There are probably enough electrical folks around and I have one already with whom I'm comfortable. If I didn't, I would probably avoid Frank Gay based on this, but I'm not certain it's totally fair to them.

Sorry, but as I mentioned I have seen MANY posts and reviews indicating bad practices by Frank Gay Services. They are not just a local firm - many locations across Central FL. And many of these bad reviews indicate the very same practices. Low-ball to get into the house, then slam with outrageous charges. Some information I've seen re them is that the techs are incented to overbill and receive bonuses or a % of the bill. There had been quite a few posts in the past on TOTV about them. I simply wanted to alert others to be aware.You may have thought that Frank Gay is a local individual - NOPE! a large firm. Do your homework...
