Important information
- Advertising Review:
BBB promotes truth in advertising by contacting advertisers whose claims conflict with the BBB Code of Advertising. These claims may come to our attention from our internal review of advertising, consumer complaints and competitor challenges. BBB asks advertisers to prove their claims, change ads to make offers clearer to consumers, and remove misleading or deceptive statements.
On February 21, 2023, Better Business Bureau of Central and Northwest NC contacted the business regarding advertisements on their Craigslist ads stating:
- Licensed and insured
- Wiring heaters and air conditioners.
- Remodels, service changes, old work, new work, room additions, anything electrical you need done.
- A+ BBB
Basic Principles of the Code requires that advertisers should be prepared to substantiate any objective claims or offers made before publication or broadcast. Upon request, they should present such substantiation promptly to the advertising medium or BBB.
On February 26, 2023, the business responded to explain that the owner does not do any electrical work but directs customers to a licensed electrician. However, the NC State Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors requires that anyone advertising electrical work be licensed by their board.
As of March 15, 2023, the business has removed the BBB rating claim, but has failed to substantiate, modify or discontinue the other claims.
