              Complaint Type:
              Billing Issues
              Status:
              Resolved
              On Friday (10/21) afternoon, an electrician from Thomas Edison Electric visited my home due to a loss of power in my apartment. The dispatcher charged a $125 fee, and when the electrician came in I was asked to accept charges for $1,019 (a total invoice of $1,134). He was very professional and power is back, but there was no damage or need to repair --the breaker was loose and he tightened it in less than 15 minutes. When the electrician finished the assessment he noticed that no repair was needed. However, the charges were not reassessed. I am not a homeowner and I rent my apartment. The cost of this visit is 1.3 times the cost of my monthly rent. My landlord will not reimburse due to unreasonable charges. Moreover, I was charged commercial building pricing, but the power outage was on my residential unit. I am attaching the invoice for review.

              Great job. Exactly what I wanted done. Got new service line from breaker box to meter and to main service line all done in conduit. Price was reasonable and it looks great.
