It’s so nice when you find an electrician you can really trust. FC Electric has been out to my house multiple times, three of which were to research and fix problems with its very strange wiring. Everyone who has been out has been polite, courteous, and knowledgeable - they’ve always gotten the work done right the first time, and quickly too. They are the only electricians I call.

This occurred on a weekend and Paul took extra time to ensure the problem was fixed. A++++!

Not sure how to rate... Called to receive an estimate on fixing grounding issue on some electrical outlets. Two men came fairly quickly. I told them the issue I was having and they got right to work.. Ten minutes later they had the issue fixed and asked for $120 bucks... No estimate given, they just fixed the problem without even discussing the fees with me... I wasn't in any mood to argue or anything... Was in the middle of selling the house so just happy to have the item checked off my list... But they gave me no breakdown on the charges, nor did I ask...
Also I noticed their shoes were muddy and they made no effort to clean them when walking on my floors...
Maybe it's just my inexperience dealing with contractors and I should have spoken up at the time... But I asked the person on the phone for estimate, not sure why that wasn't known by the people coming to my house.

"Dear customer, thank you for taking the time to review my company, I don't believe the crew who responded to your call were aware you were only looking for an estimate. I have talked with office staff and we have reinforced efforts to clarify this issue in the future. I can see on GPS monitoring of your call, they were at your home for 84 minutes that morning, your bill is typical for calls of that length. I wish you had a better experience with FC Electric. If you call again I will personally handle your call and ensure all issues are addressed to your satisfaction."

Service was performed by Dave. He and his assistant showed up on time and were very professional. The installation job took about 35-40 minutes. Paul quoted me a standard hourly rate of 91 dollars per hour over the phone and Dave honored this rate when he gave me the bill. They do not prorate, so I was charged 91 plus 28 dollars for the two circuit breakers that it needed. Overall, I'm satisfied.

Paul and his crew did a great job. He was quick to respond to my phone calls and texts. He gave me an accurate estimate that was on par with other companies in town. They did the work quickly and worked with me to schedule convenient times to do so. I am very happy with their work.

I was told that outlets could not be moved which i have later come to find that they can be, i believe this group just said they couldnt because they did not want the hassle. They did not even look at the garage outlets like i asked. They told me that they are all grounded,"they could tell". I am not an idiot, i have limited time, so when i had the time i checked my outlets and half are ungrounded. I have sense had them repaired. Almost every one of my switches and outlets are crooked in the wall, and obviously. They are not flush to the wall because i was told i have thin well, which i do. However, I have sense learned there are shallow mounts. ALSO, they did not replace the old metal electrical housing with plastic as i though they would because it is safer and code at this time. I overall i am not happy. They were very nice, prompt, and seemed to work diligently but i question overall quality of work at this time.

The serviceman arrived on time and made the repair, but first had to leave to purchase a switch, which I expected he would have on hand in his truck. When I made the appointment I was told that the service call charge was $71.00 and that it should be an easy fix, in which case it would not be more than that, but then I was charged for the time the serviceman took to go to the hardware store (which is 5 minutes from the house), for a total of 1 1/2 hours. So I ended up paying $160.00 for and quot;a quick fix - more than twice what was quoted. I called the owner but he told me that they do quality work and that the serviceman's time is tracked by a computer on the truck and he charged me for the time he was on the job. He said they can't keep every part they might need in the trucks, but this was a $1.50 plastic doorbell switch, not an expensive or out of the ordinary part. I never used an electrician or plumber before who did not stock basic parts on their truck and who had to run to the hardware store at my expense. I paid the invoice, but will not use them again.
Response from F C Electric
"We work very hard to keep our customers happy. We stock hundreds of parts on all our trucks and at our shop. It is impossible to keep every color, style and size of every device on hand. Most calls for a doorbell is the transformer and we stock that item 24/7. Our $ 71 service call is a fair price to receive a professional, insured, educated, electrician who can solve many problems. All of our people are awesome. We arrived at your home to find the doorbell switch faulty. We went to the hardware store and provided you with a new switch. No company who provides our level of service is going to arrive at your home and solve the problem for any less money."

