American Electrical Contracting Inc

The service person (James) was efficient in finding the solution to the bathroom receptacle problem. Regarding the under the sink outlet (in the kitchen) James provided us with some sound alternatives and made the repair in reasonable time. With the Angie's coupon the price was decent.

I reported an irregularity in electrical delivery to my AC condensor upon the recommendation of my AC maintenance provider. They responded as promised and called as they were enroute. Upon thorough examination, with meters, and visual observation, they showed me the safety of my equipment and wrote a report verifying the measurement of their meters on the equipment. They also gave me a reasonable quote for a future installation of a separate electrical circuit for my garage work area. Although the two electricians were thorough and professional, they were able to complete their work within a half hour and charge me only for the initial service call. I will call them back at a future date to install the circuit in my garage.

They sent a team of two men, who were on time and professional. The work involved going into the crawl space under the house, which has been known to bother some service providers, but they didn't even blink. They also knew, which we did not, that a special kind of hardwiring was required for dishwashers. I appreciate not only the expert work but also the expert knowledge. The completion time was about four hours.

Dining room light fixture was annoyingly off-centered. Work done by Ryan, J. and Justin was meticulous. They were professional, knowledgeable and very pleasant. While price was a little high, still well worth it. I will definitely use their services again and highly recommend them.

Gave me worst case scenario quote of $385.00, which scared me, but went ahead and had them come out. Arrived only hours after contacting them. Two very professional and qualified electricians arrived and did the job in less than 2 hours. Used the $25.00 coupon provided here on Angie's list. Will use them in the future.

When they installed the new box, they did not put my oven on a different circuit. Now whenever I use the TV and the oven at the same time, my breaker will blow. Also if my microwave and outside light are on at the same time, my breaker will blow. I called them a couple times to come out, and they said that I would have to pay them, but I paid $1800 for the box, and they wouldn't come to make sure there wasn't a problem. When I called them, they told me that they don't make mistake. I told them that before the new box, the oven was on a different breaker, and he said I was wrong. They didn't have good customer service. They put way to much into one breaker. I was not happy with them at all.

Overall experience with this company was excellent from start to finish. In my initial call I described to the receptist my requirements. She the connected me with an estimator and I got an over the phone estimate. A few days later I called back and scheduled a day for the job to be done which was the next week. The installers called on the way to the house a ns were there right on time. The workers were very curtious and completed the work in a timely manor with great professionalism.

The electricians arrived on time, were polite, knowledgeable and efficient. They completed work that was planned, they made a recommendation to protect the breaker panel with surge protection and corrected some problems that had been existing in my home since it's construction.

I called at 4:22, asking for service today if possible. I got a call back within 2 minutes that someone could come to help. By 5:00, the technician was here, and by 5:20 he was done. Great service, and complete in less that an hour from initial call to finish!!!

The two guys who showed up were very professional, and patiently answered my questions. They were finished in about 40 minutes and did a wonderful job. They even sprayed a wasp nest on my back porch as they were leaving! How's that for service? I would definitely use and recommend this fine company

Ray Pasukinski came out and gave me a bid while making several very useful suggestions as I planned the project. These suggestions resulted in significant cost savings and logical integration. He followed up before any other contractors to give me his bid even though he was the last one that I contacted. The pricing was better than most but not all. Given the reputation and the value that Ray brought during the planning phase, it was well worth paying a little extra. This project took several months due to the other trades that had to be involved but American Electrical showed up and completed each phase of their work on time and on budget with the highest level of professionalism I have experienced in working with contractors. Much of this was accomplished by Phillip the project manager. He made sure to inform me about what they were going to work on each day and followed up with letiing me know of the progress that was made each day that I was at the site. He also was flexible with changes I made during the project and informed me of any additional costs or savings when they applied before starting any change order. Phillip also went out of his way to make sure that I understood my wiring system and the breaker box's upon completion of the project. I found all of the employees of American Electrical to be customer focused and proficient at their respective jobs. I have a few followup items to have them look at but nothing at all out of the ordinary. I would absolutely use this company again.

My experience with this company was completely positive. They showed up when they said they would and they completed the job quickly and professionally. They explained what they replaced and took the old smoke detector away and the debris from the new one. But I was even more impressed with my after-experience. Even though the first team explained that they were required to install the new childproof outlets, when I went to use it for the first time, I couldn't plug a blow dryer in the outlet. Another team came out the same day I called and adjusted the outlet to loosen the child proof blocks and showed me how to place the plugs and watched me do it with the blow dryer to make sure it would work. I met them at the door and asked them to be quiet so as not to wake my old, sleeping dog and they were so understanding and awesome. She slept through almost the whole thing and didn't wake until they were almost finished and out the door. I would definitely use them again for any electrical needs I might have in the future.

