Phil returned our call promptly, came to the house at the agreed time, and got right to work. He was very quick and did a high quality job at a reasonable price. All our electrical work will go to Phil from now on.

Excellent customer service from start to finish. Will use again and recommend to anyone who needs a electrician.
Description of Work: I had power out in part of my home and was not able to figure out what the problem was. I called about 8:00 AM and spoke with a nice lady who took my information & said Phil would call me back. Phil called me within 30 minutes & was able to come to my home the same morning. Within 3 hours of my call Phil had fixed the problem. A great thanks!

He came promptly for the "free estimate". However, after my husband showed him what we needed done and a few minutes of talking, he then went on to say that if we didn't take his bid he would be charging us $80 for coming out and doing the estimate. We mentioned the free estimate and he stated "Well, I've told you too much now and I charge $80/hr" He stated that he gave us too much knowledge about what needed done to complete the job. Well, we have no electrical knowledge or we wouldn't have contacted an electrician in the first place. He called back 2 days later with an exact bid which was well above what we had budgeted for job. I was rather displeased with the interaction to say the least.

Response from THE ELECTRIC MAN
I was called out to hook up some wires not for a free estimate. When I arrived the homeowner had ran some old used wires and wanted me to hook them up, the wiring was not up to code and I would not hook them up unless it was safe and the homeowner got upset. After spending over an hour with him explaining his problems he then asked for a free estimate. At that point I knew he just wanted free information so he could finish the job himself I told him I would give him an estimate but for the diagnosis I usually charge a fee but in this case all he wanted to know was how to hook it up. I never charged him for my services.

From the moment of arrival, and right on time, he was very courteous and outgoing...we talked for a while and than he went right to work...from that point on it was work until done. All completed in about an hour later, and the estimate was what was charged...We are very happy with Phil (the electric man) and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others...

The Electric Man was able to fix both issues. He came out the afternoon we called and started immediately working on the issue. He came back the next morning following P,G&E disconnecting the power at the pole and removing the meter and replaced the unit in the P,G&E box. P,G&E came back out following the repair, stated everything looked great and turned the power back on. Everything has worked as it should since that point. We were impressed with his promptness, pricing, knowledge and skill. We will be hiring The Electric Man in the future for some other electrical work that we will be needing done in the future. A great guy and a terrific job,
Description of Work: We had an issue where power in 1/2 of the house was going out sporadically. It turns out that we had two issues. We have two meters with a generator hooked up to both in the event of a power outage, The wires that were ran between the two boxes were causing a back feed to the house. The second issue was that a bar inside the PG&E box had come loose and had melted part of the bar in the box. The bar was sometimes not touching causing one leg of the power to the house to go out.

dPhil came out initially to conduct a Home Electrical Inspection in order to determine the extent to which repairs and additions would cost. The price of the inspection was $175.00, but was well worth it. Phil identified problem areas which were previously unknown as well as troubleshooting known issues. We then set up a series of three additional appointments in order to complete repairs and install new lighting and heaters. All in all Phil did a fantastic job in a very proficient manner. The only issue that came up, and really it was a non-issue, was that Phil was unable to arrive at the specified time for two of the appointments due to emergency calls. This did not affect the timeliness of the work completed nor its quality and was understandable as Phil is a one-man operation. I would hire him back again and plan to do so in the next few months for further work. Thanks again, Phil!
Description of Work: Home inspection: $175.00 Repaired burned out circuit, replaced central lighting with ceiling fans in two bedrooms, installed ceiling fan in living room where no central lighting existed, installed central lighting in dinning room where no central lighting existed, replaced two existing wall heaters with new wall heaters, repaired two non-functioning circuits, repaired and replaced portions of panel box, replaced multiple outlets with correct outlets: $994.00.

He was excellent. It cost $1500 for the garage, but we haven't been billed for the other yet. He was very prompt, very knowledgeable, very efficient and worth every penny. He did quality work. The price was average.

i was very impressed with his upbeat attitude. He found a problem I wasn't aware of and corrected it. He also took care of a couple of little jobs such as changing some bulbs I couldn't reach and replacing some screws. What a nice man! Electricity can be scary but I feel safer now. Thank you so much!

Actually it was a pleasant experience and I gleaned a lot of information. Mr. Electric Man was prompt and courteous. Repaired and gave advise on how to be more safety oriented around the home.
Description of Work: Electrical outlets not working in two rooms. Mr. Electric Man checked, and fixed circuit breakers. Checked all outlets in house and outside and garage. Was a font of information, described dos and don'ts and what what to look for and to turn off power strips when not using. Very safety oriented.

Response from THE ELECTRIC MAN
I’m sorry this customer found me to be unprofessional. But I don’t think not having and old style ballast in my very stocked van should make me unprofessional. I take pride in being very professional when I come to your home. I pulled my records from this job and found the customer had called us on March 1, 2005 not June 17, 2009 and wanted me to replace his kitchen fixture that was giving him problems, I let him know that I may be able to fix the fixture without replacing it and that I don’t carry a lot of fixtures or fans with me, there are so many different kinds but I would come out and take a look, I only live down the road. I went by the same day he called and found two older style light fixture ballasts were bad, I did not have the older style ballast so I picked two up and installed them that same day and everything was fine. I repaired the fixtures he wanted replaced for $125.00 to replace the fixtures would have cost him about $225.00 I think I was reasonable and professional and so do the rest of my Angie’s List posts. Some things may have been lost in translation due to her post was Transcribed from a telephone interview and the job was 7 years ago.

The project went extremely well from beginning to end.
Description of Work: We had a problem with two different bathroom fans that hadn't worked for some time. Phil was quick, competent, and mindful of alternatives to fix the problem. He went to Home Depot to buy some components that did not work. However, he came up with a different and cheaper way to fix the two bathroom fans. He was great and reasonable. He also fixed a problem with a water heater clock that had never kept good time.
