Ron was the lead electrician who managed the entire installation. He was professional, competent, and efficient, and was in full communication with us regarding our goals and expectations - very customer service oriented, and the system works well. We have asked Ron to handle several other electrical issues around our home. Transworld's office staff has been responsive, sending him out on the same day where required. He's terrific, and so is the office staff.

The two men stuck with it until they fixed it. Now it will check itself every week and come on when our electricity goes off.

The commercial work was the selection and installation of two high HP motor starter switches with low voltage protection.  Three other companies looked at the job and turned it down, one claiming that it couldn't be done.  Transworld did it easily.  The residential work seemed simple to me, but the bids were all over the map.  Transworld had the low bid and performed quality work.  They showed up on time and did the work they said they were going to do at the quoted cost with no add-ons.

We contacted Transword Electrical to come out and survey the wiring of our house using the CurrentSAFE program after a lightning strike. The service came recommended to us by our friend who used to be an electrician. I believe CurrentSAFE subcontracts through Transworld, but I believe the electrician was a Transworld employee (though, I'm not entirely sure).  The process was frustrating. When I first contacted them, I was told I needed to arrange an appointment to have them come to the house to survey, which made sense. That said, when the person arrived, it was only to 'check-out' the breaker box and a handful of outlets, as well as playing a brief PowerPoint presentation. Once we had gone over the presentation and the paperwork, I then had to schedule the actual appointment. This is what I found to be most frustrating! I felt everything in the initial meeting could have been handled electronically with a PDF and pictures, but instead I had to waste time having someone come out only to make another appointment. 
The electrician was able to come out the following day, which was a relief because I was initially told he wouldn't have been available until the following week. The gentleman was on time, very polite and seemingly thorough. I didn't have many questions during his walk-through of the house, but he was able to answer the questions I did have. The process was very convenient (for us). 
We were told by the 1st person (salesman, really) that we would have a report by Tuesday (he told us this Thursday in the initial meeting). By late Tuesday, I hadn't heard from anyone so I called to find out the status of our report. I was told the guy was 'unavailable' and to call in the morning. I called in the morning - he wasn't in yet. I was told he was busy but should have my report done 'around noon'. I called around noon and was told I needed to schedule another appointment to have someone go over the report with us - that person was the 1st guy we dealt with. We arranged a meeting for the following day, and upon arriving at the arranged spot, we were given the report. He sat there and watched us flip through the report without giving any real guidance about it (which, most of it was easy to understand). We had one relatively simple question, and he could not answer it. He proceeded to tell us that he was not an electrician and would have to call someone. I was very annoyed and frustrated at this point, and the process seemed very much like a waste of time. That said, he was able to get someone on the phone who was able to answer the question. 
All in all, I would recommend the service for peace of mind - especially after a lightning strike! Just be warned, the process is kind of a waste of time and can be frustrating, especially if you have questions about the report.
Response from Transworld Electrical Contractors
"Thanks for the review. We apologize for your frustrating experience. Both the technician and the salesman are employees of Transworld. CurrentSAFE is the Home Inspection Service which we provide. Normally the process is much quicker and we will find out why it took so long to receive your report. The Salesman's objective is to explain our services before testing and to explain the results and answer questions afterwards. If this was not done, we will see to it that he is better trained and prepared for future Home Assessments. We hope that you will keep us in mind for future electrical work. Thanks again."

It went okay until a week later I was not able to turn on my ceiling fan in living room or patio. Transworld electrician was having problems with the wiring. However, i got someone else in and he corrected the problem. It costed me $85 from the other person and $168 for transworld. Not very happy about them at this time.

They came in, did the work as requested and hung the sconces. Perfect job, within budget. Fair price. 100% satisfied.  Plan on using them again when we connect to electric service underground. Currently the street wires are on Poles.

For the most part they were good.  After they were done, a couple weeks later, there was an electrical problem with the circuits. They charged me for the 2nd visit which I did not appreciate. They had to replace two outdoor circuits. However, they are very reputable and I would recommend them. The technicians that did come out were presentable and professional.

They are very reliable. They are on time and able to come out the same day I called. They leave the house in immaculate condition. The men were very nice and helpful and answered all my questions well. They gave me a detailed report to refer to. The receptionist was even nice when it came time for scheduling. My experience was just marvelous. I would recommend them highly.

They arrived on time for the appointment. Scheduling was easy and they worked around my schedule since I am a nurse.  They gave me a complete detailed report after the appointment. They were very professional and explained what was going on with my electrical work. I felt very comfortable with the service and I have nothing but good things to say.

They were prompt for the appointment and were good about coming in the house to show us how things worked in the house. They followed up to check on the generator. It was easy to schedule and they accommodated to my schedule. There were two technicians and it took about 2 hours to complete the work. Their prices are reasonable as well.

They were great and we have no complaints. They were easy to schedule with and they were on time for the appointment.  They were very curteous and explained everything they did during the appointment to us. Two technicians came out and it took about 3 hours to complete the work.
