He arrived on time for the appointment. He looked at the current fan and told me that it would be cheaper to replace the motor instead of installing a new fan.

Had a GFCI outlet that popped and wouldn't reset. Called Switch Electric. Had someone out same day to diagnose the problem. Turns out it was a breaker on a panel I thought was used for a generator. Oops. Cody, the electrician was really nice and didn't charge for the service call. I will definitely use Switch Electric again in the future!

Arrived and determined that the new fans were the same sound level as the existing fans were at the same level. After discussion we decided to get upgraded to a better fan and we scheduled the next visit. He worked with me on the plan and my schedule as I had numerous meetings to work around.
Description of Work: Installed quieter fans in all three of the bathrooms. I rerouted all the vent work, as the new fans didn't match the ducting, but he did all the other installation and electrical work.

I give the job an overall rating of C. While the repairman was knowledgeable and quite capable, he said the company policy precluded him from actually performing the task specified on Angies list (one electrical repair) without additional charges. Instead he temporarily fixed the problem and charged an extra $200 to complete the task. Apparantly, this is not the first time this outfit has employed such tactics with Angie's list members. I personally consider such policies unethical and would not recommend this company.
Description of Work: I accidentally severed a couple of wires in the exterior wall of my house by drilling a hole for an external antenna. The repairman confirmed the severed wires and patched them.

Response from Switch Electric LLC
Dear Member, We apologize that the coupon did not cover what you thought it was going to cover for a fix to your electrical issue. I pulled up your invoice to see exactly what we had to do to fix your electrical issue to make sure you were not charged for something you shouldn't have been. Your issue required rewiring to fix your electrical problem, in the Big Deal it clearly states "Coupon does not cover re-wiring or expensive materials (details can be given over the phone to determine the scope of your issue/project), and when the electrician was out at your home he went over the details with you and why you were going to charged more for the fix, and you agreed for us to proceed with the repair. We have sold many of these coupons to the Angie's List community and almost all customers have been happy with the results, but there has been a couple of instances where it didn't meet there needs and it was always due to not reading all the details on what the coupon actually provides, and it's always an option for the customer to be refunded the coupon, if they purchased something they weren't expecting. We are sorry that there was confusion with the coupon and we try everything we can to make it clear to the customer what it provides before they purchase it, and again before we perform the service at hand. I hope this clarify's why you had additional charges and give us a call if you have any more questions and we will be more than happy to speak with you. We appreciate your business and were happy to have you as a customer, and will do everything we can to keep you as a customer in the future. -Tyler

Switch employee showed up on time, was polite and went right to work. However, all he did was rewire the light, exactly as I had done several times before and, predictably, it went out again a couple of months later. I eventually replaced the entire fixture and ran new wires to it. From my point of view, the Switch employee just went through the motions. If I had hired an electrician just to rewire the light I am sure it would have costs much less than $125, so for us this was not a deal at all.
Description of Work: This was a "big deal" to "fix one electrical problem" for $125. We wanted one of the overhead lights in the kitchen fixed. It constantly "went out". The wire was old and I had rewired it several times myself, but it never lasted for more than a month or two. We were hoping for a permanent solution.

Dear Member, I apologize that your existing issue resurfaced after we thought we had solved your problem. On your invoice and on our website we stand behind all of our work and you get a 5 year warranty on all wiring, if you would have contacted us regarding this issue we would have been more than happy to come out and and repair it at no additional charge. I do apologize it wasn't resolved the first time but sometimes there is more than one fix needed to repair an electrical item that isn't apparent at the time of service, but that being said we also pride ourselves in that the last three years we have been in business we have had almost no call backs on our troubleshooting fixes. Since you went ahead and were able to resolve the issue yourself, give us a call or email and we will give you a full refund on the troubleshooting charge, we are not going to charge you for something that was not fixed and left you unsatisfied. We hope to speak with you soon so we can make this right. Thanks for your business! -Tyler

The electrician came promptly and seemed rushed. He looked at the three jobs that we needed fixed. He was able to install the fan in the Solar Tube without any problems. He applied a "Big Deal" coupon to "fixing" the can light. He "fixed" it by adjusting the tab in the can that makes contact with the light bulb. It had been working intermittently before, and as soon as he left, it quit working again. He looked at the fixture over-the-sink in the kitchen and told us it couldn't be fixed. We have since hired another electrician who came out and fixed the light in an hour for a fraction of the price Switch Electric charged for the other two jobs.

they called last minute and re-scheduled (so I had to deal with them by phone). checked panel, answered some questions. made cord to connect generator to house. charged $100 for this cord. i should have asked for an estimate. they built a 30A cord, an adequate 20A cord could be purchased at home depot for less than half that price. The Angie's list coupon was the same price as their regular service call so there was no 'deal'. The service was OK and the man was nice. was surprised by bill and they did offer to take cord back for refund.
Description of Work: called about circuit that kept popping. resolved issue before they arrived. asked for them to check our generator connection to circuit panel. asked about making a cord to connect generator to panel. they made cord.

