Elektrabedrijf Reviews

Incompetency and predatory charging

I call them to ask for a installation that could accomodate an induction stove They indicated that I needed a STEDIN come to my house to install 3-phase and that only then they could come back and work However this information was incomplete and got charged about 200 euros for this Why Turns out that they could ve already started with the installation and have it ready for STEDIN to connect the 3-phase For some reason I hope due to greed and not due to incompetency they wanted to come back after STEDIN to do the work when this is not necessary In addition they failed to mention that STEDIN will not install anything as long as I had a 4-pole switch for their safety And got charged 200 euros for this poor job

Very unreliable company

Very unreliable company Requested an offer for installing breakers box very standard work They said 39 for visit to make an offer OK fine Then the guy comes spends 15 minutes to take pictures and to ask questions - then presents a bill for 90 because somehow this is considered extra work He shows me a cost estimate for the work which is seriously over-priced and with a lot of potential additional charges Oh and in the end they never even sent ta formal offer - you know the service for which they charged for

Predatory practices and absolutely criminal behavior

We wanted to have a 1-phase wire changed to a 3 phase wire and had them send out a team The electricians gave us a quote for 835 They then informed me that they had to order the cable and they would be back on the 8th We paid 184 as a down payment The 8th arrived but the electricians did not I called Elektrabedrijf who refused to give me their subcontractors HBM Installateurs information They would only say that we had an appointment for the 19th which we were not informed about The 20th came and HBM does show up to do the work Once the work was done they presented us a bill of 2679 46 -Not including the 184 I had already paid I was shocked They gave us NO warning or discussion for this price increase If they had we would have told them to stop all work When we asked them to leave us the bill and we would deal with this later they said they would not leave without us paying We got on the phone with elektrabedrijf nl who told us it was best for us to pay and that they would refund us the money because they take such matters seriously We feel incredibly pressured and so we paid Huge mistake Since then we have tried to work with elektrabedrijf nl to resolve this sending many emails because we cannot afford a 2600 bill And it has been outrageous to say the least First they said that they forgot to add the 3-phase cable and tax to the estimate A hypothetical situation If I told you that you could get a new laptop for 200 and once it was sent to you present a bill of 5000 and say the 200 is only for shipping would that be correct and honest business practice They then tried to blame me saying they called and asked about the price increase Categorically untrue Next they tried to say that a quote is just an indication and not what we will have to pay When it was pointed out that by law any increase of more than 10 must be meet with the consumer s agreement they moved on to the next argument Which is that they are an emergency service which it is stated nowhere on their website But what truly turns this sinister is their last response They have now sent us falsified documents saying that I had signed for work when I have not signed anything I repeat They FALSIFIED my signature on documents Both Elektrabedrijf and HBM Installateurs are in on this scam Looking at the final bill HBM Installateurs has also charged us twice for diagnose and to add salt to the wound did not even connect the wire to our meter box I kid you not in total we have paid them 2863 46 to run a wire 30 meters Do not under any circumstances think to use this company or any of their so-called sub-contractors We have filed a criminal report against them for the false signature along with filing in civil court for dishonest business practices

Fraudulent Company

Avoid this company at all costs They provided us with a price estimate of 835 but when they carried out the work they gave us an invoice for 2 700 a 320 increase They did not notify us despite having numerous opportunities to do so and threatened us by saying they would not leave unless the invoice was paid We called ElektraBedrijf to resolve this matter but they falsely advised us to pay the invoice promising a partial refund to make things right That was a complete lie After we paid the invoice ElektraBedrijf immediately changed their stance and said the invoice was final They even went as far as to falsify our signature to make it seem as if we had agreed to the price increase This company is 100 a scam All of their 5 Star ratings are ChatGPT generated and it reads as such

Extremely expensive

I was waiting for an appointment with an electrician from 13-17 He showedup at 18 45 and quoted 630 euros for work that he said would take one hour When I was making the appointment I was deliberately asking about the affordability of the service and I was reassured it was a good deal I rejected the offer but still had to pay 47 eur fee This was a very disappointing experience

Avoid

Rude and unprofessional They advertise quick response and I notice all the complaints about their pricing Avoid this business

CAREFUL SCAMMERS

I have really bad experience with this company I have scheduled an electrician over the phone and asked for prices Nobody was able to tell me how much two lights on the ceiling are going to cost The only thing they told me was that it is going to be 39 euro starting cost not mentioning its price without VAT When the electrician arrived he did not bring ladders even tho I have mentioned that I need to do ceiling light After stepping on my chairs with shoes he showed me prices on his iPad fixed prices which I asked over the phone and was not able to get mentioning that it is going to be 189 euro for 30 minutes and every next 30minutes over 30 euro Those prices are absolutely shocking that is most then doctors and any highly specialized job in Amsterdam I have refused to pay it and the electrician left with 47 euro my wasted time and nothing fixed at my house An absolute joke and scam this company Be careful

This is a scam Avoid them

They connected me to HBM installateurs which is clearly a scam They tried to charge us 1600 to install a ceiling lamp after giving me an estimate of 400 which I still thought was expensive Avoid them They threatened to call the police on us when we protested Horrible

nothing is done

nothing is done and I got charged 350 euro
