They did not find or even really look for the issue with the light fixture. They asked to check on many other things which were unrelated (since other lights on the same switch worked, there was no possibility of an issue with my main board or smoke detectors or other outlets, all of which they checked). My sense is they charge $69 to come in look all over to sell more services, rather than fixing the problem or doing work for the money paid. They have laminated marketing materials stating that a real diagnosis (not fixing) of a problem will cost between $300 and $700 or more, rather than the $69 quoted over the phone.

I had an outlet that quit working which also caused the entire great room to not have electricity. The company responded promptly and had a person out within days. The guy came identified the problem and had it fixed in roughly an hour. No problems since.

I recently had a variety of electrical work done by Juan at Absolute Electric. I could not be happier with the service I received. The company was extremely efficient in all aspects of our interactions. During the job, some unexpected issues arose and Juan walked us through our options so that they could be addressed to our satisfaction. Some of the solutions actually saved us money when he could have upcharged us. I would happily recommend them to anyone.

Just had an attic fan installed. They were very professional and on time. Work was done fairly quickly, from a non-electrician point of view, but done right and clean. I would absolutely recommend and will get more work done by them

Had flickering overhead lights in the family room. Ryan quickly and correctly determined that it was the dimmer switch which he replaced. He also replaced another broken dimmer switch in the kitchen. He was friendly and worked fast and efficiently.

Excellent. Rob Smith came to the house within a few days of my calling & provided an estimate. The work was scheduled for the following week (including a permit from Fairfax County). The team arrived right on time, 8am (Rob Smith was the crew lead, so it was nice to have the same person who provided the estimate come out and do the work), and work hard. The finished the project (including 2 virtual inspections with Fairfax Co.) by 3pm. Very happy with the work. I would hire again.

Company thought it made sense to file an investigation with the Sheriff's Office when THEY noted my debit card information incorrectly. How a company would take such a drastic step against a customer instead of asking for the full card information again is beyond me (we were in full communication with them throughout). Extremely unprofessional, unnecessary, and unheard of...

You forgot to mention that you paid the original invoice with a check from a CLOSED checking account. And then you gave us debit card info that was declined. And then you refused to answer or return our phone calls. Your cyber-bullying is just as bad as the felony you committed.03/16/2021

This company is absolutely amazing. If I could give them a 10 star rating out of 5, I would. They were courteous, on time, and just outstanding all around. They came out to give us a quote and ended up completing the job right then and there. The amount they charged us was the exact number, to the penny that they quoted us. They are very reputable and we will be writing them a review on every site we are a member of.

After submitting a request for quote on Angie's list. Spoke to a friendly gentleman named Mike called me within the hour. He informed me that they needed to come in person and do an estimate, and that the estimate would be $39 and would be applied as a credit if I accepted their quote. I refused, and we politely "parted ways." I can totally appreciate that merchants may not want to do estimates left and right. Still, I wish merchants which require paid estimates would state so in their Angie's list listings description.

Absolute Electric reached out to me the day after I requested a quote, and scheduled someone to come over the next week (based on my availability). Two days before the appointment, they emailed me to confirm, which I appreciated. Cliff came over and looked at all my outlets and grounded and protected them as needed. There were a few tricky situations, which he talked over with me and made recommendations for solving. He also replaced my garbage disposal outlet and fixed the placement of my fuse panel (it was set back too far). All in all, he was professional, friendly, and efficient. I appreciated his hard work and positive attitude.

Superb, as always. Electrician suggested an inexpensive fix to the electrical box (instead of replacing it) and found a GFCI switch in the garage behind shelves (which I did not know existed) that had tripped. If all service providers were this good, Angie's list would not exist!

The two young men were fantastic!! They worked to complete the job perfectly and quickly, though it was a BIG job. I was stressed throughout the day because we have a family wedding day after tomorrow and the young men were so kind and thoughtful. They reassured me that all debris would be cleaned and it was. They left the house spotless. A++++

Rob at Absolute Electric was awesome! The workmanship is of the highest quality. I'm amazed at the minimal ceiling patchwork after installation of recessed lighting in 2 rooms! Ceiling drywall damage was my biggest concern, and we were left with only a few little spots that need to be repaired! Amazing! I would not hesitate to use Absolute Electric in the future. The price, communication, and workmanship all exceeded my expectations!
