Haven't tested line yet. It was installed to enable internet and cable TV service which has not been done.

Jon, our contractor, was great. He was on time, knowledgeable, and worked quickly. He also identified and fixed another problem in the panel. Unfortunately this was the second time we had scheduled someone from CW to fix this issue. They were supposed to come the week before, but they did not show up. I had to call their main office to be told they would not come within the agreed-upon time window.

They "confirmed" my appointment for Monday - it was Friday. Then on Thursday evening, they cancelled my Friday appointment, after I took the day off. When I tried to reschedule, they would not not work with me for after work (beyond 5 p.m. or a Saturday). They said they would come in the morning between 8-10, after I had already taken time off from work and they cancelled. UNRELIABLE, UNPROFESSIONAL, but they must have a lot of relatives who love them to give them so many high recommendations!
Response from CW Electrical Services INC

"I am sorry to hear you had a poor experience with our company. I am not sure how or why your project was overlooked on our schedule but will reenforce to our scheduler the importance of timely arrivals and overbooking appointments. Our goal is 100% customer satisfaction through the entire process and in this case we failed a customer. I do apologize for the inconvenience as that was not our intent. If the service has not been performed, I would like to offer a credit for service in the amount of $300 to pay for the time missed at work. If the service is under $300, we will perform the service for free. We are a good company that values our customers and in this case a mistake took place, in which we would happily cover the losses incurred."

We had a circuit stop working and called CWES for assistance in part because they could come promptly. I want to compliment the electrician, Jon, who solved our problem, after an initial visit from another technician from their firm who could not diagnose the problem. The problem was simple but unusual. We have a switch box for a backup generator connected to our breaker panel and someone (probably me) pushed a switch into the wrong position, turning off that circuit. Jon noticed the switch problem. CWES reasonably charged us for one service call. Ask for Jon if you call them.

Great- service is the ticket . Out of four electrical services I contacted, CW was the only one who came to the house to give me an estimate and see the electrical problem I wanted fixed. That was the biggest reason I chose CW to do the job- personal service. (Everyone's estimate, even over the phone, was about the same)

Today servicemen Tyler and Santo came to our home to replace plug outlets in our home. They were both very professional and punctual. They worked very hard and cleaned up after. They made sure we were pleased with the job. I will definitely recommend the company CW Electrics to family and friends.

CW Electrical Services was quick to review the work I wanted done, provide an estimate and schedule my job. Mike and Joe were at my house first thing in the morning on the scheduled day. I had a multiple lights/outlets/switches installed and/or replaced and they worked all day even staying past their normal quitting time to complete my job so I wouldn't have to take another day off work. I would hire them again for any future electrical needs.

The was started and completed in a professional manner. The price of our job was very reasonable. Our electrician Michael assessed the problem very quickly. A part needed to be ordered to replace the exhaust fan in the bathroom. We requested that Michael come back to do the actual installation. He was very quick with his service and cleaned up the area when he was finished. We appreciated the time and effort he put forth in answering additional questions we had about other electric outlets in our home. I will definitely be contacting this company again and I will make recommendations to my friends and family.

The person never showed up to the appointment. Never called to cancel either. No professionalism at all. Would never hire them.

Completely satisfied with CW electric. Needed assorted work done in our home to be ready to sell. Dave came out and gave a free estimate - spent time going over all of our needs. Jon was our electrician and he was very knowledgeable and did a great job! Their price was great as well. The only electric company we plan to use from now on.

Nice guy, on time, professional. But overpriced.
Response from CW Electrical Services INC

"We are sorry the job estimated did not fit your budget for the project. We are very conscious of our customers budgets but on this particular job, we could not meet him where he needed us to be. We provided a free on site estimate and priced the job according to what was asked."

Jon was fantastic, and basically saved this review from being something horrible (his ratings would be all As.) He did a fantastic, thorough job and was all-around funny and helpful. He fixed all of my electrical problems and answered a ton of questions I had along the way. He cleaned up after the work was done and was very respectful. I could tell he really cares about the quality of his work and I would absolutely hire HIM again. BUT...be warned... This company called me back after I had left a message over the weekend, and convinced me they would be able to do the work and sooner than another company. I cancelled another service appointment with a competitor because they said they would fit me in the next day. I took time off from work so I would be available and near the end of my two hour service window I called to get an update on their arrival. I was told by Dan that they were still at the appointment scheduled before mine, and they would call me 15 minutes before arriving. An hour and a half later, Dan calls me back and says they aren't coming out. Uh...what?! Oh, it was only 3:30 p.m. Not sure about you, but my work day doesn't end at 3:30, so I was alarmed they couldn't at least come out to assess the problem. I was insistent that they hold up their end, but Dan wasn't concerned and told me that this stuff happens. Um, what a terrible way to do business. I lost half a day of pay because they assured me they could fit me in and then and Dan's answer was, "Well, we can get someone out to you tomorrow." Which equals, more time I lost at work. Jon came the next day (on time) and is the only reason why I would consider hiring CW Electrical again, but if you are someone who likes your time respected, be advised and don't be surprised.
Response from CW Electrical Services INC

"I am glad you found our technician to be helpful, knowledgable and provided you an excellent service. We are very respectful of our customers time and to that extent, we do not rush through our work, just so we can get to the next customer. The service end of the business is very challenging because a service call can last as little as 20 minutes or can develop into an all day job. In most cases, we have no idea how long the service calls will take but can assign some rough time values. This is why we schedule our appointments in windows of 2-4 hours. We received this customers inquiry on Monday, after she left a voicemail over the weekend. Of course, all of our techs were scheduled for other customers already. Dan let her know we could try to fit her in at the end of the day, being she needed a same day service appointment, she agreed. Dan called this customer at 330pm to let her know we could not make it as all our techs were still out on calls. The techs on this particular day, did not end their days until 430-5pm. We start our day at 7am and most guys are here at 630am. It makes for a very long day and I appologize that the circumstances surrounding this particular day, caused every tech to be out later than the standard 8 hours and Dan made the decision to reschedule this customer rather take advantage of our employees, which I completely agree with. It really is a no win situation. We could force an employee to work a 10-11 hour day and create poor work atmosphere or upset a customer. We do the best we can to satisfy both each and every day and will continue."

After some initial miscommunication with the phone operator/scheduler about appointment availability - I was given a time window and arranged to be home from work for it. The next call about an hour into my window started with "We think we can fit you in today...." instead of "our technician's last job ran a bit longer...." Anyhow, the technician arrived only a short time after the end of the original window I was given. Jon did a great job! He was fast to troubleshoot the issue and make the repair. My lights are working again and it was completed within the first hour of diagnostic time so I didn't have to pay additional fees than what I was quoted for the diagnostic when I first called. I have an excellent paper receipt that documents the certification numbers for the state and city.

Jon came on time, was very professional, was in and out in an hour and a half, and the ceiling fan looks beautiful and work much better than the one I installed before. I would ask for Jon again. thanks!

We found the CW electrician to not be particularly thorough and the company to be unprofessional. The electrician who came out thought the problems we were having were simply due to loose connections. That seemed puzzling, so after he left, we had two other electricians come out who both immediately identified overloaded circuits in certain parts of the house. They were thorough, actually showed up on time, and responded with quotes as promised after the visits. CW had to be prodded into doing the follow ups, so I wouldn’t recommend them.
