Electrician advice ##Beware ### A valuable lesson I learnt I bought a ceiling Fan with a light to be fitted. The initial so called electrician (DalApross – Warren) came out and gave me a quote. On arriving a few days later he explained it was far more difficult to install than expected an upped the cost which grudgingly I agreed to. On arriving home, he had wired it in such a way that you could not switch off the lights while the fan is on. He tried to justify it by saying that people don’t sleep with their fans. His only suggestion was to unwire the dimmer lights in the ceiling and only use the fan as he had wired the fan to the dimmer. To allow both to work as expected he quoted another astronomical amount, so I must pay for his mistakes, After numerous back and forth he only refunded the difference between the first and 2nd quote. To I then contacted Laurie Boyle (082 413 0787) Flash Electrical he initial ally introduced himself by showing his electrical certificate. He looked at the wiring and said it was a fire hazard the way it was wired. For a fraction of the cost and half an hour later he got both working. Ongoing back to Warren and asking for his electrical certificate out of interest he refused to show it and I suspect he does not have one. ONLY USE A REGISTERED ELECTRICIAN IN YOUR HOUSE FOR YOUR SAFETY
