Anna was outstanding. She was upfront about the possible price increases/decreases. Further, she offered options for maintenance on outside outlets that I had not considered, but made a huge amount of sense. This was NOT bait and switch by any means, but the presentation of better, and in the long run more cost-efficient, options. Further, she was careful about mess and debris, as well as wearing a mask and social distancing in my home. I would certainly engage King Electric, and Anna, the next time I need electrical work done.

Technician unable to identify problem. Promised a quote to rewire entire basement. Never received. Paid 150$ for no advice whatsoever. New electrician identified and corrected for 20$.

I had a variety of issues that I called King about. They came out promptly and assessed each issue thoroughly and explained the options available. I was very pleased with the quote and the work was extremely efficient and done well. Overall I am very happy with this service.

On a co-workers' recommendation, we called King to come do some work on the spot and to quote us for further work updating the late 1970s house we bought with safer outlets and modern lighting. Two workers - one a woman, to my delight - arrived promptly as scheduled this morning, and quickly, efficiently, and clearly walked through today's planned work and outlining the work we want done in the future. Both worked swiftly to complete GFI installation on the spot, and explained their process for future work. Today's job was contracted on the spot and completed and paid; upcoming work will be quoted in pieces so we can select or modify the work we wish to have done. I'm very pleased and impressed with the quality and professionalism of the workers and their work and look forward to working with them again. It's good to work with professionals for one more reason; the peace of mind that the work is being done correctly, to code, for our safety.

I was very pleased with the work done by King Electric and the professional manner in which they conducted themselves from the point of initial contact to set-up the appointment through the completion of the work. They arrived promptly at 8 am as promised both days of work and worked conscientiously the entire time they were here. I was especially impressed with the fact that on the first day, the General Manager arrived with the two electricians and reviewed each item of work to be done per the written agreement, walked though the entire job with them in my presence to ensure that they understood what needed to be done, and marked the location of switches and outlets. They wanted to be sure that the understood what I wanted done and allowed me to make a few last minute changes that I requested. I would definitely recommend King Electric to others based on my experience with them on this job.

Joe and his coworker contacted me when they were on their way to my home. They were very professional, polite, and immediately put on work socks to prevent tracking of any dirt into the home. They quickly found the issue, resolved it, and installed new parts. All work and parts are warrantied by them for 3 years without any fee to service or replace them. Overall a great experience and I will definitely be contacting King Electric again for any electrical work on my home.

Excellent communication. Arrived on time and Tech confirmed work to be performed. Efficiently went from one task to another until complete. I purchased several types of flood lights and the Tech offered suggestions and explanations for all our questions. Would definitely call again.

Justin came out to perform an estimate initially and provided us with multiple options for our job. On the day of, the team showed up on time, was very professional, and finished the work in the time promised. We needed to have two electrical outlets installed in order to run 2 separate beverage refridgerators. They had to combine circuits on our panel, fish wires through our walls and spend hours crouching in our crawlspace. They made sure to check with me prior to doing the work so that it would be done to my satisfaction. They cleaned up after themselves and were very friendly. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

They have been here a couple times, I'm not all that enamored with them. I don't know if it's the company or it's the person that they send to me. He wasn't a very good problem solver. If it wasn't obvious then it wasn't within his realm. He said that there was nothing he could do with that without ripping out the whole ceiling and that surprised me because I thought electricians could run wires. They were relatively responsive.

When I called to schedule, the woman in the office said they didn't have a minimum charge, but that they would assess the problem and give me a price and I could choose not to get the work done if it was unacceptable. However, when they arrived I was told they had a minimum $145 fee just to show up, so I definitely felt I had been misled. In addition to that, the problem was "cosmetic" to use their term, and all they did was flip the circuit breaker back on and tape a small slash in the wire (that my husband said later wasn't even where he had hit the wire!) They also reversed two plugs and left the plaster mess on the counter. Couldn't have been here 1/2 hour.
Response from King Electric
"We do not have a service call fee, travel fee, or an hourly fee. We try to quote everything before starting any work once we get to the home. The $145.00 is the minimum repair/service fee which was quoted when we got there. If the minimum service and repair fee was not acceptable at that point, there would not have been a charge. We took out 2 receptacles and reinstalled them the correct way. We checked the wiring, taped up the nick that we saw (maybe there were more than one nick), and reset the breaker. This was done for $145.00 which is the minimum repair/service fee. We apologize for the confusion and that our electrician misstated what the minimum service and repair fee was for. However, we did perform a small service and the minimum repair/service fee was properly quoted beforehand."

