I was not very impressed with the service. After I bought the deal I was supposed to hear from them within three days. I had to call them several times and it was over a month before they returned my call. They said it was because it was Christmas and something was happening in the family or something. He did not check all of the outlets, which was part of the deal. He told me that because I had purchased the house in the last year or two that the home inspector should have done that so he was not going to do that. That was listed in the deal, that they were going to check all the outlets. I believe he came early and did not call to let me know he was coming early.
Description of Work: I bought a $39 Angie's List deal for kind of a house general electrical inspection.

Provided did no work. Purchased one of the specials of the day. Never heard back from this company. Eventually I called Angie's List customer service and got a refund to apply towards a different company.

It was good. I was happy and he did a lot of work. They were prompt. I asked him for estimates for some other work and I felt that it was high so I didn't go with that. But as far as the big deal went; it was good.

It was alright. He got the job done in about one hour and 15 minutes. He went about doing his work and was very cordial. The scheduling was very easy.

The service went fine. They were very responsive and easy to schedule. I had them install some lighting and install a new wall outlet from a 2 to 3 prong. One technician came out for the job and completed the service in about 2 hours. He did a superb job and everything works very nicely.

Provider explained why my GFIC outlet had burned out - a water softener had been put on the same circuit and caused it to flip. He replaced it with a regular one. I have had no further problems. The provider was a brand new business and professionalism was somewhat lacking. He did not have receipts and requested that I pay by check because he didn't want to pay the credit card transaction fees.

I had left several voice mails for over the course of months and could never get a return call. Today I received a return call and was told they would not honor the Big Deal purchase to ask A.L. for a refund. So I am requesting a refund since I received nothing in return for my money Thank you, Christine Tharp.

When the light went out over my garage, I thought it was just the bulb, but because it was mounted so high I couldn't get to it even with my 10' ladder. When the electricians came and looked at it they told me that the whole fixture needed to be replaced. They asked if I had the replacement fixture and I told them no, that I didn't know I needed to replace the fixture. They were nice enough to go to Lowes, find a comparable fixture, install it, all for the $99 deal. Of course I reimbursed them for the cost of the fixture. The fixture they chose was brighter, had a wider angle so more of my lot was illuminated and used less electricity. They also left the work area clean. They exceeded my expectations!

He walked around and looked at my outlets and mentioned the house was old. I feel like he didn’t do a very thorough inspection. He was here for less than 30 minutes. He didn’t even make it up into my attic to check up there either. Neither didn’t he look at the breaker box thoroughly either. My fiance then asked him if he would walk me through what I could do to connect some wiring and charged us $60.00. He did also have to come back to fix a wiring that he connected that stopped working after he left.

Gave me exact reason why my lights were not working in my outside office sign . He told me I had to get electricians that specialize in commercial signs BUT he told what was wrong and how much the sign co. would charge $800. He was nice enough to tell all I had to do was to change the 2 ballasts and light bulbs . So I did it myself and parts were $200 and saved $600 . I would trust this electrician for any other work

The job never happened. I was told they were too busy.
Description of Work: I called twice and each time I was told they were too busy.. I gave up. I had to make up a date under "Approximate date of service" or "Contact" as no service was provided and now I can't remember the days of contact. It was sometime in February 2014.

I purchased the service but did not hear back from him to schedule the appointment for about a month. He was due to be at my house by 10:00 and did not arrive on time. He was professional and checked out my GFC plugs. He determined that the main plug in the garage needed to be replaced. He left but came back that afternoon to replace the plug.
