They were great. Thy guy was prompt, cordial, did his job and then left. It was not a screaming deal, just basically $15 off a two hour service.

For starters Scott had the address written wrong, but he called and we straightened it out and he was only down the street. But that explains the B grade in punctuality. He didn't have ivory colored outlet covers, so he didn't charge me for the white ones he put on. Everything else went smoothly. He was professional and courteous, the work was done well.
I had an $85 angie's list 2-hour deal. He charged $20 for parts, which seems a little marked up. That explains the B for price.

I have an older home with a few eccentricities and I felt very comfortable when I saw how experienced and efficient this electrician performed his work.  He was ready to handle any challenges in the job and explained to me what he was doing beforehand.  I was pleased  he finished so much in a short time and I would definitely call him again.

They did a nice job of explaining exactly what they would do, remapped our circuits so that any one circuit would be less likely to overload, and then performed the work in about the amount of time predicted. The price provided was a specific amount, not a variable per/hour amount, so that was anxiety reducing.
Igor, was very organized and delivered on everything he said. The crew itself was a little less careful than Igor. At one point they took a lunch break without locking up our place (their tools were at risk too). They were right outside the building, (a 20 unit coop) but did not see my neighbor go in to check on why our place was wide open. That was the only worrisome point in what was otherwise an ideal experience.
I recommend them.

This company we did not fully use, the came out when I had purchased the Big Deal and the rep. was honest and upfront and told me what I needed I could find at my local hardware store and to save my money. I will use this company in the future due to their honesty!

Scott did an excellent job. He installed 4 ft track light in my kitchen. The price was extremely reasonable for the $85 deal plus the extra time for installation and the wiring he provided. Scott came out to do the estimate and I was pleased to learn he could install the extra track light I wanted through an internal wire he installed in the ceiling. I had gotten a previous quote for double the price from another technician and he was going to install the light by adding a series of 'L' brackets and tracks on the outside of my ceiling which was the lazy way to do it. Scott was accurate with all his measurements and only had to make one hole in my ceiling to where the track light attached. It was a perfect job. Everything worked and I was extremely satisfied. He even insisted on sweeping up afterwards. Nice touch.

Scott was a total professional, and went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied and knew all of my options! He hung 3 different fixtures for us, 1 of which was a very heavy crystal chandelier. He was not comfortable with the support the manufacturer provided so made it more secure himself. He provided me with options and thoughts about light placement, and was completely honest when I thought that our front outdoor light may be broken but in fact I just hadn't screwed the bulb in tight enough. I plan to use him again to add another light or 2, and he would be the first person I would call for any kind of electrical issue! Very trustworthy, honest, prompt and professional, I would give him an A+ if Angie's List allowed it!

Very professional and friendly.  He showed up on time, and I found him to be very knowledgable, patient with all my questions, and helpful with estimates on future work.
I will definitely will be hiring him again.

I purchased an Angie's list deal that was two hours of an electrician for $85 which was a great deal. Scott did a nice job and arrived on time.  I was surprised that it took two hours to install two ceiling fans since one of them was just replacing an existing fan. This may be typical, I have nothing to judge it by. When finished, Scott showed me that the ceiling fan in one room wobbled quite a bit on high and medium speeds and asked me if I would like him to try and adjust the blades to eliminate the wobble. I declined the offer since upon arrival Scott informed me that anything over two hours would cost $65 per hour and it had already taken the full two hours.

I purchased the BIg Deal - $85.00 for two hours of electrician work.  He was great at letting me know what to do in preparation for him coming out so that no time would be wasted and he could get as much done in the two hours.  Scheduling was easy.  He came when he said he would and was able to repair the issues I hired him for without going beyond two hours.

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!!!  Good communication.  Called when he was on his way and the night before to confirm.  Polite and friendly.  Explained everything that he needed to do and offered options when they were available.  Answered all questions I had.  Was neat and tidy as can be.  When I made the appt it was for the light fixture switch only.  He finished and then fixed 3 other misc problems I had.  Grounded everything he worked on because they weren't grounded before.  Extremely safety conscious.  I got the service on a coupon of $85 for 2 hrs of service.  I thought he went over the 2 hrs but he only charged me $20 for parts.   He's coming back to estimate a planned upgrade on my electrical panel.

I asked if Economy Fence Inc. the fencing company I hired knew of an electrician to do some conduit work. They referred me to Stockwell Electric. I checked all of Stockwell Electric's reviews on Angie's list to satisfy myself. 
The reviews were good and there were a number of them. I count on these reviews a lot when hiring service people I haven't used in the past.. 
 Economy Fence Inc. went the extra step by calling Stockwell Electric to explain what  needed to be done before I called. 
This wasn't a big job in terms of money or time, which often means you get pushed back until a  time frame opens.
Mr. Stockwell and I spoke shortly afterwards. I described and confirmed on the phone what repairs were needed. I was told  what materials would be needed, the cost, the approximate time it would take and set a schedule.
Mr. Stockwell showed up exactly on time, with all the materials needed to make the repairs
He was very professional and did a great job. I will certainly use him again. 
I  highly recommend him to all of you.

Wasn't able to find a date to get the work done as he was very busy on the only day of week that worked for us (Fridays) and Imam traveling the next 2 Fridays so unfortunately had to postpone the work. He was very prompt in responding though and did his best to make it work. I would recommend him to anyone looking for electrical work.

Despite the cold weather, he finished it up in good time. When it was installed, he took a few minutes to instruct us in how to use the lamp. He was prompt and courteous, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to others or hire his services again myself. All the work was covered by his coupon.

Scott was running a little late but he called well in advance to tell me. He arrived at the revised time which wasnt to far off the original time. Scott raised a hanging dining room light fixture from table height to ceiling height. He asked me for input on how high I wanted the light and then performed the work quickly and efficiently. Scott also repaired a recessed light in the kitchen that I had damaged when inserting into the ceiling. He was able to safely repair the wires thus saving me the time and trouble of purchasing and installing a new fixture. Lastly he replaced the dimmer switch that blew. Scott completed the work quickly and I am very happy with the results.
