Complaint Review: John

 I was staying at my mother's home after working all night and was woke up early one morning by a male voice coming from her living room. My mom looked really worried and not sure what to do. There was a man in a John Moore uniform standoff there holding a clip board. After I asked what was going on he tried to scare me by telling me about her main breaker and how dangerous it was and how important it was to have it changed out immediately. I told him I would do it the next time I was off, he quickly told me I could not do it and it had to be done by a certified electrician. That was when I looked at his estimate, the first one was pretty high being over $2700 but there were two more for even more money the highest one was over $6400. Then I stared looking over his estimate trying to get the price down where she could afford to have them do the work I said you don't need to do the labeling for each room for $449, I could do that. He said it was required per the electrical code. This guy paid attention to everything my mom said, then he tried to win her confidence by stating he was a Christian, a veteran, even going so far to tell us he was special forces and was injured in some war. He didn't win me over our scare me, I had done some work growing up working for an electrical contractor. So I asked around and found and hired an electrician then got her box changed out within 2 days, my mom was pretty worried. However it did need to be changed, probably the only honest thing he said to us, for, get this $650. All I can say is I don't know how those people sleep at night trying to scare the elderly, then attempting to rip them off. I am only glad I was there that day to save my mom over $2000 on the low end and over $5800 on the high end. Call anyone else before you call those rip off experts.
