The Wire Nut

I want to pre-​warn all people that are trying to use this company. It’s a horrible way to run a business. I called in to find out how much is it to wire up a timer switch to replace a toggle switch. Literally 3 wire hookup. I specifically told them that what needs to be done. They told me it was a simple fix and service charge will be $ 59 if its simple to hook up. Once they got here they opened a book showing the cost to what was quoted and the pricing was absurd! I feel like I got totally ripped off cause at the end it would of cost me more then $ 300 just to replace a switch. Really a light switch?! I will definately will not referring anyone nor suggest them to anyone I know. They have a customer service department that does not know any pricing. Wish they were a little more thorough of telling customers that the pricing will start at this price which is $ 240 for a basic repair. Instead of having them go out to your place and collect $ 59 from each customer after showing there basic pricing. Straight scammed!

Extremely expensive! $ 59 for the visit to give you an estimate.
$ 700 dls to replace an HDMI cable on top of the fireplace,
And another $ 700 to add an electrical outlet on a niche. $ 400 dls to replace a kitchen lamp with a vaulted ceiling. I got another electrician that replace the HDMI cable and added the outlet for $ 300. They will come back with a high ladder to replace my kitchen lamp.

Way too expensive for services provided. I made an appointment one week in advance, and when I followed up, they seemed to think that all of a sudden it was a rush job, and evidently charged me accordingly. The tech couldn’t get the thermostat installed and working, and had no interest in reading the instruction book; so I had to call customer tech support for the thermostat (ecobee). The tech was just not very impressive.

Absolute scam. They scare you with doom and gloom to get you worried to pay for their diagnosis. 15 minutes later your system is fixed. I wish I made $ ⁴⁰⁰⁄₁₅ minutes.

Not sure if this review will show up. Unilocal seems to hide my reviews under not recommended. I would advise to read the not recommended.
My thermostat would work. They sent out techn. I have their maintenance plan. So he comes out and says I have have to buy a new AC unit costing thousands to dollars. What??? I said why can’t I just buy a new thermostat? He says it might not work. After pressuring him that is NOT an option. He scratches his head and says well maybe I can shut it down and turn it on again. It literally took 5 minutes. Then all of the sudden my AC works!!!
What a nut!!! Then he tells me it is going to cost $ 400. I told him I have the maintenance plan and the lady told me it was part of the plan. After pressuring him again (believe me I was yelling at him like a crazy lady!!) he said ok just pay me $ 69. Because I wanted him to leave I gave him $ 69. Even though we have the maintenance plan we will not be using them. I bet they just need one person to believe them to make profits, don’t be that loser who trusts these people!

Technician came to my house and quoted me between $ 300 and $ 400 per hour for a HDMI cable replacement job. When I told him it was too much, he said that was the going rate and good luck finding a «licensed and certified» technician to do the same work for less. Needless to say, I found several places that can do the same job and landed on one «licensed and certified» company that completed the work for ¹⁄₃ the price at $ 125/​hour. In addition, the company I ended up going with helped me find a better solution that will help me avoid a similar problem in the future, something the Wire Nut technician never thought to suggest (though the Wire Nut tech did try to sell me on items I didn’t ask for or need). When I called to complain about the price I was quoted, I was told a manager would call me back. No call ever came.

They were professional and got everything done in a timely manner. Had a few issues as this is an older home but quickly had issues resolved.

I had an appointment scheduled a week in advance. At the appointed date and time they called and wanted to reschedule for a week later. No thanks.

They responded immediately on a Sunday night during the biggest storm of the season. Diagnosed the problem, gave us temporary power for the night and finished the entire job in 2 days. They kept us informed, updated and gave us an estimate before starting any work. Thanks to all concerned in our service!”

I scheduled my appointment for a week out. They called, the day before my appointment, and told me that they would be out between 9 – 11. So, of course, I took time off of work to be home… big mistake.
I get a call at 10:20 that they’ll be 45 minutes late, so I say, «No problem.» Then, I get a call 20 minutes after that saying they don’t know when they’ll be there. I told the gal that I had to cancel meetings at work to sit home and wait for them and all I got was, «Sorry.»
Someone should tell these people that electricians are a dime-​a-​dozen.

I used The Wire Nut once before and had a suspicion that they were egregiously expensive, but they did the work I needed same day, so I didn’t think much about it. A year later and I needed some switches, outlets, and lights moved to make room for some new cabinets so I called Wire Nut. They came, the guy was professional, but his estimate (which I paid $ 99 for) was for either $ 2,883 or $ 3,283 depending on if I wanted all of the work done or just some of it. I had another electrician come out and they did all of the work, on a Saturday, for $ 450. I will never use Wire Nut again, as they are at least 7X more expensive (i.e. Über Surge Pricing).

