"The “Comfort Specialist”, aka highly trained salesman, Jared Reeves was very professional and informative. He even came to my house on a Sunday to quote a new AC/furnace system, and he answered several texts with additional questions I had before signing the quote into a contract. The contract laid out, in very clear terms, what equipment would be installed and the labor involved. Unfortunately, that is where Jared’s communication stopped, despite his (and Eanes’) promise to make anything that wasn’t done correctly on the install or the equipment, made right. The day of install started early at 8am and ran long to 9:30pm. I was home the entire day, and I checked in several times to see how the progress was going. The installers were great, but I did have to question (and convince) them to replace the drain pan when they informed me they were not going to put in a new one. A new drain pan was included on the signed quote/contract, as the original was rusted in several spots and clearly needed to be replaced. After convincing them to do that, I noticed that the new return plenum and furnace drop which was included on the signed contract was not being done. When I questioned that, I was told that it was not included on the punch order. Jared (the salesman) and I specifically discussed the new return and plenum during his visit, as the inside of the original return/drop was quite dirty and dusty, naturally and perhaps the M-word (moldy). I did not feel the installers cut corners, but the new return and drop box promised by Jared and included in the contact were a hard “no, that wasn’t part of the plan” from the installers. I sent Jared a text immediately to inform him, but I did not ever hear back. The sale was done, and so it seems was he (despite sitting in my dining room with his sales pitch, promising that anything not done right would be made so, on his dollar if needed). I emailed Jared and Eanes Customer Service several times over the next week, and I got zero reply. I asked for a refund of the cost of material/labor on the return/drop that was in the contract and not fulfilled. Updated as of 7/30/2024 All issues have been resolved."

Electrical switches, outlets & fixtures installs or repairs FAQs
The majority of local building authorities require permits for new electrical installations, including basement outlets. These requirements ensure your installation meets safety standards, particularly important in basement environments where moisture exposure is possible. Professional electricians generally handle permitting as part of their service. Permit fees average approximately $50, though this varies by municipality.
Your circuit's capacity determines how many outlets it can safely support. High-power basement appliances like freezers, dehumidifiers, or workshop equipment may require dedicated circuits rather than sharing with multiple outlets. A qualified electrician can evaluate your electrical panel to determine whether additional circuits are needed for your basement outlet project.
Yes, the National Electrical Code mandates GFCI protection for outlets in unfinished basement areas. These specialized outlets, which cost around $240 installed (compared to $230 for standard outlets), automatically cut power when they detect ground faults, providing essential protection in potentially damp environments. This small price difference represents a worthwhile investment in basement safety.
Professional electricians can typically complete a basic outlet installation in approximately 1-2 hours, assuming straightforward access to existing wiring. More complex installations requiring new circuits or panel modifications will take longer. Multiple outlet installations become increasingly efficient, with each additional outlet requiring less time than a standalone installation.