Very happy with their work. They made sure the overhead lines easily clear our RVs. I think his price is very fair for the work they have done and I will continue to have them fix all the things mentioned above. They had to work around our family reunion (which they were happy to do) so we have decent power during the reunion. Will also have him set the NAT gas generator we are bringing down from my old house (it was never used except for testing so moving to Monticello where losing power is a weekly event). I cant recommend Paul and his team enough.
If this is the quality of contractors from Angie's List (this was my first trial using Angie's List), I will be using Angie's list a lot more!

"Thanks [removed member name]for the great review. We enjoyed your project for the awesome view your yard provides. It was interesting getting the power company to correct their issues. It took some persuading to convince them they had some issues. Once we were all on the same page, they got on it immediately. Looking forward to the rest of your project. Thanks Paul, Ian, and John"

Storm came Friday afternoon, they had us running on generator within a few hours, they rebuild the electrical service on the back of the house damaged by the tree. They even helped me move some of the tree out of the way, getting it off the house. They took care of the city permit and inspection on Monday. We were back on normal power by 4pm on Monday. They did an awesome job.

I trust and value the knowledge of my electricians at FC Electric. When shopping for an electrician I look for three things: honesty, professionalism, and convenience. As recent home buyers, we needed to fix some electrical issues. FC Electric came out, gave us a reasonable quote, and got to work right away. They worked around us and other projects occurring within the home. They respected our deadlines and answered any questions we had while explaining every detail, overall the communication is what made it so easy. Thanks Fc Electric for all the great work provided.

FC Electric was beneficial to us and they performed well. As a new home owner, I am often skeptical about who I choose to work on my wife's and I home. They came out and gave a me a reasonable estimate to rewire our unfinished basement, for free. Paul, the owner, confirmed that the guys would come and get to work on the project within my hectic scheduling needs. Art and Jeff were the techs that worked in my home, and they were respectful, knowledgeable, and eager to explain things to me, thoroughly to ensure my understanding. Their convenience was also appreciated, because we had several other projects going on in the basement, at the same time. Thanks FC Electric for a great start to finishing our new basement.

Troubleshooting electrical problem. I had to call them back with an additional issue (no fault of the service technician). I got a call back from the owner of the company asking why I needed to call back and if there were any service issues. The service technician was great and immediately came back to addressing additional issue.
I could tell the owner was very interested in having a satisfied company not just making a buck. Customer-oriented and very professional organization and I highly recommend them.

After a lengthy DIY Bathroom remodel, as I was hanigng the new Light, there was no power to the light switch and all atempts on my part to trace to root cause of the issue failed. I called Paul on a Thursday afternoon and he arranged for someone to contact me on Friday sice we had no light on that bathroom. I received a call Friday morning letting me know that Art and Ian would be to my house around 12:30 that day. Art called me shortly after noon to let me know that his current job was taking longer than planned and arranged to meet me at 1:30 instead.
In less than an hour they had power to my switch and also rewired a three way switch in the hallway that was not functioning properly. They were very friendly and asked me what I wanted them to do each step of the way before proceeding.
I was very pleased with the work, and I will definately use F C Electric in the future when I need an electrician.

I made a mistake about what was really wrong with my home electrical problem. They were very kind as to not charge me for making a visit. Very professional, prompt and they kept good communication going with me about my issue. Please give them a try before anyone else in Lafayette!!!!!!

"Thank you for a great review. We were only at this home for about 10 minutes, and it was simply a breaker issue. We drive by this neighborhood every day, it's hard to justify a bill for such a minor issue. Thanks again, Paul"

..Our electric company sent us a registered letter saying the meter needed to be upgrades to meet standards. I researched FC Electric because I knew this job would be a can of worms. I wanted someone who was professional, that was insured and bonded. After reading the reviews on this site, I felt assured we were getting someone honest and fair. He and his crew did an excellent job in a timely manner considering this happened through the holidays. I would recommend him to anyone.
