Daniel was fast, efficient, and very friendly. ?He paid extra attention to installing the motion light and kept tinkering with it until it was just right.
Description of Work: Replaced three light fixtures. One of the replacements involved installing an external motion light.

It did not go...I saw this as a rip off.
Description of Work: The provider said the $200 worth of electrician service would only last about 15 minutes. I decided to "eat" the $99.00 and have a more reasonable shop do the work.

Response from Murphy Family Electric
Actually, the deal you purchased would have covered the first 30 minutes of service, saving you $100 off what we normally charge. As your purchase was well over a year ago (the work was ultimately scheduled for 11/26/2014), I must admit some curiosity as to why it took you so long to write a review. Additionally, my research indicates you cancelled the appointment you set up for the 17th that morning, and rescheduled for the 26th. Why did you schedule (and then reschedule) if you weren't happy with how we charge, or with how the deal worked, a process you clearly didn't fully understand? We have a great rating on Angie's for a reason, our exemplary customer service. It's unfortunate you didn't take advantage of our services, and the savings offered through the deal. We hope the company you found did a great job for you. Please have a great day.

It is still something we have to deal with. We have three lights that hang in our kitchen and they said that something was basically heated up in the socket and the socket doesn't work and I asked them if they could fix the socket that's in the ceiling but they said no. So they couldn't come back or they couldn't get it, so I never got the job completed. So I don't know whether it was something they didn't want to finish doing. All I know is that I have three hanging lights and one of them in the kitchen. I was just left with the broken lights still and i would have been glad if they could have ordered it or completed the job but they weren't able to. They said that the socket that's in the ceiling hanging the pendant light is damaged, so they are saying that the whole light is damaged. So they're saying you have to get a whole new fixture. They tried to do what they could.
Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal for Murphy Family Services for electrical services.

Thanks for the great review, and the feedback. My apologies again for the delay in getting back to you. Occasionally our voicemail system drops calls, or calls are broken and distorted, making it difficult to hear the caller. I offer that as an explanation, not as an excuse, and I thank you for your patience. I'm glad we were ultimately able to complete the work above and beyond your standards.

The buyer of my condo had hired an inspector who wanted to prove his worth by recommending that I have all GFCI outlets certified by a licensed electrician. Murphy electric came out and certified that the GFCI outlets were up to code and working properly. The electrician also replaced a burned out balcony light bulb. Murphy then provided a statement certifying the system.
Description of Work: Angies Big Deal was applied to replace balcony light bulb, and to verify that 1 exterior & 2 interior GFCI outlets were working properly. Murphy technician completed all work assigned. All issues were either inspected with no negative findings, or resolved.

I think it worked out well. My husband dealt with the electrician but he had identified the problem and fixed it. I didn't dislike anything. The work was great. The interactions with them went well.
Description of Work: I purchased a big deal for Murphy Family Services. We had some problem with one of the switches in the house. My husband had done some painting and had switched some switches around in some of the bedrooms and so we were having some problems with it. He wanted to get a licensed electrician to come in and take a look.

Dustin Taulton with Murphy Services did both my estimate and the actual work at my home -- his estimate came in way under other companies, and the work itself didn't take long at all. It's been a month now, and the unit works great. Dustin was responsive and helpful, and I'd use his company again. Make sure to book well in advance, as it can take a while to schedule in the colder months.

They have been really good. I was a little annoyed recently because they didn't tell me that they were going to cut a big hole on my dry wall. Quality of service was an A because what they installed works well. They cut a big hole on my dry wall without telling me and they left a bit of a mess.

Erik arrived on time and went right to work. I had purchased several different lights and he helped select the correct one to use. He was efficient and completed the job fast even though he injured his finger. The lights were installed properly and he left my closet very clean. I would definitely use them again and would recommend them to my friends and family.
Description of Work: Replaced original lights in the closet with two recessed lights.

The coupon for Murphy Family Electric said $99 for $200 value in parts and labor. They were called to install an exhaust fan in the bathroom. We provided the exhaust fan ($45). The electrician didn't want to install it because it was not the exact size as the previous one, being off by less than an inch. Electrician could have used it and made adjustments to the hole in the ceiling. But he didn't want to do that. So he went to Home Depot and purchased an $11 fan, installed that and charged us an additional $60 for labor. So it ended up costing us $204 to install an $11 fan (that may not last long) = $159 for electrician and $45 for unused exhaust fan (that is now non-returnable), or $105 more than the $99 coupon

Well, it done . . . that's all.
Description of Work: Changed the electric socket and put up an electric fire alarm. My reason for my rating is because the socket which is still too loose for the gas fire place. I still have to wiggle it to turn on the fire place. I think the price was too high.
