JDS Electrical Services Reviews

I hired JDS to install two solar ventilation fans in my roof space ... their initial quote anticipated some complexity and hence a high price due to two person days being required and some vents in the eaves, installation of one fan in an awkward space with additional ducting and vents. Given their reputation and the recommendation from the fan manufacturer, I trusted JDS' quote and accepted. On the day of the job, two workers turned up and were efficient, polite and consultative. They advised me that the job was much easier and that they had already planned two other jobs that day. The install took less than three hours. JDS still insisted on invoicing the full complex job and not the actual work that they did. They knew the job was easier, had scheduled other jobs, but they misled us into a price of $4k even though the units themselves retail for $750 each (and JDS would not had paid retail). That leaves more than $2500 for the three hours work ! Yes, I accepted their quote but they exploited their professional expertise over my ignorance of this domain. If a car mechanic quoted $4k for a gearbox issue only to find out during the job that it was simply a loose connection and a 20 minute job, you'd call them shonky if they invoiced the $4k still. The job was completed satisfactorily but I find their commercial practices to be misleading and unethical. Please AVOID.

I have installed 3 systems with this installer. All have been high quality installations
