Certified Electrical Technologies

This was a very simple job, but we had used CET before through our warranty service, and they were fantastic both times. The technician replaced an exterior light in no time. We haven't had any problems with it.

I was looking for someone to evaluate my electrical needs and give me an estimate of how much it would cost to do the work that was required. The tech warned me when he first arrived that they would probably not do the work, and then I had to call them again to get the report. As the tech advised, the report did not include any cost estimates. I found the advertisement I had printed, and they did not offer to perform any subsequent electrical service, according to what I paid for. So I was disappointed, and it just seemed like a waste of money, as the electrical contractor I use will have to do the same evaluation. I don't know what the use is of having the evaluation done without an estimate of the cost. Ultimately, it is my fault; if I had realized that they could turn down the job, or not attempt to assist me, I would not have purchased the deal.

The technician showed up and was extremely courteous and professional. He immediately got to work on the two projects I needed him to complete. He cleaned up after himself and made sure everything was working. He saved small talk about football until he was "off the clock" which is greatly appreciated - it shows the technician was not a robot and genuinely enjoyed meeting people and helping them but also respected that customers were paying by time, not services completed.

Outstanding! They had an apt for me within 24 hours of contact. The technician showed up on time. He figured out the problem immediately and had it fixed and checked out within 15 minutes. He was informative and courteous as well as knowledgeable.

The experience was smooth. Phil worked with my condo's super to find the right breaker and condenser. Phil was professional and works well with those around him

The electrician how did the work was terrific! He diagnosed the problems accurately and fixed them promptly. I was immediately positively impressed when he arrived as the first thing he did was to put bootie over his shoes so as not to get dirt on our carpets. After he replaced faulty switches and dimmers, I mentioned that it would be helpful to have him also replace burned out flood lights on the outside of our house. He readily agreed and was kind enough to wait while I went to the store to buy new flood lights which he then installed. I was pleasantly surprised by the very reasonable amount I was charged for the service.

Everything went perfectly. The initial communication, scheduling, and installation was fast and very easy and everything was perfect.

the technician arrived on time. everything went well

I purchased a deal off of Angie's list to have the ceiling fan in my master bedroom installed (the wiring and box were already there). I requested a morning appointment and although I was told it may not be guaranteed, the electrician called me first thing in the morning to notify me he was on his way. Chuck arrived, immediately put on shoe covers before he entered the house and after showing him the fan and room, he proceeded with the install. When he finished he made sure I knew how the new remote functioned and where the spare parts were in case I needed them. He also took the time to make sure I knew which switches controlled my lights (the one I thought should be connected to the fan wasn't - so he changed that for me). When he was finished, all the trash and spare parts were boxed up and there was no evidence that work was just done (I make that point because I've had work done before and know not everyone cleans up after themselves!) Having just moved into the area recently, I wasn't sure who to call when I needed electric work done and without referrals it can be difficult to know who to trust. But Chuck was courteous, friendly, respectful and knowledgeable and he performed the exceptionally well. I won't hesitate to call him or CET again for future electrical needs.

I just received outstanding service from Certified Electric. The technician was prepared, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. He finished the work within an hour, which was far more quickly than I expected. He explained everything he was doing, and did an amazing job in reattaching my electric meter to the house. The ground had settled and it pulled away. I had asked a few different Companies (plus the Power Company) if they could help, and did not get positive feedback. Certified came in, and he had the job done in 30 minutes. It looks great, and solved a difficult problem. I couldn't be more pleased with the service I received, and would recommend them highly.

We asked for a quote. Twice. We were given some hems and haws and approximates. The first time, we just figured maybe we weren't clear. We called the second time to ask for an actual price quote that included the whole scope of our request. We got even clearer with what we wanted done. Still more hems and haws and maybes. Then they told us they couldn't do any lights in staircases as they do not have any equipment for stairs (i.e., no proper ladders that you can use on stairs). What!? Never mind.

I needed a breaker labeled in my breaker box. I had no clue how to go about this, so I asked Certified Electrical for Help. They assured me that this was a simple fix and asked some information about the breaker switch. They told me that type of switch would control lights and outlets. Then they said I could turn on my lights, switch off the breaker and see what lights and outlets were off. They also offered to come out to do the service if I didn't want to do it myself. They were very helpful and responsive for what I needed.

CET did a great job replacing the light fixture in our master bedroom with a ceiling fan. David actually came out twice -- for the initial visit, the area above the ceiling fan in the attic was not accessible, which posed the risk of a "messier" installation process. Since we had easy attic access, we decided he should come back after we cut away some floorboards to let him work from above, minimizing the need to cut away ceiling material and reducing the risk of the (old) existing wiring crumbling. The finished job looks totally seamless and the fan works perfectly. David was patient and pleasant, good with our toddler, and did not charge for the initial visit. The ultimate price was less than I was quoted by other contractors. Can't beat a job well done for the lowest price available. Worth the wait!

went very well. everything is fixed and I am happy again.

