    On May 16, 2022 I paid ****** for an electrical diagnostic. This diagnostic consisted of a new Romex circuit directing power to (4) living room receptacles. It would cost me $1692.46 for this work to be performed. No problem. Fast forward past (2) missed scheduled appointments and into today. I can articulate further on the missed appointments. An electrician was supposed to perform work 7/21. This electrician said it's a no-go and writes me up another diagnostic. This diagnostic will now cost me 20k for a full re-wire. My complaint is against management and not the electricians. In particular, ********, who claims that in the process of sending out less skilled journeyman to diagnose my situation that In-House is justified in keeping my initial diagnostic cost. I asked her to put herself in my position and consider if I have a reason to be upset. She indicated that a diagnostic was done regardless of the expertise (lack therof). It upsets me that she says all this with such a sweet voice while having the nerve to talk over me. I wouldn't have a problem if I initially paid ****** for a diagnostic that told me that a complete re-wire was necessary. My problem is that an supposed accurate diagnostic was done AFTER scheduling. I've literally waited since May for In-House to perform work on the condition that it would only cost $1692.46. Instead, I've literally paid for a lie and then told I'll need to pay more.In the process of trusting that In-House was a completely professional outfit during scheduling, I've suspended my diligence in locating other contractors. The work to be performed isn't for me but for my tenant. As a landlord, I'm trying to make my unit safe without increasing rents. If this was a personal repair, I'd be increasingly more relaxed because it's just my welfare. However, this is for someone else. I relied on professional treatment and simply got my money stolen.
