Electrical Installation & Repair Inc

I called and left a message that I wanted a price for the work.  My call was returned the same day and he visited my house the same week to see what was needed.  We agreed on a price and scheduled the work to be done the next week.  He arrived on time, did a great job and cleaned up after himself.  I couldn't ask for more. 

He also priced running electricity to my pergola and installing some motion sensor lights in the yard but I couldn't afford to have that work done now but may have it done later.  I will use this electrician again.

I think they were on Angie's List.  They've done well and I would recommend them.  I went with them because I knew them previously and they were recommended.  He's good all the way through.

All went very well

Excellent quick

Perfect, couldn't give a higher rating. Best electrician I have EVER had

Over all I think it went well. I understood when the switches were replaced that it might or might not be the problem. Overall felt like Mr. Tipton did a good job and the price was okay. I would use him again to fix an electrical problem because I felt that he was honest, responded quickly and followed through on identifying the problem and fixing it.

I called Troy based on his excellent reviews on Angie's List.  He gave me a quote of $450.00 over the phone which was right in the ballpark with other quotes I got.  He arrived promptly and went right to work.  Because my floors are wood-laminate there was no room for error.  He took very careful measurements of where the outlets would go then headed under the house to review the location of floor joists to see what accommodations would be needed.
He was very precise in his cutting and spent quite a bit of time making sure the outlets  would be perfectly flush with the floor and positioned perfectly.  After all the wiring was completed, he positioned the power recliners, plugged them in and tested everything.
When all was complete he vacuumed up the little bit of sawdust that was left.
I was very pleased with Troy's work and would recommend him highly.  As a bonus, his original estimate was right on the money.

Excellent.  On Time.  Courteous. Knowledgable.  We will hire him again.

My spouse surprised me with an upgrade of my poorly-lit sewing room. It should be said that my sewing room is the bonus room at the top of the house. That means there are 3' high knee walls on each side and a sloped ceiling components that terminate in a long,narrow band of flat ceiling the length of the room.  The incandescent lighting simply added to the heat generated by my sewing machines - torture in the warm months!  We'd also heard from Troy that he had found some whole-house surge protection that he approved of so that, too, was on our laundry list. I also wanted to get the service panel cleaned up and correctly labeled now that all the large projects were done.
After Troy stopped by and looked over the job, I took his recommendations and went light fixture shopping.  I was especially taken with a small, articulated 3-head LED fixture that could be mounted on the sloped ceiling over my sewing table.

That LED fixture is now cleanly mounted over my sewing table and has a switch on the wall below it. Two fluorescent fixtures are in place on the ceiling. The electrical panel in the garage has a glowing green light that indicates the whole-house surge protection is functioning as it should and the electrical panel is organized and labeled.

Troy was very prompt in providing an initial quote, courteous, and his price was better than several other companies.  Work also began promptly.
This was a very difficult and frustrating project, for me and Troy.  It turns out he didn't know some of the problems/limitations of the Core Power generator, so what we had discussed in detail prior to me ordering the unit turned out to be somewhat inaccurate. 
Several appliances (microwave and toaster oven) which he said would be usable on the generator turned out to be a problem, and I had to have them removed from the load.
A large, built-in cabinet below where he installed the breaker panel had to be removed (per the inspector), though Troy did not know of this in advance and so was unable to tell me about this.  Once the cabinet was removed, unfinished walls and asbestos floor tiles are now exposed and will require add'l work/money to address.
As the weeks went by on this project, his electrical work failed inspections at least 4 times, causing delays, frustration for me and Troy.  The more failed inspections, the harder it was for me to get Troy back out to continue working on the project because he had numerous other jobs at the same time.  Finally, an approved inspection occurred on 9/18/12, yet the system was still not functional for me because it was causing pulsing power surges that had the potential to damage my home-based business computer.  Troy researched that, and eventually he purchased a power conditioner at no additional cost to me. He installed this on 10/5/12 and the job was finally completed.
The generator goes through it's test cycle once a week, but I've not had a power outage yet to say whether the system will actually work as described.
Very much to Troy's credit, he never tried to blame errors on anyone else, he didn't charge me more money than was originally quoted, and he did the right thing by buying the power conditioner to protect my computer.

Troy was terrific -- we had a number of minor issues, some of which seemed to be electrical.  He identified and fixed the problems that were, explained what was happening with the others, and left me feeling confident.  I will definitely use him in the future!

This was not a large job -- just some punch list items from an inspection -- but Troy came on time, did a good job, was both professional and pleasant.  I'd use him again.

I recommend hiring Troy.  He is very professional and punctual.  He also maintains a clean work environment and has great communication.  For example, when he was running late from another project by 15 minutes, he called in advance.

Fast and effieient and wonderful.

Six days with no power and appliances full of spoiled food in the wake of Hurricane Irene moved my husband to announce our need for a whole-house generator.

