Beware of install rates HOME DEPOT Expo Manchester MO. This is a bad review... My wife bought a ceiling fan a could of weeks ago and the nice salesperson said that they had installation available and would probably run around $200.00. I checked with my electrician friend and he agreed it might be high but not bad.

I thought it should be less but I agreed. My first hint that this deal was going to go bad was when they said they needed me to pay them $100.00 just for the electrician to visit the site and confirm the installation. They said the $100.00 fee would apply to the installation.

OK two + weeks later a young man shows up with little or no experience and he was dumbfounded on how to mount the ceiling fan in a vaulted ceiling. I even offered to build the wooden block and showed him how he could do the entire installation with out crawling in the attic since the switch location can be reached from a ladder under the attic access hole.

Three weeks after purchase I got the quoted price of $ 450.00 to install the fan that they said should cost $200.00 to install. When I got angry about the high cost they offered to reduce it by 10%. Now I know why they charge $ 100.00 for the quote. Only an idiot would accept it and they make money on the quote. I'm now pretty sure the store marks up the installation. I'm returning the fan and will not get my $100.00 fee back and I will never deal with EXPO again.

Be Warned. Call me if you want to confirm this information.
