Alan Electric

He did a wonderful job! He charged a very reasonable rate for the quality of work performed. I would highly recommend him!

It went well. My mistake was to not specify that we wanted a dimmer put on. I had mentioned it casually but it wasn't remembered.

They are very professional and the quality of their work was very good.

The most of the electric went out in our master bedroom and bath. I checked the fuse boxes, traced out the wiring, and checked junction boxes. I couldn't find any problem. Eventually, I contacted Alan Electric selected from Angie's list. I had difficulty connecting with him since he was on travel much of the time, and when he was available, I was gone. This went on for a couple of months. He spent a lot of time trying to hunt down the break, eventually just connecting up the dead circuit to another live one that was underloaded. I was going to do the same thing but decided that a more permanent fix was needed. He didn't charge us for the time he spent trying to hunt down the circuit, only the time he spent doing productive work. Outside of the back and forth, I'd use him again because of his price, personality, and thoroughness (important). And he wired up to code, something I wouldn't have done had I done it myself.

He gave us an estimate but then scheduling took a while (maybe a month?) because he was booked up. We were not in any rush so that was fine, and the work also went fine.

The service person came the same day, helped trace circuits from the fuse box, and didn't charge for any unneeded work. We bought a house out of foreclosure and discovered that the prior owner had run 220 service, but converted to 110 behind the wall. We were able to restore the 220 service and just wire in a new receptical. He was prompt, professional and reasonably priced.

He was a great guy and did what he could. We had a faulty heating unit that needed to be sent back to the vendor. He called becuase he was runnibng late which I appreciated. A lot of vedors don't do that.

Over a period of weeks we noticed that the overhead lights in our house got flaky, and eventually stopped working. After some preliminary investigation we decided we needed an electrician. Alan Electric got good reviews on Angies List, so we decided to call. We scheduled an appointment. Dave came and checked out the wiring. He soon figured out that the wiring near the circuit box that feeds the overhead lights needed to be repaired. He finished the job in about an hour and charged a very reasonable rate. We've had no problems since with the lights.

What a great find this guy is! Dave knows his stuff. When we called, it had not been clear what was wrong with the fixture. He assessed the problem carefully and did the work efficiently. We chose to replace both fixtures (they were old), although he said that we could just replace the one that was broken. Then, being a nice guy, he went out to the garage and fixed a problem for my elderly mother (it's her house), which he didn't charge for. He was very pleasant to deal with, and we are relieved to know someone good in the electrical business now. Would recommend and will call him again.

One had to do with our swimming pool cover, and the other was dealing with an AC line socket. He came out on a rainy day and chose to not work on the swimming pool. He did install the AC line socket. He said he would come back another day when it wasn't raining to work on the pool cover, but didn't really seem to be able to handle that problem. I was unhappy that only one of the problems was resolved. He was fairly expensive as well.

He did an excellent work. Dave was the person that came out. He was very prompt and courteous. He scheduled an appointment pretty fast. I would recommend him.

Fantastic. Dave is an absolute gem and I'm sorely tempted not to post on here as I want to make sure he's available! His work is impeccable and he always does it in a respectful and professional manner: letting you know what he's doing and why - unusual these days! I have some more electrical work to do in our new house and he'll be my first call.

Everything was consistent with the quote. He also got us fixed up with another business for some other work. He was reliable.

I am a widowed senior and very electrically challenged! I called Alan Electric (Dave's Company) requesting his service in fixing dimmer switch that operates my kitchen table lights.....5 cylinders in old style track lighting. The switch had been acting erratically off and on and quit working completely a couple of days before I made the call. Alan Electric's Angie list summary indicated a $75/hr rate....which I assumed would be minimum cost for his service call. My kitchen table is a very utilitarian work surface for me. I thought the switch could easily be replaced in an hour and I was willing to pay $75 to have that done to get good lighting back in my kitchen. I called on Wednesday. We scheduled repair work for Thursday. Dave was prompt. He very efficiently replace the switch....in about 10 minutes. Then, knowing that he would charge me for hour of work, he asked if there was anything else I needed looked at or worked on while he was here. I remembered that I had broken contacts in 2 of my fluorescent garage light fixtures while trying to replace the bulbs a month or so ago.(I said I was electrically challenged!) Complicating the repair for me was the access to the fixtures needed to be accomplished using a ladder on a wheelchair ramp(left over remnant of my deceased husband's medical problems).As I now had broken fixtures in addition to burnt out bulbs, I was totally out of my comfort zone both electrically and physically on the particular fixtures involved. And though, my garage wasn't in the dark....as I have 4 fixtures...my lighting was reduced about 25%. Dave took a look at the problem. He thought he had necessary hardware to replace and fix the problem. He did! And the wheel chair ramp did not deter him in the least! He did the repair, put in the replacement bulbs I had on hand, and efficiently finished just shy of an hour total of his time. I appreciated the integrity that he displayed in our business interaction. As he was leaving I told him, he would be at the top of my electrical repairmen listing!

