Comments: I cannot say enough good things about Dean, Anthony, Zack, and Katie at Bolt Electric 443 Interstate Court, Sarasota, FL 34240 941-888-8111. If there is an example for outstanding customer service, this company exemplifies it.

I bought a house that the homeowner had done their own work "just enough knowledge to be dangerous" and I needed help quickly as I'm in the process of selling my home out of state. Katie listened to what I needed, got Dean scheduled ASAP and the work was scheduled for the following week.

Anthony and Zack came on time and got the job done! Every step was explained in my language, not tech-speak and I am very grateful for their prompt service, their outstanding customer service, and their dedication to ensuring my home is safe.

Work Description: Switches/Outlets/Fixtures - Repair

Comments: The electrician spent 20, maybe 30 minutes, working on our electric panel; charged almost 1,000 dollars and left. Whatever he did, DID NOT FIX the problem. I had to wait 3 days before someone was scheduled to return. As of this writing (10am Monday) I have yet to hear from Bolt.

AMENDED REVIEW
After they sent a more experienced electrician they knew what the issue was as the previous electrician had put the worn out parts back in panel and the other electrician that came back replaced with new ones and working fine now

Work Description: $1,000 for 4 Smoke Detectors

Comments: PALM HARBOR, Fla. (WFLA) - The family of an 89-year-old Palm Harbor woman is questioning a more than $1,010 charge for four smoke alarms.

Dorothy Ahlquist says she called Sarasota-based Bolt Electric because two smoke alarms started beeping in the middle of the night.The technician told her she needed to replace all four alarms. She says the estimate showed a price of $249.

She claims it wasn't until the work was done, and she paid her final bill, that she learned it was $249 each. Her daughter, Karen, tells Better Call Behnken she has looked up the model number of the alarm and found them for as little as $8 bucks each and as high as $35, on average.

"She's 89 years old," Ahlquist said. "I think they were taking advantage of her and I told them that, and they just didn't care."

The alarms are battery backup with minor installation.

Ahlquist's daughter, Karen Panarelli, says she called other companies and got estimates for around $250. She then called Bolt to complain and offer the same amount. They balked, she said. So Ahlquist canceled her check and hoped the owner would return her calls to work something out.

But this week, she received a Notice of Intent to Lien, unless she pays the full amount due, plus a $50 charge for a bounced check.

When asked about that, a Bolt representative said Ahlquist committed "check fraud" by canceling the check. She added that the price she was charged is the same as they charge everyone.

Better Call Behnken called other electricians and received similar quotes of around $250 for the same job. Some said different companies charge different amounts, depending on their overhead, but they thought $1,000 sounded high.

We've emailed the owner of Bolt Electric but have not heard back yet.
We appreciate your concern. This was an unfortunate human error, and we have been in touch with the customer and corrected the situation.
