Reviews of Spilde Electric (Electrical Technician)

Robert Coleman

We have a nonprofit organization called my school rocks. We help children and teachers in need of school supplies. We are located in the community where this electrician is located in Arlington. We are just recently purchased a building and we need some electrical work done on it the building was in bad shape and we wound up having to get it. Contacting Josh the owner of this company. He said this is what we will do for you to help your nonprofit organization. We will pay for the permit from the state for your organization so that the state inspection will be taken care of. He said it was around $200 but they would take care of that another thing that they would let us do is do the wiring ourselves and then he would come in and inspect it to make sure it was done right and if anything else needed to be done he would charges $150 an hour. We finally got the city to hook up the electrical meter the building had no power for 20 years. Today I had contacted Josh and finally got ahold of him after several attempts. This man told me that they were busy now and that they could not help us. I said well you did get the permit correct you told me that you were going to go over to the city office tell them that you were doing the wiring and that you were going to pay for their permit he said I hadn't done anything and I'm not going to do anything. Now this is the way I look at it a business is only as good as his word and if they want to screw over a nonprofit organization and lie to them what do you think they do to a paying customer. I have told others in the community about what he was going to do for us and they were shocked and surprised I was told or should I say worn that he is not to be trusted. Now I believe it I've always giving people the benefit of the doubt but for someone to take into lie to a organization that's trying to help the community and not want to do anything to help the community why should the community support this business. I'm very shocked and surprised I've never had a business do this to us before and all the businesses that have come out and gone out of their way to help us have always kept their word. Lesson to learn and a thought to the next customer that goes to this person should think if he would screw over the poor and not help the community what type of Integrity is this person have? Very sad to have to deal with this or even mention this on his site but I feel that his business deserves a one-star and you do reap what you sew.