We knew it would be a large undertaking. As with all things electrical, we brought Troy in to help us formulate a solution. He assessed our household needs, recommended a 17Kw Generac unit from electricgeneratorsdirect.com and provided us with a quote for an installation to include the  permit and calling for inspection. Several days later,  Troy alerted us to a 30-day backorder for the 17Kw unit on the supplier?s website so we upgraded to the 20Kw unit that could ship immediately.

I inspected the generator when it arrived at the local freight yard on a Thursday afternoon then met Troy there the following morning to bring it home. The 480+ pound solidly-packaged generator was loaded in to the back of Troy?s truck by a freight yard forklift operator ? then gently transferred from the truck to the generator pad behind our house with Troy?s lift system. 

Troy arrived at 8 a.m. Monday to begin pulling wire, mounting boxes and accomplishing all the prep work possible in order to minimize the power outage necessary to make the connections in the panel.  His cabling is a thing of beauty ? always meticulous and organized. While he was working in the service panel, he also found the cause of our "dancing light syndrome" (a slow but consistent flicker of the interior lights) and corrected that problem. He arranged his tasks so as to be clear of the areas where the gas plumbers would be working to install piping and connect the natural gas supply line to the generator. 

Once all the gas and electrical connections were made, Troy programmed the unit?s control console and brought the generator to life, demonstrating what we would hear/see/experience when the primary power failed and the generator took over ? and how the generator would respond once primary power was restored.  We turned on everything in the house that would load the generator in order for Troy to measure the amp load and declare it satisfactory. Troy will also be rendering any necessary service to the generator going forward.

Where there once was a contractor-grade light fixture in our dim little laundry room there is now a very nice 4-tube fluorescent light Troy recommended that makes it possible to (as Troy expresses it)  "tell navy from black."

As always, Troy did a beautiful restoration job on the wall where the service panel is mounted. He never leaves a mess and his work is always detailed and thoughtful.   Troy is our go-to electrician because he?s talented, personal, reliable and a (pardon the pun) well-grounded human being. We were incredibly fortunate to have found him!

see above. I had questions, and an area that was difficult to get to as well as plaster walls. The finished work looks excellant. The lighting is improved and concealed. The areas were left in spotless condition. It was great to find someone who was patient with a smaller job and very flexible.

He showed up exactly when he said. The work took a little longer than he thought but not as long as I thought. About a day and a half. He was prepared with everything he needed to do the job. He consulted with me regularly to be sure he was doing exactly what I was expecting. He made recommendations on the floor outlet that I was pleased with. The outlet box he put on the side of my house was perfect with my vinyl siding. Looks like it has always been there. He took great care with my pond and the landscaping to have as little impact as possible. He did a nice job repairing the wall in the kitchen. The floor outlet is perfect. Exactly what I wanted and where I wanted it. You don't want just anyone drilling a huge hole in your hardwood floors.  My crawl space is only about a foot and a half high. Terrible to work in. He spent a lot of time under there and never complained. He tightened up a loose outlet box he saw and fixed a cable I cut digging a hole. He is professional and did what I asked for, recommended improvements in the plan when he saw them. Very knowledgeable in residential electrical work. He billed me the estimate exactly. I will definitely use him again. I recommend highly. So high, I sent him next door to my neighbor to do some work when he finished with me.

One of the best service calls I have ever experienced. I knew what was being diagnosed, why, the results and consulted on corrective action when different courses of action could be followed. Different courses of action were explained with pluses and minuses for each so that an informed decsion could be made.

Excellent workmanship. Excellent communication. Excellent turnaround on job. Troy showed up when he said he would, cleaned up after himself, and asked appropriate questions regarding the job. He is honest and hard working. We will use him again on future projects.

Troy arrived at exactly the time he said he would as he returned for a repeat performance in our ongoing campaign to update our home. More contractor-grade lights fixtures have been replaced with tasteful new ones in my quest to banish all brass that came with the house when we bought it. There is now a flat screen TV mounted securely on the wall in the kitchen - complete with meticulously-organized cabling. Troy's guidance gives us the ability to formulate clear solutions to some lighting and electrical challenges and we will be calling him back soon to put those solutions into place.

I'm so pleased that I just can't stop bragging on this talented individual. Several times I've opened the pantry doors just to hit the switch and admire the now-bright interior. Troy is easy to work with, calls/shows up when he says he will and has a knack for turning "electrical" into "English" - a blessing when I'm trying to communicate to him what I'd like to see accomplished. Troy will be returning to take care of several more projects as we settle into our new home. He is officially our "speed-dial" electrician and will be the one we call going forward.

His name is Troy Tipton and he is a master electrician. I have been very impressed with him. He is a very nice person as well as an excellent electrician. He is able to think through problems and get back to you with an effective as well as cost effective solution.
