I would give them 0 stars if possible. We specifically contacted Crocker to come out and look at a house we were in the process of buying to determine if it had any knob and tube wiring. The seller was going to provide a credit for any electrical work that might need to be done as a result of knob and tube. The electrician from Crocker came out and spent about 20 minutes in the house testing to see if the outlets were grounded, then announced there couldn't be any knob and tube in the house because the outlets were grounded, and that wouldn't be the case if knob and tube were present.
They never opened up any outlets or lighting fixtures to actually check the wires. In fact, the electrician told us "You don't need to. You can't tell that way." We bought the house, and immediately once we started having some work done it became obvious there was knob and tube wiring present. We called in another electrician who found knob and tube throughout the entire house.
We are now paying many thousands of dollars to rewire our house, an expense we could have completely avoided by not buying this house, or at the least offset with a credit from the homeowner if Crocker had actually done their job. We've had at least three electricians in the house to look at it, and all said you could immediately tell there was knob and tube, and shook their head at how anyone could go through in 20 minutes and pronounce the house knob and tube free. I will never be calling or recommending Crocker Electrical again. Borderline unethical scammers.
