Came out same day to give us an estimate on work to be completed. Able to schedule the work quickly. Arrived ON TIME! Took a few hours to complete and cleaned up after himself. Had to come back a couple days later as two outlets were not reconnected the first time. But again arrived ON TIME and quickly remedied the situation. Even more, answered all my curious 4 year old's questions about his tools and tasks performed!
Description of Work: Installed 2 new circuits, wiring and outlets in kitchen in a 62 year old house during kitchen remodel.

The man came as scheduled and diagnosed excessive heat resulting from too-low-capacity dimmer switch (300w). Unfortunately he did not have the 600w switch he wanted to put in, so for temporary use he put on a simple on-off switch. Another guy came as scheduled (4 days later) and installed the 600w switch. It works fine. The job would have been cheaper--less labor charge--if they hadn't had to come twice.
Description of Work: Kitchen track lighting was cutting out, would come back on again later. They fixed it by changing the dimmer switch.

They were prompt in returning a phone call, telling me they had to reschedule because of some situation with their employees. The person that came out clearly knew what he was doing. The price I paid exceeded what I was quoted. It had to do with what kind of lighting I described and I had anticipated a cost that I could flip one switch and have both sconces come on at once, but instead I had to have a separate switch for each sconce. The work was done well.
Description of Work: I had them fix the GFI socket and restored the outdoor lighting. They wired in sconces and switches for them.

We had two other quotes to run electrical and set up lighting for an expansion of my Optometry office. I was looking for both a quote and design help on what we needed to best light our eyeglass frames. One company took 10 days to give us a quote, and did not return calls, the other quoted us quickly, but had a lighting design that was all fluorescent which is not good for retail spaces. A Quality Electric LC came in lower than the other two quotes, and made recommendations that ended up making the new area look great. Using their recommendations we used some standard fixtures, halogens, recessed lighting, and LED lighting that works together perfectly. They were clean, on time, and professional. We paid less and got very professional results.
Description of Work: Designed a lighting scheme for lighting a new expansion of an Optometry office. Ran electric outlets, switches, and junction boxes where they were needed. Installed the lighting fixtures.

Easy to contact. Sent electrician out on the same day to diagnose problems. Electrician Dave S. was very courteous and efficient. Could not repair Rittenhouse doorbell chime (company no longer in business and no parts). I needed to select a new doorbell and transformer. He discovered problem with low-voltage landscape lights (transformer was putting out too many volts and burning out the lights). Scheduled two other visits to resolve all issues, including installing a new doorbell chime/transformer and new transformer and fixtures for low-voltage lighting.
Description of Work: Needed to figure out why Rittenhouse doorbell chime was no longer working. Also needed exterior landscape lights looked at to determine why bulbs burnt out so fast.

After a very disappointing experience with a company recommended by our real estate agent, we came to Angie's List to find a company to perform electrical work requested by the buyer of our home. Quality Electric was thoroughly professional, from the first person on the phone to the electrician who performed the work. They were polite, they arrived on time, they answered questions and explained things, they were incredibly close to their estimate. They cleaned up after themselves. They tolerated our dogs.
Description of Work: Resolved issue with non working outlet in the kitchen. Installed cut off switch at main electrical panel.

In January while pouring the concrete slab we asked A Quality Electric to drop off the Ufer (copper ground) that was required to be installed before slab inspection. My concrete guy offered to install it, if it was dropped off. The scheduler called me on Thursday afternoon to say the Ufer would be delivered by Friday 5 p.m. No one showed up, and the inspection was called in for Monday. When I realized Saturday, they no-showed, I called the emergency line, only resulting in an unprofessional tirade from the manager. They did install the Ufer Monday morning in a sloppy manner that the inspector made us tighten. I was instantly sorry we gave them 1 penny after they took a $1,900 deposit. February brought unreturned phone calls for 10 days; Mike Street's excuse was to blame me for calling the office instead of his personal cell phone. He said he couldn't find messages on his desk. After the panel was changed, calls to fix problems led to foul graffiti written on new wood studs.
Description of Work: We are building an addition to our home that required relocation of the main electrical panel. I called A Quality electric based on the electric company representative's recommendation. Mike Street came out to quote the job. I thought I was a good judge of character, but I missed on this one. We gave them the job, and endured 10 weeks of power posturing, game-playing, and unprofessional behavior, not showing up to deliver Ufer, saying they will call in electric inspection and failing to do so, I discovered after waiting home all day for the inspector to show up. Working as our own contractors, Mike Street was also the only contractor who demanded for me to fax him my scheduled list of contractors and dates of work because he questioned my ability to manage my project after the Ufer fiasco, then proceeded to use patronizing language every time I had to deal with him on the phone.

