They were here promptly at 7 in the morning. They also rewired one of the points so that they would all work together and redid an electric tube. We had an island that had to be removed. They undid that and reconnected it yesterday. It was a big job and they did an excellent job in a timely manner. Their price was a little high but we got a $100 discount. There were two or three people that had come out. I liked the quality of their work and their professionalism. We are very happy with all the three people that came out. We will be using them again.

They were right on time, very professional. They cleaned up after themselves and you would not have even known they were there. The drywall had to be cut into and patched up on a couple of spots in the living room but they did a very good patch job that will just require a bit of paint. Overall I would highly recommend this firm.

Great! Dave came out on a couple occasions to plan the effort and explained everything in great detail. We had originally planned an installation location that was good but would require some cabling on the exterior of the house. On the day of the installation he looked a little harder at the installation plan and found a way to get the cabling through the basement ceiling and keep all the cabling out of site. The installation and test took about 4-6 hours and went without a hitch. He followed up a couple weeks after to make sure everything was still working fine - and it is. The unit works like a champ and I'm very happy with the job. Would highly recommend Dave Hensel Electric. He advised me on the right equipment, coordinated the work with the plumber and crew, did an outstanding job on the installation, explained how to operate and test the unit, and followed up afterwards to make sure I was happy. Great job!

I called on Aug. 24 and spoke with a woman about setting up an estimate for running a new cable TV line into the home and checking wiring on a ceiling light, and told her I was hoping to do it on Fri. Sept. 3 (more than a week and a half away). She took all the information, address-phone number-description of project, and told me she would call me back. As of Sept. 8 I still have not been called back.

Dave and his crew showed up on time and three men finished the work in a few hours. To save me money, he replaced only the components of the fan/heater and not the housing in my ceiling.

I had an outlet quit working and was worried that it was a safety problem. I called and they sent someone the day I called. He traced the outlet problem to another spot in the wiring and fixed it. While there, I asked him to check a bad ceiling fan. He found a bad switch and replaced it. He inspected some DIY wiring in the garage and said it was not safe. He remedied that. Total time at my house was about 2.5 hours. Technician seemed competent and worked at a good pace. I do not know if the price was good or not; it didn't seem unreasonable given the amount of time he was there.

They were very punctual and professional, told us how much it would cost. The price was very reasonable and they went ahead. They did an excellent job and we are very pleased with the result. This is the second time we have used them and would definitely use them again. We recommend them highly.

They came on time as arranged, had all necessary equipment, including a 16' ladder, to do the work. They worked straight through with minimal breaks and were finished within 7.5 hours. They laid down plastic sheets everywhere they worked and carefully cleaned up each area when they finished. Nice people, very respectful, fully professional and hard working.

On Monday while outside I noticed excessive noise which I thought was coming from our AC unit. Later that evening with the help of a neighbor it was determined the AC was fine but our attic fan was really starting to make a racket. I called first thing Tuesday morning and an appointment was set up for Saturday. On Wednesday we received a call that there was a cancelation for Thursday between 9 - 11am. We said "YES". The noise had been getting progressively louder and Wednesday evening there was a very loud thump and the attic fan motor completely stopped. Rick arrived shortly after 9am and went up to take a look. Somehow the blades had slipped and jammed into the motor burning it out. A new fan arrived within 30 minutes and was installed within the hour. It is again quiet in our house - not like the inside of a jet engine.

Dave was able to give me an estimate over the phone that was very reasonable, and also scheduled an electrician to come out the same day I called to give a more detailed estimate (which ended up being the same since there were no surprises for them). The electrician also gave me very good tips on what type of equipment to get (Hunter fans and Lutron switches). I was then able to schedule the appointment for a week later. They showed up promptly on time and worked very efficiently, they actually ended up being $40 under the estimate they quoted me. Very pleased with their work, we will be using them for future work, most likely replacing the lighting and bath fans in our bathrooms when we remodel them.

I got a quote over the phone, and they were very responsive in booking an appointment. They showed up right on time, and finished the job in less time than they had estimated. They cleaned up the mess made by cutting holes in the ceiling, etc., and took care not to cause any damage. They even installed a neat dimmer/fan control on my light switch to make it easier to work the fans! They also recommended some additional work that might help keep my home cooler, and gave me a quote on the spot. I will definitely use them next time I have any electrical work to be done -- great job!

