Cost  +- R115 000

Description  Paddy did three jobs at our house. He rewired our generator at home to the house. He also moved our DB board from the kitchen to the garage. He also acquired a solar solution for our home and handled the installation.

Feedback  *Generator* Paddy handled the rewiring of the generator quickly and professionally. No issues. *DB Board* Paddy moved the DB board from the kitchen to the garage which came with many issues. He managed to find the faults and resolve them. I had to keep going back to Paddy with many subsequent issues - some he managed to fix such as a trip. Others are STILL not resolved. I will not be calling Paddy out again to try for the 3rd or 4th time on the same issues. As part of the job, Paddy was meant to close up a massive hole left by the DB in the kitchen and never returned to do so. I'm done chasing him. *Solar* This was the real heartbreak. The system paddy installed works fine but is NOT the system in any way that he initially quoted me on. Paddy asked for upfront payment before he would accept the job, but then proceeded to change everything from the Inverter to the battery to the pannels. In other words, he quoted me on stock that was not available, then when he offered other options and i took them, he never did a new quote - he just continued with the job. Paddy also plays with the truthfulness of issues such as when i queried if my new inverter was Deye, he confirmed. IT IS NOT a Deye, but rather came from, in Paddy's words, the same factory. My honest opinion is that Paddy is a hard working and knowledgeable guy. He is however strapped for cashflow meaning he wants payments before the jobs are complete and stable and his after sales service is not good. A summary statement from my work is that Paddy got the work done, mostly. He got the things I wanted, in part. And his team made a mess of the work area leaving tools, wiring and other parts of the building site dirty and unfinished. I do not recommend using Paddy.

Electrician

Description  He came to assess and give a quote to fix my 6KVA generator

Feedback  Paddy was absolutely amazing he identified the issue with my generator very quickly. It was burnt Spark Plug which he showed me. He told me where he was going to buy one and told me a rough estimate of how much the spark plug would be. He came back changed the spark plug and switched on the generator after replacing the spark plug. He told me my battery was not retaining power and told me a rough estimate of how much the battery would cost (R350) and asked me if he should purchase it. He was transparent with is pricing best of all he put me at ease and fixed my problem. I have since asked him to give me a quote for a switch to plug my generator into my DB board so we can easily switch during loadshedding. I highly recommend Paddy he is professional and he explains in detail what is wrong and how to fix it. I will definitely be using him and recommending for any electrical work in the future.
