On September of 2008 I contracted Mr. Daley to do some outdoor underground security lighting for my residence. The work was completed and the total balance paid in full by me; no complaints but soon after the install, one of our lights kept going out. After a few weeks of my switching the circuit breaker on/off every other day Mr. Daley decided that the light was going out because of water leakage (wrong).
Mr. Daley replaced the original lights with a different style that was more watertight and finally we thought the problem was solved. It wasn’t.
Every other day, or week the light would flip the circuit. During the course of several months his company replaced the GFI and the circuit breaker and that never fixed the problem. The only things left were the underground cable and connections he had installed which he said he would change, but never did. It was months of promises and always finding my light not working and me having to reset the circuit breaker. This has been very distressing as its purpose as Mr. Daley knew from the beginning was for security reasons!
At this point Mr. Daley has washed his hands of it and I still remain constantly resetting the circuit breaker to turn the light back on. In the beginning Mr. Daley always promised to correct the problem, however, it has been over a year now and he has never figured it out or come back to do any work and has even stopped returning all my phone calls. I have yet to see or hear from Mr.Daley again. I will need to hire another electrician now to troubleshoot and correct his wiring and installation.
UPDATE
11/10 Ray contacted me and said he would try to repair this problem. He currently has the light working and promised that he will respond if/when there is any future problem with it and do a complete overhaul if necessary.
Cons: NEVER FIXED PROBLEM, STOPPED RETURNING PHONE CALLS
