Our outside landscape lights were not working.Steve came and got them working and instead of needing to replace fixtures he figured out a way to fix tops of broken lights. I could not be more pleased with the service the professionalism. This is the type of company you want to support and under promises and over delivers. Exceptional and refreshing.

The electrician arrived promptly and looked the situation over. I think he knew what the problem was, but had to determine where it was. Turns out, it was a loose common wire in a completely different receptacle. He spent an hour troubleshooting and when he repaired it, he cleaned up after me... I'd pulled several plates off and had a few of the receptacles pulled out. I'm super happy with the service and especially the price. I'll recommend PK Electric to my friends and neighbors.
Description of Work: My wife's hairdryer overloaded the circuit... I assumed it was a breaker, but it wasn't. The symptoms were strange; half power to some lights, too much to others, and none to some. I spent a day trying to figure it out only to become more and more confused.

Excellent! Accurate diagnosis of the problem, quick fix and the cheapest quote! They were amazing throughout the whole process, please get a quote from them if you have an electrical job! I could not have had a better experience from start to finish. I spoke with Scott at the main office initially and told him about wanting to get an extra outlet installed and troubleshoot and burning smell behind my thermostat. He gave me a quote for the troubleshoot and the outlet installation. His quote was about 10% less than the next lowest competitor. After we initially talked, I realized that I forgot to mention that the thermostat was programmable and I would like it replaced with one that would have similar features. Scott called me back to discuss this and we realized that it was cheaper for me to order one through Amazon instead of having his company buy the same thing. So I ordered it and he was flexible enough to move my appointment back until after it arrived. So, Eugene arrived at my place exactly on time. He was very courteous and answered all my questions. He was very thorough and took apart the whole heating circuit from the thermostat to both connected heaters and correctly diagnosed the problem as faulty wiring behind the thermostat. He quickly replaced the burned out one with the newly purchased model. He cleaned both the heaters and put them back together and he did a test to make sure that the circuit was functioning properly. 2 weeks out, it continues to work beautifully. Next, he tackled the outlet installation. I initially thought it would be easy because there appeared to be some wiring in the crawlspace. However, Eugene noted that the circuit was not live. There was a conduit from an outlet down to the crawlspace. It would have been technically easiest to use this conduit and run another one up to the new outlet. However, this would put a lot of high wattage appliances on the same circuit. At this point, I expressed my preference that we use another outlet to feed the new outlet. Eugene was very willing to try even though it meant more work for him. I really appreciated his response to my input and the work was completed quickly. He even gave me some advice on how to do this myself in the future. At the end of the appointment, he told me to expect an invoice in the mail. I just received the invoice and it is exactly for the quoted amount. I am so happy when a business is able to give a quote over the phone, honor it and complete the work professionally and in a timely manner. It is a huge bonus when they take your preferences into account and when they take the time to explain what they are doing and answer your questions while they are working. I would definitely recommend this company for all your electrical needs and they will be my first choice if I am in need of further electrical work.

EXCELLENT! Service was thorough and efficient. Eugene would explain findings and answer my questions as he did the work.
Description of Work: I needed some troubleshooting of wiring for electrical baseboard heaters/thermostat in my duplex - All of the heaters are 240V electric, brand new, but did not work when hooked up! Eugene was VERY prompt (to the minute) to the appointment and managed to find the circuit breaker wiring hookups were incorrectly tied to a single phase (giving only 120V); and a two phase wire circuit arrangement was needed to give 240V. The duplex was built in the sixties, and the circuit breaker panel had other circuits "ganged" to other breakers, making room for more circuits. To make a long story short, Eugene got my heaters to work, installed a new CB in the panel and re-arranged some of the "ganged" circuits to distribute the loads more evenly to the remaining circuit breakers in the panel. Extremely pleased with PK Electric in every aspect of service....would DEFINITELY be the first company I call in the future!

They are very professional and when I called about the circuit breaker they came out quickly as there was a employee from this service provider at my home the day before and something happened to it. They were very apologetic and resolved the issue. I will need them again and hire them again in the future.
Description of Work: We have used them a number of times. They went around and fixed motion lights and repaired things that I could not fix. I have had them here every year in my home and have been here for four years. They had to replace a circuit breaker as well. They put in a lot of GFI's.

Easy to book but hard to find out how much things will cost. . Pleasant electrician showed up on time for the first visit. Took one hour to fix a loose wire in a recessed ceiling light and to remove inoperative motor from an attic fan. The electrician said he would take the motor to the shop to diagnose the problem and get back to us about the best solution. The electrician left me with an nice outline of the work he had done and the time it took. After not hearing from PK for several days, I called several times and finally got hold of the right person who said that PK had already ordered a replacement motor and they would call me when it was in. I had to ask how much the motor would cost. Several days later PK called me and scheduled a visit to install the new motor. The same electrician called to let me know he would be late and when we might expect him. After he arrived, I was surprised by how long he spent in the attic replacing the motor. It had only taken a few minutes to remove it. When I asked what took so long, the electrician said he had to disassemble the motor assembly that he had arrived with before he could install the motor in the the existing assembly. The electrician then took off saying that the office would figure out the bill and invoice me. He left no paperwork outlining his work or the time it took. Several days later a bill for about $500 arrived. ---------------------------------------------------------------- PK was a good as its word. They called back immediately and offered to amend their invoice to make up for the communication issues. Despite the hiccups, I ended up impressed by how seriously they take their work and reputation.

