    Kapital Electric was the company source from ****** to install an Electric Charger for my ***** Bolt. Kapital Electric came out and provided me an estimate to install two chargers in my garage on a one 40-amp break circuit. Fast forward to install. The two chargers are not able to be installed on one circuit like the estimate said. Kapital Electric then advised me it would be $400.00 more to make it work. I had no other choice but to approved since I needed the chargers installed to charge my car. I did spend at least two hours with a manager on the phone stating this was not my fault, and they should have known this was not possible since they install these chargers all the time. Moving forward to inspection, and the city found my home electrical panel could not support a 40amp breaker and they do not allow two chargers on one circuit. Kapital then provided me with a $2500 estimated to be within Code. I was not happy at this point; this company did not do the load calculations correctly and wanted more money. I found another solution and ended up fixing this issue myself. I was now within code to use the 40amp and I had to remove one of the Chargers that was installed. I wanted to note, before this work was done, my panel had a 30amp and I had a charger in the garage. This work was solely to have one more charger and to charge a bit faster. In the end the $400 upcharge was not even allowed or need by code and the $1500 for the original work was for really nothing. Now I have a 40amp on one charger. All of this to go up ten amps. Also, a month later, I had to change the charger out since it stops working. Only to find out Kapital installed the charger with drywall screws and did not seal the conduit hole. This charger came with the correct installation hardware needed since it is very heavy and needed to be sealed correctly since it is outside. I contacted Kapital they are not refunding me anything. Installation was 8/22 Second visit 10/11/22 This day was $400 added

    I initially reached out to Kapital in Fall of 2022 about a solar installation. They initially described a potential April 2023 installation. I had various delays in the process, but ultimately in December of 2023 I had a functional system. I was particularly frustrated with the lack of communication, miscommunication, and errors that led me to miss the Spring to Fall 2023 solar production season. I compiled a timeline below based on my emails to the company. I felt like I was stuck with Kapital and could not back out of the process due to the financial downpayment (10%) and there were red flags I wish I could have responded to. When I reached out to Kapital for comment, I was met apologetically by several of the staff. However, ***, the *** suggested I was finger-pointing. He suggested I blame ComEd or the ***************. The bottom line is I did not pass my first two inspections, and that was preventable. In addition, they wasted three months of planning on the front end. I would suggest looking elsewhere for solar and/or car charging needs. When my car charger was installed in my garage, the electricians disconnected my garage door from the opener to protect their tools while they ran for supplies. This broke my garage door, and the situation escalated to *** the *** who denied that his workers were at fault. In the end my wife had to instruct them how to fix it. His comment upon solar completion was that "unfortunately things happen." In the end I have a functional system, but the experience was horrendous. ***'s customer service as the *** is despicable. He had the audacity to deflect blame and account for errors, some of which I have email evidence are directly attributable to him, without ever personally being to my house to see or supervise installation.A summary timeline is included in my ****** review
