Extremely dissatisfied.
Description of Work: In the summer of 2015 Oak Ridge Electric was hired by us for the deck and by the company building our new addition for the electric in the new room. Last week we discovered that Oak Ridge Electric had run their new lines through our dryer vent line underneath the floor in our laundry room, completing destroying the dryer line. Not only did they not fix it, but they never told us of the problem. We discovered it when we hired someone to clean out our dryer line, requiring us to repair the problem at our own expense.

I tried contacting 4 other companies with A ratings on Angie's List. 3 never responded and 1 declined. Oak Ridge did what the other could not do or would not do. Thank-you for your prompt quality service.

The entire process was professional & competent. An appointment was made to see what services we needed & a detailed quote was emailed the same day. Options were listed for whether we or they provided the lights/fixtures, and an appointment made for the work to be done. Two very nice workers arrived on time, completed the list without problems. The office checked in to make sure we were satisfied with the work & then they emailed the invoice. All done just as quoted & very efficient. I will use them again.
Description of Work: Oak Ridge Electric completed a "honey do" list, including: replaced 3 outside spotlights, hung 5 outside fixtures that I had purchased, repaired a phone connection, replaced 2 under-cabinet fixtures, replaced a light switch, and replaced 7 smoke detectors.

They seemed like they did not know what they were doing, took forever, and messed up the job so that we requested that the same team not come to our home for repairs. We have had several problems since then with our circuit breaker and the power going off in a completely different area of our home. I would NEVER hire these people again!

I would never hire them. there were several issues involving workmanship and several issues involving billing. First, they left a light fixture unhung claiming that it didn't have all the necessary parts. so, I dropped what I was doing and went to find the missing parts so when they returned for there final check list it was there. I laid it out on the counter under the area where it was to be hung. a week later when they showed to do the check list. they left it there, I hung it myself WITH the available parts. Second, when you turn the lights on in the hall, the vanity lights in the bathroom go off, they ignored this one during there check list. third, one there 'extras' that the builder didn't cover was for a ground fault breaker for the jetted tub, the tub wasn't extra. Just the wiring to make it work. to show good faith I promised the builder to pay for that one. Fourth, there was an additional charge for another ground fault breaker with NO explanation of what it went to or why it was extra. Fifth, there were 2 charges for toggle switches (one single and one 4way) again no explanation of what they went to why it was extra. I also have no idea where they are in the house. Sixth, they charged me to "pre-wire a switch' for yard lights. this was a result of asking " how much would it cost to put in yard light?" I later asked if they had gotten me a price for yard lights and was told that it was emailed to me. I have not seen this email yet. I still do not have yard lights, and I still don't know how much yard lights cost. Seventh, a charge for 6 additional Cat5e cables for TV locations, there are only 5 Cat5e cable outlets in the whole house. All in all I received a bill for $2038 in extras. $600 was part of my light budget and deserved, $385 was for a breaker box to supply our pool and a true extra. The balance of $1053 is explained above.
Description of Work: my builder hired them to wire my house. they wired my house.

They are reliable and they are on time. We did have a problem with something that was not supposed to show on our bill, and it was immediately taken care of by the office. I was really pleased with their services. They are also very realistic about things. They weren't trying to undercut any bidding, they were honest. He was very professional, he was very responsive, and he knows his business. He is amazingly affordable.
Description of Work: I used Oak Ridge Electric Co Inc to install some post lamps in front of the house, they installed 2 lanterns on either side of the front door, and they put a new switch plate on to electrify those. They added 3 lights for our chandeliers and one of them was a plaster wall which was a big job.

I was already familiar with their reputation. They were on time and did a good job. They did a couple of extra things that we needed to do. I think I spent about $185. I don't have anything to compare their price with. I would use them again in the future if necessary.

Everything was perfect. They arrived on time and completed the work on time. They were very considerate while they were here. We had another company come out that started the project, but they didn't know what they were doing. I was thoroughly impressed with Oak Ridge. They even ate some of my granddaughter's Easy Bake Oven cookies.

Out of the whole job this sub-contractor was the best. They really did a good job and I would have them come back to do more work in a heart beat. I paid about 40,000 for the whole job to the contractor and the monies were distributed from there. I am not sure exactly how much this company received. I would recommend them though to anyone they are spectacular.
Description of Work: I had a 400 square foot addition that was added to my home. The electrical work had to be done for the whole project. There were about 6 outlets that were added as well as 2 heating and cooling ceiling fans. This addition was built for my father, because he lives with us and he requested special lighting as well. All wired were ran throughout the room for these conditions as well.
