Guy was a pleasure to work with. He had to dig up several areas of my front yard in order to find a a couple of cuts in the wiring that occurred when the landscaping was installed and caused my outdoor lights not to function as well as a circuit breaker to keep tripping. Guy arrived on time and was very helpful and professional. I would not hesitate to call him again or recommend him for any electrical work.

Guy and his crew were polite and proficient. Showed up on time and completed everything we asked them to do.
Description of Work: Guy went through our home inspection list of electrical items for repair on a home we recently purchased. He walked through the house with me and gave me an estimate. He accommodated our tight scheduled and arrived on time with a large crew to knock the job out in no time. He even accommodated our request to replace the smoke detectors throughout the house even though it wasn't on the initial job order and he had to make another trip to the store to complete our request.

Swenson's two-man crew arrived on time-- slightly early, actually. They quickly went about their business and identified an overheating problem with the three low voltage lights, and then replaced them with line voltage lights. I asked if they could stay to replace the remaining low voltage cans with line voltage cans (about 10 - 12 cans) for safety purposes. They altered their schedule to stay as long as it took to remove and replace all of the fixtures. I was impressed that each man put a cloth down on the floor under where they were working to catch any debris. When they were finished, they wrapped up the cloths and left a clean floor. OVERALL: The crew's manner was professional and courteous. They were efficient and were willing to alter their schedule to complete the job in one trip. I'll call them again.
Description of Work: I called Swenson to determine why three low voltage can lights were not working properly. They identified the problem and replaced the three low voltage cans with line voltage lights. I then had them replace all of the remaining low voltage cans with line voltage cans as a safety measure.

This "Guy" is da bomb! Think Dr. Marcus Welby (if you are old enough to remember him) who makes a house call, shows up on time, applies his decades of experience, is a genuine nice guy, and patiently fixes your problems for a reasonable price. This is not a big company with an attitude. Swenson is personal service. Guy takes his time and does a quality job. If you need an electrician, your search is over.
Description of Work: I needed a 240v outlet installed in my garage before my Tesla electric car arrived. I called on a Thursday and told him I was not in a hurry. He got back to me on Monday and said he could be at my home in an hour. We had to strategize on the best way to install it so that it would be functional but also aesthetically pleasing. Guy was willing to do whatever we came up with and did a high quality job.

Guy was great! On-time and pleasant. He worked with my schedule and called me to keep me informed of his arrival. Definitely will keep his card on file as my electrician expert!
Description of Work: I had replaced a lighting fixture on my own, but did something wrong which I couldn't figure out. So that's when I called Swenson Electric. Guy undid what I did (wiring mixup!) and put the lighting fixture in correctly in a matter of minutes.

Spoke with Guy Swenson and explained what I wanted done and he scheduled a 6 am start on 9/28/2010. Casey and David arrived promptly at 6 am and worked straight through until 2 pm without a break and then cleaned up. They advised me that the rooms where I wanted the 3 new fans installed were not prewired so that entailed much work in cramped attic areas--running wires, installing boxes and outlets, etc., and then putting the fans and lightkits together and testing everything to ensure that all worked smoothly. The motion sensor light on the front of the garage and the two flood lights in the backyard also required signifcant work--running conduit, placing the switches indoors, and positioning the sensor light so that people on the sidewalk would not set it off and with the flood lights aiming one lamp of each unit to shine along the sides of the house while the others illuminated the backyard. They finished at 2 pm and cleaned up and returned at 6 am two days later to deinstall the 2 old patio fans and install the two new ones and replace the nonfunctioning doorbell. They finished at 7:30 am. Total labor time: 19 hours @ $65/hr. Total cost: approx. $1500 including materials and taxes. For the installation of the 3 new fans Casey explained options on how they could be installed and where the switches could be located. Both Casey and David were professional, neat in their work habits, cleaning up completely at the end of both work sessions. Swenson Electric will be my choice for any future electrical work I need to be done.
Description of Work: Installed 3 ceiling fans with light kits in rooms which were not prewired; replaced 2 existing patio fans; installed one motion sensor light on garage; installed 2 flood lights in backyard; replaced doorbell

