Buck Thomas Electrical Services

Was asked to give an estimate for a repair to outdoor electrical fixtures. Gave an invoice for a full day's job ($655! to do an estimate-no fixes!) when all they did was dig about 2 feet below the ground at the wrong place. Assumed the same problem, was at other areas, although no work was done there to confirm that diagnosis. Debris was left all over, and outlet cover box was reconnected with electrical tape. Asked for a detailed account of time spent on area, since I wasn't there when they did the work. Was promised a copy and have not received it. DO NOT use this company for anything complex.

They are contracted out by my landlord to handle electrical around the complex. They came once unannounced to change out some old outlets with grounded ones. They left sawdust and and dirt all over the counters and floors, and left the fridge pulled away from the wall. Their work left the microwave, disposal, and an outlet without power. They came back almost 2 weeks later to fix the problem, again leaving dirt everywhere, and then leaving 2 whole rooms without power. 2 days later they fixed everything, but shattered a glass shelf in the bathroom and left dirty hand prints on white dining chairs. They were dirty, loud, and generally unprofessional during every visit.

We had a small fire in our garage, which took out our power. I called many electrical companies, none were available. Only Buck Thomas answered the call, came quickly and assessed the damage. Within a day, power was restored. They had to get SCEG and Richland County involved to restore the power...which they did because they were pros. I will definitely use them again for any electrical repairs.
