Overall, Guy 's experience was obvious. He solved the problem and did not rack up extra charges.
Description of Work: Guy came over within a few hours of my call. He diagnosed the problem and got me back up and running. We thought the problem was fixed but had another electrical anomaly and Guy came back an hour later. He replaced a breaker, at no charge, and did not charge me for the second trip. He was correct in his root cause diagnosis.

Casey and David arrived on time and were very agreeable and easy to deal with. They got straight to work and wasted no time. When they left they gave me a ballpark figure of around $400, which was in line with the estimate Guy had given me over the phone. BUT a couple days later Guy called me apologetically and told me that he'd underestimated the labor, as two workmen were involved--THE BILL CAME TO $140 MORE THAN THE ESTIMATE! Even though this was considerably less than other estimates I'd received, I thought the overrun was a bit excessive, which is why I gave them a C on price. Guy needs to watch his estimates more closely.
Description of Work: Replaced 3 florescent ballasts, 6 lamps, 2 circuit breakers, and our front door outside light with a new fixture we provided. Also put in an electrical outlet beside our breaker box.

Today I contacted Guy for a second time. I first used Swenson Electric last June when I overloaded a circuit with a new countertop microwave and had to have a fried breaker replaced. Although I live further away, they responded the same day I called. I found the service to be helpful, professional, honest, and timely. Furthermore, the fee was extremely reasonable. During that visit, they even helped me move the heavy microwave to a different circuit and looked through my kitchen to see if I had a dedicated outlet for the microwave. (I do . . . but it's over the stove and I didn't get a replacement over-the-stove microwave yet.) Unfortunately, the same situation happened to me the other day on the other breaker. It was my fault - I accidentally ran a small space heater at the same time as the microwave, completely forgetting the breaker couldn't handle so many amps. I immediately called Guy again because he earned my trust after a great experience last June. We were in the process of setting up an appointment again, and he asked me to double check the breaker one more time just to be sure. (We had already attempted this before calling Guy, and nothing was tripped and we couldn't move the breaker - the same thing that happened last time.) While on the phone with Guy, I was able to get the breaker to reset, and everything is working perfectly now. Most other companies would probably have sent someone out, and charged a service fee + materials for something Guy was willing to try to help me with over the phone. I would absolutely hire Swenson Electric for any future services I require. I always get nervous contacting businesses for which I am unfamiliar because it seems they always tack on extra charges once they come to your home. My experience with Guy and his group has been the opposite - I believe they are doing honest business at a reasonable price. Thank you!
Description of Work: Two separate experiences with this company - the first was June 2012; the second one today. In June, I had a fried breaker replaced. Today, they helped me fix my problem over the phone at no charge!

My experience w/Swenson was excellent...from the first phone contact I made w/Guy to Casey and David who arrived on time on the agreed date to do the work. The work was done quickly, efficently and most importantly safely and to code. I have more work that I need to have done and will be calling on their services again...

We turned to Angie's to find a reliable and recommended electrician and found Swenson. They gave us a competitive quote and we have invited them back to do additional work numerous times. The team are reliable, get the job with minimum fuss and do great work and are a pleasure to work with. We have left them unsupervised in the house many times and have always returned to find that they have left the place tidy and more importantly securely locked up. We will continue to use Casey and his team for our future electrical work and I have no hesitation in providing an excellent reference for them. Thank you Gentleman.
Description of Work: We purchased a new home in Scottsdale last year that required a number of major upgrades. Namely new fans, lights, installation of a sound system, electric under floor heating (yes in AZ can you believe it), automated Z-way power outlets and outside control switches.

Guy Swenson showed up right on time to give us an estimate which he was able to provide immediately, giving us a "not to exceed" figure of $1500. They showed up to do the work on time and worked quickly and efficiently (important since we were paying by the hour + parts). They had to return a second time a few weeks later to install the under cabinet lights once the pantry was complete. They didn't bill us for any work until the entire job was complete...even though they had actually already finished most of their portion of the job. Everyone involved in the job was friendly, efficient and skilled. The job actually came in almost $150 under the estimate. We will not hesitate to use this company again...very satisfied.
Description of Work: Pulled 2 new gfi circuits, installed 3 outlets and provided and installed 3 under cabinet lights with switch

We will go back to Swenson Electric for future lighting upgrades. The electrician was already setting up when I arrived a little after 7 in the morning. We're working with an assortment of contractors for basic upgrades, and Swenson's quality of customer service is among the best.
Description of Work: Installed a ceiling fan without existing wiring. Drywall holes were already in place.

I called Guy a week ago to set up some possible dates for the work to be done. Guy called back and we scheduled for 12/27, very easy. Casey and Dave from Swenson Electirc arrived on time and went right to work. I had 2 ceiling fans installed and 8 other lights replaced, not all were in great shape. Excellent workmanship and responsiveness to questions. They gave me recommendations for both the current and future installations, and corrected some issues with the lights we had bought, along with putting the ceiling fans together. Bottom line, I am very happy with the quality of their work, the timeliness of their work, and the reasonable price. I couldn't recommend them or the company any higher and will be contacting them for future work. Thanks guys....well done!

