Saye Electric has been a go-to name in our home for electrical needs for years. They are prompt, professional, very detail oriented, and do beautiful work at a reasonable price. Highly recommended!

Saye Specialty Electric was able to accommodate my need for an immediate appointment. My house was under contract for sale and the electrical inspection, review and written evaluation of the wiring, including some aluminum wiring, and minor repairs were requested by the buyers. All of this was done to the satisfaction of the buyers and the sale was finalized. Thank you, Saye Specialty Electric! I will absolutely use them again if needed and have recommended them to friends and my new neighbors.

Saye was timely, reasonably priced, and professional. We had collected quotes from five electricians for the job. Saye was chosen based on price, availability, and knowledgable personnel. Would use them again in a heartbeat!

Contacted them to schedule a visit to deal with a number of relatively small projects. Their visit was promptly scheduled. Two electricians were sent out to deal with a few of the tasks, but one electrician was here nearly the entire day. They fixed some electrical sockets, replaced three large hanging lights and installed a range hood.
Work was completed in a day. Billing was done promptly and the cost was as expected. Both electricians were very professional and made us feel completely at ease.

This is the best work I’ve ever had. They are efficient, friendly, cleaned up well, and arrived on time.

As always, it went great! This is the only electrical service that I have used since I have been in the Charlotte area and I've been here for 7+ years. I found Saye Specialty Electric on Angies List and have always been pleased with their work. I called Bob on Wednesday, 5/29 asking about how to convert existing or install new dusk to dawn lighting outside of my home. He came out that afternoon , looked at my situation and made recommendations. We scheduled an appointment for Friday morning, 5/31. Jeff came out and did a great job installing the photo sensor on the front pendant light and then proceeded to replace the flood lights in the back. He worked through several issues because of how the existing lighting had been originally installed but was extremely patient, listened to my concerns and completed the work to my satisfaction. He was professional and courteous, as always. I wouldn't use anyone else for my electrical needs!

We recently purchased a house built in 1948 and when we needed some electrical work done Saye Specialty was recommended to us by a friend. We did this through a 203K loan which involved a lot of paperwork and communication. Bob was thorough and quick in returning all of the information requested by the 203K loan company! We have since used Bob for some minor electrical work and plan to use him for all of our electrical needs in the future!

The owner Bob called and said the job would done on the 10th. He called in AM on the 10th to say his crew would contact me on the way to my house. At 1:00 they called and arrived at 1:30 AS PROMISED! The work was done by a 3 man crew in about 3 hours, until it was dark and rainy. They quickly fixed all the grass that they had dug up so it wouldnt flood and said they would be back the next day. By 8:00am they were already working wiring the new flood lights to the electrical switches. They were finished by 9:30am.

This group was amazing!! They came out the day I called to help me with a bulb that had broken off in the fixture of our ceiling fan. He was on his way to another job, and didn't even charge me for the service (even though I asked to pay him, of course). Don't come across people like that anymore! I would highly recommend.

Daryl and his partner with Saye Specialty arrived about 9: 00 a.m. on Friday, June 29 and began work on the relocation of the cable and power lines. He had to cut several holes in the ceiling and walls to relocate the lines for the installation of the flat screen TV. He and his partner completed this job and removed and replaced the exhaust fan in the master bath and switched out and installed the GFI outlets that day. The new appliances were delivered on Saturday. About 8:30 a.m. on Monday, July 2, Daryl and his partner arrived to install the new appliances. The most difficult appliance to install was the microwave because it was to be located in a corner. I had someone else adjust the bracing so that Daryl and his partner could complete the job on Tuesday, July 3. During the entire job, Daryl was very professional and communicated the issues that needed to be resolved for him to complete the job. The final statement amount was for the amount of the estimate. I highly recommend Daryl and Saye Specialty.

The attic ventilator fan replacement was more complicated than the electrician thought and he had to come back with an assistant for a second day. This made the job more expensive than I expected.
Did a couple of small additional jobs promptly and quickly.

Response from Saye Specialty Electric Inc
"I realize the total cost of job was perhaps higher than customer wanted. That is very consumerism-like The extra man was required to maneuver a large ladder into customer's high vaulted roof attic. The same flat hourly labor rate was charged to include 2nd man and we didn't charge any extra for return trip. On a side note - recently James returned to courtesy check a vibration that was not-repairable with current fan assemblies and advised customer the correct course to have proper thru-roof fan assembly installed."

