This is Rhett Higgins second time to our house for this type of tricky electrical work. His technical competence, attention to detail and cleanliness of the finished installation is outstanding.
Description of Work: Rewired a bathroom outlet box, fished a doorbell wire down an outside wall, adjusted a security camera and isolated a house grounding problem that has been plaguing our home since it was built (1978)..

I had previously had them install new electrical outlets, attic fan, new recessed lighting and ceiling fans so when it came time to replacing some old recessed lighting I knew who to call. They are not the cheapest but when it comes to electrical work I don't want to go with the lowest bidder. Rhett and Jason show up on time, do as little damage as possible, and clean up real good. They are my electrical go to guys and worth every penny. I have recommended them to a friend and he agreed that they are top notch.

A tad pricey, Higgins are pros. Show up on time and know what they are doing. I would use them for any cable and sound system install work. Simply excellent.
Description of Work: Installed two coax cable feeds, one for Dish and one for Cable. Did what the cable installers won't do: fished the cables through the attics and walls so that they were invisible.

We got them from Angie's List. Our overall experience with them was fine. They explained what they were going to do. They helped me figure out a lot of stuff I didn't know; I didn't know a lot of stuff was being charged to the house. The power outlets in two of the garages were being charged to me. So if they would add a refrigerator in there, I would have been paying for that. They helped me figure that out and we rewired so that they would have to pay for whatever they were using in the garage and not me. That probably saved me a lot of money overall in the long run.
Description of Work: Higgins Electric Inc. did some rewiring for us. We had quite a bit of work done. We had some GFI outlets installed. We also changed some fans in the bathrooms. There was a 4-unit apartment building we had, and a lot of the wiring was being charged to the owner. So we had to rewire everything so that each was charged properly.

I spoke with Rhett and he came right away to check the work needed; that same day he sent the quote. Since my working hours arehectic , he was nice enough to work around it. I called him one night and asked him if he could do the job the next day and after consulting with his help he agreed to come early the next day. Rhett, Jason and another gentleman were punctual and started to work right away until the job was done. I was very satisfied with their work and if I need some electrical work again I will not hesitate to call them

Since I was not able to be home my parents were and they were very impressed by his puntuality, his professionalism, and how accomadating he was to them. While he was there my dad had him fix the back porch light and was super happy that he did that. we had not had a back porch light for about 15 years. My dad is a hard person to really handle when it comes down to it, and he really loves to complain, however he has had no complaints after. All it was is praises. Which is nice since he's still talking about them 2 days later. NO ONE CAN MAKE MY DAD HAPPY, so I would highly recommend this company.
Description of Work: He fixed some sagging lines from the house to the garage as well as checked the circuit breakers since our lights in the house never went on after we turned everything off. In addition my dad asked him to finish installing the light on the back porch and he did that as well.

I left a message and received an immediately return call. Mr. Higgigs answered all of my questions and provided a verbal quote. He then said he would email the quote to me which was sent almost immediately. I explained I had a small attic and he said he would have his son and a smaller employee do the work. It was scheduled for 8:00a.m. the following morning and both of the electricians came slightly early. They were courteous, professional, efficient and cleaned up perfectly. This was a very smooth experience and I would definitely recommend them to anyone. There was nothing to improve upon - they were great!

Rhett and his team (his son and one other gentleman)--as well as his wife Janet--are the consummate family business. They are professional, friendly, honest, responsive, affordable...I cannot say enough about how great they were, and how fortuitous it was that we found them. I called Higgins on Monday morning and spoke with Janet. I told her a little bit about what we needed, and she said she would call Rhett and let him know. He called me within the hour and came within another hour to look at the job. We are in the middle of a kitchen renovation and the walls were being finished, and were almost done, when it became apparent we couldn't go on without fixing the forty-yr-old and quot;home-madeand quot; wiring job the previous owner had done in the house. Our general contractor had brought someone in who said we needed to replace the entire panel with something much larger and more expensive. Since I didn't feel comfortable with that quote, I began searching diligently on Angie's List. I found Rhett and his son Jason, and not only did they do the appropriate work needed, they did it in record time and came in well below what the other guy quoted me--oh, and it's all and quot;to codeand quot;. The responsiveness, the immediate understanding of what we needed, the honesty, friendliness...all of this is why I would not only HIGHLY recommend Higgins to anyone needing electrical work--and they are NOT just and quot;handymenand quot;, they TRULY know what they are doing--but will use them for all my electrical needs in the future. This is exactly what Angie's List is for, and finally I am glad to be a part of it.
Description of Work: Re-wire entire kitchen, re-distributing electrical loads (circuits), fixing old (read: BAD) wiring/lighting...all in ONE DAY.

