It is an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. So far it has been great. They have to come back and do a couple of things. I had it set too low. They normally set it at 90 degrees. It sounded awfully high to me but now I realize why. I had them put it down to 85 and it was heating 24/7. They are coming back and they are going to put it back to 90. They have been very responsive in my calling and setting up another time for them to come back and redo it. I got one for my son also. I have been very pleased. They came on time and did everything fast. Mine was so easy that they were probably in and out within 45 minutes. They were here when they said and they got it in quickly. They were very polite. They cleaned up completely after themselves and they have been responsive to my concerns. I have recommended them. I checked out the price with a friend that is an electrician and he said that if it included the installation plus the product, then I should go for it. He said the price was probably closer to the price of the product. I would absolutely use them again. I am considering having them put in some lighting.

I called Michael J. Dove to see if what I needed could be done with the deal I found on Angie's List. He was confident and had no worry that his employee could do it.
I purchased the deal, and Michael accommodated me with an appointment that fit my schedule.
The appointment was at 8 am and the electrician arrived at 7:30 am all ready to go. He started and did not stop until he was done (only to go get a part that I did not have). He was professional, polite, covered all of my floors and furniture not to get them dirty, and patched up the holes that were needed to run the wires & re-textured. He did excellent work!!!
I am so pleased with Michael J. Dove, that if I need electrical work in the future, he is the first I will call!
He deserves an A+++

The technician arrived three hours late, it appeared there was a miscommunication between him and his boss. I showed him the light that I wanted repaired and he went to Home Depot to get an install kit and bulb to replace it. He asked me what kind of replacement I wanted and I explained that I just wanted it to be able to current day light bulbs that I wasn't interested in doing a remodeling of the light fixture. I told him I was keeping the cost down because I'm not ready to do any remodeling. Unfortunately, that was a miscommunication because he installed a shop light kit. My husband saw it and explained to me why it was so different from what we had, a greenish glow and quite a bit of flickering when I turned it on. I called and said that they needed to fix it so the manager said it wouldn't be for a couple of days because they had other jobs scheduled. Three days later the same technician came and we went to Home Depot so that I could buy the appropriate kit and he could buy the pieces he needed. Once the job was finished it was a good install. I just think that the technician wasn't too familiar with lighting products.


Response from Michael J Dove

"[removed members name], I am sad that you gave such a poor review. We failed on our timeliness, I agree, this was disappointing for me as well. However, we did make a number of phone conversations to work the corrected timing out. As far as the part that was purchased on your behalf, it is always our policy to install the fixture that is provided. The technician did as he was requested, "Purchase the least expensive fluorescent fixture you can, it won't be seen anyway." Was the report I received. However, at our own time expensive, after a phone call of dissatisfaction, we came back and replaced the fixture with another one. For standing behind our installation, and returning without complaint to satisfy your need, we received no credit. Mike"

He was on time and very polite. Cleaned up after himself and left no mess. Glad he had extra fixtures on hand. No trip to Home Depot needed. Very fast too! I ran out of work for him to do in the hour...didn't linger on the job. Awesome.

Michael was great.  One of the new fans was defective and he offered to return it to Home Depot as I had other repair men coming to the home that day.  I did pay him for the extra time (very little).  He was on time and he did return the following week to do other electronic repairs.   Very nice man that you can trust and does not charge an arm and a leg.  He is my new electrician from now on.
I have this fan in the family room and it was too low.  He is the only person that said that he could raise by removing the shaft... Very pleased.
Thanks,
Karen

Job took longer than anticipated. Total job took 4 hrs. Similar job performed by another electrician took 2 hours. Identified issue with the breaker but were unable to fix. Had to hire second electrician to fix.

"Every job has its own set of issues. To say that one job took two hours and the same job took four hours says nothing about the peculiarities of the job."

Josh called me to see if he could come earlier than originally scheduled and that worked out really well for me. He came and got right to work and installed the two fans efficiently. Josh was very polite and professional.

My experience with them was alright. They just did not seem to have the answers and the electrical knowledge that I needed them for. I needed them to kind of a consult for an install. They specialize more on lighting and this is not a lighting job. So, they just tend to not know the answer for what I needed.

There were good communications in setting up the appointment.  Mike was very friendly and efficient.  He arrived on time, and the work was done professionally and efficiently.  As requested he kept all parts together for the old fans so they could be given to someone else.
I highly recommend Michael J. Dove and would use him again.

It went great! They were a few minutes late--due to train and called me, which I very much appreciated. They came in and with canvas and plastic sheeting encased the entire area in the kitchen to keep the mess to a minimum. They were very polite and really hard workers. They never even stopped for lunch. They were careful to keep the door closed--as I could not find one of my cats and I was afraid he would get out. They removed the previous old light fixture and then patched the wall. I was asked where I wanted the placement of the four new lights and wow--just like that--four new holes were drilled and four new lights installed. They dry walled the entire area and not a seam shows. They ensured the lights go on from both switches. Clean up was done quickly and there was zero mess for me to clean up. After I had purchased this item on Angie's list--Mr. Dove had emailed me with a list of questions about the light fixture and informed me about the process and the time it would take. I've had several house repairs/changes done in the past--this light fixture replacement was by far--the best, quickest and professional job I've ever has done. The difference in the lighting is truly day and night. I love it. Thank you so much, Mr. Dove and please give my thanks to your crew. Dawn Nelson

Michael J. Dove is Awesome! He is professional, courteous, friendly and an expert in his field. During installation he came across
a few problems with both the fan and the controller. He was diligent in completing the project with precision. I highly
recommend him for your electrical projects.

Michael responded quickly and we were scheduled the first day we requested for service.  He communicated well and in a timely fashion and the work was done professionally.  We are pleased with our new fans and they work beautifully.  We asked Michael to give us bids on future projects and will likely hire him again for additional work now that we know his expertise and professionalism.

Great!  Responded to my purchase within 2 hours and scheduled the appointment for the next day.  He arrived early (after a phone call to verify that is was ok), and proceeded to install a ceiling fan and then the sensor lite on the front porch.  He was able to over come some issues with older construction and installed the fan as it should be installed.  Same with porch lite.   
Very fast response and great service.  Would recommend to everyone who wants the job done correctly and very quickly.