Microwave oven was triggering circuit breaker frequently, especially when kitchen lights were on. Also, the Master BA electrical lights/fan/outlets were unable to turn on, but no circuit breaker. I called Sat morning, he came out Sat afternoon. He spend an hour looking at the 2 problems. Said the 1st would be 3 hrs. Said the 2nd problem - he needed to look at the wiring - that might be an hour. He came back on Thursday to do the work. He ran the new circuit to the breaker - went under the house and then to the breaker which was outside wall of kitchen. 3 hours. The only reason why quality is "B" -- my tenant's father was just in town visiting. He looked at the Master BA and noticed that the GFI was triggered. He pushed reset button and then the electrical came back on. I wonder by on Sat when Dave 1st came by he did not check the GFI reset button first. I feel something so obvious - he should have caught that. The good part is that Dave did not charge me for that -- only for the 3 hours for installing the dedicated circuit. The price is fair at $75/hour. However, there are other electricians out there charging $55/hour. I called Alan electrical b/c he was open on Saturday for house calls. However, if you can wait until weekday, you might try other electricians. He was upfront and honest. I feel he did a good job overall

They were able to come out the same day I called. They were quick and finished without dragging the job into numerous days. I did not meet the workers, but the person I spoke to on the phone were very professional and friendly. I felt for the price I paid, they did a great job. I will consider using this company again in the future.

Alan is an excellent electrician as he is very methodical and has the proper tools to do the work!

Dave is wonderful. He is courteous, clean, punctual, knowledgeable and reasonable priced. I called a few other outfits for some quotes and they were what I though outrageously priced. Dave was reasonable and knowledgeable. He is a very nice man, and a great electrician. I would recommend him.

He is honest, doesn't overcharge, and when we called in the morning he said he could not do the work today, but could come over and look to see what needed to be done, which he did. And then came back the following afternoon.

Excellent. Dave was extremely helpful and informative, made several trips to the house, performed the work quickly and professionally, offered lots of advise, and cut the price of the bill when the work was done! He is absolutly the best, and we are looking forward to hiring him again to complete the interior electrical work.

Very good. It took Dave about 4 hours in total to install the fan, light, and outdoor light. He only charged me for 3 hours of work because we had a delay when trying to "balance" the fan. We also had some good conversations and laughs as I was present and helped out a bit along the way.

Cared about the quality. Worked hard, good value.

There was attic access to the ceiling areas for the new ceiling fans and the new light fixture. However, there was not direct access overhead to where the desired locations for the wall switches were. He and I got creative, and found solutions. In several places, there was overhead access to the wall outlet that had been controlled by the wall switch, so the electrical connection to the switch could be made behind these previously-switched outlets. In one case we couldn't do this, so he put a new wall switch in the best place that was accessible (though it was not near the doorway to that room.) He does not do dry-wall work, but with the creative solutions and his care in cutting holes of the smallest size needed for the job, there ended up not being any dry-wall repair needed. I was pleased with the overall results.

I called Dave early in the week. We scheduled the appt. for Sat. morning. He arrived on time and did the work in under an hour. Very pleasant.

I called Dave to ask about installing an electrical outlet in the attic, so that I could put a network switch there and fan out the network connection to the rest of the house. We set up a time for him to come out and look. It turned out to be simple enough that he installed it on the spot, using materials in his truck, and just charged the one-hour rate. I couldn't have been happier.