Dear Member, I apologize that you were not satisfied with the price we gave you for the generator cord. Home Depot buys a large supply of those cords and we just can not compete with their pricing, we piece our cords together by hand and in the end unfortunately they just cost more when compared to a cord that is mass produced and sold in large quantities. I extend the opportunity again for a full refund on the generator cord we supplied, and your are more than welcome to go purchase the cord that home depot stocks. Let us know if we can help you in any other way and we appreciate your business! -Tyler

The team from Switch were professional and pleasant every step of the way. He gave me an itemized estimate on the spot, and performed the work with quick and professional turnaround. They were comparably priced for the work, but their service won me over. Additionally, when asked, they gave me excellant ideas for lighting design and as a bonus gave me a great referral for a general contractor for other work.
Description of Work: They installed recessed lighting in 4 bedrooms and an timer for the outdoor lights.

They worked with me answering questions, planning circuits and choosing the appropriate site for the generator. They scheduled around the propane hookup, scheduled an inspection and did a test run of the generator and circuits. They were punctual, friendly, flexible and professional. They were a pleasure to work with and I will be using them again for future electrical work.

Kory and an associate provided an estimate which completely matched expectations and after scheduling the work it was performed promptly and they gave a run through of what to do and made sure the generator provided power as expected. Also made it so it's ready for 400 volt service if I upgrade the generator, so a minor change is all that's needed vs. a complete rework. Great experience that met all expectations.

I had been having trouble with a downstairs light fixture (lots of bulbs burning out) for years. Various electricians checked it out, and even changed the fixture, but it still kept burning out. I bought a coupon from Angie's List to have someone from Switch Electric come check it out, because we were getting ready to sell our home. The guy quickly figured out that the light burned out because it was under our kitchen, so there was a lot of walking and banging around going on over it - the vibrations were making the bulbs burn out. He replaced it with a fluorescent fixture, and we never had any more trouble with it. It was a very simple solution that no one else thought of!

They were very professional, efficient and respectful. They both took their shoes off when they entered my home. They seemed confident and knowledgable. Jeremy called when he had to push back the time he would be able to arrive, which was fine with me. I understand when a job takes longer than expected.

The staff arrived in time, and got the job done within 2 hours, which is good. I am also happy with the way they cleaned up the room when job was finished. Very neat. But there are a few things that I was not satisfied with. When they firstly installed the HDMI cable on ceiling, there's no outlet installed at all. So basically you see a hole where the cable penetrated through the ceiling, which was ugly. I asked why there was no HDMI outlet. The technician told me that there would be an outlet on the wall, but ceiling won't have one. I insisted that we should have outlets in both places, and then I was told that there would be 50$ - 150$ more if I want to install two outlets and they only carry one outlet today, so there would be potential cost for another visit. I was disappointed as this wasn't mentioned at all in the estimate. How come you can run a cable but not installing the outlet? Eventually the technician agreed to install a box for me without additional charge, and I will have to buy the panel and install it myself. During the work, the technician seems a bit rushed. Although by contract the electric company is not responsible for sheetrock damage, I would be appreciated if they pay more attentions and reduce the damage as much as possible. They accidentally cut down one piece of sheetrock between two outlets, which is completely unnecessary. And there are a number of scratches and holes left on my wall when they were looking for stud (they don't have stud finders?). These damages should have been avoided. UPDATE 12/3/2012 Tyler, owner of Switch Electric, called me this morning. He apologized for what I've experienced and gave me a partial refund. I do appreciate that, and I believe they can do better and better in the future as they care deeply about customers' feedback.

Dear Member, I happy to hear that our electricians arrived on time and cleaned up to your satisfaction, I apologize for the electrician not having the plate you wanted and if you thought the sheetrock damage was more than anticipated. I spoke with the electrician that was out there and he said there was a beam that was in the way affecting his pathway for the wire, but as for the sheetrock that broke out between the boxes, I know sheetrock can be brittle at times and is hard to avoid this when two boxes are placed so close to each other. We would still like to make it up to you and refund you the amount you spent on purchasing the plate, as well as refunding a portion of your invoice to help pay to repair your sheetrock. I will call you this morning to get this taken care of immediately and see what else we can do for you. Thank you again for your business, and for being a great customer. -Tyler

I initially purchased an Angie's list special for troubleshooting a problem. The resulting work was so good, I immediately asked for a bid on additional work. They gave a reasonable bid which I accepted on the spot. The subsequent work for installing new outlets and new light/fan fixtures was A+ work. The workmen showed up on time, were very professional, and extremely helpful in coming up with a solution to an unforeseen problem that arose due to rafters in the way of the installation. I was very satisfied with the results and they didn't charge me any more for the change in scope.
