Excellent, professional - would definitely recommend to others..

It was just fine.  The service is fine.  Just make sure that all the charges are known upfront before they come.

On a scale of 1 to 5, I would say that their service was like a 5. I thought that they were fairly expensive. They were more expensive than average and then the people were so-so. It was not anything grand. They had to come back out once but it was okay. It probably does not match the criteria that I was looking for and it was quite a bit more expensive. Because the price that they asked for, they probably should have priced it before but once you have a coupon, you are kind of stuck with it. I would never do it again actually. The cost of the service ended up being on a scale around $600 or $700 and they came out to do the work probably within a month after I purchased the deal. Their price was bad. I would never use them again in the future.

Very good! I was very pleased with this company.

This is a long report, but should be read by each consumer!
May 28th I had an appointment with an electrician from Randy's Electric located at 13780 Reimer Dr. N. Maple
Grove, MN 55311 as per a conversation I had with their office. An electrician was to arrive between 1-3 p.m.
When the appointment was made I indicated I found their number on an ad that stated Complete Ceiling
Fan Installation $99.00. I told them I had two I needed
installed ? one in place of a light fixture which I had removed, however all the wiring was still there ?
the other was to be installed in a bedroom where there was no ceiling fixture.  I understood the second would cost
slightly more.
Joe, the electrician arrived at 2:00 p.m. His first question was how many smoke detectors did I have, and
I should replace them. He gave me an estimate of $333.00 to replace them. After about 10 minutes of conversation
I declined that. He crossed this off the paperwork. Joe proceeded to give me a Estimate on the job to be done which
was $1,319.00 and explained no hidden costs and that
if it took him two days to complete this would be the most it could be. Since I had previously installed
many ceiling fans, I have been forbidden to enter the attic due to a bad knee, I knew that there was no way
it would be a big project especially for an experienced electrician. I explained this to Joe and I said it was a very
simple fix for both. Joe spent 10 minutes in the attic to install a new fan box, used wiring from previous
fixture and used the same switch. I had purchased the fans. Upon starting this fan on medium and high
speed the fan wobbled. I explained that if he were to switch the blades this sometimes eliminates this
problem and even read the directions stating that fact ? he said those instructionsare for dummies and
proceeded to tell me that is as good as it gets and if I tried switching blades, I could
be here all day.
Onto the bedroom, Joe talked to me about taking out sheet rock, I said NO ? there is a switch on the wall
for outlets and he should be able to use the wiring there. I had pictures from the inspector that showed
wiring going thru the ceiling studs and there was a wall cavity between studs on the walls to install another switch.
Once again Joe was in the attic for 10 minutes and did use the existing wiring however did have to add 30
feet of electrical wire and a second switch. Despite the fact that the two switches did not match, the fan did not wobble.
The time now is 6:15 p.m.  I asked for the bill and Joe said it is exactly what I told you$1,319. WHAT? For a total
of 4 hours of labor and I still have a wobbly fan? You can't be serious. Joe said well I will waive the $49.00 service
call. Now it is still $1,270.00 who earns $317.50 per hour and doesn't do a satisfactory job? At this
time Joe became very angry and told me that he worked his ?a** off? for me and didn't he do right by me?
I said NO and I still will have to fix the first fan. At this point I became nervous and I just wanted him out of my house,
so I gave him a credit card and said I would talk to his office. I felt violated and disrespected.
The next day I called Randy's Electric office and no one was available to speak to me. On the 30th,
I talked with Cindy and explained my situation that the job was not done correctly, I felt I had experienced
a ?Bait and Switch? and was totally scammed by their electrician who charged $1270.00 for 4 hours of work. Cindy,
the office manager said she would have to talk with Joe and get his side of it and
would get back to me on the 3rd of June. She did call back and offered me $100 to fix the crooked switch
plate. I explained I had already corrected that and for 37 cents I re-cut the hole and put on different switch plates.
After much talking and giving reviews of Randy's Electric work listed on Angie's list I gave her examples
of other work completed and prices, out of 8 examples of installing comparable ceiling fans and electrical work
 the average cost was $347.50 not $1,270.00. Cindy's response was, well you certainly did your homework,
however I can't give you more than $270.00. Randy was on vacation and she would have to talk with him.
Cindy assured me that on June 11th, I would receive a call.  I did receive a call back, Cindy had talked with
Randy and that was all they were willing to give me. I offered an opportunity to have Randy come and see the work,
I wanted to talk to him personally, however that wasn't possible.
June 12th on my answering machine I received a message from Cindy stating that after much prayer and
thought, she felt good about sending me a check in the amount of $500.00. I proceeded to call her back and ask
if that was in addition to the $270.00 they offered the day before. Oh no, was her response, we feel good about the check
for $500.00. I asked who felt good? Me ? NO, again I asked to speak to Randy and have him come out to my
house. This was refused. I received a check for $500.00 stating reimbursement.  Why that amount?
To install two ceiling fans, I was charged $770.00 this means this service cost $192.50 per hour. In addition I
still have a wobbly fan!  SATISFACTION GUARANTEED ? I think NOT.
I have written this experience off, however I would like to warn seniors and other potential clients
BUYER BEWARE of Bait and Switch in addition to over-charging for service!

