Came out the next morning and checked out the electrical outlets. The problem was we plugged in a coffee grinder and the cord flamed out. The electrician came out the next morning, because he knew this could be a big problem. After checking all the outlets on the circuit, determined it was an old, 30 year old coffee grinder. Our mind was at rest.

I did not expect someone who had resigned to come and work on my Panel. The worker did not care what he did as It was his last day on the job . He was already in a bad mood since He did not have any helper to do the Panel upgrade. Company was not willing to give any monitory compensation for delay and lack of service. I had to hire my own Electrician to make sure Panel was done right. There were short coming which I brought to the attention of the Company but they were not willing to offer compensation for full filling their commitment in a timely manner.

As other reviews have stated the office staff is not responsive. I called on February 1st and was told the estimator was not available and I would receive a return call. I waited 8 days without a call so I called again. The receptionist "Candice" was able to find my information but did not offer any explanation as to why nobody called. She said that they could have somebody out this afternoon and that it would be $185 for 2 hours of troubleshooting and any repair so I agreed. I mentioned Angie's List and the coupon on the page that was for electrical - $20 off service of $150 or more. She told me it was an old coupon for solar. I explained it said electrical then she said it was expired so I told her there was no date on it. Finally she said they were not part of Angie's List anymore and that they would not honor the coupon. Kylar and Keith were the 2 technicians who came. Kylar called ahead and told me when they expected to be here. They were punctual and friendly. They determined that it was not the breaker but that there was a short in one of the wires leading to the breaker. Unfortunately they were not able to determine where the wire ran so they just disconnected the wire that was causing the breaker to trip. (In their defense I had not been able to find any plugs or switches that were not working since the breaker had tripped). They handled the other issue quickly as well. I was happy Keith and Kylar but disappointed in the poor response from the office staff and the refusal to honor the coupon.

We used Direct Electric before and been very satisfied with them. This was the first time that we did not get called back right away and had to call multiple times just to get called back. They usually do charge a bit more than most companies, but they do really great work. Justin the installer is always great to work with. We will try them again next time and hopefully the responsiveness was a one time thing.

Guys showed up on time and were super friendly. I was able to watch and learn and they didn't mind teaching me a little something. Guys worked quickly, cleaned up any mess, and patched any area they had to open up to access. Will use again for future electrical wiring jobs coming up.
Description of Work
Installed recessed lighting in two rooms, rough framed in lighting for me to install drywall, ran wiring for under cabinet lighting, re-located 2 electrical sockets, and added fan drop wiring to two rooms. He also fixed wiring on an in-op outlet while he was wiring the cabinet lighting at no charge.

The install was good. Quick and effecient. The problem I had was with the job manager . I was quoted $179 to install fans.. The small print is where the additional fees catch you. Just because the fans were to be installed in a ground floor room, the price shot up. The other fan was installed upstairs... So, you mean to tell me it's going to take an additional $190 dollars to install a downstairs ceiling fan.. Total scam. The total went from a $179 for 2 fans install $380 to get 2 fans installed. Will never use these people ever again.

The coupon clearly states that its for existing prewired boxes. It also states on the coupon that if an electrical box is not currently there, that there would be additional charges. We had to run all new electrical for the fan downstairs, there was not an electrical box existing, hence the additional cost. I'm sorry you felt you were scammed, this was explained BEFORE we scheduled and she decided to schedule any way knowing the additional cost, she could've just gotten a refund. All I can suggest is reading the not so fine print. It's bullet pointed so you can clearly read it.
