All right, I think. ( If I knew about electrical matters I coulld answer better and could probably do the "testing myself. I had questions about very warm appliance plugs at certain outlets. No problems found by the technician. )
Description of Work: Tested wall outlets; checked main electrical panel,; improved main panel's attachment to wall.

The crew of 2 came right on schedule (at 7:30 am) , went over the work order with me to confirm all work to be done, did the work quickly, quietly and neatly, double checked with me to confirm approval of all installions and placements of lights and were a joy to work with. They kept the mess to a minumum while working and cleaned up completely when they were done (wiping up plaster dust, wiping floor for any tracks from the muddy back yard, vacuming, etc). The crew was done by 2pm and I am very happy with the work and the company.
Description of Work: I had a light can trouble-shooted (they found and repaired a loose connection), an outside light relocated from the backyard to the front of my garage, a new fixture installed in back yard and 12 low voltage outdoor lights installed in back yard.

Eugene came out, did some trouble-shooting and did some re-wiring. No new circuit was needed. Eugene was very nice, professional and knew what he was doing. Another excellent experience with PK electric.
Description of Work: This is our second experience with PK Electric. Our dishwasher installer told us we needed to have our dishwasher on a dedicated circuit.

Eugene from PK Electric engaged in some troubleshooting to find the cause of a power outage we were experiencing with an electrical circuit in our home. Eugene approached the problem methodical and efficient. When he found the cause he quickly fixed it. He was professional, pleasant, informative. He cleaned up after himself and charged us a reasonable price for the time he spend solving the problem. We highly recommend Eugene from PK Electric located on Mercer Island. -mike nunn

i was told over the phone it would cost about $75 - imagine my surprise when i received a bill for $210.05. clearly the person who gave me the quote over the phone, didn't know what he was talking about - according to the invoice there is a minimum charge of $135. i would never use this company again. i chose this company based on the numerous positive reviews on angie's list - i'm now leery of how reliable the recommendations on angie's list are.
Description of Work: i needed an outlet moved about three feet.

The member received a credit for the work based on her understanding of the phone conversation. We have not been able to charge $75 per hour for at least six years and we were sorry for the misunderstanding.

Outlets were repaired. Most failed because they were linked to a larger power supply outlet with a loose wire. I would have never known to look there. Money well spent. Nice guy also... open to questions etc.

I needed electrical outlets added or moved closer to my toilets, so that I could install the heated seats. I also had a few new lighting fixtures waiting to be hung from the ceiling. I read the great reviews on PK here, contacted them by email, and received a response right away. Scott came first thing in the morning to find what I needed, and quickly gave me a quote, so I didn't have to be late for my work. Eugene was prompt too, and pleasant and thorough on the job. He made sure that everything was done the way I wanted. The thing I loved most about PK was that they seemed to work like a corporation that has separate department for each function (i.e. quote, scheduling, job, billing, etc. ), and yet the separation of functions didn't slow down one another a bit. The service I received from PK was fast and excellent on every stage, and I will definitely call them again for the future electrical needs.
Description of Work: Eugene added new outlets in the bathrooms and installed new lighting fixtures throughout the house.

The electrician and his apprentice were on time, they were super-friendly, efficient and knowledgable, and knew exactly what they were doing and did it quickly. I asked them to check on two other minor electrical issues I had in addition to what I had called them there for, and they were happy to do it. I was very happy with the service I received.

Perfect. It isn't easy working in a '45 house and except for the holes that had to be drilled at the top of the wall to run wires, there was no repair to do at all. They worked quickly, efficiently and cleaned everything up. I would definitely call them again.
Description of Work: Added two baseboard electrical outlets to the study, and converted the existing one to a four-outlet box, putting all the outlets on their own breaker. Also, rewired the bathroom circuit to be 20 amp and on its own breaker.

Responded on site to give an estimate the day after I called. Traffic jam held them up but they called to say they would be late. Only 10min late. Went through the house and explained what they would replace, run new circuits for refrig etc. Went through the attic and basement, examined the elec panel. Listed all the work and reviewed each item with me and said they would have an proposal sent to me by email. Received the email the next day, sent it back the following Monday and they were on site on Wed. Very easy and efficient. I didn't have to spend much time with them. They told me when they would start and finish and what would go on. Very personable and professional.
Description of Work: Rewired old wiring in the kitchen (3 lights, 3 exist receptacles), bathroom(1 light, 1 fan) guest bedroom (1 light, 2 exist. receptacles). Added 1 outlet in each room, repaired an exterior flood light , and replaced 3 fixtures and rewired 2 hall light fixtures. Tough job getting wiring through the existing plaster walls. Also checked the range circuit to make sure it was safe.

It went very well. I used Angie's list to select this contractor. We decided to upgrade the washer/dryer sockets after the estimate, and they prepared a new one on the spot. The only negative is that the main guy on the job was hard to understand at times. Had to do a quick follow up visit a week later to finish adding the outlets. They did a very thorough job and I feel much better about the house's electrical system now. Planning a follow up with PK for replacing ceiling fans and adding a disposal to the kitchen sink.
Description of Work: Replaced old fuse box with new service panel. Replaced outlets/added additional grounded outlets to ~60 year old house. Installed appropriate sockets for washer and dryer. Grounding wire installed.

Description of Work: I used PK Electric recently for electrical work. This is a one hundred year home which had an old push button light switch which had shorted out and popped circuit breakers so I had them come over recently to replace the switch button. As for the price it was under$150.

We were pleased with the interaction with the company. They seemed knowledgeable, were detail-oriented and got the estimate back to us. I don?t remember the exact estimated price, but I think it was about $7000 or $8000. We went with somebody who was slightly lower. He showed up on time. He was pretty responsive, but the poor guy had a baby in the middle. We would consider using them again for an estimate in the future.

The electrician called me and wanted to know if he could come early. I was able to meet him early and he helped me right away. The kitchen was a switch, but the bathroom outlet seemed to be something else. He hunted down the problem to the breaker box and fixed the issue. He also gave me other advice on work that could be done in the future.

PK Electric did an excellent job! From the estimate to the installation and clean up everything went well. They were punctual, efficient and clean. Additionally, both workman were very nice and took great pains to be neat and tidy with all that they did. I am a very picky person and used to work in the trades. I recommend PK Electric without reservation and will use them again!

I contacted Pk Electric based on many favorable letters written on their behalf by other members of Angie's List. I was ecstatic when they offered me a 7:30 am appointment. Somebody from Pk called me at 7:40 am to inform me that Lonnie had overslept and needed to drive from his residence in Everett to Mercer Island to get his truck and then drive back to Lynnwood. Lonnie arrived at 9:15 Am and got to work but never offered an apology for being two hours late. His quality of work was fine, but his pace was a bit slow. When I complained about this in my original report, Lonnie's supervisor called me right away, apologized, and offered me a partial refund on the labor (thanks Mike). I was very impressed by PK Electric's effort to make things right. It proves that PK Electric thinks of customer satisfaction first and foremost. Based on the quality of work and the excellent customer followup, I would not hesitate to use PK Electric again or recommend them to anyone else.
Description of Work: Pk Electric moved two wall outlets in my kitchen that were right at counter level and raised each one about one foot, installed two new outdoor outlets that were opposite two existing interior wall units, and replaced two existing wall outlets that did not function properly.
