Default Lenhart Electric

I had Lenhart electric install a weather proof outlet on my light pole in November and they had to come back to repair it in December because the GCFI would blow at the pole and inside the garage Making the garage door openers unuseable. Well it happened again last nigh I called this morning and was told that they could not get to me until next week I explained to them I could not get out of my garage and was told the could come after hours for a larger fee

I will not recommend them to anyone and will tell everyone who asks not to use them

Do a Google search on , open garage door manually.
There are several videos on "how to".

99% of business's will correct issues if given a chance.
I think it is best to discuss with management of any business before slamming them on TOTV, where the post lives on forever on the Internet.

I Have used Lenhart on several occasions and would use them again based on the good job they did. I would give them a call back and let them take care as they offered,

I have been completely satisfied by the services of this company, have used them multiple times in our new home, and would not hesitate to call them again.

Sorry you had an unsatisfactory experience with Lenhart. We used them to replace our lamp post and they did an excellent job! Would never use another company.

We, too, have been very pleased with Lenhart. They gave us the best price of 3 estimates and the work was done exactly as we requested by a knowledgeable and courteous electrician. Would not hesitate to use them again.

I needed some work done on my house. I read the complaint about Linhart and Linhart's response. They seemed like a company who deserved a second chance. I called them and we made an appointment for between 3:00 and 5:00. I made sure to end my meeting to get home in time. I was home at 2:50. Linhart had had come early and talked to my wife, who knew very little of the problem, and left before I got there. Linhart left saying that my house was under warranty.

My house is not under warranty. Linhart was unable to give me an estimate on my problem (landscape lighting) because my wife didn't know the problem.

I called Pikes Electric.

Linhart, here is a hint: You make an appoint, you be there for the appoint. If you can't even do that correctly, I am not trusting you with a real problem. There are no third chances.
