Initially, I was not happy with the fact that no one wanted to come to my house to assess our situation simply because I am a nurse who is currently working with patients diagnosed with COVID-19 after an apt was already in place and they were aware of my job and duties. I get it, it can be scary but I assured them that I was not sick and that all necessary precautions are made to avoid contaminating my home. I also told them that I wouldn't have anyone at my house if there was ANY chance I may be contaminated. They could have let it go an moved on with their lives as I'm sure that they are not lacking business. They did not, instead I received a call later on in the day asking if they can come over today to perform a diagnostic and take a look at the things I needed to be repaired. I accepted the offer, they performed a free diagnostic test on multiple light switches and repaired one of the fans that was not working at no cost to me. I was given additional advice on what to do with the other fixtures that need repair and what would more than likely be the cheaper route. I truly appreciate that they called me and made things better as that takes a lot of courage to do than to simply ignore what happened and move. I will be contacting them for my additional repairs. Shout out to Terry for stepping up and coming into my home.

Turns out the lighting unit was not working due to a switch hidden behind a picture. The technician was there for less than a half hour, did some diagnostic work and then found the hidden switch. They nonetheless charged the FULL amount for the visit (over $200). I called to let them know if they had made some accommodations, we would be customers for life. They made no accommodations and we will not use them ever again. Disappointing for a self-proclaimed Christian company.

Dear Mr. [Member Name Removed], We did receive a call from you and the request was forwarded to our service manager. He called your phone twice (prior to the bad report) for you to call him back so we could make accommodations. We are disappointed you gave us a D review without giving us an opportunity to talk to you. Please call us back so we can discuss acceptable options and so you can make a review based on our actual response. Also, according to records from the vehicle's GPS we at your home for 53 minutes. The diagnostics charge to you of $177.30 is a fixed price to find the problem no matter how long it takes so our customers will not get run away bills, but we do make accommodations if the problem is found in a short period of time. Given the opportunity to communicate with our customers we have had a large majority of A ratings from our Angie's list customers for the last 12 years. We have been awarded the their Super Service award every year. We are also accredited by the BBB, have no complaints, and have their highest rating: A+. We look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Larry Good, President.

Fantastic job and honest pricing. They came out did a very thorough job. After everything was done, they even send me a check in the mail for the Angie's list discount since the technician forgot to give it to me when he came out (and I forgot to ask). I will definitely hire them again for any future electrical work.

It went great! Rafael and Zackery called to announce when they would arrive. They got to our home exactly at that specific time. Before quoting a price, Rafael listened to both fans and stated that he knew, right away, what was the problem. Rafael then stated what it would cost to repair the fans. He started on the first fan and pointed out to me that the wiring had not been properly stowed in the ceiling fixture. As a result, a wire rubbed against the motor when the fan was in operation. That solved the ticking noise problem. At the second fan, he again said he thought he knew what the problem was. Upon disassembly, he discovered that the remote control unit had come loose and was rubbing against the fan motor. Additionally, he noted that whomever installed the fan had placed the remote unit to sit upon the assembly that held the fan motor steady so that it didn't wobble. After further investigation, he also noted that two of the screws needed to secure the fan housing had never been installed. Rafael then got a couple of the right size screws and secured the fan motor as shown in the instructions and placed the remote receiver in its proper location. As he had done with the with the first fan, he reinstalled the fan lighting, started the fan, took it through its three settings, as well as the light fixture three settings, and finished up. I was really pleased with both of the electricians. Both went out of their way to explain what was needed, how long it would take, and the total cost. I would highly recommend Goode Electric for any electrical work.

I submitted project through Angies list and 4 contractors were given an opportunity to respond. Good responded first and provided a phone estimate on the work requested. The service technician, David, arrived promptly and performed a circuit diagnosis throughout the house. He determined that I did not need 6 GFCI outlets installed as I had requested on estimate; only one. This resulted in my cost being reduced by $500!!! Additionally, David explained the process of GFCI receptacles and how they function. He took his time to ensure every receptacle in the house was functioning correctly. He was professional, courteous and service driven. I will hire Good Electric for any future jobs and definitely request David as the service technician. Overall an excellent experience.

I wanted a new electrical plug added in the kitchen to accommodate a microwave that had been tripping the circuit breaker. They did have to crawl through the roof from the garage to drop the line into the wall of the kitchen, but I thought the cost was excessive.

