Posting here because I don’t know where else to. And to warn people in Seattle.
I am currently in the market for a new electric panel for my condo that I have been living in for 1.5 years. The electrician who came over gave a hard sell, trying to talk about how my condo could burn down in a fire, and offered three options for an electric panel between $8000 and $10000. While he was gesticulating, I googled the cost of an electric panel replacement in Seattle and it was estimated between $2000 to $4000 and asked him why his was so much more expensive. He said that “quality,” “warranty,” and “reliability” were why. I told him I would have to see other quotes.
The three other electrician groups that assessed for a new electric panel, offered it at the prices between $3000-$4000 total, at least $5000 dollars cheaper than the quote by Seatown Electric….
I asked Seatown to investigate if they offered an unethical price and tried to scam me and they said they’d look into it. Is there anything else I should do to warn people?
My recommendation: avoid Seatown for your home repairs or at least get other quotes!!