We received multiple quotes from top rated companies (as shown on Angie's List). We selected this provider based on price and overall comfort-level with Dave as he explained the work to be done when we met with him for the free quote. The one stumbling block we encountered in this process was trying to get in touch with the office to get on the schedule. It took a few days to reach Dave but once we did, he quickly got us on the schedule. We later learned his normal staff had been ill and thus, response time to set-up appointments was slow...can't fault someone for that and I only mention it, because in the end, I'm happy we were patient and contracted with Dave for the work. The day of the job, two technicians showed up, reviewed the work to be done, and quickly and professionally set about their business. In just a few hours, our burnt-out light/wiring was replaced and working again, as well as we had four new ceiling fans installed through-out the house...in rooms that previously did not have any wiring for such fixtures. The crew did a great job of cleaning up, and now, just moments after they have left, you'd never know anyone had been doing work in our house today. I am comfortable and confident with the work that was performed and plan to use Dave Hensel's in the future for other projects we have planned.

It went exceedingly well. Dave Hensel is the consummate professional. He showed up with one of his employees and they went right to work. When he came by to do the estimate, he talked to my Father in law who is like a master contractor and he made my Father in law feel at ease. No small feat. We actually got several estimates but Dave's proposal showed that he listened to us and took us seriously and that is why we accepted his bid. I will definitely be calling him again in the future to do more work. Moreover the work actually cost $1500.00 dollars but the $100.00 discount from mentioning Angie's List reduced the bill to $1400.00. Awesome right!!?? Yeahh!!

Provided estimate the same day I called and performed the work the next day. Answered questions willingly on possible alternative wire routing and cosmetic issues. Fan wall switch I had purchased did not work and they quickly installed a normal on/off wall switch and offered to come back and install a new fan switch or fan remote if I wanted to purchase another. I did and they returned the day after I called to install it - no extra charge. It was a pleasnt surprise to get this level of timiliness and consideration.

These guys were great! Sent email for initial contact on weekend. Received call from office Tuesday to setup appointment later in day. Keen showed up and went over desired locations of outlets, etc. and work involved. Gave me an estimate which I felt was quite resonable with caveats if plaster work was needed. Then asked if I wanted it done today. About fell on the floor! Figured it would be just an estmate and a scheduled day for work. Needless to say, I was thrilled and Keen went work and later joined by Dave knocking out the job in about 2 hours. Also cleaned up completely afterwards. All in all a great experience, Thanks to Angie's List for steering me to them.

They did a great job! They even charged less than their estimate because it was easier than they thought it would be. We found this cool switch that we weren't sure would work based on the other switches in the room and they even got all of that working together. I would definitely use him again.

They sent Will, who was terrific. He hung the lights and had to reinforce the spaces to do so. He replaced bulbs outside and explained why they didn't work well in the locations and fixtures we had. He repaired a broken bulb housing in a spotlight. He also put in new switches and found one problem that was potentially dangerous - the flickering lights in the office were a switch problem. We're ordering under-cabinet lighting from them and bringing them back to do more work that will just enhance the house. What we spent was a very good value for the work he did, the time he spent, and the education he offered in making things work better. Love these people!

He was fantastic. Our kitchen remodel would have been sub standard if it weren't for all of the things he did that we wanted. He did lighting in our kitchen, breakfast area and family room. Most of them were canned and 3 or 4 of them were spotlights. When he was here he had 2-4 guys working and several visits here. They were very, very good. I had my doubts before we started the project knowing I was going to spend over $6,000 on electrical work, but when it was done I had a completely opposite view. I realized then with everything they did how involved it was going behind the walls and getting down to the electrical box, etc. He was first class.

Electrician Keane arrived right on time Monday morning. He was most professional and efficient throughout the time he was working on our job. After checking the new light fixture and the wiring in our kitchen, Keane gave us three ways to install the new light, at varying cost estimates. He was able to avoid plaster work and still give me an on-off switch on the light by modifying the light fixture itself...a less expensive choice and a great job!! Besides installing the three other new light fixtures, Keane also installed two new outlet boxes and replaced the central kitchen ceiling light fixture. So, all our desired electrical work was done in that one visit, and at a very reasonable cost!!! The online 10% discount to Angie's List members further decreased our cost! We were most satisfied with the quality, timeliness, and cost of this job and will certainly call on Dave Hensel Electric for any future electric work!

Mr. Hensel arrived on time, was very professional and competent. Showed me what the problem was and then fixed it. He had given me over the phone prior to his visit what his charges were. I was very happy with the service and would not hesitate to use him again and would highly recommend him. His price was very reasonable compared to what I have paid before for services that left much to be desired. He came within 24-hours of my call. It was not an emergency call. In the past few years I have been reluctant to call electricians as they have charged a lot for little work and I always felt I was being taken. Mr. Hensel was a refreshing change.
