Bear Creek Electric Inc

It went really well. He looked at the problem/s and the electrical box and found that the breakers on BOTH the "previous" two circuits that were now one had to be switched off and back on again as well as the GFI on the most recent plugin that was installed by another electrician about 5 or 6 months ago. He fixed the problem in minutes and showed me what he done as well as the breaker box situation which will be helpful for me in the future.....plus I found him to be a nice guy as well! I think I found my electrician in the Valley for the future.

We had an outlet on the back  porch that was sparking, and causing other outlets on the string to not work. Our dishwasher, and outlet by the stove did not work any longer.   They fixed and replaced the sparking outlet with a "temporary" outlet to get us back up and running. That fixed the  issue with the outlet on the back porch and rest of the string in the kitchen.  They also found and connected another outlet in the kitchen that had never worked becaue the building contractor had never had it done.! That was awesome!

They did say they would return with an outdoor cover for the outlet on the back porch - that still hasn't happened yet - not sure when (if). 

They did clean up after themselves - no debris laying about - which was nice considering that I ususally have to pick up trash and garbage after other contractors. 

They were polite and friendly - kept my daughter informed about what they were doing.

Lowes was offering the same install at a price of $149 guaranteed.  We chose Bear Creek due to a good rating on Angie's List and they over charged us for the install.  Bear Creek did not give us an estimate or a receipt.  They stated that they would give us a discount for being an Angie's List member, and the price was still an over charge even with the discount.  Shame on you Bear Creek for greedy pockets. The law of karma may come back down on your head. They never contacted me or refunded any of my money.

It went fine.  He was friendly, quick, and reassuring.

He was prompt, efficient, and very helpful in troubleshooting the best solution for multiple light fixtures wired to the same switch plate. I didn't feel pressured at all to choose features or work that would have been more expensive or complicated than I wanted. He explained my options thoroughly and provided exactly what I asked for. I'm very pleased with the light and the switch configuration.

Roy came out and gave me a bid of $300 to do the job.  He said that the bid was a little high, in order to allow for extra parts that might be necessary once he got started.  I was fine with that.  Roy asked me to dig out around the conduit where it came out of the ground next to the shop before he was to start his work. Over the weekend (prior to Roy coming out to do the work) I did the digging.  The conduit was exposed as he asked.  He also asked me to purchase the new breaker panel and new breakers and have the wall opened up so that he would have a clear work space in order to install the new panel and reconfigure the wires.  He said that if I did the digging, opened the wall, and bought the new parts, that it would save time and expense on his part and help to keep my bill down.  When he started the job (a few days later) he determined that the conduit hole needed to be wider and that the new breaker panel needed to be located on the opposite side of a doorway (old panel was on the right side of the door, new panel needed to be on the left side of the door) due to space limitations with the new breaker panel.  At this point, he made no mention of additional costs.  He did say that he needed a part that he did not have and went to get it and then returned to finish the work.  When he was finished with his work (which appeared to be well done and professionally correct) he told me that the final bill would be $500 because of the extra digging (he made the hole about 18" wider than I had it) and the extra part and wire needed to go over the door to the new breaker panel location.  I always expect a small increase over bid from most trades people.  It's a fact of life.  I anticipate 10% - 15%.  The $500 bill was a 67% increase, which I find totally unacceptable, given the small amount of work that was done. On top of the outrageous charge, Roy left the job site (inside my workshop) a total mess.  I will not be using Bear Creek Electric again.

He seemed very efficient, trustworthy, professional, and honest. His price was reasonable as well.

Roy was easy to talk to and seemed like a very trustworthy guy. He did an excellent job from start to finish. His prices were fair and he showed up earlier than he said he would. The fan looks great and I don't have to run extension cords into the powder room anymore (yay!) I will definitely be calling him again. Thanks Roy!

Very happy with results.  He stayed late in the evening to finish.

He was extremely professional.  Was very well prepared for the service call.  Extremely pleasant and easy to talk too.  Did a wonderful job.  I would highyl recommend him.  We have used him multiple times.

Our furnace had been living under its own rules for at least 5 years.  Going off when we attempted to adjust the thermostat below 72 degrees and coming back on when it felt like it.  It always made winter a cold experience in our home as keeping the house above 72 degrees was too expensive.  I put off having it repaired because I did not know who to call and because I did not have the money.  After getting a second job this year and having the new Angie's list as referral I called Bear Creek.  They came out the same day and fixed it that day.  It was an electronic thermostat that had gone bad so most of the cost was for the part.  The worker was very professional and made my 21 year (he was home during the repair) feel comfortable though he had to be in our living space most of the day - it is an attic furnace.  We are very happy to have a home that is evenly heated @ 68 degrees now!

Very well

Very friendly, he came out and did it so fast! We had our light in front of the house that was very dim and we where having to change the bulb all the time! It was always getting filled with bugs and spiders. He switched the fixture to new one we bought at the store, he had to assemble it a little bit but it would have taken us all day to probably try and figure it out!!

Went very well! Great price compared to the rest and from what i could tell did some real quality work. Picked up after himself before he left that really surprised me!

Very punctual, professional, went above and beyond what I thought! Would recommend to my closest friends and family or anyone for that matter!
