    Fraud and extortion ,Do not hire this electrician. Zero stars ********************* from BC electric and I had an agreement to wire a small 900 sq ft house in ****** He said that if I buy the materials and help with the electric work the cost will be lower than the estimate but somehow it turned out to be much higher and old wires were left in place to make the job as easy as possible.He never even showed up on the job, just sent his electricians for 4 half days total. I Never witnessed such extortion and fraud with any of the many contractors I worked with in the past.The whole house has only 20 outlets,the old wiring for the water heater and well pump was not replaced as expected and the main power line was left hanging on the side of the house without clips. The well water pump seized due to an old fuse box that was supposed to be rewired costing me $**** In addition to all the fixtures I also supplied all of the pricey material usually supplied by the electrician such as: indoor outlets,switches,indoor gfi outlets,outdoor outlets,3 way switches,dimmers,plastic covers,can lights,smoke detectors,bath fan.I also wired myself the range,dishwasher,refrigerator,hood,washer and dryer,closet,installed track heads,drilled ceiling light holes,floor plug and installed all cover plates, much more than I was supposed to do The range and dryer are propane and didn't require any 240 wiring and also, the heat pump was installed and wired by a different contractor.***************** sent an invoice for ****ft of wire, I know for a fact that this small house doesn't have more than ****ft of wire and he also charged an astronomical rate per foot, more than double of what I would pay if I purchased at *********** $ **** of wire alone on a small ranch house is outrageous.He conveniently blamed Covidfor the high cost when I have pictures of a ****ft roll of wire with the price from the time of the invoice last summer. He's also triple billing the actual hours spent on the job.I was there