I was going to install a replacement kitchen fixture myself over the weekend until I disassembled the old one and saw there was no electrical box in the ceiling and was mounted by only two toggle bolts. Erring to the side of caution and not wanting to get into more of a mess, I decided to wait til Monday and have a pro do the job. I called American about 9:30 am on Monday morning and Cathy cheerfully told me that she could have someone out that afternoon (BOY did that surprise me!). She told me she would call between 2 and 3 to let me know they were about 30 minutes away. At 2:15, Cathy called and said they were on the way. Ryan and Jess showed up about 25 minutes later. I showed them the "project" and in no time, they had the fixture installed. Ryan explained that what I had was normal for fluorescent fixtures and yes the toggles are par for course. He installed the fixture in such a way that the prior holes from the toggles (of course made bigger my removal) were not visible and ensured the fixture was stable and mounted properly. While they were there, I had decided to ask them to install the shop light in the garage, but before I could ask, Ryan gladly asked me if there was anything else they could do. Shop light installed pronto. All work done quickly, efficiently and most pleasantly. Ryan also took the opportunity to let me know about their Sycon House Surge Protection. After listening to his "pitch" and asking him several questions about the product, including "would you install this in your home?" (which he patiently and matter of factly answered for me and even said he had it installed in his home) I agreed. I have to say that this was the best service call I have had in recent years. You could not have asked for two more professional technicians who were there to do it right and exceed the customers expectations. Kudos American, as you have sold me on your company!

Overall, the experience went very well. I was pleasently surprised to discover that the problem had been taken care of the same day I called about it. In the tenant's email the next day to notify us that the work was done, she recommended we keep the company's information for future use. She must have been impressed!For people that do their own household repairs, the bill may seem a little steep, but dealing with this "long" distance required a licensed and trustworthy electrician. Thank you Angie's List for the recommendations and thank you American Electrical for your professionalism.

All of the above was completed in 2 hours. The men were very professional and kind. They took time to explain everything to me and answer my questions. They did not waste any time fixing what needed to be done. I am very impressed with the service I received and I would definitely use this company again if needed. Thanks American Electrical!

They did a good job. They are good people and are very skilled as well. I was happy and would use them again.

I don?t think it was necessary to even change the smoke detector. They sent out two men which seems unnecessary and I know I had to pay more because of that. I paid $40.00 for a smoke detector I did not need. Rather than try and solve the problem, they just wanted to sell me a whole new system of smoke detectors. I thought they were over priced and I would not call them again.

Overall, the service was great. I called on Tuesday and made an appt for Wednesday. Wednesday morning, I got a call from the electrician that would be at my house asking if they could come a little early. They arrived and got right to work. Quickly found the problem with the outlets, and then set to work with the outdoor lights. None of the lights had worked since we purchased the house, so they had to go light by light confirming that the wires and equipment functioned. Turns out, I just had a lot of burned-out bulbs. I think the cost might have been a little high--but the guys did good work, and they did a great job explaining the system to me so I can perform my own maintenance next time. I won't ask them to change light bulbs again, but I'd certainly call for any other electrical problems.

They have always done excellent work for me over the years, however this experience was a little different. The two young gentleman they sent made the hole somewhat wider than it should have been, but overall the service was good.

went very smooth. 2 guys showed up in a truck, came in, provided a quote and banged out the work. Price seemed a little high but they were worth it. It was done fast and right the first time. Perhaps other contractors could take a lesson from this and not just come out to do 75.00 quotes but actually work while they are there.

This experience went very poorly- price quoted changed , including the initial charge to service call (from 90$ to 45$) and only lowered when i argued about the initial quote. Overall price dropped when no one could identify what exactly was done. I was told a wire in the ground was found and cut- leaving me with a wire in the ground -where or what to - no one could say. Further, workers left heavy tool boxes on the ground in my garage - which prohibited me from parking my car until i could get someone to move them. Finally, when i continued to dispute the bill, a "trouble shooter" came to tell me what was really done. He charged an additional service charge- and once more at double the first quoted service charge. The 2nd service charge was reduced when i told the trouble shooter to send me a bill. Paying this charge brought me back to the first overcharge price. i am amazed at all the great reviews this company has. Perhaps if i were not a single female things would have gone better. I feel my poor knowledge base resulted in being taken advantage of.

Went flawlessly. The electricians telephoned before they left, arrived promptly, and took out the damaged underground line and replaced it. They also checked some interior wiring connections that I was worried about. They did this professionally and made sure to cover their shoes when entering my home. They did not charge for this service. They were very courteous and explained everything in layman's terms.

They came right on time and explained everything they were doing. Their office staff were also exceptional, including the estimator, scheduler and permit coordinator. A first class organization.

Estimate was prompt, price was fair, work was completed as promised.

I received a call 10 minutes before the two workers got there. They were very professional and forgiving of having to work around my old dog. I showed them each place where I was having trouble, and they diagnosed each - correctly - on the spot. They checked several outlets, replaced one, and hung my ceiling fan and new light fixtures in the bathroom. They were courteous, professional and clean. I would not hesitate to call them for anything.