I had a great experience with this company. I called and they were very responsive. We made an appointment and they were punctual. They charged me the same amount that they had quoted, except for a minor cost adjustment due to the cost of the part they needed. They did call me though and notify me of the price change. Also, they did the work quickly and professionally without trying to "sell" me on additional work. Everything seems to be working great so far. It's been about two weeks since they did the work and we haven't experienced any problems so far. Overall, I would highly recommend this company.

Rhett ad his son came out very quickly to do the work and did great work. We handled everything by phone and I left him a key to do the work on 3 different occasions. We never met in person but he seemed to understand everything I wanted to do and did everything exactly the way I wanted. I think the pricing was reasonable as well. From our conversations safety was stressed more so than other guys. Would hire again and in fact will ask him to do my recessed lighting

Rhett Higgins arrived within an hour of my call. He identified the source of the problem (an open at a wire nut in one of the outlet boxes) and had the circuit fixed in a matter of minutes. He charged me his minimum fee, which he told me when I originally called. I couldn't possibly ask for a better experience in any regard and will definitely call again for any future work needed.
Description of Work: Troubleshoot and repair circuit with eight of eleven outlets not working. In an attempt to fix the problem myself, I replaced all the AC outlets on the subject circuit of my 40+ year old house since they were all so worn out that plugs would simply fall out (2GFCI and 9Standard). When the problem remained unchanged, I called Higgins.

He spent nearly an hour thoroughly checking all parts of the circuit and finally determined that the pump is burned-out. He had plenty of opportunity to charge me for other parts (he doesn't do pool pumps) but in his honesty he only charged me for his time at what I consider to be a very fair rate, especially in light of the fact that he was here less than an hour after I first spoke to him on the phone. He returned my initial call within a couple of hours.
Description of Work: Higgins Electric (Rhett Higgins) examined the circuit breaker, manual control switches, the automatic switch timer, the pump, and all the interconnecting wiring for my pond/pool pump circuit.

Over the 40+ years since our house was originally built, a variety of additional electrical loads (air conditioning, multiple pool pumps, etc.) were added that could not have been anticipated by the builders when they installed the original electrical service panel. Plus, a previous owner had added on to the house, further increasing the loads on the original service panel. Blown circuit breakers and other electrical problems were a constant reminder that we needed to remedy the situation, both for our convenience and for our safety. When a representative from our electric company came out to locate our underground service lines in anticipation of some excavation on our property, he strongly recommended we replace the service panel as soon as possible! We called Higgins Electric. A detailed bid was prepared and in our hands within a matter of days of our original telephone call. The scope of work proposed was also discussed and explained in great detail. Work began within days of our acceptance of their bid. They showed up early, with city permit in hand. Everything they needed to complete the job was on their truck. They finished the panel installation in one long day (we had a stucco contractor patch the wall separately). The house had been converted at some point from overhead service to underground and a separate sub-panel had been added on the outside of the wall adjacent to the main panel. There were conduits and wires going everywhere - it was a mess. The Higgins crew quickly and professionally removed the old service panels, exterior conduits, etc. and replaced them with a modern and much larger (physically and capacity wise) 200 amp surface-mounted main panel which has plenty of room and capacity to accommodate our planned remodel of our house. They also checked every circuit before they were finished and they labeled all of the circuit breakers so that we could easily determine which powers what. They also changed the panel grounding to comply with current codes and when they were finished, they carefully cleaned up after themselves. When we get around to remodeling our house, Higgins Electric will be our electrical contractor of choice. In addition to adding new circuits, lighting, etc. we plan to have them install broadband data ports, cable TV lines, and other convenience items in many of the rooms. We have used Higgins Electric before, both for smaller jobs and one that was substantially more complex and expensive. They were highly recommended to us and they have lived up to their recommendation! They always do the job right, the very first time! There are never any surprises! We wouldn't even think of calling anyone else!
Description of Work: Higgins Electric removed our antiquated and problematic 135 amp electrical service panel, plus an adjacent sub-panel and conduits that were mounted on the outside of the wall. In their place, Higgins Electric installed one flush-mounted 200 amp electrical service panel. They also rerouted the grounding for the panel from the rear of the house to the front to comply with current codes.

Returned all calls promptly, had proposals in writing and detailed. My wife changed her mind twice. No problem Rhett gave new proposals. We agreed on last proposal, Rhett ordered all lights and we agreed on day to start. They arrived on time and finished in reasonable amount of time, cleaned up as they worked, made sure work was done to our satisfaction. Very professional and friendly. Will use again and recommend to all. Thanks Rhett and son on job well done.