I informed the technician that I had used a power washer and blown a break and some of the sockets outside and the bathrooms were not working, which is what I wanted resolved today. I was told by the technician that he can do the inspection since they don't take long, but couldn't do any work due to two other calls today. I initially wanted Saturday hours since Angie's List said they provided Saturday hours, I provided 3 dates and was only given a Friday and had to give up a day off from work. In the end I still didn't get the outlets fixed, along with some other small work, like replacing some other outlets and a fixture. He didn't test all the outlets, only a majority of them by plugging a socket tester in, which I could have done myself for cheaper. This deal was misrepresented as it didn't give the homeowner a chance to get the work completed. He did check the master panel and informed me that there was an extra socket. I had my DVR broken by your representative and had to spend additional time of a hour plus gas to go to Verizon and get a new one, since your representative did not turn it off before pulling the power cord. I sent an email requesting Saturday hours and was told it wasn't available at all. Likewise you didn't contact me to ask if I needed additional service, which I would have clearly said yes. However, your technician said he could do no work the day he arrived. I have already hired another electrician to do the work as your technician didn't even test half the outlets in the house unless I pointed them out. He was killing time before his next appointment and complained about customers to me during that time. Not professional.

I had scheduled an appointment via email for the technician to perform some electrical work. When I had not received a comfirmation call within 48 hours, I checked my email but did not see anything from them in the previous 48 hours. The day they were supposed to come, I checked my emails again and discovered an older email that said they required a credit card as a deposit for the appointment. When I saw that, I immediately called the company. However, when I did not receive a call back in a timely fashion (it took them 1.5 hrs), I contacted another electrician who I found on Angie's List. By the time the original electrician called me back, the work had already been completed at a much better price than I had been quoted by this company. While waiting for the second electrician, I called CET to let them know that I would not need their services, not being sure if they were even coming or not since I had yet to hear from Gary, the salesperson I had been working with. When Gary called me, he proceeded to yell at me that I was inconsiderate for giving them less than 24 hours notice and did not seem to understand that I only sought another company because of the email I received and that he hadn't called me back to confirm they were coming. I had set aside the time to meet them and I would not have another chance for several weeks if the work were not completed today.

This was a great experience and I felt like I got true value for my money spent. With 10-year detectors, I will not have to worry about miserable chirping detectors in the middle of the night, or having to climb a ladder and reach over my head to change 9 volt batteries every 6 months!

Great experience. I am planning to have them back to do additional electrical work.

My appointment time was between 8-10 AM. (II might have the date wrong). Dale from Certified Electric, called about 8:20 and said he'll be be over at 8:40. Right on time, we had a cup of coffee together and discussed what needed to be done. We went down stairs completed the GFI plug replacement -in fact he moved the plug to a better location. I bothered him during the whole process (talking) and telling war stories. He is very affable young man with a lot of experience. When he was done he looked at the GFI plug upstairs and decided to replace that one also. Everything went great. I would definitely use Certified Electric for any future problems. Thanks Certified...Thanks Angie's List

The service was excellent. They were able to schedule a service call within a couple of days of my phone call. The technician arrived on time and quickly and efficiently replaced an existing ceiling light with a new ceiling fan/light combo, replaced a faulty circuit breaker, fixed a porch light that wasn't working, and suggested a good approach for providing some needed exterior lighting. Then he cleaned up the packing materials and old parts and left things spotless. And, all this, in two hours. Everything has continued to work well since then.

Great--really couldn't have asked for a better experience. Quick reply with competitive estimate based on pictures; schedule easily with online form and showed up on time (in the window). The electrician quickly got to work; talked to me about the problem; and fixed it within the time frame. Everything's fixed now, and the job looks like it was well done. Would highly recommend.

It was terrible. I had a specific question about my fixture. The guy said there was no reason to look at it. He looked at the other stuff and said he can't evaluate anything that isn't in a three-pronged outlet. My whole house is old so it doesn't have three-pronged outlet so basically he wouldn't test anything. In the kitchen he said I need to have GFCI on all my things. At the end, he finally looked at the light fixture and said it looks old and I probably have to replace it. That was it. I was incredibly disappointed! He didn't do anything. They called to find out what I thought and I told them. Basically the guy acted as though I was trying to blackmail him. It was very strange. This was the owner and he was awful. I was not happy all the way around.

They did a really good job. They sorted out how to do it. They even checked our breaker box downstairs because of something I had going on in the basement. They said they could do it whenever I’m ready and just give them a call. They’ll just pop in, do whatever it was and we will be good. The pricing was good. We had some other problems associated with the piece of equipment that we purchased. That wasn’t their fault. He tried to fix it but he just couldn’t fix it. They were very responsive. We had them out again. He was on time. We would use them again in the future and we have used them.

hard to schedule. they really did notheing. not worth the money. it would not be worth it a half the price.

Job was relatively simple to replace outlets. We have an older home so he told us we needed a GFCI on each outlet since they didn't have a ground. We had at least one outlet in each room, however, that did have a ground so we were confused, but deferred to their expertise (they theorized the other circuits were done to take air units since we don't have central air). Work was done in 1.5 hrs, and the GFCI circuits cost $20 each for material costs. All in all, work was done well. They don't do patching so some of the outlets have some exposure around the edges since the replacement didn't match up to the hole size. I'd use them again, but likely not before I do another search to see if simple service calls like this can be done for lower cost. If we would have known an electrician ("I've got a guy"), work like this would have likely been way cheaper ($13 per GFCI on Amazon and $100-$150 directly to your electrician and we could have gotten away for a bit less). Responsive on the phone, easy to work with, and very professional. They are more service call based, so any more substantial work with re-wiring or remodels, you'll have to look elsewhere.