Great job. Terry and his helper, Zack came on time as scheduled. After a survey of the work required, i received a bid and then agreed on the work. They installed a GFCI outlet on an exterior wall using an existing open circuit breaker slot in my outside electrical panel. Then they cut into two existing circuits in the attic, ran wire and installed outlets to support security system electrical requirements. All was done efficiently and professionally. Terry was excellent in training his apprentice -- asking Zack what he would do and then explaining why it should be done that way. I appreciate that Terry took time to explain to me what he was doing and why. They finished after about 4 hours, cleaned up and departed after leaving assurances of the Good Electric guarantee and warranty. I'm very happy with the work.

Terry and Richard came and replaced an outlet in the bedroom with a GFCI outlet. They are professional and courteous and answered all my questions. I will have them back in the future to replace other outlets inside the house. 6 days days later Terry came back and installed a surge protector in the bedroom and 1 in the den. He also replaced another outlet in the bedroom with a GFCI outlet.

I have used Good twice once in 2015 when the power went out in an upstairs bedroom and then once in the last year to install new gcfi outlets and to diagnose provide estimates for a couple of issues we were having. Had I rated them in 2015 I would have given them an A across the board, the tech came in and within the 2 hours service I had bought he was able to find where the issue was and easily repair it. With regard to the most recent service within the last year, I cannot say positive things. The GCFI outlets were installed quickly and professionally for the stated price. The issue I had was due to the other issues we wanted diagnosed/estimated. Only one of the four outlets in my daughters room worked and we obviously wanted those fixed. The tech told my wife that there was no way for him to know which outlet was the problem and it would cost $200 per outlet for him to open each up to try to find the problem. He said we could get lucky and it might be the first one, but it might not. We obviously didn't have the tech do the work. I finally got around to looking at it myself yesterday and using a plug tester discovered that there was an open neutral somewhere in the line. A quick visit to youtube showed me how to fix, quickly. The work that we had the company do was done well, probably a little expensive but I was willing to pay. BUT I would not hire them again, I would never hire a company to charge me $200 to take the face plate off of an outlet and potentially need them to do it 4 times. I hire an expert because they should know how to diagnose a problem without guessing (at best) or fleecing me (at worst).

Response from Good Electric
Dear [Member Name Removed] I believe there was a electrical terms misunderstanding. We charge a maximum of $197 to troubleshoot a circuit no matter how many receptacles are on the circuit or how long it takes. If we are able to easily identify the problem we only charge a percentage of the $197. Some how you understood we were charging by the receptacle, not the entire circuit. I apologize for any part we played in this misunderstanding. Our customers are very important to us, We have been in business for 34 year and charging fairly has been an important part of our success and longevity. We usually receive A or B ratings for our pricing. We are also an accredited member of the BBB with their highest rating (A+) and have received Angie's List Super Service Award for each of the 10 years we have been rated by them. Thank you for your business and we hope we can work with you again. Sincerely, Larry Good, Good Electric.

The workers were very professional and knowledgeable. Overall a very good job. The only issue was the estimate. They lost the estimate and we had an issue finding ours. When they rewrote the estimate it was more. We did find the original estimate which was $900 less. Turned out that there were changes made that required additional work but had they not lost the estimate in the beginning it would have never been an issue if additional work was added.

In general things went pretty well. The fan works beautifully and the lights I adore, they work when I turn them on! But I had medallions that I wanted them to install and showed them when they gave me the estimate. When they came out for the installation, however, they said the screws were too short and didn't install them for me. I went and bought the screws for about $2 but they wouldn't come back and install them. I consider that less than an Angie's A rating.
Description of Work: I asked them out to install two outlets in my garage, and to install 5 light fixtures and a ceiling fan.

Thank you for you feedback. We are surprised to hear about your dissatisfaction. Before we installed the fixtures and fan you provided we showed you why the medallions you provided were incompatible with the fan and the light fixtures. You acknowledged that you understood and approved the installation without the medallions. Upon completion of the job you were pleased with the installation and acknowledged your satisfaction in writing. We would have been glad to install longer screws if that would have worked. In addition, using those particular medallions would have been a code violation and a fire hazard. I hope this clears up the misunderstanding. If you can find some medallions that are compatible and safe we will work with you on getting the medallions installed at a discounted price. Thank you for the high marks you gave us in most areas except overall.
