I was charged $238 and told that my sensor dusk to dawn light was faulty and that I should return it to where I bought it. Richard suggested I buy a standard porch light fixture without the dusk to dawn sensor, use a CFL bulb and leave it on 24 hours a day.
Presto electric came and got my lights working again. Richard was fast and very nice and explained what was going on and fixed the issue. I will be calling them back for any future electrical work that i may need in the near future .
Have used Presto Electric twice and both times the service was excellent. If I ever have an electrical issue I call them.
Dummy me, right? I should have tried another bulb before calling an electrician. (That's sarcasm, folks.)
I'm $238 poorer and all I needed was a new light bulb.
It turns out that the filament in the halogen light bulb was broken, I'm referring to the bulb I had screwed into the fixture after my attempted installation. Richard didn't check the bulb already screwed into the fixture! He told me I had power at the box mounted to the house, and that the light fixture itself was bad.
A friend happened to be at my house and I told him how mad I was that I spent $238 and still didn't have a working outdoor light. He picked up the light fixture and looked at it. My friend looked at the bulb! Duh!
Here's my story: I attempted to install a porch light on my own. It didn't work when I flipped the switch, so thinking I installed it incorrectly I called Presto Electric.
Richard arrived exactly when he said he would. He finished the shower exhaust van in very short order. The kitchen lights he reviewed and explained what he would do and how long it would take and he was accurate on all counts. The amount was reasonable and the results are spectacular.
UPDATE: Presto has given me a partial refund of $119.00, thank you.
Richard was on time and pleasant. He explained what was wrong and diagnosed problem quickly. I would definitely use Presto Electric again.
