Erickson Plumbing, Heating, Air, Electrical

I hired this company to help with electrical work in my new house. An electrician arrived on Nov 29th and I talked to him about the 5 or so things I needed done, such as installing an electrical outlet outside and new ceiling lighting and fans. He didn't do any actual work on the visit, nor did he charge me, but he also never followed up. I called the company on Dec. 7th to follow up on getting the work done and they said they needed to issue a quote first. Here it is now Dec 17th and I still haven't heard anything from them.

I contracted Erickson to replace several old nasty furnaces in a rental property. Zach gave me a fair quote, responded quickly to all of my questions wasn't pushy at all regarding making the sale.
Their crew showed up on time on the date promised; we're professional and polite with the tenants and completed the work in the time frame allotted.
Very pleased, defiantly recommend them and would hire them again.

Great company to work with. The electrician, Joe M., arrived right at the scheduled time. He quickly assessed the job I had in mind and recommended the best solution. I am extremely happy with the results and the cost of the job. I would definitely trust Joe and Erickson Plumbing, Heating, Air and Electrical of Blaine to do work for me again.

Quick reply, short wait for the appointment, great professional Todd. Thrilled to finally have spigots and a hose in the front and back. Todd was consultative and instructive. Pricing was very fair on a T&M basis and half the quote of some other fixed price vendors. Can't say enough great things about this company and wonderful experience!

We found this company on Yelp. We first started communicating over Yelp messages. They said they would call me on Monday and they did. We scheduled them for next Tuesday and they were on-time. I really liked the text message reminders and a picture of the electrician before he arrived.

We had a new outdoor light installed above our front door and two new outdoor power outlets. He had a difficult job because the light had to be 50 years old. I was right. It had Stucco over the inside electrical housing bracket. After a few hours he had successfully completed the work. There is zero chance I would have completed the installation. After that we moved to the garage. I moved everything from the walls and began drilling holes for the wiring. I went back inside to take a few meetings and before I knew it he was done. Great work!

This was a good experience. The guy who came (Joe) was really a super guy and he did a good job. Cleaned up after himself and explained everything he did. I need a reliable plumber in the rolodex and I will call this company again. The price seemed fair for the work he did and better quote than I got somewhere else.

They responded to both my quote request and the service request quickly on a property I was selling. The electrician was also prompt, friendly, and knowledgeable and completed the job in less time than I expected. I will definitely use them again!

I finally got around to getting the living room electrical issue addressed. The cats had a huge fight some time ago, and I'd lost power to 3/4 of the room. Because I figured that it was going to be a pretty spendy proposition, I hemmed and hawed about it.

When I finally broke down to address it, I used the Yelp ""Get-A-Quote"" feature to find reputable companies to get the job done.

Erickson was one of the responding companies. They were not the company who promised me the cheapest rates. Their contact was professional and friendly. After giving my phone number, I was called by a young lady who asked me to return the call if I was interested in having them work on my home (I was in my 10,000th Zoom meeting at the time of the call).

I called back and was asked a few more questions about the issue and I explained that I believed that one outlet was the source of the problem and that fixing it would end all the other problems. I was told that they bill for time and materials and that the cost would be around $200, depending upon the amount of time the electrician would be working. This was in line with the research I'd done on outlet replacement costs.

I took a deep breath and accepted the time slot of 7:30 - 9:30 Thursday. This was a quicker time than some of the other companies had available, and I didn't want to wait any longer.

Dean was right on time and got right to work inspecting what needed to be done. We chatted a bit as he was preparing to get into the outlet. I showed him down to the basement to ensure that the circuit was off. He'd mentioned several things about the wiring and such while down there. I've made mental notes of them. Before going down, he tried to use a device that would read the current but couldn't get it into the outlet (it was pretty melted).

After taking apart the outlet, which was very crispy, he explained that the problem was the wiring in the outlet itself and that my cats fighting didn't cause the overload. It was a fire waiting to happen. I wasn't happy to hear that, as I've now got concerns about all the other outlets in the house.

It didn't take him any time at all to switch out and correctly rewire the new outlet. This was probably the best $205 I've spent on the house thus far.

Dean was friendly, professional, and fast. I'm feeling quite happy that Yelp has helped me go three for three with service professionals coming to work on things in my home. I know that I'll be calling Erickson for anything that comes up in the future.

Talk about Nickel-and-Diming with bad punctuality and customer service to boot!

Avoid this company if you value:
Your time - no punctuality
Your home - they prefer not to stand behind their work
Your sanity - Subpar customer service and billing

I decided to use a local company, but now I realize that wasn't my best decision. Called Monday June 11th at 8:23am and left a message. Kenny from service called back within 5 minutes and setup an appointment for the following day. I might have misheard Kenny but I thought he said $125 for service call and $55 for each additional hour of service. The tech, Cole showed up the next day around 8:50am and I explained to him the standing water issue around the HVAC system in my mechanical room. I decided to service the entire air conditioning system to correct the issue. The unit ended up needing 3 lbs of refrigerant ($70/lb), and Cole was finished around 10am. Cole told me the final amount was $445 and I would receive an invoice via email. I should have questioned the pricing at that moment, but I figured I could review the invoice upon receipt for accuracy. I wandered downstairs to my mechanical room around 2:30pm and realized it was again filled with standing water. I immediately called Erickson and talked to Kenny, which he told me that a service person could not come out until tomorrow morning at 7:30am. It wasn't terribly warm out so I just figured I'd turn off the system. The next morning at 8:20am I called Erickson because the tech hadn't shown up. Kenny told me the tech went to another job in Coon Rapids instead and should be there next. I told him I had to be somewhere at noon so it had to be before then. Cole, the tech, showed up around 10:30am with no recollection of being at my house the day before and of course no apology for inconvenience. I followed him down to the mechanical room and he removed the evaporator drain line and blew it clear of debris. He said that was your problem. I questioned him at that time as I thought he said he cleared the line the day before. He then proceeded to charge me another $125 service charge. After Cole left, I immediately called Kenny and to dispute the charge. I was met with great defiance and absolutely no understanding of the situation. He said things similar to we don't warranty our work and what do expect from us. He told me it was a separate incident as it was the next day. I told him I called 4 hours after first service so I guess it is my problem they couldn't get back out that day. He finally agreed to refund the second $125 service fee only after he told me how lucky I was to be getting such refund. The next day I had to email Erickson because I still didn't have a copy of any invoice. I discovered their invoices have no detailed breakdown of charges. I again emailed Kenny to get a breakdown of the charges. He provided an email breakdown which itemized labor 1.5 hours = $235 and 3lbs R-22 refrigerant = $210. The $235 is a little sketchy as it seems they charge $125 service call and $55 for every hour and then round up to the next closest full hour. Again, I might have misheard on the initial call but the tech was here from 8:50am-10am (credit card charge at 10:07am), so just over an hour.

I had an issue with my furnace. Service was excellent from my very first call to the actual visit. I never felt patronized. I felt like they were just really interested in making sure I got my issue solved and that I understood the problem and solution. They were friendly and professional. I will definitely use them again.