The guys were prompt, friendly, and professional. They also took the time to share some tips with me on how to save money on my electric bill. I followed their instructions and it worked! Also, they are priced very reasonable. They charge $280ish for the foyer light. I received estimates up to $650 for that same job! 5+++ stars out of 5!

I was pleasantly surprised to get a real person (a receptionist) on the phone when I called. She made sure to look up whether any electricians were available for same-day service before taking my info. Two guys were fortunately able to come over within a couple of hours. They immediately put booties on over their shoes when coming in, which I appreciated immensely. And they walked me through prices/options before starting work: based on the issue, they offered single-circuit repair work for a flat fee. They were very courteous and professional, and took the time to explain what was going on - as a single woman, I'm wary of male contractors being condescending, but they were very approachable and easily answered my questions. I'll gladly call them again should any future issues arise.

The experience was fantastic from start to finish. I submitted a request for service online, and within the 48 hours that was indicated, I received a call back from their scheduler. He was knowledgeable and gave me advice with how to proceed especially with the ceiling fan. We scheduled an appointment two and a half weeks after the initial inquiry due to our schedule. They would have been available sooner. When the electricians arrived on time, they assessed the chandelier and ceiling fan issues and gave me a thorough explanation of what they were going to do and how the costs covered their work. They cleaned up and finished within an hour and a half. They were friendly and professional.

They did a great job. The only problem was that they broke the connection of the exhaust fan and could not fix it.

Joe came twice for the same issue - didn't address it properly the first time. Came back, charged us again, to correctly ascertain the problem. Said he would follow up with an estimate to do the work, and never has.
Response from King Electric
"At King Electric we pride ourselves in doing what is right for our clients. Here is a description of how the job took place. On Fri 1/27/17 We arrived at the client's home on and called before our arrival. Upon arrival, the homeowner walked us through 3 separate issues. First, was concerning the range hood. We explained to the homeowner that we do not repair appliances, but we could check the connections to the hood to make sure it was receiving the correct voltage. The second issue was concerning the lack of lighting in the garage, and the third issue was the master bedroom/closet/bathroom lighting. Once we went over the issues we informed the client that we have a minimum service and repair fee of $145.00. Which the client authorized to investigate those items. First, we repaired the connections, and socket for the range hood, and informed the client which type of bulb the unit requires. The LED bulbs the client installed we not compatible. Second, we diagnosed the issue with the garage lighting was due to the old Knob & Tube/ BX wiring being disconnected. We informed the client new MC wiring and fixtures would need to be installed to correct the issue. The client asked us for a proposal outlining the work needed. We emailed a proposal on 2/1/17, and the client responded back declining the work. Third, concerning the lights in the master bedroom area. We explained to the client that the lights were on multiple switches and that because they are LED lights, either the dimmers or the LED fixtures were not compatible. The client informed us that they would try a different bulb and let us know, but did not want us to proceed any further. King Electric collected the payment for service provided which involved 2 electricians for 1.5 hours. After receiving an email that the issues were not resolved, we made a return trip. On Fri 2/10/17, We arrived a the clients home on time and called before we came. Upon arrival, the homeowner walked us through 2 issues they still were having. First, the range hood was not working again. The client had put in different bulbs and they did not work. We inspected the situation and found that one of the bulbs was not screwed in all the way, and the other was bad. We informed the client and told them there was no charge for this. The second issue was concerning the master bedroom/closet/bathroom lighting again. The client had tried different bulbs and it did not resolve the issue. The client then asked us to replace the switch to one of them. We explained that this would not resolve the issue, and would have to charge her another minimum service and repair fee if we supply and install it. They insisted and authorized the work. We replaced the switch, checked all the connections and found that the issue was not related to the dimmers. We opened the fixtures and found hazardous wiring conditions due to the illegal wiring from a previous electrician. We showed them the incompatible drivers (for the led lights), open wiring, buried junctions, and illegal LED trim piece (no housing). We explained the dangers involved and the client requested another proposal to complete resolve the issue. We collected the minimum service and repair fee which again involved 2 electricians, 1 hour of time, and materials. We emailed the client a proposal on 2/10/17 outlining the work required to the correct the hazardous wiring/lights, in which we received no response."
