Description of Work: Switched out two outdoor lights and created an outlet in the island from an existing wire. A too long screw was used so there is a small hole in the island wall. We bought a Big Deal. Additional costs were $172 after the big deal.

Description of Work: The deal sounded great, but when I called it turned out I was basically buying 15 minutes of service when you counted all of their add on fees. Definitely disappointing and I would never use this company in the future.
Rating CategoryRating out of 5

Response from Murphy Family Electric
Your pricing in your review is incorrect and misguiding. We do not have to cover the gas, travel, and van parts for our customers, but with the deal you speak of, I as the owner continue to offer it and save Angie's members $101. We may be removing it soon because of misunderstanding like this. Sean Murphy Murphy Family Electric 855-463-3368 ‘Your Family’s Electrician' www.murphyfamilyelectric.com

Description of Work: This company scheduled a morning appointment with me for Sept. 2. On the day of the appointment, the service man phoned to let me know he would be unable to come because the tags on the company truck were expired. He told me the company would call to reschedule. I have never heard a word from them, either to re-schedule or to apologize. They probably do good work, but I'll find someone else.

Response from Murphy Family Electric
I am terribly sorry regarding this. We had to do the tags that morning for the vans, as we couldn't legally drive them without them. We will call you first thing this morning, we did not realize you had not been contacted. You do have our contact info.

Thanks for you feedback. We are working tirelessly to find ways to be more and more competitive. You did get quite a few lights installed between 6-7 recessed. Remember much of the associated costs are the gas, travel, and parts, but we wave most of these costs with the deal you got.

Description of Work: Had a overloaded/sparking junction box beneath the sink - previous owner wired the sink disposal and the dishwasher on the same 20A (15A? not sure) wire, which smoked/sparked when both were used concurrently. He fixed the wire and recommended a new circuit for the dishwasher, but that was out of our budget at the time. He recommended to not use the sink disposal and dishwasher concurrently to mitigate the risk, but stressed that a new circuit needed to be run once we remodel. He was on time, courteous and efficient. I would hire them again.

Excellent. Kitchen appliances require dedicated circuits and this is a common problem we run into. Often customers will request a quick fix, just to get it working. Go the extra mile and have it done right and you will save in the long run, and not have a continually tripping circuit. - Sean Murphy

Wow, that's great! You got an experienced, licensed and insured electrician, with a stocked truck to your home to fix a couple electrical issues for $99. Is a 'B' overall and for price appropriate? I understand your attic fan wasn't working, does this need to be replaced? We would be happy to do this for you.
