LARRY'S ELECTRIC

They installed the generator exactly as promised on time and at a very reasonable price.

The Larry's Electric team did an excellent job - everything functions, was installed quickly and correctly.

called and they responded within a few days. gave us an estimate and came out the next day to do the work. the work was done in a timely manner. the job looked very professional and the area was left clean

First let me start with the fact that the work required to do the job ended up over the estimate, and they never haggled or complained about it. They just asked for what was estimated. They used quality materials and everything looked and worked great after the job was done. I have had no electrical problems in the house since they did the work. The fact they handled the permits, scheduling with the electric company and the awful government electrical inspector for our area was a huge relief.
The Estimate and Work We have a lot of electrical equipment. The subpanel where most of our important circuits were was hissing and vibrating and making a buzzing sound. Circuits were blowing all the time. After Wayne, the owner, patiently listened to my ideas for what I wanted to have done to fix the problem, he offered a solution that actually would fix my problem lol. Wayne was energetic, VERY knowledgeable and pleasant to talk too. His employee's have impeccable manners and work ethic.
The job required us to be ready to be without power for half the day. Everything went fine. If they had a problem they just worked through it . Our house had a lot of honeydos in the electrical wiring, so they kept running into problems getting it done correctly.

Nitpicks and Complaints The large, thick cable between the meter and the main panel was changed. It came out the bottom of the meter before, and the new work had it coming out of the side. The old cable was left in place, sticking out of the aluminum siding by around 2-3 inches. This should have had white outdoor caulk around it. It did not, I had to buy some and caulk it up myself to prevent pests from entering the garage. UPDATE 24JUL12 : Larry's Electric was doing more work on our home as a subcontractor to an HVAC install that involved an exterior power line being run from the main panel to the compressor when they saw this part of their old work. They removed the old power line that was left in place and weather proofed it with a sanded exterior finish. They got that done before I could mention it to them before they left.
Miscellaneous I had a previous job done by Larry's Electric to fish and install a circuit for a new dishwasher. While there I asked their opinion about a wiring fault error indicator from a line conditioner/battery backup in the basement outlets. I was asking for another estimate. They climbed up on the desks and fixed the two outlets for free on the way out.
When our larger electrical problem started and I called, someone came out and worked on the panel wiring, tightening the connections inside. I was planning on paying for the visit but the guy was in and out in 10 minutes and did not accept payment for the work. I think these two actions speak about the morals and quality of Larry's Electric in a positive way.
The only ugly problem from start to finish was the government electrical inspector. He is the last step of the work, it appears. He was hours late, parked sidways in the driveway with his radio going, and rang our doorbell while having a conversation on his cell. I open the door and here is someone with the manners of a rapper talking on his phone with his back to me. I closed the door while he was acting out. The 'inspection' seemed to involve one sticker on the meter and him pointing out other stuff around the main panel which he was threatening to fail on the inspection. I think it was because I closed the door while he was on his phone. If you get work done, expect something like this from the county representitive.

Followed our instructions for placement of wall switches, wall plugs etc.
