Jul 5, 2013
After we bought our home, we were referred to Banfield Electric by our real estate agent to remove some old knob and tube wiring in the house which was found by our home inspector. After they did the work, Banfield told us that all the knob and tube had been removed. Flash forward a few years, and we're selling our house, and the buyer's home inspector finds that there is still tons of knob and tube wiring throughout the house. Needless to say I was furious, as Banfield had said it was removed, and had paid them a fair amount to do so. As a result of the home inspector's findings, the buyer walked away and we lost the sale. If you aren't familiar with knob and tube, it's an old style of wiring that insurance companies require you to remove because it's been known to cause electrical fires. So, Banfield was not only lazy, incompetent, AND made me lose a home-buyer, they also potentially endangered myself and my family by leaving the old wiring. I then called another electrician, who found and removed the remainder of the knob and tube, and - lucky for us - also inspected Banfield's work. Turns out Banfield's crew had put in new wiring, but LEFT all the old knob and tube in the light fixtures, and tucked it down inside to hide it. In the words of the second electrician, "I'm feeling a Holmes On Homes Moment here. I don't know why those guys did that, because it's way more work to hook the new wiring up to the old knob and tube wiring, then tuck it all in to hide it, rather than just running the new wire all the way." I would not recommend Banfield to anyone.

I was never one for Christmas lights, but i wanted to have some this year. Got them up but after a rain my plug died. I called Banfield Electric as they are in my local area, they came the next day only 4 days before Christmas!!! Now that's service!
