Warning avoid Dean Davis 'The Happy Electrician'

We used Dean Davis aka 'the Happy Electrician' for some electrical work. we were quoted $540 to feed 4 new wires.

After starting the job, he convinced us we needed 6 wires and a new panel plus other work rewiring hot water heater and AC.

He pushed the job price up to $2967!!!

He then failed to complete the work quoted for.

Worse still, we had a licensed electrician check it and found that he only ran two wires instead of 6.

Also the panel was not even needed (he charged $1400 for the panel) as the old panel was adequate for all working circuits in the house, the two wires run were left in a dangerous state and we had to have ceiling removed and replaced to fit them properly.

We are taking this rogue trader to court to teach him a lesson and will post results here:. We are also reporting him to all appropriate agencies!.

In the meantime, please take note of the above story and save yourself some money?.

DEAN DAVIS is NOT a licensed electrician despite his invoice quoting license number 201141135

If you want to stay happy, we advise you to avoid the happy electrician|. Also, please tell your friends too and feel free to copy this post to any newsgroups or discussion forums to protect others.. His details are below".
