Description of Work: Replaced electrical panel and service to the house. Also added a sub panel for me off of an unused 30 AMP circuit for possible future expansion. |All work was done to code (inspection went flawlessly). Shel Rader was kind and willing to discuss what was happening. He also noted that I should contact DTE regarding some other issues I was having. I did and DTE found an issue on the pole and repaired it. Complete and quality work with an eye for detail and completeness.

Rader Electric sent two electricians out on schedule and the work was done efficiently and they talked everything they did with me as they went through and corrected my outlets. I provided the hardware and the team did all the labor. Everything was tested thoroughly before they left. I did not get a price estimate before the job but the bill was within the range of what I expected and they did apply the Angies list discount. So my only real critique was that they should make a practice of providing an 80% range estimate in advance when possible. I would hire them again.

They were able to get everything going well and determined that an outdoor cover had actually leaked and caused corrosion leading to a switch going bad. They replaced the switch and the system has worked well since. The diagnosis and checking was time consuming but actually was less expensive than the alternative (new pump motor) which would not have actually solved the problem
Description of Work: I had them come to troubleshoot some electrical problems with some outdoor receptacles.

Shel was very responsive, on site within a couple of hours, determined the issue, recommended options, providing budgetary pricing with a follow up of electronic pricing, electrican on site the next morning @ 9am sharp and was done by 12 noon with the site cleaned up. If anyone needs a reliable and trustworthy electrical call Shel @ Rader...........

Mr. Shel Rader and his workman showed up right on time and spent approximately 20-25 minutes going over my questions and providing advice before starting work. Based on what I wanted done, Mr. Rader had to procure additional parts and did this while his workman stayed on site and started work. The job took approximately 4.5 hours and the work was done with minimal noise and mess. The workman offered some suggestions while completing the job that were nice additions (at no extra cost). The workman (Chris) thoroughly cleaned up when the job was complete and spent another 25 minutes at the end of the job going over the new system's operation. They did a very nice job and I would recommend them.
Description of Work: Installed and wired a transfer switch (electrical box) for use with a portable generator.

Response from Rader Electric Co Inc
MANY TIMES CONTRACTOR'S PRICING MAY VARY AS MUCH AS 50%. ITEMS LIKE ALL LICENSED EMPLOYEE'S AS OPPOSED TO 1 LICENSED EMPLOYEE AND 4 HELPERS CAN LOWER A JOB COST BUT ALMOST ALWAYS LOWERS QUALITY. I CANNOT SAY WHAT THE DIFFERENCE WAS ON THIS PROJECT, AS OF THIS DATE I CANNOT TELL YOU IF THE WORK WAS COMPLETED, HOWEVER I STAND BY MY QUOTE AND I STAND BY MY QUALITY. PLEASE READ OTHER COMMENTS ABOUT RADER ELECTRIC BEFORE YOU MAKE A JUDGEMENT. THANKS, SHEL RADER PRESIDENT, RADER ELECTRIC CO. INC.

He was very organized and professional. His was one of the higher estimates but I am glad I chose him. The inspector even said it was a nice job. The work was done and inspected before one of the other companies got their quote to me.

The owner came out to do the estimate personally. I met him at the house and he explained what needed to be done, the estimated cost and the time it would take to do the job. I had to work during the time his crew were going to be at the house, so did not see how they conducted themselves. However, I did meet the crew and they were all clean cut and professional in attitude and appearance. When I arrived home from work, the new service was in, the place was clean, and the home secured. I would highly consider Rader Electric again. I would highly recommend their services to others.
Description of Work: I purchased a home which needed upgraded electrical service before the Utility Co. would reinstate power to the home. I had several estimates, all found on Angie's List, and Rader Electric was the best bid.

Having tried to obtain 4 other electricians without any results, Rader Electric Company was a breath of fresh air! I called Rader on a Friday (after work hours) and Mr. Rader promptly returned my phone call the next morning. He was at our home within a few hours! He promised to send a quote in the mail by the end of the week and we received it within a few days. When we decided to go with this company, we were scheduled to have the work done within a week. Mr. Rader and his crew arrived on time, and immediately went to work. The men worked diligently, were very polite and cleaned up well after they were finished. The work we required was done promptly and very professionally. We will definitely use Rader Electric Co again and recommend them to anyone for prompt and excellent electrical work.
Description of Work: Rader provided and installed a recessed light for our porch, and a ventilation fan in our bathroom. Fixed and replaced a basement light with pull chain and installed ceiling light fixtures for two bedrooms.
