Metropolitan Electrical Contractors Adelaide

JT arrived to do my electrical work promptly and efficiently. They were very polite and fast. Would recommend

Before you even read my review below google Metropolitan Plumbing and Electrical story on A Current Affair September 2023. (I wish I had seen it first) This company is still up to it's old tricks!!!!!!! Then go to their plumbing website and read those reviews. Do not use this company unless you want to be legally scammed. It is not against the law to charge what you want but what they are charging their unsuspecting customers is outrageous. Got home from the beach on 2nd January to find I had no power & the safety switch would not correct. So contacted this electrical service who actually had the cheapest call out fee of $140 & was the only one I called who could attend on the day & now I know why - they make a fortune this way. The electrician arrived within the hour which was great but then it began. He couldn’t find the problem immediately so then he had to do an investigation - quote $1100!!! The $1100 investigation included using a little device & checking all the plugs in the house - not brain surgery! Funnily the problem was the fridge - one of the first applianes and power points he should have checked for my $1100. So that took half an hour & then the even better news. He said the fridge had blown the safety switch which leading to another quote of $1250 to replace it. So for just over an hour’s work & one safety switch I was charged over $2300! Plus I had to buy a new fridge! HOW IS THIS LEGAL? What is going on with how business is being conducted during this cost of living crisis is totally outrageous. This has to be price gouging at its most audacious! Not happy Jan!!!! The day after I rang Business & Consumer Affairs and this company is under investigation by them - also they have been featured many times on A Current Affair for this very thing. But according to the law they can charge what they like. So anyone wanting to use their services please, please read the product reviews like I should have!!!!! in fact read the product reviews before you employ any contractor - it will save a lot of time and money.

Technician arrived late at night as per my request and made me feel comfortable from the get go. JW was very comforting and made everything seem easy. Very pleased with the experience and the job that has been done is fabulous! Thankyou again for coming out so late.

Would Highly Go agaisnt using this Company, The $140 is for them to give you a quote, and the quote given is far beyond resonable. They also refuse any progession in complaints not letting you speak to manegment. Do you research before you use this company as they have been on A current Affairs.

Buyer beware: this company will over quote, over charge, and expose you to safety and insurance issues. They have been known to deliberately inflict additional damage and then quote an additional multiple of their original charge to fix that. No one needs to pay $1,049 per hour to "investigate" - not even attempt to fix - an electrical issue when a reputable sparky will probably sort you out for a fraction of this scammer’s fee. Tip: Never pay them via bank transfer: use a card so you can contact your bank and claim a fraudulent charge back (or at least a refund for services not received)

They charged me $141.00 for call out and behaved like a professional company until they took the payment. The electrician arrived 2 hours late and wandered around the unit and put their marketing stickers all over the unit. He looked at the switch board and quoted me $2,300 to replace an 40A RCB.

LW came over promptly arriving at 1.58pm (promised by 2pm arrival) on Boxing Day, was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and very thorough with his work. Luke explained the issue with our faulty switch and work required clearly and made sure all options were covered. His professionalism was appreciated as he gave us advice as needed, our smoke detectors were due too and checking our airconditioning system, its isolator and circuit as well. All sorted and work areas cleaned before walking us through before after photos of work completed. Excellent work! Highly recommend asking for Luke! Thank you so much!
