An estimate can't take place until December. :)
Description of Work: We have worked with Switch Electric several times before and they are great. They are very busy now so just to get an estimate will take three to four weeks and the work cannot be scheduled until four to six weeks after the estimate. That means to do something like mount a TV, we are looking at January. I jokingly said so if we want to look at doing a generator, it would likely be summer and she laughed and said probably. Good for them, they are doing extremely well and they do a great job. It's just that they are so popular that getting on their schedule is very difficult indeed!

Awesome! I initially had Switch Electric come out in October to investigate the power supply to my dishwasher. It was 14 years old, so I wasn't sure if the reason it wouldn't turn on was because of the machine or a problem with the power supply. The crew confirmed that the dishwasher was broke and that the power supply was fine. I bought a new dishwasher and had it installed yesterday, and after installation we flipped the breaker over to turn on the machine and heard a very loud pop from the dishwasher. The installer informed me that there was a problem with the power supply. I called Switch Electric, quite worried that there was something really wrong with the wiring in the house. Even though they are quite busy with other clients, the owner came out that same day to investigate the problem. After pulling out the dishwasher and examining the power supply, Tyler realized that the installer had damaged the electric supply cord during the installation by accidentally stripping the protective outer-layer of the wiring off when he pushed the dishwasher into the cabinet hole. Instead of putting me on a wait-list for service, Tyler fixed the problem immediately. He went to Home Depot, got the supplies needed, repaired the wiring, reinstalled the dishwasher, and informed me that this would be at no cost as the repairs were under warranty from the initial visit in October. I couldn't have been more impressed, really. I would highly recommend Switch Electric, and will definitely use them again in the future.
Description of Work: Initial visit was for to check on the power supply to an old dishwasher. The second visit was to repair power supply to the new dishwasher.

The technicians did a walk through my house to determine where all the blinking was taking place and asked several questions regarding any work that might cause the issue. They found the problem and I have not had the problem since. Brian and Dan were professional and courteous and explained everything they did. This is the 2nd time I have used Switch and have been please each time. I have other projects and they will be the ones I call.
Description of Work: The lights in my house had been blinking and were getting worse. I was worried that I might have a major short somewhere that could cause sever damage.

Switch was on time, worked straight thru, modified our original planned installation "on the fly", and completed with only one "glitch" which was found and corrected! Tyler was very professional, responsive, and clearly customer oriented. Aaron and Chris worked thru until ~ 5:30.... no breaks, lunch while working. We're really glad we found Switch and wouldn't hesitate having them back or recommending them to others.

Joe was courteous and punctual. He explained what his team of three will do and kept informing me of the progress. The work was done in much shorter time than expected. The following day the range arrived, and the power circuit is performing as expected. Very happy with the work performed by Switch Electric. I hired them in the past, and wlll cotinue to do so.

Terrific! Switch's communication is excellent, and when the electrician showed up, he answered a lot of my questions and made recommendations about how switching to LED lights in a few places would solve some issues and save money over my current bulbs. They came back to replace some parts in other light fixtures when the parts came in and I had the same great experience. Really appreciated this customer service-oriented business.

Awesome. The technicians showed up on time. I was told that they were scheduled for all day, however they were done in 3 hours. Yea! The work was top notch and they even cleaned up after themselves! As soon as the work was completed they scheduled an inspector to come out and their work passed!
Description of Work: I needed a new power source for a kitchen remodel. When the technician came out for the free estimate, I asked him to price out three additional small projects. The bid for the total package was what I had budgeted for just the kitchen remodel power source.

Bryan and Chris showed up on time. They showed us what will be done and answered our questions which is great. They put round paper to where the new lights will be and discussed with us about the location of the new lights. They hung the chandelier professionally and cleaned the bulb containers. They installed dimmer and arc fault. At the end, all lights are installed and working. Problems: 1. Chris keeps dropping screws and other things. After they left, I found dings on our brand new floor which is not cool. 2. To install the 4 new recessed lights, they made 16 holes get the wires across. This seems excessive. Chris doesn't use a stud finder, he used a magnetic thing to try to find nails on the joist and he's supposed to drill a hole besides the joist. Among the 16 holes, there are 4 holes with the joist directly above which means they have drilled at the wrong spot. Ideally 12 hole should have been adequate for the job. But I'm no expert. 3. While drilling in the wall, they lost control of the drill and made a ding on the newly painted wall and now I have to fix that too. The job finished in about 4 hours. Bryan is pretty awesome and seems to be more experienced. i wish Chris cares more about the customer property and genuinely care about how many holes the customer has to patch afterwards and try his best to minimize the number of holes to cut to complete the job. All in all, the job wasn't finished to the level I expect from Switch Electrics who has so many good reviews on Angie's List. But I can't say this is a failure either since all the lights are installed and work properly after Bryan and Chris left. That's why I'm giving it a C.
Description of Work: Install 4 new recessed lights, replace two existing lights into recessed lights, move one light to the side and change it to a chandelier.

Response from Switch Electric LLC
Dear Member, I apologize we did not meet your expectations on this project, I spoke with the electricians this morning and informed them of the issues you spoke about here. They informed me this was a complicated job to get all the new can lights in because of the framing they ran in to on your ceiling, typically the magnet method works real well as stud finders can be unreliable and the magnet is able to locate the screws or nails used to secure it. They found that there is a few areas where the drywall is not secured like it should have been or normally is but this was only in a couple of areas. They also mentioned the screw that was dropped was a tiny machined screw used to hold the wire in the box, they weren't sure how this could have caused any damage to the floor but are deeply sorry if it left any type of mark, even with your floor being covered by a layer of plastic protection. The last portion was the drill hitting the wall, sometimes when drilling through wood our drill bit can catch a nail and really torque your wrist, we do our best to prevent this from happening but at times in a retrofit situation it's unavoidable and can catch you by surprise. We always try our best for each and every customer which is reflected in our reviews on here, but working in homes that are finished always present their challenges. In most homes we enter we can foresee all of these and get the job done perfectly, but every once in awhile we get a home like yours where it is more complicated then it seems, and we make every effort to complete the project with as minimal amount of drywall damage as possible. I will have a meeting with the two electricians on your project though and talk through ways we could have prevented some of these items that happened on your home if it was possible, feedback like yours allows me to continue to fine tune my employees to make them some of the best out there for my customers, and I truly appreciate you taking the time to write it. I want to thank you again for using us on your project and hope that you decide to reach out to us if you ever need another electrician, and our electricians really want you to know that they tried their best to give you the best possible outcome for adding your new lights. Thank you again, Tyler Keezer

I've used Switch Electric multiple times now and have always been happy with their service. Tyler is very responsive to emails and lets you know if something doesn't go right, in my case we had to delay the work for 4 weeks because the whole house fan was out of stock and they tried to schedule the work as soon as possible once the fan is shipped. Overall the installation was really good and price seems reasonable considering 2 electricians were occupied for the whole day. I always trust they do the right thing electricity wise.
