We are so happy to finally find a reliable and efficient electrician! They initially said they would come out in the afternoon of the next day after we called, but to our surprise and thrill, they called in the a.m. and were able to come out first thing. The tech lived in our neighborhood and was familiar with our older house and its typical problems. He diagnosed and fixed it within 30 minutes. We are delighted!
Description of Work: After a week of attempts to diagnose and replace a failed range, we finally determined it was a power/voltage problem. It ended up being a bad breaker. No new range needed!

Casey provided excellent service. He was punctual, courteous and very knowledgable. He was very careful to align the fixtures with the edge of the counter and with each other. He also cleaned up the drywall mess afterwards.

We needed a first floor room (of two story house) wired for a ceiling fan and also a switch moved for a closet light. Guy was helpful on the phone, provided a ball park estimate which seemed pretty consistent with other places I called. He arrived right on time and was professional and efficient. He let us know that he would have to put holes in the wall to install the fan box and run the wiring. He knew exactly what he was doing and made the holes no bigger than necessary and they were smaller than I expected. Even though they don't do drywall, he did patch the holes very neatly which we appreciated. Working with Swenson was easy and straightforward. The estimate was accurate, no surprises. We would definitely call them again.

I called Guy Swenson (owner) based on a good referral of a neighbor. He asked me several questions in layman terms about my issue to help diagnose the problem and said he would send an electrician over on Wednesday. Casey, one of his electricians called me on Wednesday and arrived within 5 minutes of his commit time. He was in a new truck, clean, personable and definitely knew his stuff. Casey quickly identified power coming through a ground wire and hunted down the issue to an outside GFCI which apparently had been mis-wired in the past by a landscaper. Fixing the GFCI outlet solved both shock issues. Total time was just over an hour which was much faster than a similar issue I had at a house in LA. Price was about half of what I was expecting and Guy made the invoicing and payment easy (one text and an email). I am certainly going back to Swenson for any future electrical needs and would recommend him to anyone in the valley. Bill Luhrs

Swenson Electrical was without a doubt the absolute best experience I have ever had when working with any contractor, bar none. Guy and Casey Swenson were a pleasure to deal with on every level, and the quality of their workmanship was perfect. I will be calling them again within a matter of weeks. Don't make a mistake by dealing with people who lack the integrity and expansive knowledge of Guy and Casey Swenson.
Description of Work: Swenson Electrical worked on a house that was 60 years old that is located in a really nice part of Phoenix. They upgraded electrical systems that were out of date, and not up to the current codes.

Guy originally came out to check out the problem and to give an estimate of what would need to be done. He advised that the charge of the service call could be applied towards the balance of the repairs needed, which was great. He came out today and was able to get everything fixed in less time than he anticipated. He did a great job and would definitely call him again if we need more electrical help!

They have been on-time and done everything correctly, the first time. I didn't know how they'd do the first time I hired them, however, they did such a great job I've hired them over and over again. The cost of service has ranged from $50 to $800+, based on what all needed to be done. It seems like it's getting harder and harder to find high-quality, reliable, trustworthy and skilled service providers. Swenson's is all that and more. I very highly recommend them.
Description of Work: I have used Swenson over more times than I can remember. They have done everything from installing lights on a 24ft ceiling over a pool table to adding outlets, to moving switches, to adding exterior outlets, to installing 8 ceilings fans, it installing LEDs on 20ft ceiling over kitchen island, to redoing a poor job someone else did with LED under kitchen cabinets, to installing a "home run"... you get the idea.

They did some rewiring, but they never finished the job. He lied to me, saying the work had been completed. He left some switches hanging out of the wall. I had to call someone else to do the job. He still even sent me a bill.

Excellent! Guy and his brother Casey were always available to talk to and answer questions. I was happy to find them since the job was a real challenge. Two other electricians wouldn't touch it and the 3rd quoted an astronomical amount. I highly recommend Swenson Electric.

Swenson Electric immediately found it wasn't wired properly at the switch and corrected the problem in no time. Before I called Swenson Electric a "handyman" had looked at it, he couldn't find anything wrong, so he gave up and charged $20 and left me high & dry! It was worth calling Swenson's...at first they said they could come out the next day, which I was happy with, but then called back and said they could come in 30 minutes!

It went well and the problem was found immediately.
Description of Work: Due to our changing switch plates in an electrical box one wire was not reconnected thus causing power not to flow to a section of our house. After our troubleshooting failed we called Swenson Electric, and Guy came right over and found our problem immediately. He was good natured and very polite and professional. We will refrain from our "do it yourself" electrical projects in the future and call Swenson Electric instead!

My wife and I just recently moved in to a new house, and we have been having some issues with losing power to certain areas of our house. We've had several different electricians through trying to identify exactly what the problem was. Most electricians we talked to told us that we'd likely have to rewire entire parts of the house. We wanted to find an electrician who would actually identify the problem instead of throwing very expensive solutions at it, with no guarantee it would actually fix the problem. Casey from Swenson Electric came out the very next day I called, and he was very kind and professional. He took a look at our box, identified the issue, called our power company on our behalf, and then they had a guy out there the same day. Casey was dead on with the problem, our power company fixed it, and now we have a working house again! Not only did he identify the problem within fifteen minutes, I asked if he would walk around the house with me and look and any potential electrical hazards. He took his time and carefully investigated every issue I brought up and assessed the potential dangers, explaining to me what I needed to know about the issues I brought up, and whether or not they were actually dangers. I was so very impressed the Swenson's expertise and service, and I will definitely be calling them again.
