131 Miguel was very responsive to questions and concerns during installation, even though he went on a planned vacation while my work was being done. (His son covered for him.) 4 stars for quality because the woodwork around my water heater closet was quite banged up during the removal/install...
Torres Plumbing, LLCThey are one of those companies which tells you one thing but does something else. They are short-staffed for installers and have canceled a couple of times. The salesman was very slick.

"Chris was very professional, on time, and went above and beyond to help me get my project done! I was in a hurry to get a stove installed. I also had some other lights and outlets I wanted installed, but weren't urgent- but he fit them in (even though it wasn't really planned). He left the project very clean- and was extremely fast getting everything installed. I will hire him every time I need electrical work from here on out!!"

"Working with Rush security has been highly disappointing and mediocre at best. We had multiple missed appointments with their technician until I put my foot down and said I'd cancel service if they did not show up. He started to show up after that, but just for a couple days and in my opinion still did subpar work. At first, the alarm system would not register away, only "stay". Then the doorbell camera was constantly ringing even when no one was there. The motion detector also does not work. Next, we paid $400 for equipment and a $75 monthly monitoring. I wish I would just gone with Ring because they are cheaper but I wanted to support local. When we asked to cancel we were told we'd have to pay a 1400 cancellation fee to recoup the loss of having an electrician come out and for the 'low' $75 monitoring and to buyout the contract. Initially, we were told they offered no contract service, which was the only reason we went with them. I did the math and that 1400 fee would total out to about 1.5 years of subpar service. No thanks. We took the loss but you do not have to, go with someone else or just install your own alarm"

I encourage the reader to thoroughly read this text since it has important context: I specialize in residential home wiring, meaning I know how to work with Romex and I received a basic introduction into industrial EMT conduit bending and conduit wiring. I have OSHA 10 General Industry, OSHA 10 General Construction and Safety certifications, as well as a forklift certification, driver's license, and other satellite certifications regarding tool and workplace safety. I'm also a licensed Technician Class amateur radio station operator who's studying for General Class operator, and lastly, I'm a drafter and CAD user (3+ years of experience). I graduated from the Wind River Job Corps trade school, located in Wyoming. My training lasted exactly 1 year. My most recent project was wiring a large residence and it passed inspection. I take education very seriously. I'm moving to Durango in mid August of 2024 to study engineering; I will be a full-time college student there. I'm looking for a more experienced electrician to get my foot in the door. I've applied for an electrician apprentice license in the state of Colorado in June, and it's pending supervision, which means that I must find a Master or equivalent to work under. I have strong reasoning that job listing websites such as LinkedIn, ziprecruiter, and equivalent, often look for an electrician Journeyman or equivalent who can work 40+ hours a week. I deemed it appropriate to make a profile for Angie's list so that I may have less sanctioned outreach to other electricians. Please note, if I'm going to work on a residence, then you must know that unless an electrician takes me under their wing, I cannot receive an electrician's apprentice license for the state of Colorado, which was what I expected long before finishing trade school. With this being said, please feel free to call or email me if you have any questions.

"I was nervous at first due to my inexperience with security systems and protocols, but Kevin at Herringbone was incredibly knowledgeable and understanding. The previous encounter I had with another provider left me feeling like I was getting in over my head as I was treated like an idiot and talked down to. I was almost taked into spending close to 40% more for a similar system, and a few bells & whistles I didn't need, or request! Kevin was very thorough and to be honest...patient. I ended up with a system I could manage, a professionally installed fence, and an alarm system that fit my needs completely. To say I am happy with Herringbone's services would be an understatement!"

The average cost of a home security system is about $700, ranging from $280 to $1,150. Costs to consider include equipment, surveillance fees, and other additional features. Cost factors that determine your system’s price include the type of security system, materials, labor, activation fees, monthly fees, and permits. Additional features and upgrades may include:
Video surveillance monitoring: $40–$65 per month
Smart home locks: $150
Smart home lighting: $15–$90
Smart smoke, fire, and carbon monoxide alarms: $35–$100
Smart thermostat: $130–$500
It’s important to ask an electrician a few questions before you commit to hiring them so you can make an informed decision as a consumer. If you’re getting estimates or considering hiring an electrician, ask them these questions:
Are you a full-time electrician?
Are you bonded, licensed, and insured?
What level of experience do you have as an electrician?
Can you please share three references?
Do you do residential or commercial electrical work?
What kinds of electrical work are you most familiar with?
Will any subcontractors be performing the work?
Are permits and inspections required?
Who is responsible for obtaining permits and inspections?
What is your schedule?
Do you offer a guarantee or warranty on your work?
Will you sign a do-not-exceed clause to keep the job within the budget?
Yes, you should get a quote or an estimate from an electrician. Most electricians offer free estimates or quotes. When getting quotes, do your research and verify each electrician’s license. Get quotes from three different electricians to compare. If the prices or items listed appear different on the quotes, ask the electrician to clarify. Learning as much as you can about the electrical work you want done will help you get the most accurate estimate.
Yes, a home security system can be worth it for your peace of mind alone, but it can also save you up to 20% on your home insurance. The insurance savings will help defray the initial setup costs and subscription costs over time. Locations with higher crime rates also make home security systems a valuable investment, but it ultimately depends on your personal preferences and asset values.
Qualified, licensed electricians will charge from $50 to $100 per hour. The cost to hire an electrician for emergency visits may range from $100 to $200 per hour because this urgent service usually takes place during off hours and may require an electrician to leave or reschedule jobs they’re currently working on. Scheduling work on holidays or during periods of high customer demand, like after a major storm, will also lead to higher rates or extra fees.
