I would not do the $99 special again, especially if 2 electricians showed up. If someone else does this I would suggest they refuse the 2 electricians unless the electricians said they second one was just along for the ride and you still get your 2 hours.
Description of Work: I tried the $99 special for 1 electrician for 2 hours. Instead I got 2 electricians for 1 hour which I did not want since 2 guys cannot be busy at the same time doing the work I wanted done and the 1 hour went by very fast. I had some work done previously by another electrician and they did not want to do additional new work that tied into the previous work. They had to make several phone calls to try and contact the owner to inform him that they recommended not working on the project the other elec did. I ended up just had them replace a indoor plug, hooking up the wiring and called it a lesson learned.

Response from Charles Young Electric
Due to the popularity of our Big Deal specials we can be booked out from 1-2 weeks. We make every effort to schedule people as quickly as possible. However, we cannot ask our other customers who have already waited for their services to be performed to accommodate somebody who has called us and wants their work to be performed within a day or two. If you are in need of work being done and you have a specific time frame then we urge you to call and ask us what our scheduling is like.

Charles was very prompt in responding to my request. I told him what I wanted and also a little extra, and he was eager and ready to do the work. Unfortunately, we couldn't make our schedules match, and later I decided I no longer wanted a fan installed. Instead, I talked to him about putting a light on another fan, and that is on hold right now, mainly because of my schedule. So, even though he did not do the original job, he has expressed continuing availability to do the other work I need--I will report again as soon as that work is completed.
Description of Work: None so far.

It went well from beginning to end. They sent two people to do the work who were professional and personable. They were very patient answering my questions and making suggestions. In fact, installing the programmable thermostat, which was not part of the original service request, required calling the manufacturer, and was handled in a very patient manner.
Description of Work: They checked all the electrical outlets in the master bedroom, the wiring for the ceiling fan, reconnected the fire alarm, and connected a programmable thermostat upstairs. I had purchased a coupon for $150.00 of Labor through Angie's list.

They arrived on time and got right to work Charles and I had discussed the job on the phone previously. They werre very professional, time efficient and thorough. We are very satisfied with their work. Will definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Charles & his assistant Seneca put a ceiling fan with light in our gazebo. They also rewired the ceiling fan in one of our bedrooms that was operated by a malfunctioning 3 way switch. They replaced the wall switch as well. They also put up a motion light at the corner of my house.

As usual, Charles and his assistant arrived on time, came prepared with all parts necessary, and installed the fan in an efficient manner. Time was taken to assure that the blades of the fan were in balance. Good work all around!
Description of Work: Charles Young installed a ceiling bedroom fan. He also replaced the unit holding the fan as it was not appropriate for the size of the fan.

See statement above to provide answers to this question.
Description of Work: Four company employees arrived at agreed upon time and date and got right to work. They had a good natured race to see which team (2 people each) could remove the old fans, and install, balance and test the new ones. They performed their jobs with professionalism, completing the installation of a second fan for the same price as the Angie's List special. They cleaned up after themselves leaving the work areas they found them.

Charles and helper arrived on time, surveyed the kitchen and situation and gave advice on placement of the ceiling lights. Performed in a timely manner and recommended a better switch. He went out and got the correct one (extra charge, but that was OK). Very happy with his work.
Description of Work: Charles was very helpful when we made the appointment, making sure we were on the same page for installing lights in the ceiling. I took advantage of the special on Angie's List, so didn't get any other estimates. Charles recommended a difference light switch...more heavy duty and I agreed. Work was great - very happy with the kitchen lights.

Charles responded to my email right way and we agreed upon a time to do the work. He called ahead to let me know he was on his way and arrived at the expected time, with a helper. Together they did the work promptly and to my eye professionally. They cleaned up the sheetrock dust from cutting the new boxes. We are very happy with the deal and their work and would use them again.
Description of Work: We took advantage of an Angie's List deal and had Charles Young Electric add two switch boxes to convert existing single switches into three way switches and straightened out some wiring on a four-way switched circuit that had improperly connected switches. We supplied the switches, boxes and covers for the expansion work.

I knew what I wanted done and had purchased the parts that were needed ahead of time. The transformer was purchased at the suggestion of the electrician whom I had contacted through Angie's List, but the timers I had purchased in anticipation of the service.The two electricians who arrived were very efficient and courteous, and understood exactly what it was I wanted done. They each took one of the tasks and they were finished within a short time. I couldn't have asked for anything to have been done any better!

The crew of 3 arrived very close to "on time" and began work immediately. They dealt with 2 other trades at work and still finished the job and cleaned up afterword. I will be calling Charles for more work. Although his estimate was very good, he did add on (but I did ask for 2 more lights and some extra work). Still very happy on how the project turned out.
Description of Work: Charles and his crew came out and remove a box lighting with 8 florecent lights. He then framed out the lighting/box area for future sheet rock, and then installed 8 LED lights in my ktichen. The crew put up with countertop installers as well at cabinet refinishers so it was quite hectic in the kitchen.They lined up the 8 lights so that it looked symetrical and were very good about cleaning up afterwords. I will be arranging another appointment with Charles for 1 more light. He really tried to work with us on placement of lights and the finished project came out quite nice.

Let me begin by saying my house is old (c 1955) and was apparetly built by idiots! No single project here - big or small - goes off without some sort of problem cropping up. So, I called the company and got a prompt response and an appointment set for approximately 4 days later. The gentlemen (there were two of them) showed up on time and set right to work. The old fixtures were removed and the new ones installed in just over an hour and then trouble arose because the switch did not work right. After a goodish bit of sleuthing they discovered that when the two fixtures (which originally were controlled by a single switch) were rewired so that each had its own switch the two had been incorrectly wired. That took a bit of time to work out but they soon set it to rights and even took the time to help us hang a third fixture which required no wiring but did need a ceiling hook. They were finished in the two hours and did not charge me any additional dollars even tho' I got two electricians for two hours instead of the promised one. All in all this was a great experience! They were efficient, friendly, personable and knowlegable and i will certainly call them again when the need arises
Description of Work: Replaced two ceiling light fixtures and corrected a faulty wall switch.
