Tim has always answered my calls right away and been able to get in super quickly. He replaced the 60 amp breaker in our early 1900s house with a 200 amp breaker and addressed a lot of code and safety issues. He did everything in one day and cleaned up after himself. He's been quick to respond on subsequent jobs and has even helped me over the phone when I've done things myself. Highly recommend!

Tim did an awesome job! Everything connected neat and tidily, sweeping up after himself and even putting an extra GFCI on the panel for free! Hired Tim to replace my service panel, upgrading it from 100 amps to 200 amps and get rid of my udersized, underpowered, improperly wired and unpermitted panel that came with the house. I also needed some specialized power (30amp NEMA twistlock) to go to my basement room which he was able to do for a reasonable price and whithin a reasonable timeframe. Everything looks great and no more blowing fuses!!! Nice to see someone who takes real pride in their work and business, it shows from the cool vans and stickers to the professional, clean and neat work he does. Would hire again! PICS before + after

Tim came right over and tested all the breakers. Within 15 minutes of arriving we discovered Xcel energy workers in our backyard that our neighbor had called. Tim was very nice about the mix up in what we thought the problem was and we would love to hire him in the future for our electrical needs.
Description of Work
We thought there was issues with our breakers because we were having spotty electric in our house.

So pleased with the work!! Timely arrival - courteous - friendly - knowledgeable! The job was described over the phone and I was given an estimate of how much time the job might take and the approximate cost. Job completed in record time and cost much less than I expected! I had previously received an estimate from a larger company for this job and it was 4 times what I just paid Tim! Thank you - thank you - THANK YOU!

Jack came out and did a great job for us. Installed two floodlights in our backyard yard. Fixed and installed a new entryway light. Also had him install a doorbell outside even though that wasn't something I was expecting him to do. So needless to say he went above and beyond. Great working with them!

Tim was very accessible through Angie's List and directly by cell phone. His communication about the work and fees was clear and he was flexible and helpful in making suggestions when my original plan did not turn out to be feasible. Tim and his assistant did a very good job, were friendly, and did a great job cleaning up after the work. When they were done I felt like I've finally found an electrician I can rely on in the future.
Description of Work
I needed some rewiring done in a bathroom, a ventilation fan and vanity light installed, and a couple of switches changed.

See above. We loved Tim's responsiveness and excellent service. A gem.
Description of Work
We had a broken electrical switch and a problem that grew when we tried to replace it. Suddenly not only did the switch not work, but the upstairs bedroom electrical wasn't working either! Sheesh. It's Saturday afternoon and we figured there was no way anyone would come until the work week. We called Tim Kunkel LLC and he answered the phone (no one else on the list did) and he fixed us right up in about 20 minutes. He was responsive, on time, knew so much, explained it to us, and we are thrilled and impressed. What a nice guy too.

Responded within a reasonable time and had all materials on hand to do the work so it was very fast and painless. Did a walk thru of house to discuss existing wiring and future work. It was a small job and I don't have much to compare the price to but he verbally estimated some future jobs and it sounded reasonable.

I can't say enough good things about Tim. Tim came out the same day I called him for a bid (a huge life saver--I'm selling the home, the electrical was called in an addendum and I needed to know what costs I was looking at). Tim's bid was on point with another I received (that guy would only receive text photos and ballpark). We didn't fix a date for the work--because I didn't care when it was done--just a deadline which was weeks out. Tim was over within three business days to complete the work. He answered all of my questions thoroughly and even took the time to look up when a code change happened. Tim is knowledgeable, responsive, friendly, and skilled. I'm honestly thrilled he's a younger guy, so that we can call on him as needed in the future!
Description of Work
Replaced the feed from house to garage and raised electric line height to code.

Working with Tim was a great experience. We hired Tim to do some electrical work as part of our home sale. Tim was easy to connect with, showed up when he said he would, and did excellent work. He even found cost saving ways to do the work we needed and the final bill was less than expected. It seems hard to find a tradesperson who communicates well and does good work at a fair price. Tim, however, hits all the marks. If we ever have electrical needs in our new home, Tim will definitely be my first call. And he should be yours, as well.

Tim and his apprentice first came a few weeks ago to look at a light fixture we thought was a problem (it was actually ok) and fixed a couple minor issues (ceiling fan stuff) and we scheduled an appointment for them to come back to our 1930s house to replace old outlets, add additional outlets, and replace our outdoor light. We're really pleased with their work today - they are professional, friendly, and take things in stride (like a couple curious felines and one curious 3 year-old). They made sure our cats were all accounted for before replacing the knee wall panels and left the work areas nice and clean. So pleased to have found Tim and Jack to deal with our questionable upstairs outlet situation and add some outlets to the main floor. We'll definitely recommend Tim to neighbors looking for an electrician!
Description of Work
Added 3 circuits & 10 new outlets, installed new outdoor light, replaced 3 box/wiring/outlets, replaced kitchen outlet & circuit breaker, replaced exterior motion light

I was referred to Tim by a friend. He came to my house in the evening, when it was convenient for me, to give me an estimate. He looked at my entire house and asked great questions about what I needed to have done. He freely admitted that he wasn't the cheapest electrician around, but he said that he uses quality parts - copper connectors, things like that - and doesn't cut corners. Once I decided to have the work done, he was available very quickly. In our initial discussion he said he preferred to schedule about 2 weeks out, but he was available the next day. He really seemed to know his stuff. So far I haven't had any problems. I would use him again in a heartbeat.

Replaced my old fuse box with a new circuit breaker service panel
