    "I have a delightfully renovated old cottage in which I intended to install replica antique light switches and points (which I would supply). A job for an electrician, of course. The Yellow Pages showed me Amber Electrical of 42 Cliff View Dr. in Green Bay, which was but 1/2 a block away from where I live. In a phone call to the owner, he said his charge-out rate was $60.00 per hour with no call-out fee - just a flat rate of $60.00, and he was happy to do the work \"labour… only\". Sounded OK, so I contracted him to do the work.

    He came, he did the work, he went away.He appeared very professional, his attitude was that of a happy chappy - but oh dear me, he must have been at the bottom of the maths class at school!. He was offered payment on the spot, but declined as he \"had to work it out\". The account duly arrived, and horror of horrors, his charge-out rate had climbed to $76.00 an hour!

    I refused to pay this amount but offered to settle for the original amount. He would not have a bar of it, but said he would place the matter in the hands of BayCorp. My first instinct was to fight him, but both the Commerce Commission and a lawyer said it would not be worth the effort - as those who choose to fight in the gutter usually win, anyway.

    Even though I was given a verbal quote (which is binding under the law), I have been advised to get any further quotes (from anyone) in writing, and I would like to pass this on to whoever would like to take heed. Once bitten, twice shy - and I certainly will not have any further work done by Amber Electrical, nor recommend the firm to anyone else.    "
