Common Electricians Review Complaints
Understanding the most frequent complaints helps you prepare responses in advance. Here are the top issues customers mention in electricians reviews.
Pricing & Overcharging
Complaints about high quotes, surprise charges, or feeling overcharged for electrical work.
Example review:
"They quoted me $200 for a simple outlet replacement and then charged $450 after 'finding additional issues.' Total bait and switch."
Quality of Work
Shoddy wiring, unfinished jobs, code violations, or work that fails shortly after completion.
Example review:
"The new outlet they installed sparked the first time I plugged something in. Had to call another electrician to fix their mess."
No-Show / Late Arrival
Electrician not showing up for appointments or arriving hours late without notice.
Example review:
"Took the day off work and they never showed. No call, no text. When I called them, they said they'd come 'sometime next week.'"
Property Damage
Damage to walls, flooring, fixtures, or other property during electrical work.
Example review:
"They cut a huge hole in my drywall that was way bigger than needed and left it like that. Now I need to hire someone to patch the wall too."
Poor Communication
Not explaining work, ignoring calls, or failing to update the customer on progress or timeline.
Example review:
"I had no idea what they were doing for three hours. No explanation of the problem, no updates, just a bill at the end."
Safety Concerns
Exposed wires, missing covers, code violations, or work that creates fire or shock hazards.
Example review:
"The inspector failed the work twice. Exposed wires in the attic and junction boxes without covers. I'm afraid my house will catch fire."
Licensing & Permit Issues
Working without proper licenses, skipping permits, or failing inspections.
Example review:
"Found out after the fact that they never pulled a permit. Now I have to pay to get the work re-inspected and potentially redone to sell my house."
Warranty & Callback Issues
Refusing to honor warranties, not returning for follow-up repairs, or charging for warranty work.
Example review:
"The light fixture they installed stopped working after two weeks. They said it wasn't covered and wanted to charge me again for a return visit."

Electricians Review Response Best Practices
Templates get you started, but these best practices will help you craft responses that truly build trust.
Respond Within 24 Hours
Electrical issues involve safety and urgency. A fast response to reviews signals that you're responsive and take your work seriously. Set up review notifications so you never miss one.
Lead with Safety, Not Sales
When responding to safety-related complaints, focus on resolution and concern for the customer's well-being. Avoid being defensive or dismissive - safety concerns require empathy first.
Explain Pricing Without Arguing
Electrical work can be expensive and customers may not understand why. In your responses, briefly mention the value (licensed electricians, code-compliant work, warranty) without debating the price publicly.
Highlight Licenses and Certifications
Trust is critical in the electrical trade. When responding to positive reviews, mention that all work is done by licensed, insured electricians. It reassures both the reviewer and everyone reading.
Take Technical Disputes Offline
If a customer disputes your diagnosis or work quality, don't explain complex electrical theory in a review response. Invite them to a phone call or on-site review. Technical debates make you look defensive.
Thank Positive Reviewers Specifically
Don't just say "thanks for the review." Reference the specific work done: "Glad the panel upgrade went smoothly!" Personalized responses encourage more reviews and build credibility.
Your Review Responses Power Your Local SEO
Most electricians don't realize that Google indexes review responses. Naturally include your company name, services (panel upgrades, outlet installation, wiring repair, EV charger installation), and service area in your responses. Instead of "Thanks for the review," try "Thank you for choosing [Business Name] for your panel upgrade here in [city]!" This helps Google connect your business to the services and locations people search for - improving your visibility in Google Maps and local search results.
