They were prompt, professional and courteous. They could not install the fan because it did not fit the existing opening and would have required additional dry wall work which was an expense we did not want to undertake. They completed a total electrical inspection of the house under a separate Angie's List purchase. This was well done and our overall experience was very satisfactory.

I was very impressed with the product and Nichols Electric. Coincidently prior to them arriving to install the fan, a major circiut blew in my house and the breaker would not reset. After installing the fan Scott was willing to stay and trouble shoot the problem, he was able to make the necessary repairs and for the amount of time amd materials I felt the cost was very reasonable.

Steve is always a pleasure to work with. He's timely, professional, and we've never had any issues with his work. We've had quite a wide range of electric work performed by Steve over the past year including installing and moving switches and outlets, grounding outlets, installing light fixtures, and replacing our electric box. Would definitely recommend.

It went well, in spite of some surprises (this is an older house after all). Steve and Steven work quite efficiently and are quite precise even when having to run wire through floor joists and into an attic. We have had them now to our home several times and highly recommend them.
Description of Work: Provided and installed four ceiling canister lights with LED lighting, and two switches, cut through ceiling into attic and attic floor, ran wires for all installed an outlet in the kitchen, and ran wires for a light fix in the bathroom, again through the attic.

He was 5 minutes early. Him and son arrived ready to start work. They are so clean and quick. Very respectful. I asked about a few other prices on work to be done and his quotes were so reasonable. I loved how quick they were, they came in to do the job, did it and made sure I approved. Overall best electrical experience I've ever had. I consider Nichol's Electric my new electrician. So happy I found them. Thanks Angie's List!!!
Description of Work: He installed two paddle fans in my bedrooms. He even honored an additional coupon I had.

Steve and his son were on time and were very professional. The recessed lighting that was installed on our first floor looks excellent, and provides us the lighting that we very much needed. Part of the ceiling needed to be cut out for the wiring to be run to connect the recessed lights, and this was done with very minimal mess and they covered the furniture as well. They were very neat and picked up after their work was completed. The wiring that was run for ceiling fans in the upstairs bedrooms was exactly what I expected. I would definitely recommend Nichols Electrical to anyone who is considering having electrical work done.
Description of Work: Steve and his son installed recessed lighting in our family room with a dimmer, and also ran wiring in our 4 upstairs bedrooms so we can put up ceiling fans.
