Budget Electric was a surprise company as they were very helpful and did a great job installing our charger for our Tesla. They were very professional, quick, and watching how to get the job done with the least cost.

Description of Work: Installed light fixture in stairwell. I had actually purchased a deal from another electrician through Angie's List. They were unable to do the job because they didn't have a big enough ladder. Angie's List assigned the job to Budget Electric and they did a great job. They didn't show up on time but other than that they were excellent.

.See above.
Description of Work: Fixed switches, installed timers, fixed outlets, fixed light fixture. Seemed fine until it was clear one of the timers was not working. The company came 4 (yes four) times to repair, replace, reset the timer and it still doesn't work - they use very cheap products from Home Depot. If I had had my own timer I think there would have been no problem, but I probably won't call Budget again.

Description of Work: Upgraded panel and brought it up to Code by adding a ground link . The copper wire should of been strung under the house, or have some kind of fasteners in place. It current is just laying along the side of the house. That might be the way it is suppose to be, but looks tacky. They did a good job otherwise.
