We were very pleased with the work they completed.  And they were very responsive when my husband called with a follow up question.  Eddie also gave us a list of other types of contractors that he recommended which we appreciated since we are new to the area.  We would not hesitate to contact them again next time we need an electrician!

Ed Wood responded the same day I emailed and came out for an estimate (actually looked at work to be done, as opposed to guess-timating). Gave a good price and had work done within 2 days. Was punctual, neat, very communicative, and did a great job installing an exterior light. Would definately use again : ).

I contacted Opal Electric to provide an estimate for electrical hookup of a hot tub, and Ed called me back the same day. We set an appointment and he came right on time. The next day he sent me the estimate. While I was getting other quotes, Ed contacted me to make sure I received the estimate and to ask if I had any questions. I did have a couple and he answered them promptly. After I decided to hire him, Ed went to the township to submit the permit application - he had done his own research on my particular hot tub model in order to fill out the paper work. On the scheduled work date, Ed and Chris showed up right on time. They did a great job on the wiring, cleaned up after themselves, and even helped me move the hot tub to its final position. I would not hesitate to use them again, and in fact, I've already asked him for an estimate on some additional work. I highly recommend Opal Electric.

Ed did a great job - he was available when we needed him, showed up on time, and charged us a reasonable price for the work done. He is honest and I would use him again for our next electrical job.

We've used this company for two different jobs, and both times were very pleased with their work.  I anticipate more electrical work to be done in my home and will definitely use Opal Electric.  We've also recommended them to friends and neighbors.
Response from Opal Electric Services

"So happy you were pleased with our work. Thanks so much for all of the referrals around the neighborhood also."

Owner Ed Wood provided exceptional service leading up to performing the work.  He gave a thorough explanation of the work when doing the estimate, and responded within one day to a number of emails prior to our accepting the estimate.  The price was lower than other estimates received.  Ed and his brother performed the work in an efficient manner, and, as far as I can tell, did good work.  They tested the transfer panel by starting the generator, and spent a few minutes getting the generator to run properly.

My call returned the next day. Ed & Chris were extremely professional. Price was very reasonable. Clean-up was top notch. They went above and beyond what was agreed upon. They actually fixed an outside dangling phone line and attached it to my house.  I would highly recommend them and will use them in the future.   AAA+++

We received a reasonable estimate and went ahead with the work. Between getting the estimate and starting the work we made some changes to the plan, primarily involving extra work. Opal only increased the cost by a modest amount. They did the work on schedule - they were in and out in a day. The work was done to a very good standard and we are very satisfied with there work. We will definitely use them again if we need more electrical work.

Opal Electric (Ed Wood) came in and inspected all of the units and was able to determine that one of the units in the basement was bad. Ed ran out, bought a replacement unit and intalled it right away. They did a great job at a reasonable price.

Ed was very plesant and professional from the time he answered my telephone call to completion of the job and leaving my home. Although this was a small job, I would not hesitate to call Opal Electric again for any electrical work in my home.

This service (two different jobs) he provided was very good. Ed Wood (the electrician) was very professional, arrived on time, and was very efficient. The first time, he came to repair a dead electric socket in the garage; while there, he discovered that the people who built our house had connected it to the bathroom electrical circuit (!). So he quickly repaired it, but since that outlet was not capable of handling the load it was likely to experience it, set up a second appointment to install a new circuit about a week later. All of the work was completed to what appears to be a very high standard of quality. Mr. Wood was very knowledgable and professional, and was concerned about ensuring that the whole problem was well solved. We subsequently had him do a smaller job (installing some Ethernet cable) which was also well done. I will use his services again the next time I need an electrician and I would give him a strongly favorable recommendation.

After checking with Angies List, I contacted Ed Wood (owner). He came to my home the next day to review the project. He provide me a quotation via e-mail the following day and performed the work as promised the following week. His work appears to be excellent and the property was cleaned before he left. I plan upon using him again for other electical projects and strongly recommend him.

My husband contacted Chris and Ed Wood of Opal Electric to have two ceiling fans installed into our upstairs bedrooms. We have recently moved into our new home and the bedrooms had no installed lighting fixtures. We were concerned about punching holes into the ceiling, running wiring, and putting switches in to control the ceiling fans. Chris and Ed came over the day after my husband called them to provide an estimate. They provided a fair estimate ($450.00) and allowed us to purchase ceiling fans of our liking for the spaces. They were even able to come over at a convenient time for us, as my husband had to re-schedule based on meetings. It took about two hours to install the fans; Chris and Ed were friendly, polite, and extremely professional throughout the entire experience, taking the time to explain what they were doing and showing us how everything would work (dimmer switches, lighting, changing direction of fans during particular seasons, etc.). I would definitely recommend Opal Electric to anyone, as we plan to use their services in the future!
