Tomato Electric

Encountered one of there trucks this morning on interstate 70. Driver very aggressive with tailgating and unsafe lane changing. Very unprofessional! If this is how they do their work on the job, then I would stay away.

One star is more than this company deserves. They took forever to do the work on our house– a heavy-​up, overhead lights, gfci outlets among other things. The main reason was because half the time the electrician assigned to work on our house didn’t even show up– apparently he was going through personal issues. This is understandable, what is not is how the company didn’t have the wherewithal to have someone else cover for him.
After a heavy-​up (rewiring the electrical panel) we had a bunch of cables and wires sticking out of the side of our house, which is normal. However, we had the work done 1.5 years ago, and they are still there. Why? Because Tomato Electric kept blaming Pepco for not coming to do the work, and saying that the only way to get them to come was through the company. Recently I found out the real reason. THEY NEVER HAD THE PANEL INSPECTED BY THE COUNTY! My family was living in a potentially unsafe home for over a year. The only way I found out about this was when I had a competent electrician come over to do an estimate for some other work.
So then I had Tomato schedule an inspection. I told the secretary that I’d leave a key out for the inspector, which she said was fine. Except it’s not fine, the homeowner needs to be onsite! So I went ahead and rescheduled. The panel passed inspection, but turns out the inspector needed to inspect all the wiring Tomato did on the house– wiring that is now behind drywall for obvious reasons. I put him on the phone with the secretary, who tried to tell the inspector that the only work Tomato did on the home was on the panel, even though the inspector had the permits for the other work right in front of him, and even though I had already told her that more work was done than just the panel. According to the inspector, Tomato was supposed to have called for a county inspection while the wiring was exposed, which is standard procedure!
After all this, I got on the phone with the owner, Bob, and was never given a straight apology. Instead, he insinuated that there was a possibility that I had been contacted by Tomato electric to schedule an inspection months ago, and never responded. I was never contacted by Tomato Electric to schedule an inspection. As the company that pulled the permits, they are legally obligated to arrange an inspection, and they never did. I’ve never had a worse experience with a company, period. And by the way, they are expensive and their work is mediocre.

Had 2 ceiling fans, and a dedicated circuit for a humidifier installed. Matt came out and gave an estimate. I found the price to be quite reasonable than other estimates from other companies. The following week Peter and Joe came out to do the installation. Scheduling was easy and friendly. I received a phone call half hour before they arrived. Peter and Joe were friendly and professional and completed the job within the time frame as promised. I was very pleased that they cleaned up after the installation. I definitely recommend and will use this company in the future!

Called Tomato Electric in the morning and they were able to be at my house just a few hours later. Peter was punctual, friendly and professional. Unfortunately I didn’t get the other electrician’s name, but he was impressive as well. They were both very considerate. The job involved troubleshooting some flickering lights and installing an exterior outlet. The exterior outlet presented a bit of a challenge due to the quirks of my 1923 house. The first attempt was aesthetically displeasing but they cheerfully worked as a team to get it installed to my satisfaction. I found the price to be quite reasonable. Also, when I called this morning they answered right away and the woman who took my call was professional and efficient. Much better than leaving a message and hoping someone will call you back. I am considering running electricity to my detached garage and if I do I will definitely contact Tomato Electric for an estimate.

My advice to potential customers is to stay away from this company. Electricians, including the owner are dishonest people! An electrician damaged my baseboard heater and denied it. I am taking the owner to court. Additionally, if you want sloppy wiring work, hire this company.

Had a fantastic experience with company. Matt came out to provide quote, and said the issue was small enough he’d go ahead and fix it so he didn’t have to send out another electrician. Price was good, Matt was extremely professional, and I’d use this company again without hesitation.

Paul took care of several jobs at my house. He worked diligently and there were no wasted moments. He repaired one item and saved me the cost of replacing it. I am happy to pay for a professional’s time, and I appreciate when they use time well. Very satisfied.

I am thrilled with the professional job done by Scott and Peter. They work quickly and are extremely knowledgable. I would highly recommend Tomato Electric.

This company is very expensive! They gave me prices very much above the others. I explained that to them but they tried to say it was a «TRAVEL» charge as well! Electricians rip us off anyway but this company charges $ 100 to come out and then $ 26 for every 15 min. after. WHAT? Ridiculous.

Love this company, especially Paul Yousef. You won’t be disappointed. Did heavy up, replaced kitchen lights, dimmers, renovation work.