The work he did was fine and he did good work. I was disappointed in the modification in the price though. He didn’t do a couple of things, because he couldn’t get to them, but he did charge me for the things he was able to do.

Went extremely well.  Provider's agent was very respectful, friendly, gave valuable advice, and provided the service that I requested in a competent and professional manner.

The electrician was reluctant to write up a quote for the service but upon my insistence, finally did. the install for the exhaust fan and switches (all provided by me) was quoted as $900, then had the $200 deducted for the Angie's list coupon, ending with a balance of $700. After researching, found the cost for install, wiring in attic, and switches range between the $300-350 range. Not anywhere close to the $900 quoted by the electrician at the job site. I spoke to Cindy at Randy's electric who sounded surprised regarding the electrician's reluctancy to create a quote and said she would get back to me after talking to him, by week's end, two weeks ago.

We had an electrical problem and contacted Randy's last week but they were too busy. So--we called someone called Affordable Electric. However, if they can't fix the problem it isn't affordable. Affordable came out 6/18 at 6:15 pm and by 7:30 pm they had made our situation worse and we had more circuits out. I called Randy's back on morning on 6/19 and begged for help. The dispatcher took pity on us and Dave came promptly by 1 pm as stated. He is supremely confident in his extensive skills, is a 16 year journeyman and obviously knows his stuff. I don't think our problems were very challenging for him but he jumped on them and in under an hour had fixed everything the other company wanted to send out two men at $110 an hour to troubleshoot!!!!
If you have electrical issues, this is the company to call. Their rates are as reasonable as other companies and at least Dave is a skilled tradesman who will solve your problems. Thanks Randys and Dave!

Excellent!  What attracted me to Randy's Electric was the reviews on Angie's list and their hours.  They had evening and weekend hours and during the day is not convenient for us.  The first day, Brent and Gabriel came out.  The process is simple:  show them all that you want.  They quote you and then go about the job.  You can have all your projects done, or just one.  The smaller projects I thought were very reasonable in price (I had no idea how much the lighting in the kitchen would take).  Scheduling a 2nd day was just a matter of Brent finding a day when it worked for both him and us (then calling the main office to make sure it worked).  Brent and Gabriel were extremely friendly and put us at ease quickly (I normally hate strangers in my house).  All in all, I give Randy's Electric an "A" and would highly recommend them.

Well,  after a couple of starts and stops after our first encounter..meaning he thought we could save money if we dug the trench for the line.  Fine.  My dear husband got that done that night.  I guess the man thought because we have white hair.. my assumption, that it would take days, if not weeks, to get that done.
We had to call the office to see when the man would be coming back.  The job was well done....but not without a dust up between my husband and the technician.  I think the issue was not having the cost of the job explained well.
We would use them again, but cost and duration of job would need to be clearly explained between both parties.

I purchased the Angie's List coupon on the Monday before Thanksgiving. Since I was on vacation that week and hosting Thanksgiving dinner for 12 family members, I called that day to see if they could move the chandelier before Thanksgiving. They were booked, but I was put on a waiting list in case there was a cancellation. Sure enough, I received a call that they could come out on the day before Thanksgiving to do the job. Two electricians arrived on time and did a wonderful job getting the chandelier to it's new location. Thanks to Randy's Electric, our Thanksgiving dinner was much brighter!

I bought an Angie's List deal for Randy's Electric and used it against an on-going electrical problem I had in a rental building.  The commercial clothes dryer would shut off.  After having a handyman, commercial dryer repair and another electrician were unable to diagnose the problem, I called Randy's Electric.  Fortunately, their electrician was able to determine the issue.  The circuit had to be replaced to the dryer.  It was far beyond the value of the deal I had purchased, but I was very happy to get the issue resolved once and for all!  The electrician arrived on time, was very professional and even gave me some appliance tips. I would definately use Randy's electric again.  I did not receive estimates for the job, so I am giving them a B on price - only because I don't know how they would compare with others.

Provider showed up on time, did good work, and was very friendly during the whole process. Everything was cleaned up and done to our satisfaction.

It went well, they arrived bright and early at 8am and swapped out the fixture within 20 minutes (super fast!)

we also had him quote on running a new line from our circuit breaker to the basement and they were nearly 4x the price of other quotes that we recieved.  What I will say is that they did the work quickly and were very prompt and friendly.   A little strange that at the end he went through the warranty and then told me that Randy is a pastor and woudl like to "show us the light" and left some religious materials.

It went great!  They were very professional and efficient in their work.