The property manger called Swenson and was able to arrange a same-day appointment. Guy Swenson, who I guess is the owner/operator, came as promieed on time and did the repair. He also pointed out some possible code issues we have with our wiring due to the work of a terrible electrician we used previously (who will remain nameless). I appreciated having his input. All in all, a simple repair done with very accommodating service. I will continue to use Swenson for my work in the future.
Description of Work: Just needed a simple light switch dimmer replacement in my winter home. Since I was not there, my property manager arranged for a repair. I used Angie's List to find a highly rated electrician, and that's howI settled on Swenson.

We contacted Swenson Electric over the weekend and Guy called back promptly. In fact he scheduled us the first thing on monday morning. Casey and Dave arrived promptly and very professionally addressed our concerns of flickering lights and potentially dated service panels. After inspecting our system and doing a little maintenance (cleaning and tightening connections) and readings they believed the problem was coming from outside from the electric company ( APS).After a few trips from APS, the flickering is gone. There was a faulty wire and loose connection in the line. Because of Swensons methodical and intelligent approach, the problem was identified. Just a week before we were feeling like we may have to go an expensive route and replace all our service. Had we done that, the problem may still have existed. I give 10 stars to Guy, casey, dave.!
Description of Work: Diagnosis of why our lights were flickering , circuit breaker tripping, and to check out integrity of service panels.

Casey and David arrived promptly and evaluated my request to add two sconces and a light switch to a faux-painted wall. They were very careful to ensure it would go smoothly before making any holes in the wall. They also suggested placing the light switch in a spot different than what I originally planned, but the new spot was actually much better both electrically and aesthetically. The holes were as small as possible and nicely hidden by the sconces. The installation was perfect, and I highly recommend Swenson Electric.

They arrived within their stated time. Casey and Dave were great! Courteous, honest and straightforward. It was clear they knew what they were doing. We needed to replace the nonfunctional pool pump timer and the outdoor lighting power unit/transformer as it burnt out. They told us they would have to find the parts we needed and get back to us. I assumed that meant a delay of a few days. However, within and hour of their departure, they called back to say they found the parts and were returning to install them!!! Who provides that kind of service these days? Everything was installed flawlessly and it all works. Fast, courteous and responsive. Can't ask for any better. Then I asked to pay their bill and they told me they would mail it to me. Every other worker always asked for immediate payment. It's so clear that to these guys customer service comes first. Bottom line, I would use these guys again anytime in the future when an electrical problem occurs. I would give them my highest possible recommendation for excellent service. -800This was my first use of Angie's list and I couldn't be happier!
Description of Work: They fixed a garage door opener light, a pool pump timer and a Low Voltage outdoor lighting power unit.

Once again I was extremely pleased with the workmanship and professionalism demonstrated by the workers. They were very proficient and considerate in showing me the problems that existed. I felt very confident and comfortable with their work. I am planning to use Swenson Electrical again to put in some new electrical updates to my home.
Description of Work: I first time I call Guy Swenson I had an outlet that had started to smoke, which was taken care of along with 3 other switches. I decided that all my electrical outlets and light switches needed to be checked out. I called Swenson Electrical again and had them check all my electrical outlets and light switches in my home. Many of the outlets were improperly connected and 3 of them were burned. Several of the outlets needed to be replaced. I also had them update my smoke detectors and kitchen light.

Description of Work: Guy came out to our home and did a step by step check of all the receptacles on a GFI that would not reset. After testing each receptacle down the line, he was able to pinpoint the problem and correct it. He was knowledgeable, professional and was able to give me a solution to this long-term problem, ie. less receptacles depending on one GFI (a future project)..

Recently I moved into a new house. To my annoyance, the first time I used my microwave it tripped a breaker. Worse, it was my living room breaker my TV and computer were on! This is not something I wanted to deal with long term so I called/emailed a few electricians right away. I went with Swenson because they frankly seemed most interested in taking my business. On the day of service, the two gentlemen arrived a little ahead of schedule and went straight to work. It took them a little less than three hours to run the line, even with the issues of having a vaulted ceiling to work with and some duct work in the way also. They cleaned up after the job immaculately and they even added access boxes in the garage to the new electrical line in case I wanted to add any outlets in the future. Finally, as they were finishing up they gave me some general advice and things to look for concerning my roof and ceiling issue in my garage. Really above and beyond to do these sorts of things! I was very happy with how relatively easy the whole process was.
Description of Work: Added a new circuit for a over the stove microwave. Ran wiring through garage and attic to location and added new outlet box for the microwave.

Excellent in all ways. The garage had a fan that was being controlled by a digital timer switch. In order to operate better the switch should have been a temperature controlled thermostatic switch. Guy Swenson (the owner) answered the initial phone call and completely understood the problem and my request to change out and install the correct type of switch. Guy showed up and did the work himself and was very efficient and expert, taking very little time. Price for service render was excellent. Already plan to use him again on another matter. Highly recommend.

The guys did a great job and...just as impressively, they cleaned up after themselves! I was so pleased. I have a few more to take care of to finish off the house. I will be calling them again to do the work for me.
Description of Work: My husband and I purchased a 10 year old house in Cave Creek and needed to change out most of the light fixtures. Two electricians from Swenson came in as we had 9 fixtures to take care at the time. For one fixture, he moved the electrical box over about 6 inches so we could hang some art on that wall, 3 fixtures were previously recessed lights from which pendents were hung (and not done well) and the rest were just swapping out fixtures.
