The work was done by the owner himself and his top foreman, since all of their other crews were busy that day. They showed up on time and worked quickly for over three hours. They raised the lead-in on the roof, removed the old breaker box and installed the new box rated for 200 amp service. They also labeled all the new breakers. The power to the house was off for only 3 hours and everything was prepared for the line crew who came 2 days later to raise the line from the pole. The city inspection found no problems with all this work. I would highly recommend this company - Kal was very friendly and hard working and the final bill was $300.00 LESS than the initial estimate. That is certainly worth an A!
Description of Work: KAL electric did the initial inspection of the house we were interested in buying. The electrical service was found to be somewhat unsafe because of the remodeling by the previous owner. After we bought the house we had KAL proceed with the upgrade. The project consisted of upgrading from 60 to 200 Amp service, raising the lead-in at the house (the wire from the pole was too low) and replacing and upgrading the breaker box in the basement.

I need a ceiling fan replaced after a blade was broken off the existing fan. The gentleman from KAL Electric called me in route to my house so I could leave work to meet him. He was very friendly and professional. After he was finished he offered to take away the old ceiling fan and vacuum up the little bits that were left on the carpet after installing the new ceiling fan.

I thought the price was reasonable. They were professional, but some things had to be redone after the inspector came out. They did come back right away to redo the minor things that the inspector caught. I was comfortable with the guys in the house.
Description of Work: I had an electric line over the deck that was too low. It needed to be moved due to the deck being built. They had to install a conduit on the outside of the house. He looked at the box inside and said it was not up to code. It had to be taken out and a new one installed. The inspector came out and some things needed to be moved. He came out twice and some things had to be redone each time.

They never got back to us. I didn't have a problem with them, but it was frustrating that I took the time to be here and show them the project and then no one got back to me. I would still work with them though.
Description of Work: We had them out to look at 2 small projects. One was to troubleshoot and the other was to replace bad wiring. They came out and were going to give us a bid.

I dealt with Brad, and he is really a good guy. He didn't do the work, but he sent a crew of guys out to do the job. They did a great job on the bathroom, making sure that the outlets were installed properly. I would hire them again if I had need of that kind of work again.

The electrician arrived within 15 minutes of the scheduled time. He had me show him each light to be replaced, advised me of the options and possible problems that might arise with my older home wiring, and then completed the work requested. He was friendly, efficient, and completed the jobs as expected.
Description of Work: I had three light fixtures replaced with ceiling fans and an outdoor security light replaced with a new security light.

It went very well. I am very pleased. They weren't able to come out on the day we agreed to due to weather. But came out the very next day and instead of the two days they originally said it would take it took one day. It was completed on the time agreed! The installers were very professional and cleaned up their messes. They were very punctual!
Description of Work: They replaced 2 ceiling fans. Installed a ceiling fan where they once was not one, grounded several outlets, added outlets, changed 3 outlets to GFI outlets, replaced wall switches, installed a light switch, installed two outdoor lights, replaced one outdoor light, installed dryer conduit and replaced light fixture.

I had a sparking, smoking GFCI outlet in the kitchen over the weekend. I called first thing Monday and was able to schedule a service call for Tuesday. Mike showed up on time and very quickly diagnosed the problem (ants invading the outlet and shorting it out!). He replaced the outlet with an upgraded one and showed me how it worked. He remembered on his own to give me the 5% Angie's List discount. He even reassured me that their copy of the bill that had my credit card number would be shredded as soon as it went through for my security. Next thing I knew, he was done and I was on my way back to work! Very efficient...they definitely know what they're doing.

The installers were very professional and careful moving in their tall ladder and helpful in judging fixture height (and patient while I pondered this). They were very willing to please, to make sure I was happy with the final installs. They had to return a second time to install the dining fixture because we miscalculated the chain length and it was too short. I appreciated their effort to help determine this the first time for no charge.
Description of Work: Installed a two-story entryway fixture and vaulted ceiling dining room chandelier.

Brad came out early and dove right into the troubleshooting. Having watched a number of trades-folk do troubleshooting, good and bad, I felt right off that Brad knew what he was about. Why was I so sure, he keyed right into the replacement outlets and switches that I had done. And, of course, he was right. I had wired a switch correctly but had picked out the wrong switch for the application. He wired the switch and magically everything worked again. Looking at my "mystery" switch, he was able to determine that it was there to control a ceiling fan that may have been in the dining room. All in all an excellent experience, and lesson for me! Well worth the price.
Description of Work: Electrical troubleshooting; included diagnosing why a variety of outlets were not working and identifying why a light switch did not seem to be working.

The rep arrived early, installed all the fixtures and cleaned everything when he was done. I will definitely remember them again when I have these needs.
Description of Work: The rep installed a new entry-way light fixture, dining room light and kitchen fan. We were not able to be there so we left the garage door code. He installed everything then called me because we left out the incorrect watt bulbs. He also informed me that I had written the check for too much and asked me to please submit another check.

They showed up on time to do the work. They were friendly and professional. They explained things to me during the process of their work. They cleaned up everyday after they were through working and also at the end of the job. I'm actually thinking about hiring them again for some more work soon. They are a great company! I would highly recommend them.

They came out figured out the problem quickly, fixed it and even replaced the outlet plates to cover up a remodeling mishap. They were fast and efficient, as opposed to previously using an independent contractor that had charged me more than double and made 3 trips and never resolved the problem. I am very satisfied with their service and will definitely call them again!

We noticed a problem on a Friday, with 2 outlets in our kitchen (they functioned intermittently). My husband replaced one outlet and it SEEMED to fix BOTH. But on the following Tuesday, with my husband out of town on business, I woke to find that the original two outlets weren't functioning, PLUS 2 more, which included one for our stand alone freezer. I got KAL Electrics info off the Angie's' List site and made the call at 8 a.m. I explained I would be available after 11 a.m, due to an appointment. I was told someone could come between 11 and 4, which was fine with me. Even better, the repairman (in this case also the owner of the company) came before noon. He listened to what had been going on and what we'd tried, and said he believed he knew the problem. It was an adjacent (always functioning) outlet which was causing it, and it was a fire hazard. Showed me the area which had dark spots from heating up. He did a wonderful job in a timely fashion and kept us safe.
Description of Work: Replaced a faulty outlet.

Brad Kalush provided prompt and courteous service. Brad explained how he would repair the pipe that slipped on the electrical box. Because the quote was fair I decided to add an additional electrical outlet to the outside of our home. Brad coordinated with KCPL a date and time and the work was completed in less than a week after the initial call. The three electricians were on time, courteous, and knowledgeable. The entire jobs from start to finish took 1 hour.
Description of Work: Repaired slip joint to the main electrical box and installed a weather proof GFI electrical outlet for fountain in backyard.
