The techs were friendly enough until we had an issue and problem with a breaker that was installed. Then they were unhelpful and wanted to charge us to fix a problem they created in the first place. We spent 13k with them and then had to have another company come out and fix their mistake which was an additional 2k…

It was bad. Did half the job I needed the easy part was never told they couldn’t complete the job. Until they couldn’t do it and then argued with me about the miscommunication and didn’t offer a solution. Make for a terrible home improvement experience.

They have put in some electrical power panel. They upgraded my electrical service panel, isolator, and meter on the 15th of February which greatly increased the value of my home and gave me very much peace of mind. They did some time and materials work on 2 circuits of my home that gave me lighting and 2 lights and vastly improved some situation that was precarious at best.

They were here today giving me ideas and estimates and they made recommendations that I'm going to follow through.

Nice office staff with honest up front pricing. We’re glad we paid the $65 fee to get an estimate and although not the cheapest out there by far safety first. We talked through what I wanted to do (add six new overhead lights) and he came up with several options for me with prices for each. I felt comfortable asking questions and the process was very transparent. He made sure we were on the same page before the work started and made sure I was happy with it when it was done. The work was completed on time and is exactly what I wanted. Couldn’t ask for more. Very happy with the work.

Horrible, the technician found that I had the breakers set to off instead of on which was my mistake. However, instead of doing what would have been maybe the right thing to do and only charge the service fee of $100. They charged the full amount of $250 an hour plus the $100 service fee. It cost me over $350 to flip a switch. Not good customer service in my book. The tech lectured me about space heaters for about 10 min and proceeded to talk about his new home and how he felt taken advantage by a pest control company. I live in a 1949 home, don't have a lot of money and it's the Holiday season. I spoke with a rep who said it doesn't matter if it takes a minute or an hour to fix something you agreed to the price. Would you use this company???

Thank you for the feedback. I understand you feel this is expensive, we will encourage our electricians to elaborate on the value being provided to bring clarity to our pricing and how the work they have done insures a safe home electrical system for you and your family. However, we did offer to give you $100 back along with the tip you left our electrician which you turned down. You did agree verbally to our emergency rate of a $350 before we came out and signed for this amount as well before the work was started. Again, we are sorry we did not meet your expectations.Broowler G.

We had a space heater blow out an outlet and loose power to a 1/4 of our house. Mark came out and replaced the faulty outlets and explained some of the issues that he encountered with our wiring that we might need to have looked at/repaired in the future. Mark was extremely nice, professional and did his job quickly and efficiently!

Electrical box was put too close to the hose, so close can hardly turn it on. Under cabinet lights are too hot and did not communicate it well enough for me to know how they would be turned on. Have to put my hand by hot bulbs to turn it on. They would not change the lights unless I would pay for more lights. The bath was done well.

They conned me into telling me all kinds of things were wrong. They would never give me a price after I asked them for a direct price. The owner, Nick, would not give me a price. He was a bass todd to deal with and I ended up with a $9000 bill. Every time they came out here there were 3 or 4 electricians, one working and the rest standing around. I will never have them again. I would recommend no body have them. They are not affordable. They don't tell you what it's going to cost ahead of time. What they say is, yes you need this and then they change the subject. I'm talking about Nick, he's the one who did it. He double charged me for things. I went through this list. I bought light fixtures and he charged me for and I told him I bought those. It was terrible. It's one of the worst experiences I've ever had. I absolutely don't think he should be on Angie's List. Any other electrician, I've had them before, come in and tell you their hourly rate and you pay their hourly rate. I couldn't get him to do that. He would not do that. Why he brought along other electricians when they did nothing except stand and get in the way. I kept asking, "What's your hourly rate?" because when I called to get him, I asked for an hourly rate, and it was like $95 an hour. But when he came here, there was no $95 an hour. He would not answer me, and I gotta tell ya', $9000 worth doesn't add up to $95 an hour. I have never, ever, and I'm 69, never ever, had such a terrible experience in my life. I was so mad at him. We had a battle in my kitchen. He had his assistant with who was very reasonable. I could tell he had to handle Nick with kid gloves. No one should every have them. Since when does the owner come everyday and stand around and look for other things wrong. They just sold me a bill of goods. They told me my back outlet was on with too many lines and that it needed a line by itself. I asked what that would cost me and he wouldn't give me an answer. We don't know until they are done, he said. They put in on a line by itself and it still blows the fuse. So whatever they did, it was wrong. I would go without electricity first before I would use them again.

