My Mother hired a licensed electrician to install 1 ethernet drop in her home office. She already had a preexisting tp-link setup in the basement. She showed me the invoice today which totaled $958.00! I’m shocked and disgusted. Feels like they took advantage of my Mother.
I told my Mother to call them first thing tomorrow morning to see if they possibly made a mistake. If not, I advised her to never do business with that company again. This seems like highway robbery. Is there anything else she can do?
Any decent size IT services (or Managed Services Provider) can or has someone’s contact info on hand for this sort of thing. Security camera vendors also do it all the time, so they would likely be able to do it.
Don’t be surprised though if there’s a service call + $85-150/hr. for a single run. In OPs case, a MCOL area like the one we service should have been about 1/4-1/3 the total cost even for a professional low voltage shop.