At first I thought that my kitchen appliances, bought at the same time, were all giving out at once as none of them were preforming properly. I called an appliance servicing company and they sent out a repairman. He quickly realized it was not a problem with the appliances and told me I probably should call an electrician. Where-as I went to Angies List for an electrician in my area. A man from Swensen came by to check that day and suggested that I not use the appliances very much if at all over the weekend and set up an appointment for the next Tuesday to do the work. On Monday morning they called early and asked if the work could be done then. I agreed and they came out. Not long after they arrived they realized the problem was not in the house but with the power company buried line. The Swensens man called the power company for me and explained the problem. Since the house, built in the 1970's, has aluminum wiring they suggested that all the outlets and electrical fixtures be properly be tagged with copper wire which they did. The power company showed up to dig up and replace their line as Swensen was leaving. I was very appreciative of the fact that Swensen spoke with the Salt River Power for me and explained what the problem was for.
Description of Work: I was having problems with fluctuating power in my appliances and lighting. Swensen Electric checked all the connections and power outlets in the home and as the wiring was aluminum they tagged everything to copper as only a few in the kitchen had already been done and that was where the problem was most noticeable.

Guy came to check out the problem on the same morning that I called. He showed me what/where the parts were burnt or damaged and explained options and his recommended plan. He located the parts and gave me an estimate of the cost. He called the power company and made arrangements for the disconnect/reconnect and advised me that a permit from the city would be required - which he explained that I could obtain or he would obtain. All the work was completed and inspected by noon the following day. The final price was slightly below the bottom of the range he had in his estimate. Guy was extremely pleasant, responsive, and thorough. He communicated very effectively with me as well as the power company and city (to facilitate a somewhat earlier inspection and reconnect than planned). He had the work completed and inspected before the other contractor that I called had even returned my initial phone call. I will definitely call Guy if we need an electrician again. It was a great experience from start to finish.
Description of Work: Following a meter replacement, the power company informed us that our electrical system needed repair. A component of the meter can was burnt and there was a loose connection. We had been away, and on our return we had found a door card from the power company and noticed that we had partial electrical service in the house, i.e., the oven was not working. We spoke to the power company and determined that when we had hired an electrician, he/she should call their inspection department and make arrangements for a temporary disconnect and reconnect when the work was to be done.

I attempted to convert an existing two-wire outlet with a three-wire after reading a reference book and verifying that the circuit was grounded. However, the was a problem with exposed bits of wire at the outlet box connection and I actually had a little mini fire when I powered on the outlet. Luckily I was able to turn off the circuit at the breaker board before any real damage was done. Guy diagnosed the problem and explained that I hadn't done anything wrong other than not discover the faulty connection. He gave me some pointers to follow before switching out other outlets in the house. I now have more confidence that I can make some the upgrades myself and save the tricky stuff for a pro. Overall, a pretty good experience.
Description of Work: Replaced a damaged outlet and inspected/assessed the electrical system in my 1955 ranch home. Guy, the electrician, was helpful in making suggestions for improvements I can do myself.

Guy Swenson arrived 45 minutes after I made my first phone call. His appearance and demeanor are very professional. I explained the problem and he immediately began diagonosing. I aprreciated all the explanations of what caused our problem and just what he had to do to correct it. He worked constantly, always placing the safety of his work first. I am a very wary customer who demands quality and Swenson Electric provided it.
Description of Work: Guy Swenson diagnosed the GFI outlet that tripped our garage door opener through individual testing of breakers, outlets and other GFI outlets in the house and garage. He explained in detail how our current GFI wiring was most likely tripping the garage door opener and the cause was not in the mechanics of the door itself. He then replaced a breaker and an outlet, tested the performance and after only 2 hours had corrected the problem.
