Absolutely a nightmare to work at. Terrible management skills. Chuck doesn't know how to talk to employees or keep any employees. High turnover rate. $100 bonus even if you worked there 2 years. $100 gift cards that don't work. One minute they want to fire you the next minute they want to give you a 75¢ raise. Work here at your own risk but be prepared to find another job.
Hired them to install a pool timer, assess the low voltage transformers, adding an outlet, and cabinet lighting. After the electrician first said we had the wrong timer, I had to correct him which was my first sign of total ineptitude. Next, he inspected the low voltage transformer, assured me it was fine and the heat of the unit was acceptable. 1 week later, the transformer wiring melted causing see photo. I still don't know how the house didn't catch fire. He had no clue about installing a new outlet in the garage, and after $480 for horrendous service I'll never use them again and caution anyone who does in the Baltimore metro area.
This company branch in Elkridge is horrible the branch manager Chuck White who is quote the same ex employee from Hawkins electric, does not know how to supervise this branch and has push numerous employees away do too his lack of management skills and false promises!
Easy to make an appointment with a friendly person on the phone. Loved the electrician that came to my house. He was friendly, knowledgeable and worked quickly and efficiently! I would recommend Kolb to anyone!
This company is shamefully dishonest. I am contacting the BBB and county clerk because they practice unfair bait and switch. I emailed them based on an ad for a FREE estimate to replace my bathroom vent fan. The gentleman showed up and gave me a $127.50 invoice. The company representative told me that they estimate could not be free since they had to troubleshoot my vent fan. I'm not sure why. I asked for a quote to replace, obviously it isn't working. It's not even about the cost but about the reality that I would NEVER had agreed to pay for the estimate. Reading some of these other reviews I take strength in knowing these shannanigans will not last much longer.
Came to connect a converter, installed wrong way and blew the converter, had to get another one. On top of that, the electrician made a square larger than the access panel so had to get a handyman to fix. I asked for detail Invoice because I thought the electrician overcharged me, no luck. Complained to company but they have ghosted me. Do not recommend and will never use again.
