GFCI!

    Quality Residential Electrical

    I found Chris via Yelp when I had a wall that start buzzing when I turned on a light switch,…read morecoupled with a three way switch that wasn't behaving normally anymore. No one I knew had any recommendations, so I contacted a few electricians on Yelp because I didn't know where to start. He responded quickly and was EXTREMELY helpful, talking to me on several calls to give an estimate and initial troubleshooting ideas, including suggestions for what to tell my building's engineer in case I opted to have the engineer try to fix it first. He had me send photos of my electrical panel and he mentioned the brand of breakers I had (Challenger) are known to be problematic and hazardous, so he suggested that I have them swapped out when I have the lightswitch fixed. He said my building engineer could probably do it if I preferred that, which would be less expensive. Because my building just changed maintenance/engineering companies earlier this year and I don't really know or trust the new engineer yet, I wanted to have an electrician do this to make sure it was done correctly. I was impressed by his Yelp reviews, Angie's List reviews, and BBB rating, so I hired him. Chris was super easy to work with to schedule the appointment, and he gave me a 2 hour window for when he'd arrive (and as it approached, he called/texted to update me on a more exact ETA). I ended up having him replace all my breakers, and he also replaced the three light switches that were faulty. He also swapped out my hardwired smoke detector, since my old one was past its prime. I pre-purchased the breakers and detector since I had a few days' lead time, so he only charged me for the switches and his time (which was spot-on with the estimate he gave me over the phone). He also went up on my roof when he saw the breaker for my AC unit seemed to not make sense for the size of my apartment, and sure enough it was not what the AC unit sticker said it should be. So he replaced that one with the correct amperage, which reduces the strain on the AC Unit (so it doesn't get damaged) and reduces the risk of a fire. He also found some problems with my building's roof and some building wiring that was exposed up there, which he photographed and sent to me so I could pass it along to the board and management company for them to handle. Chris is a super nice guy, and he was great at explaining what was wrong and what needed to be fixed without upselling me. I'm someone who stresses out about anything home maintenance because I'm terrified of something going tragically wrong, so I appreciated the info he shared. I've already recommended him to my neighbors in our building's facebook group, and I will definitely hire him again for any other electrical work I may need. (I may eventually get my life together and replace some ceiling light fixtures and install a fan. While in theory I could do it myself, I'd rather not accidentally electrocute myself. Plumbing and electric are the two things I don't mess around with, even for simple fixes).

    Chris is very experienced and knowledgeable. Highly recommended for even the most complicated…read moreelectrical problems

    Fixer

    Fixer

    I was absolutely ecstatic to find out that Fixer had new owners and the company would live on. The…read morehandiman I worked with a couple of years ago was great, and their team came in handy for research on other projects. I recommended Fixer often (until I found out the company closed). I could not be more disappointed in the company's policy and concierges now. Although Fixer charges at least $150 more than six other estimates I got, I kept thinking, "But I know their work. I should just pay the higher rate." I was still hesitating because even their higher estimate sounded like it could increase based on the reason for the repair. When I read the Terms & Conditions policy on their website, there was nothing about a warranty on there. I decided to move on and seriously talk to the other six contractors who were contacting me. But the concierge followed up about my original request. I explained that the company having no warranty made me nervous because I could end up stuck paying for a job that needs to be redone. They heard me out and agreed to a one-year warranty as long as it was their workmanship. Although I still winced at the invoice just linking to their website where they could change the terms again any time they felt like it, I seriously considered them again. They confirmed that they would not match the price of one of the six contractors (who I decided not to work with because his LLC and invoice was sketchy). Fast forward to ONE DAY LATER and me realizing I could fix one repair myself (after speaking with another homeowner) and completing it yesterday evening. I decided to go ahead and hire them for the other, more-involved job. If the job was more expensive, so be it. At least I knew it would be with a company I could trust. And somehow, even though I agreed to THEIR higher rate and the potential that it could be higher, they backtracked on their own warranty agreement. It's like I'm being punished for having the audacity to shop around for cheaper contractors and having the wherewithal to fix one repair by myself. Shame on me, I suppose. After a bunch of back and forth and them backtracking on their own DOCUMENTED price that I'd already sent to the insurance company, I threw in the towel. I will hire someone else. I'm not about to beg a company to pay them. I miss Old Fixer. New Fixer leaves much to be desired.

    Truly a garbage company…read more You would think that a company offering repair services at a set price per hour and easy scheduling would be a dream come true. Absolutely not. I booked Fixer to do multiple repairs on my home as I recently moved to another state and was preparing my home for a new tenant. The Fixer that was assigned to my home was: 1) awful at communication to my property manager 2) bypassed nearby hardware stores and took over an hour to "shop" which cost me $140 alone. 3) I had to cancel the other jobs I scheduled because at the rate he was going the 1-2 hr estimation jumped to 5-6 hrs which would've cost more than originally planned 4) the contractor disclosed to my property manager that he was unlicensed (Fixer advertises on their website that contractors were licensed) 5) Didn't even finish the 1 job he had before he left. I was charged nearly $440 for unfinished work for 1 job. It wasn't until I reached out to Fixer via email to figure what actually happened since it wasn't communicated. They explained to me that it was actually a two-day job and the Fixer would have to return. When were they going to tell me that? And I booked this service on that particular day for a reason because of the limited availability to have someone on-site for hours while we're not there. They gave me two options after I expressed my dissatisfaction and frustration: 1) they'll charge me a prorated rate for the unfinished work or 2) they'll come back at another time to finish the work and I won't be charged for the 2nd day which I really didn't have a choice but to choose. I couldn't leave the work unfinished or I'd have to find and pay someone else to finish their trash work on top of paying Fixer. The only ways to speak with this company is via text or email. If you call the number they ask you to text, it only gives you an option to leave a message and never an opportunity to speak to a representative. The customer service is truly ridiculous. Finally, when I could have someone on-site for a full day, I went to schedule a time to have the work completed and was told I had to pay the full amount prior to having a Fixer return to finish what they originally left undone! They are scheduled to come in a few weeks and I pray to God that my experience isn't as awful as the first. Maybe my experience was an one-off but I would never ever utilize this company's services again after this job is complete. Ever.

    We headed to the supercharger at Rolling Hills, Illinois for the promised 250 kW chargers. When we…read moregot there we saw that there are 12 stalls labeled as 250 kW and 10 that are labeled as 150 kW. We parked in one of the 250 kW stalls and plugged in. We sat in anticipation of the soothing hum of a fast charge. This is where the unfortunate 3 stars comes into the picture. Our maximum charging speed was100 kW and 352 mi/ hr. We were puzzled by this anemic output. The charge would get the job done but take a lot longer than expected for a 250 kW charger. We went down to the end of the line of charging stalls where another Tesla was charging. He told us that he charged here often and the center most chargers in the bank of 250 kW chargers always had a lower output. The ones on the end seems to be consistently higher and that he was getting 221 kw while we were speaking to him. Local knowledge comes in handy or read the Yelp reviews before plugging in, and try to park on the end of the 250 kW chargers at this location.

This location is close to a ton of dine in places such as Five Guys, Panera Bread, Jimmy Johns, Starbucks, Gabutto burger, Potbellys, Noodles & Company, Arbys, Buona beef, Pita Pita, and so on and so on. You can also grab some stuff at the local convenience store connected to the Meijer gas station. It is located in the Meijer parking lot usually with tons of open spaces. It's easy access back into I90 as well as I290.