What this homeowner didn't add - we didn't solve his problem on one of the hottest weeks of the year! It was a dreadful time to be without a fan - and we didn't communicate our problem with him. The replacement fan was not available through our regular distributors and we had to do some research to find one and then get it here to the office. This is not really a good excuse, but we are contacting the home owner and will adjust his invoice on the labor hours involved.

Our proposal was for $1538 dollars, so I am confused on the $3,000 mentioned in the homeowner's comments. We also provided a price of $300 for raising the mast for the electrical line coming to the house as an option. I am wondering if we are mixed up with another electrician.

We asked PK Electric to give us a bid for some low-voltage work we needed done (Cat5E cabling, in-wall HDMI cabling, multi-room audio, phone cabling, ceiling-mounted TV's with video distribution etc). Their person came to our site on time and seemed extremely professional. We walked through the space with him for an hour and explained all the work that we wanted done, and he took detailed notes. At the end of our meeting he promised to send us a quote later that week. We never heard back from him again, despite repeated phone calls. He did not even call us to let us know they would not be able to provide us a bid. Perhaps he was scared off when he learnt we were getting quotes from multiple contractors?

I called PK because we were unsure of how to hook up a hard wired wall oven to an existing 220 outlet, and because we had a short circuit on the dedicated line to our dishwasher while remodeling our kitchen. They had to come out twice because there was not enough time the first day to find the short. It ended up being that the wire was in an odd place, and one of the screws we used to mount our cabinets hit the wire - since we had only replaced cabinets and appliances, we did not know how the wiring was done! Just bad luck that we hit it! Costly bad luck at that! I'm sorry I cannot remember his name, but the man they sent was very professional, friendly, and knowledgable - he did a great job splicing and fixing the wire so that we didn't have to completely tear everything apart to rerun the line. I will call PK in the future if I need any electrical work done!

It went swimmingly, from start to finish.
Description of Work: Having just moved into an old 1911 house, I needed some electrical mysteries solved (or explained) and some specific work done with unreachable switches, dangling wires, receptacles not "to code" and other "punch list" sorts of things. From my first contact with the office to the final handshake with Eugene, the electrician who came both days of the work, it was seamless and easy. The first day's work corrected a number of problems, and the return visit a week later was necessitated by having to order parts not on the truck the first time: a light for a bathroom shower and a covered exterior receptacle. I have not yet received a bill for the work, but the work itself was fast and tidily done. I am very pleased.

A crew of three smart, professional, experienced and very nice guys showed up on time and performed 9 hours of herculean work, wiring my entire house for Ethernet and installing a 24-port switch. They had to work predominantly in the crawl space and attic with probably around a mile of ethernet cable. When complete everying worked perfectly, which is surprising considering the complexity and scale of the job. They cleaned up after themselves (they had to cut a lot of drywall to install a patch panel and switch, and 6 ethernet jack panels in 6 different locations all across the house). Not only would I definitely use PK Electric again, I already have: I have them coming out soon to replace a dying whole-house exhaust fan and motor. Thanks guys!!

We lost power on 2 circuits in our 12 year old home, 1 in the kitchen and 1 in our master bath, on a Sunday evening. After reviewing several vendors on AL, I called PK Electric on Monday morning, and they were able to squeeze me in that afternoon. The electrician showed up at the agreed upon time, and replaced a breaker in our fuse box, which fixed the problem. Total time onsite 30 minutes. When we received our bill we noticed we were billed for a minimum 1 hour, plus an extra 1/4 hour extra. I contacted their billing department, and they said it was for travel time, but they took off the extra 1/4 hour and we settled up. Overall I was very pleased with the work, and their responsiveness.

I call PK Electric to replace my electrical panel. They first came and gave me an estimate for the job. They were lower than others so decided to go ahead with them. They have done several small jobs for me in the past, and I was very satisfied with their work. John and his helper came on time, did the job in less time then anticipated and arranged for the inspecter to come the next day to approve the work. I will definitely will use them again if the need arises. They are very professional, knowledgeable and do an excellent job.

This was a tough job, as all the estimators pointed out, but PK was the only company NOT to gouge me for the toughness of the job. Based on all the positive reviews on Angie's List, I decided to choose them, though they were the lowest bid. The two electricians who were sent out (Eugene is great!) were both polite and answered all my annoying questions and cheerfully did added work that wasn't in the original bid without gouging me for that (they just did it time and materials). There were no ugly surprises, and the estimator was spot on when he said that some drywall repair would need to be done, because the new panels were smaller than the originals. They also noticed some other stuff that needed to be done, so I am having them come back. I feel so much better now about having installed updated panels in my rental properties!

They did a wonderful job. Extremely thorough, professional - really great. They discussed the light placement and height, took my input and also made suggestions. They were very neat in the cuts they had to make in the dry wall and reattached the dry wall in a way that made it very easy for me to spackle and paint.

PK had installed the electric panel that was having the problem 2 years before, so when it malfunctioned on Easter Sunday we called them first thing Monday for a repair. They had an electrician out that day and were very gracious about working with my tenant since I was only available by phone. They troubleshot the problem and resolved it within an hour- luckily it was a problem with a bad receptacle not the panel itself.
Description of Work: Electrician troubleshot circuit that had tripped, would not reset, and was sparking. Problem turned out to be a bad outlet receptacle which they replaced which solved the problem.
