The lighting in the bathroom was great but we were originally told they could fix our exhaust fan because it was blowing cold air in our bathroom. I even spoke to Richard about it before they did any work. The lighting was put in and his awesome helpers re-measured for the part on the exhaust fan and said Richard would "square up the bill with us" when the part came in. Over 2 weeks had passed and I had to call and text Richard several times about wanting him to fix the fan. I also wrote a note when I sent the payment for the lights, reminding him that he said they would do it. When he finally answered the phone, he knew why I was calling and probably regretted picking up the phone. He said "we don't really do duct work." This information would have been helpful in the beginning. When I told him that our original electrician installed the exhaust fan and asked if they should not have done it, he said they can do that work. It seemed like mixed messages to me. He suggested I contact a plumber and I told him that my concern is a plumber may not want to do such a small job. I knew there was no convincing him to do the right thing and honor what he said. If I owned a business, I would have done the work and told my employees that in the future they are to say they can not help with an exhaust fan. It was really frustrating and unfortunate that he could not consider how it felt to take showers in a cold bathroom.

"I regret that this customer was not satisfied with our work and it became really clear that his unusual ducting situation was not in the realm of what is normally done and in fact i spoke to [Member Name Removed] right away about why not getting the original installer to fix his installation? I went to three of my supply houses and asked for something that might work to repair this situation and as electrical (not Mechanical HVAC shops they in the end after repeated calls told me that they had not the right part. I told [Member Name Removed] that we were having problems with this and that it might not be our in our ability to do this right. And yes from now on as in most of our contracts. The builders make sure the duct work is up to code and done professionally."

never showed up to do work, said he would come on a day of week but no show
Response from Adams A+ Electric
"This customer had bought an offer discounted and offered in error by Angie's list at a wrong amount firstly. And the problem with some one buying an offer it has come to our conclusion that this binds us to an agreement that cant always be fulfilled in a timely manner. We had previously worked at his site and found many dangerous situations and corrected a few. We advised him accordingly. He said in time he would have us come out to possibly correct them. Then Winter broke out and some times I choose if it is safe to have my men work in some conditions as to provide a safe installation. I called him and explained this to him and was actually planning to have my guys show up this week since the weather got better. How Ironic. I am sending him the total amount he paid today . I keep stressing that even though a customer's needs are very important our company may have scheduled out way ahead of their needs and I try to be very clear about this. Almost every electrician I talk to says they are crazy busy and it seems that we do not have enough in the trades to help all of our customers as as soon as they need us. My condolences."

A previous electrician thought it didn't need it but the bulbs (LED's) kept burning out, Mr. Addams explained that the sensor in the old fixture could not handle LED's and that the fixture was so old that it should be replaced--which is what I had wanted in the first place,. Mr. Adams replaced the fixture within a week. always called to explain any delay like the warehouse didn't have what I should have and when he would come. It was such a relief to have this professional do what he said he would do in a timely way. One last thing, he noticed that the lamp post light bulb was too low a wattage and replace that too. i could not be more pleased.

The electricians worked quickly and efficiently using skills and instincts honed by experience to maneuver new wires through invisible and almost impossible spaces. When small holes were necessary, they expertly filled them and used a drop cloth and vacuum cleaner to leave the areas clean. They took pride in their workmanship from start to finish leaving me very satisfied with the entire project.

My sincere apologies to Adams. Back in December of last year I wrote a partial review. My bad! They deserve an A rating then & now. He replied to my original review with an accurate assessment of the work completed. He was extremely professional & did not try to over service or sell. We are very pleased w/ the job.

Richard, the owner, came first to discuss what I wanted done the on another occasion 2 of Rick's men came and did the work. They were wonderful!! They explained what they were going to do then got right to work. They worked diligently and were very skilled and professional. They cleaned up after they finished and were very friendly.

Zeke, and Eric were very creative and kind to my nearly 100 yo arts and crafts style home. Efficient with placement, small size and low number of holes for access; excellent repair and clean up; good ideas, suggestions. They knew what to do and how to get the job done. Having them fix the holes instead of hiring a second person worked very well!!! Left me feeling that they take pride in their work and care about the needs of home owner. Thank you Adam's Electric, Rich, Eric, Zeke.

Richard worked thoughtfully with me to figure out the best route for the wiring (from an installer's point of view) and that would provide the least visual intrusion (from the user's point of view).  Richard's crew was superb -- efficient, respectful, and careful (cleaned up after themselves!).  When the kiln had been delivered, Richard came back to inspect the wiring, then plugged in the kiln and checked that the draw was correct and everything in order.
Very pleased.  I'll be calling him in for any future electrical work!

"Hi Folks . I noticed your review says we did not do any work yet. I do propose that my expert advise led you to get and instal a product for your heating system and then we came and repaired an outlet at your request. Is everything else to your satisfaction? Sincerely, Richard Adams"

Adams A+ Electric has done a lot of work for us over the years. Most important was his work eight years ago in wiring our addition. The work has been consistently good, though many contractors do good work. Perhaps as important, he is reachable: by phone and text, and he responds immediately or else the same day. I have recommended Adams A+ to numerous friends, and will do so again. (Other friends have also been happy with the service.)

Richard Adams' work is neat and professional. He is very happy to explain exactly what he is doing to you. He is also very knowledgeable about home improvement/renovation/energy efficiency. He has explained to us how to repair things ourselves and saved us a lot of money.
