John did a great job and the finished product looks nicer than I expected - as far as I'm concerned he went the extra mile. He came to diagnose the problem the day after I called and came the very next day to do the repairs. He called to let me know when he was coming - communication was excellent. I will recommend John and Aries Electric to my neighbors.
Description of Work: Breaker tripped. John diagnosed the problem and fixed the problem that was a short on a remote building next to the house. He fixed the bad wire, put in two nice junction boxed and stapled the wire onto the side of the shed to keep it off the ground.

Great. He explained and showed me what he was doing. He also tightened the screws on all of the other breakers (some were a little loose). John was very professional. I will call next time I need anything electrical done.
Description of Work: Replaced a damaged/burnt circuit breaker and connecting wire, as well as an adjacent circuit breaker that had been damaged.

Outstanding. John took all the components out of the new box and installed them in the old box because it would take him less time to do it this way. He also asked if that was okay before moving forward with that. He wasn't looking to milk the job. He was looking for the most efficient way to get it done well and safely.
Description of Work: Swimming pool control box replacement including new breakers and GFI outlet.

John answered my call promptly, and we made an appointment for the next day. He arrived on time, and was able to repair the panel by replacing the breakers. He saved me the cost of replacing the service panel by moving breakers around to undamaged portions of the bus bar. Very happy with the result.

Lost electricity from a large tree falling and taking out the line from our pole to PG&E. This happened while we were in Colorado so the power had been of for several days when we returned late Thursday night and found a note saying we had to have area around the power pole cleared and the damage repaired. Friday we cleared the area and started calling electric contractors. John Kilgour answered our call and agreed to come out the next morning (Saturday) he arrived on time and was finished by noon. Good work and fair price.
Description of Work: Repaired storm damage to riser and weather head on our utility pole and restored electric connection to meter socket. All passed county inspection.

John was punctual, knowledgeable, and extremely professional. He worked quickly and cleanly. He even removed his shoes before walking on our light-colored carpets without being asked. (Ladies, he's your guy!) From start to finish, the job took only 30 minutes. I highly recommend this service provider and will certainly call him again in the future.
Description of Work: John diagnosed a problem with one of our outlets that had been wired improperly when the house was constructed in 2008. Once he had finished troubleshooting, he gave us an explanation of the situation in laymen terms and provided a detailed estimate of the cost of the repair.

I contacted the business owner and he was able to provide service later that morning. He arrived on time, was very professional and offered us options for repair. He provided a time frame and price before beginning the work. His work was excellent and was completed in less time than quoted. I have worked with this business in the past and had the same excellent experience. We will use this business in the future and highly recommend Aries electric.

From initial contact to complete, satisfactory solution, less than 24 hours passed. John was punctual (actually earlier than the window he gave), professional and obviously knowledgeable in his craft. He promptly diagnosed the problem I had originally called him to fix and made the necessary repairs quickly and efficiently. I had another problem with a different light that I asked him to look at. He diagnosed the problem and told me the repair could be expensive, given the amount of time necessary to find an open neutral line somewhere. He came up with an alternate solution that solved my lighting problem without the necessity to spend an inordinate amount of money that was safe and efficient. Great service, I would use him again in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: I had a problem I could not resolve with my exterior house lights. John quickly diagnosed the problem and made the necessary repairs to resolve the issue. In addition, I had another problem with a different exterior light which he also resolved.

We had a bathroom renovation completed the previous March. Unfortunately the contractor's brother was his electric sub, so we were strong armed into using him even though we wanted John to do the work from the beginning. The sub did not install the underfloor heating the way it should have been done, and whenever we used it, it would trip the breaker and cut power to the whole bathroom. John is always professional, courteous, and explains everything. He has even done work on July 4th when my husband accidentally cut power to the whole house. His response time was extra quick since it was 104 degrees that day! I always appreciate the his friendly demeanor, and I trust him with all of our electrical needs!!!
Description of Work: John has come out several times for us to do various jobs. This time he fixed the underfloor heating unit by putting it on its own circuit. In addition to installing a new breaker panel.

John was very professional. He arrived on time. He knew exactly what the problem was. He ran tests and problem solved. I needed other advice about electrical services and he gave me a few estimates of what it would cost me. Overall, I was a happy camper and will use John again, if I need any electrical done! Thank you, John!

I was very impressed with the professionalism and expertise that John showed when I walked him through the house and explained my problems. He was able to fix a problem that a previous electrician was unable to troubleshoot correctly, and handled the other things that my wife had been asking me to get fixed for the last 6 months. As a Real Estate Agent, I need to have a list of good referral sources when my clients call me with propblems. I have referred Aeries Electric to three other clients over the last year and they all have been satisfied with the work that John has done for them.
Description of Work: Performed troubleshooting on a GFI that was not operating properly and fixed it, added a new 220 plug for my dryer, switched out old breakers at my main panel and ran wire and added a switch for a new ceiling fan in bedroom.

Response from Aries Electric
A very nice family, they were easy to work for and very appreciative of the work completed. As a realtor he has contacted me on other projects involving homes for sale, working with a deadline, to correct inspection issues.

He knew exactly what we needed, He ran a new covered line from our circuit breaker to our outside wall (exactly where we wanted to put the freezer). He finished in a couple of hours on the same day!! I really thought it would have cost more, but he was honest, approachable, and experienced. It's nice to see that there is still trustworthy people who are more interested in a customers needs then the mighty $$. I will definitely use his services in the future.
Description of Work: Our refrigerator went out and all of our food was sitting in ice chests. So we decided to buy a new stand-alone freezer for the overload of food. We realized that we only had outlets in the garage and nothing outside under our RV access. With no room in the garage, we didn't know what we were going to do. So we contacted John from Aries Electric (referral), who then installed another electrical outlet to our outside wall.

I manage multiple rental properties from commercial to residential and have used Aries Electric for all my electrical work for over ten years now. John the owner has always been very reliable, professional and his work is always done right. He has done just about every type of electrical work for me from extensive panel replacements, wiring an entire home, ceilings fans and even replacing a broken light switch.

My rental needed an electrical upgrade so I turned to John to bring my house into the twenty-first century, he was on-time and he worked with my schedule to complete the job in a short time frame, to my satisfaction. I would reccommend him to any homeowner or landlord for any electrical job!
Description of Work: John Kilgour installed four ceiling fans, that I purchased, wired a 20A circuit for my refrigerator, he wired in a 220V circuit for my clothes dryer, and installed two light fixtures in my kitchen, that I also purchsed.

Enjoyed working with this Property investor, made the repairs he requested, The electrical panel was commercial grade. The owner wanted to update the equipment, so he wouldn't have to worry in the future. Informed him that he had nothing concern himself with, his electrical panel was of very high quality and in excellent condition, there was no need to replace.
