Beware of Neil Fallon electrical



My split system air-conditioning unit had stopped working so I asked Brisbane's Neil Fallon electrical to look at it.  The firm does advertise that it does repairs.

They charged me $232 to diagnose and quote on the fault -- all for an hour's work.  Work at that rate did not interest me so I sent the guy away immediately and gave the job of replacing the unit to someone else.  I think they outsmarted themselves there.

UPDATE:  I note that Fallons did give me a quote for a new installation -- of over $2,000.  The firm I finally gave the job to -- Brisbane Air are doing it for $500 less than that.  And I know from past experience that their work is high quality.  Instructive.

  1. I have not used Fallon Solutions for electrical work, but have heard that they also do plumbing (hope there reputation is better on the plumbing side). FYI - For any plumbing jobs that I have, I used NJR Plumbing in Clontarf, Brisbane.