Response from A QUALITY ELECTRIC LC
I HAVE NEVER RESPONDED TO A COMMENT BY A MEMBER BASED OFF A REPORT GIVEN. I AM A FIRM BELIEVER IN GETTING THE MEMBERS HONEST AND ACCURATE OPINION IN REGARDS TO THE SERVICES WE PROVIDE. I AM REPLYING TO THIS PARTICULAR COMMENT BECAUSE I DO NOT FEEL THAT IT IS ANYWHERE NEAR ACCURATE. WE WERE RECOMMENDED TO THIS CUSTOMER BY THE UTILITY COMPANY BASED OFF OUR ABILITY TO COMPLETE PROJECTS SUCH AS THIS. WE DID NOT DEMAND A SCHEDULE WE REQUESTED ONE, AS ANY CONTRACTOR WOULD DO FOR A PROJECT THAT IS GOING TO TAKE COORDINATION OF SEVERAL DIFFERENT CONTRACTORS. WE DID NOT PROVIDE THE PERMIT AND THE PROJECT WAS NOT READY FOR INSPECTION, THEREFORE WE DID NOT CALL FOR AN INSPECTION WHEN IT WASN'T OUR PLACE TO. I DO KNOW THAT OUR WORK WAS COMPLETED ON SCHEDULE AND PASSED INSPECTION WITHOUT ANY CORRECTIONS. AS FAR AS FOUL GRAFFITI WRITTEN ON SITE I CAN ASSURE THAT THAT WAS NOT BY ANY OF OUR STAFF AND WOULD PROMPTLY TERMINATE ANY EMPLOYEE FOR DOING SO. I APOLOGIZE TO YOU IF YOU RECEIVED ANYTHING LESS THAN AN OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE WITH OUR COMPANY. I HOPE THAT OUR TRACK RECORD ON HERE WILL SHOW THAT OUR NUMBER ONE GOAL IS TO PROVIDE AN OUTSTANDING LEVEL OF SERVICE AND WORK THAT IS COMPLETED CORRECTLY AND TO CODE ON OUR FIRST VISIT. SINCERELY, MIKE STREET SERVICE MANAGER A QUALITY ELECTRIC

Very, very professional and reliable. Constant communication about service; very experienced technicians and very professional work. I've had a lot of electrical done in my house over the past 15 years and these guys were the best, but they are very pricey. When it comes to electrical work, I don't believe in pinching pennies.
Description of Work: I had several electric jobs around the house. Some complicated (tieing in outdoor electrical lights to a remote system I had) and some basic (adding lights/plugs).

I called and told the scheduler that I needed an interior chandelier installed and wired to an existing ceiling outlet. He said it shouldn't take more than two hours at a rate of $97.50 for first 30 minutes, then $45 per 30 minutes thereafter. I would have preferred to have someone come out and give me an estimate based on a personal assessment of work to be done. He scheduled the work for the following day at 7 AM. The next day the technician (Will) called about 6:30 AM and said he would be at the house at 7 AM. He was right on time. After looking at the chandelier, he first thought he could suspend it from the existing fan box in the ceiling. When he then read the installation instructions he discovered he would have to get into the attic to install a brace due to how heavy the chandelier was. He eventually got it installed and it works fine, but I was billed for 3.5 hours of work + materials. Had I known it was likely to be that expensive I would have secured several bids.
Description of Work: Installed chandelier in dining room and replaced a dimmer switch.

Job 1: These people are just great. Fast service, no games, fair price, very nice people to work with. Job 2: They arrived on time the day they scheduled the work, got right to it and finished that same day. Honest, direct and easy to work with. I was happy with the work they did, and would call them again. Actually, this is the second time I brought them in.
Description of Work: Job 1: Wired up a box for the garbage disposal, fixed a bad switch on the back porch, and added a 220V line to the kitchen where we had added an oven.($450) Job 2: This company wired a new laundry room, adding a 20 AMP circuit for the washer and a 220 Volt line for the electric dryer.

I was having a problem with the built-in microwave tripping the circuit breaker (it's on the same circuit as the refrigerator). I called the company and they promptly scheduled and electrician to stop by the next day to investigate. He came on time just as scheduled and was polite and professional. Since the circuit was not overloaded he suggested a replacing the breaker (vs. adding a new circuit which would cost $545 as we have a flat roof). So far this solution has worked fine.
Description of Work: Electrician preformed test to see if circuit was overloaded. It was okay so he suggested replacing the 20 Amp circuit breaker with new one, which he did. He also tightened all connections at the service panel.

It went great. We called them mainly because the bathroom light was not working but there were a few other tasks that I wanted an electrician to look at. He came for what I thought was an estimate but he fixed two of the problems right away!! I was thrilled! He then looked at the more difficult issues (broken outlet and switch for outdoor lights). The outlet had been poorly installed and had shorted out. I didn't realize what a fire hazard it was! Instead of fixing the outdoor light switch he asked if I liked the current set-up and suggested a photo-cell for them. He quoted it right there and came back two days later to do that project. It was a great idea and I really love the outcome! The $435 includes buying a new light and bulbs for the bathroom, labor, and all other parts and equipment. Well worth every cent!
Description of Work: Replaced a faulty light switch. Replaced a broken florescent light base (and supplied new bulbs). Removed a poorly installed shorted-out outlet and put a new one in its place. Removed poorly installed outdoor light switch and put the outdoor lights on a photocell.

He was pretty punctual. He called ahead of time to tell me he was coming. He was very quick with the work. He got it done in less than a half an hour, so I didn't have to pay more than the initial service charge. They were a little bit more expensive than other companies, but they were able come out immediately.

They arrived on time, with plenty of people on hand to do the job quickly. They were finished with both jobs in about three hours, and cleaned up the areas (master bath and kitchen) completely. The work was excellent. There was one small problem with a cabinet that bumped into the new light fixture, but that was easily fixed.
Description of Work: They added can lights to the kitchen and added a second outlet to the master bath.($1000.)
