I have an 1857 house which was in need of electrical work. A line of knob and tube needed to be removed and numerous light fixtures had to be replaced with antique fixtures and fans. (about 13) Additionally, GFI's had to replace standard outlets in the kitchen and bath. Rick was prompt in responding to every phone call, arrived punctually and was very knowledgeable; explaining what he recommended and why. Like all the other electricians from which I received an estimate, he agreed to replace the knob and tube in the basement but he was also willing to trace that line, fish it out of the walls and replace it in the living room and hallway. He warned me that he would have to cut pieces out of the walls and ceiling to do so but would minimize the damage to the historic house. His estimate was comparable to the other companies but he was provided slightly more by fishing out that knob and tube upstairs.
Rick arrived with his work men, Kevin and Ben, as scheduled. The men were polite, always precisely on time and communicated with me on any questionable issues as well as simply updating me on the progress. They did minimize the damage to small areas as they promised. I should have no difficulty patching the holes that were necessary to complete the work. Because I did not have one of the antique fixtures ready for installation they had to make a return trip. Rick was happy to schedule the return visit at my convenience. Kevin was prompt in returning to finish the work, as he and Ben had been on each of the 4 days they worked for me. The workmanship was excellent and the electricians were very professional. Kevin even helped me out with a non electrical related issue I was experiencing on the return visit; simply out of kindness. I was extremely satisfied with all facets of this job from the communication to the workmanship and as noted, the cost was very competitive. I would most definitely choose Heflin again and recommend them to others.
The next morning he and a colleague replaced some know and tube wiring in the basement with new Romex and went over all the connections they could locate. Somewhere in there they restored power, and we didn't have to go to extremes of knocking holes in the walls.
The bill seemed like a significant amount, but there was a significant number of man-hours on this project (I'm familiar enough with wiring to have a good feel for what's involved, and it was a headscratcher for me). I feel the charges were fair and much better than what I had feared I might be in for. Mostly I was impressed and grateful for how quickly they responded and fixed the problem.
