Charged $144.00

Wonder how much they charge for actual work?
If that's all he did, it wasn't enough. He should have found out the cause of the breaker tripping. Was the circuit overloaded? Is there a loose wire? At least for the $144.00, he should have done that. A competent and honest electrician he is not. Take the money and run!!
Educate the customer and you'll get repeat business or referrals.
