TE Certified, Electrical, Plumbing, Heating & Cooling

I had electrical work done throughout my entire home, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. Marco Hernandez and his team were thorough, knowledgeable, and extremely professional. Everything was completed safely, neatly, and with great care. I was very pleased with the results and highly recommend TE Electrical services.

When I needed an electrician and an HVAC technician, I reached out to TE Certified based on the overwhelming number of positive reviews here.

My experience did not reflect those reviews. In fact, I feel like I invited a bunch of used car salesmen into my home. I’ll explain:

I was supposed to get a free estimate for furnace repair. Instead, the technician claimed his visit cost $98—and then he tried to use that as leverage to get me to pay for repairs. I.e., “I’ll waive that $98 fee if you consent to the following services…”

The electrician quoted me $300 to replace a light fixture in my bathroom, which I consented to (and now regret)—and then he wanted me to pony up an additional $5000 to replace my fuse box. But what really grinds my gears is he leaned on scare tactics, implying my house could go up in flames at any moment if I did not consent to the extra work.

The HVAC guy used scare tactics, too—telling me my old furnace could leak carbon monoxide, which could kill my entire family. And while there may be some truth to that and it spurred me to make sure my carbon monoxide detector is in working order, they used it as a segue for a sales pitch for a $14,000 HVAC system.

As if that wasn’t enough, I had to unsubscribe from multiple text messages and emails following these visits—and they continued to call, text and email three additional times until I wrote Donnie the Production Manager back and told him to stop. I’ve also since received unsolicited text messages from a local pest control and roofing company and suspect they sold my information.

I will need a new furnace before long, but I will not be calling TE Certified back for that or anything else. Between the price gouging, scare tactics and relentless marketing, I will take my chances elsewhere—and recommend you do, too.

My electrician‘s name was James. I’m in my 50s and have used many electricians over the years and this gentleman was potentially the best I’ve ever had. He was efficient, timely, and extremely confident and knowledgeable in this field.

In addition, TE provided the best pricing from the quotes I received.
I highly recommend this company and James as a personal electrician