He said he did some basic maintenance work, which did help, but the electric company did have to come in and correct the surge system to my home to completely correct the situation. They forgot to include my Angie's List membership discount, but they did say they would honor it on the next service.
Response from Saye Specialty Electric Inc
"Without seeming overly defensive for all Bs on this report I as the owner of Saye Electric am compelled to respond based upon my / our best recollection: The customer required prompt service for an 'electrical inspection', which Jeff in truck #6 provided same-day within 2 hours. (a B for punctuality?) Jeff 1st checked the system voltage and determined pretty quick the primary issue was a distribution delivery under-voltage issue from power company's transformer grid that is not within our ability to remedy. Jeff advised customer of this situation and provided 1-800# for customer to contact the power co. as the account holder. (Preface note: whenever a customer calls the office and discusses the irregularities they're having and it seems like a power co. issue - we are very forthright to advise them to a. check if neighbors on same transformer grid are having similar issues and/or b. contact the power co. to check if any partial outages or rolling brown-outs in their area. In this particular customer's case - an 'electrical inspection' was requested without any sense of why.) While on-site Jeff did perform some spot - visual inspections of existing wiring and tightened all loose connections in the customer's breaker panel and meter-box. Jeff rendered appropriate billing and according to our office copy of field invoice and amount collected he wrote the invoice amount inclusive of the A/L $10. discount instead of a line-item deduct. The conversation about 'next time' discount doesn't seem like something any of our good tech's would say. They have my authority to make any billing / collection adjustments in the customer's favor whenever any issues are made aware. Jeff even went with customer to their bank ATM "off-the-clock" to obtain payment for our services rendered. So in theory for an hour's charge with discount this customer's job took Jeff out of billable play for upwards of two (2) hours which we absorb as overhead. I am also noticing the delay between our service (actual 6/28/12) and report date in November though not discounting the fact that the customer feels we didn't do as good as he/she would have liked. I am just not sure what else Jeff could have done any better to please this customer. We all try very hard to make sure every customer is taken care of and left satisfied. I maintain every confidence in every service tech. we have for politeness, professionalism, installation and repair knowledge to provide genuine solid customer service; every-time."

Overall James and Bob from Saye Specialty Electric Inc. provided me with great customer service and a peace of mind. When you buy a new home and the moving can be stressful as it is and little electrical things come up it can seem very overwhelming. But having great professional electricians makes it alot better. Thanks Bob and James so much.

The panel replacement was about $1,500. The experience was wonderful. I would recommend them. I would use them again.

On Wednesday, February 8, I called Saye's Electric about installing a GFI outlet in the toilet area of our master bedroom. I made an appointment for 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, February 9. The next morning an employee of Saye's Electric arrived at 8:45 a.m. I explained why I needed the new outlet and he suggested a location behind the toilet. A few minutes later another employee of Saye's arrived and began work. One employee in the crawl space and the other in the bathroom. They cut a hole for the outlet in the bathroom and completed the job in about an hour. They cleaned the area where they install the outlet. They were prompt, efficient and professional.

They provided service over the phone to see if I could resolve the issue. (That was very helpful.) I could not so we arranged service call. It was a good learning experience for me and I was very appreciative.

Darryl arrived on time, was courteous and professional. Looked at the problem list and gave us an estimate of the time it would require, with the caveat that moving the chandelier might take longer. The under cabinet-light I had purchased was wrong, so he supplied the correct one. The work took a little longer than he had anticipated, but he let my wife know that was the case and informed my wife. He was apologetic that it took longer. Price was more than I'd thought it would be but was fair and appropriate for the time spent. Quality of work was excellent. I would use them again and recommend them!

I called Bob Saye on Thursday, he came to my house the NEXT day and had an electrician at my house Monday morning! Daryl did a great job of installing everything and making sure that everything worked properly. He took the time to explain some weird wiring in my house, built mid-1970's. I would definitely call these guys again, really appreciated the great service and responsiveness.

Excellent experience. We talked on the phone and Bob Saye, Owner, came out the very next day. Reviewed what I wanted, worked up a diagram and sent me a quote via email that night. He was very responsive, professional and personable every step of the way. After accepting the proposal, the crew was out two days later. Bob was onsite first thing to make sure they understood what was to be done and kept in constant contact. The crew was hard working, professional and kept me informed throughout the project. They did a great clean up job before leaving. The lighting is exactly what we wanted and looks great. I will definitely call Saye Specialty Electric for any future electrical needs.

Daryl was very thorough and professional. He had to dig around our bushes and replace the wire. He even cleaned up the dirt he moved onto the sidewalk, which wasn't necessary. He was only here to fix the outdoor lights, so it was nice he made time to fix the indoor outlet as well. We had personally installed the fan, but we couldn't get the outlet to turn the fan on. Daryl made time to fix the outlet wiring and cleaned up afterwards.