Terrible. The electrician refused to do almost anything other than what I could have done myself (he took out a broken bulb outside). He was condescending and talked incessantly. He answered his phone several times on my paid time, talking to another electrician at another site. It was a complete rip off and I would NEVER recommend this company to anyone. The guy down the street could do more. He wouldn't replace a light fixture or ceiling fan, or even give me an indication as to why my breaker tripped or peace of mind whatsoever. Lazy scam!
Description of Work
I called because I had a breaker trip and was worried. I just bought my home and am very unfamiliar with the electrical. The electrician charged over $250 to come to my house. He stood in my house and said, "what do you want me to do? I can't chase a ghost" . He said all he could do is replace my breaker but he didn't think that would help. He had NOTHING to offer and he wanted to leave as quickly as he could. I went through the house with him to see if he could switch out a light fixture for me or anything he could do. He said he couldn't do anything inside my house unless I paid $75 per breaker to replace because mine wasn't the newest. However my breaker box is up to code. So this was very suspicious.

I went to this customer's house for two things; one of those things was for an arc fault circuit breaker that was tripped and the other wires in her yard. Before we did anything she asked if I could hang a light fixture, I replied with "Yes absolutely, but if I hang a new light fixture I will have to arc fault the circuit at its first point of origin which is required by code on the national electrical code." I then explained it was easiest to arc fault in the panel versus using a device. Then I told her the cost of the breakers and she refused right away to have that done. Then she asked if I could hang a ceiling fan and I said sure I told her that it may require having to replace the box with a fan rated box and arc fault protection. Then she refused and then started complaining about how nobody told her any of this. I then told the customer the only places I'm allowed to work without arc fault installation are bathrooms, garages and exterior electrical work. When I got to the breaker it was not tripped, I gave this customer 2 options; I can open everything up that's involved with that breaker and look and there's no guarantee that I would even find anything, her other option was to replace the breaker which I told her the breaker price and how much it was and she refused. So I told this customer I could not find a problem, no problem was currently showing. I told the customer it was like chasing a ghost. Then she asked me to look at a GFCI in her bathroom I did plug my tester into it and tested the receptacle and it worked fine. There was nothing wrong with the GFCI. We went outside to look at some wires she said that were in her yard, she asked me if the wires were dangerous I told her no I said they were cable wires for her cable TV. She then showed me another wire and we found out that that wire was for an invisible fence. Then the customer asked me if I could remove a broken lightbulb in the socket on her exterior light for her back porch, which I replied 'certainly.' When I finished she then asked me to go into the garage and see if I can fix a light fixture in there for her and I said 'sure.' I went into the garage loft and I secured a mud ring on the box and added a screw to the light fixture that only had one screw in it and removed a broken bulb and put a new one in for her. Then we went outside to her front step exterior light, she said this light was not working. I then pulled the light down removed the lightbulb and found that she had screwed a new light bulb in and pack the socket full of dead bugs. I removed all the bugs cleared the socket screwed the light bulb back in and the light worked fine. I received a couple of text messages from the period that I arrived at this point but did not respond or talk to anybody. During the period I was there she kept asking if I was going to go over $225, at the end I was over my one hour limit and I could have charged her for one hour and a half because our invoice states clearly that we bill by the half hour, I did not, being as I am a nice guy I ate an extra 15 minutes of my own time and customer was only billed for $225. National electrical code 210.12 and or406.4 requires arc fault protection which means we would have to replace an existing with an arc fault breaker that could cost up to $75 for the breakerAndrew D.

Nick was able to install everything with fewer holes than other quotes gave me, a quicker timeline, and a WAY cheaper price!

I needed a 30 amp breaker, new line, and outlet installed. The outlet was above the stove for an OTR microwave and the line had to run downstairs to the breaker box.