Fantastic. They were prompt, quick, and even cleaned up after! How awesome is that???

OMG, I’m pissed that I didn’t see all the hidden reviews until I got jipped. Why are they hidden?! I called these guys in based on good google reviews. I’m having a problem with power surges that are affecting my appliances. They said $ 59 to come out. I said fine. Then they wanted to charge me $ 300 to diagnose the problem! Just to diagnose it. I felt stuck because I was missing work for the appt and I didn’t feel the electrical situation was safe. One hour later the technician told me that everything is wrong and the entire panel needs to be replaced for $ 6000 or refurbished for $ 3,500. I could have had an hourly electrician come in for 50 bucks an hour and saved $ 200 just for the diagnosis.

The Wirenut and their technician Benjamin are top notch! Very quick response. Everything was explained and gave me a price before any work was done. Fast repair too. Benjamin was friendly and professional. He even found a coupon in the phone book to help lower to price. It’s nice to find a company that is willing to help you out. Will use again!

I had the Wirenut come out to give me an estimate for work to install electric for a new stove in my kitchen. I had to ask more than once for the technician to check behind a socket for a line already running 240v to avoid an install of the line. He checked but said it wasn’t there. The estimate I received was almost 1000 dollars.
I asked someone else to come out and give me an estimate. This gentleman opened the master panel and identified the 240v line in less than 2 minutes. The whole job only cost me 250 dollars.
Wirenut will make it sound like you are getting a great deal when in fact you are being ripped off. Even my bulldog sensed trouble as soon as the technician arrived and she never growls at anyone.

Our stove went out due to a small wiring issue. The «Wire Nut» came over and gave me a bid that was nearly $ 10,000! Let me say that again, nearly ten thousand dollars. I went to Home Depot and Radio shack and found that the parts alone added up to nearly $ 200. Ha. «Nut» is a great name for this company.

I lined up an appointment as early as possibly for some basic electrical work (ceiling fans installed). The earliest they could possibly get me in was 2 weeks out. I booked the appointment and when that day rolled around (today) I got a call 20 minutes before they were supposed to arrive to be told that they had an emergency and have to reschedule me. The earliest they could reschedule me was another week and a half out… What a joke. I called Applewood electrical and they are coming out SAME DAY. Do yourself a favor and call Applewood Electrical or someone else.

Very Expensive ! The wire nut doesn’t stand behind their work. I will not say anything negative about the tech that came out — he was very polite & did great work only for the price that was about double what any other contractor would charge. They get you with the service charge that they include in the price only if you agree that they will do the work. I had a very small issue with the work that was done & it was worse than pulling teeth to get them out to fix it — in the end they took care of it but only after going back & forth with their sales person. Most companies I have dealt with in the past immediately take care of any concerns in order to keep repeat customers. I would definitely recommend you shop around when it comes to electricians — the wire nut is overpriced & and can be misleading! I will not use The WireNut for future home projects.

I had a very positive experience with the WireNut. I called them Monday morning after they opened and they had an electrician out to my house by 10:30am the same day.
The electrician (Drew) was very helpful in determining what would meet my electrical needs in our unfinished basement. I was given a quote and after agreeing to it he set to work.
All said and done, I couldn’t really be happier with how everything turned out. My wife was also impressed when she arrived home to find all the work completed and cleaned up.

I am glad that ultimately through some luck I am unclear about, the tech fixed what I thought was a minor issue. But what turned me off, is at first glance of looking at my outdated electrical box, he says that I need a new box and probably new rewiring of the entire place for the low cost of 5, 000+ dollars!!!
Hot dam! give me a minute to build up some trust! Don’t I get a dinner and a movie first before you try to bend me over?
Even if I truly need it, which I am sure it wouldn’t hurt to update the box without rewiring the whole house, you don’t start off this way. To make matters worse, the sales girl told me before the appt that it would be $ 59 and if they ended up doing any work the service call $ 59 would be INCLUDED in the work. When he starts with his quoting, he tells me it’s NOT included. I told him that it was not what I was told and he told me the girl had the wrong information. So I pause and I am about to send him away and THEN he offers up that if I have internet and a printer I can print off the coupon on their website that INCLUDES the $ 59 service call in the total bill.
Uh…SALES 101: Do not go for the jugular vein in my neck and ask me to throw money at the MOST EXPENSIVE thing you sell right off the bat! AND not being forthright and trying to get what I paid him + $ 59 = never going to get my money again. Ultimately, I do not trust anyone who tries to sell me the most expensive thing on their ‘menu’ right away. I then know it’s about the money… not giving me the service I requested or anything having to do with integrity. They get one star because he did fix the minor issue in 5 minutes at the low cost of just under $ 200. (originally quoted me over 319 and tried to get the $ 59 on top of that). I would not recommend them.
