Three different electricians did the various projects at different times--Adam, Mike, and Eric. All three were professional, friendly, and efficient with the use of their knowledge, skill and time. They completed every task on my list AND corrected some things that I hadn't even noticed. They truly went above and beyond. I highly recommend them for your next electrical project.

We needed a full load center upgrade after losing power in one room, and subsequently finding out the breaker box was an absolute mess and a hazard. That's what we get for buying a flipped house. I requested quotes from multiple providers, only United and one other actually completed the quotes. United's Quote was $400 less than the competitor. Even then, the competitor took 2 weeks longer to complete just THE QUOTE. United had the quote done a few days after my request. United's Staff were thorough, arrived early, and completed the project on time. Power was turned off at 8am, back on at about 4pm. Staff even stayed on site when it was done to work with me to ensure the new breakers were labeled correct (thanks to being a flip, the house has some very weird wiring.) I will absolutely hire them again for any work I need that requires a licensed electrician.

Fantastic, despite the age of the box and the home, Adam was able to make the needed repairs and save us a weekend without A/C. He made multiple trips between our home and his shop to search for unusual items and coordinate with TEP to make sure we had our power back. He was kind, concerned, professional and very skilled. Even after a long day with other emergencies he had handled all day, he kept on working on our problem until it was corrected

Mr. [Member Name Removed], We apologize that the QUOTE you received was not to your liking. We are a little confused at the issue, you have listed misinformation on this review regarding the interaction you had with our company. We quoted you to install an outlet for your RV as well as swapping out the sub-panel in your shop, a very reasonable price of $984.00 to do it all. That is 6 hours of labor and cost of materials, making sure that the project was up to current code standards. Nothing to do with fan install. We are disappointed that you chose not to use us for the project, we are concerned why you chose to give an unfavorable review on work that was never completed for you by our company.

By and large, very well. Only the drum switch replacement didn't go, and that was because I had the wrong type motor. They isolated or fixed the problems with the outside lights. They're coming back to finish the problems with the lights and rewire them to code.
Description of Work: checking for stray currents, shorts or moisture getting into circuits, getting some outside lights working, rewiring a couple electric motors, putting a reversing switch on an electric motor.
Description of Work: James Massingill did great work. He overdelivered in the amount of work . He did extra work within the hours we estimated . I appreciated his customer service skills. he listened and tried accommodating me needs explaining what we could do to make according to the code. His electrician skills are superior and you can see it when you look at him working . He does not like to be watched (which is sweat) so trust him and let him do the job. He also knew how to lead his helpers, I am a teacher myself and appreciate when others coach his apprentices. I appreciated that too. I would and will hire United Electric again. His helpers were Ryan and Alex, I have only good things to say about the entire team. A handyman quoted me as much as United electric! So yes, these guys are competitive and will survive if they keeping their quality and costs of work at the level they delivered it to me. My job was a total of two days.

It went extremely well. James, Conroy and Ryan did a wonderful job in my kitchen running 2 new lines in order to relocate 10 outlets preparatory to our having a new backsplash installed. They also installed under cabinet lites. I could not have been more pleased with the quality of the work and the quality of the people. James did an excellent job of problem solving whenever they ran into a temporary road block. His professional bearing and solid work ethic were evident from the start.The team worked together very smoothly and anticipated each other's needs along the way. The lead man saw to it that the work kept moving along and also did a good job of utitlizing the talents of the others. Everyone on the team was hard working and friendly as could be.They were also speedy which we greatly appreciated. One thing that meant a lot to us was the level of communication they provided to us. At each major juncture of the project, we were told exactly what was going on and what would be done to address the issue. They were prompt (arriving just a tad before the appointed time) and they cleaned up beautifully after each days work. They were straight forward about what it would cost and we thought it was totally reasonable. I had 2 other estimates but I am so happy I chose United Electric. I really don't know what else anyone could expect. The company secretary is also extremely pleasant and professional. I give them all an A+++++ and would recommend them to anyone. .

An electrician came out and could find nothing. I was charged $131 for labor and have no problem with that. He suggested I replace older lights and have wiring to lights and connections checked. I did this at a cost of $556. After finishing that work, the workers said "gee, you've got a lot on that circuit; maybe you should just put the exterior lights on a different circuit." The problem continued so i followed their advice at a cost of $177. I have no problem with the quality of their work, but why wasn't the option of a new circuit mentioned at the first visit? Ignorance or greed?
Description of Work: When exterior lighting would activate at night, circuit would occasionally blow affecting those lights as well as my garage lights, door and some lights in the house.

My experience with United Electric was A+ in every way. Ashley scheduled the initial estimate and then kept me updated on the progress of each aspect of the project. She was awesome and such an asset to the company. Adam and his staff James, Ryan and Alex were absolutely professional in everything they did. Their impeccable work was completed thoroughly and timely as promised. I couldn't have been more pleased with their honesty and integrity. If you need a first rate electrician and a hard working team in your corner then United Electric is the one for you! Thank you all so much for your fine work. Dee Veale

United Electric’s office responded very quickly to my inquiry. The electricians they sent over to do the work were professional and very personable. They understood what I was trying to accomplish and even offered some helpful suggestions to improve the overall project. The final price for the job was less than a competing bid from a general handyman service. I would highly recommend this company.

The team of 2 called ahead and arrived at the scheduled time. They tried to repair and it didn't work, so they replaced the fan. They needed a foot-long spacer too drop the fan, and it didn't come in the box. I ran to Home Depot and bought one. They replaced the fan. They charged me for two hours of work (they were there that long) PLUS a previously undisclosed 1/2 hour travel charge of $50. I. thought that was excessive.

I have used United Electric previously and had been very impressed. So, when it came time to having electrical wiring issues with exterior lights, I called United again. Very professional and responsive. James had finished the job before mine and called to say he was running early and would it be okay if he arrived 45 min ahead of schedule. At this point, I would not go anywhere else for electrical needs.

Very pleased! As most of us don't have electrical work done regularly it's a challenge to find a contractor you're comfortable with. My job actually came in a bit under the estimate and was completed expertly with no drama. The technician was also training an apprentice which I was happy to see. All in all an excellent experience!

Horribly... when technician came on site they determined a part was needed that was back at office. They needed to reschedule and add an additional trip charge. when I stated I wanted to cancel because of this unforeseen additional cost, they still charged me for coming out but not performing any work.

[Member Name Removed], Let me start by saying I'm sorry you feel this way. I want to inform you that you called us out for an estimate which we ALWAYS charge a small fee for any estimates out in Vail, (as it takes over an hour to get to your location) which you can use toward your bill, in which I did not charge you. I showed up on time, gave you a very reasonable estimate to install your customer supplied fan. When the technician showed up to start the work, he found that the fan that you supplied was missing the bracket that you said you threw away. This is the bracket the ceiling fan hangs from. (If we supplied the fan, it would have all parts included an no additional trips would have to be made) At that point he informed you of your options which was to run to the nearest hardware store and get a new bracket or reschedule when we can bring an extra bracket from our shop which we offered to give to you for free but because you live in Vail, we would have to charge a trip fee. At that point you called the office and asked to cancel the job, while on the phone with you we explained that because we already arrived, started the job and the fact that the fan you supplied was missing materials we would still have to charge you a minimum service fee and at that point you hung up on us. And to top it off in an effort to try and work with you I discounted the fee by almost half.
