We were very happy with the service! Sean called me and left me a message by end of day yesterday in response to my request for a quote via Angies List. I called him back this morning, and we got Steve scheduled to come out this afternoon. Steve called ahead to give us an up-to-date eta, and showed up when he said he would. He was friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable, he diagnosed and fixed the issue promptly, and he honored the Angies List discount that I mentioned. Steve also cleaned up the work area when he was finished. Price was as quoted and reasonable. We would definitely use this company again!

We are pleased with the electrical work completed by staff of the Target Electric Company. An estimate was provided based on my description of the services/products needed. Later an install date was scheduled in a timely manner. The electrician, Steve, called ahead to apprise us of his projected arrival. He was prompt, courteous and professional. The work was completed as requested and we would call this company again for future work AND we would refer them to anyone needing electrical work. Thanks so much, Marc and Steve!!! Sincerely, The Graves Family

I explained to Sean all I had done before calling, checked the house's circuit breakers, trouble shot the irrigation system's controller, and replaced the bathroom's GCFI socket to no avail. He suggested I first locate the other GCFI sockets within the house and reset them to see if that will correct the problem before he came out. His suggestion worked and immediately called Sean back to thank him and saving me the cost a of service call.

Response from Target Electric & Solar
Thank you for the positive feedback! We are always happy when we can help over the phone. Some customers do not know about GFCI outlets and how to reset them or breakers on the electric panels at all sometimes and we understand this and try to take time to actually explain the simple steps to a homeowner so they can do everything possible before we have to come out on a service call. We like to help our community and we find the payoff is sometimes satisfaction just to know your safe and happy and that's the key to our company. Give us a call any future electrical, we are here.

Perfect! Sean was very responsive in getting someone out for an estimate quickly. Steve was the electrician who did the estimate and completed the job. He was punctual, professional and obviously knew exactly what he was doing. Super friendly guy too.

We needed extra help in moving the double oven into the house so that Target could install it. Our plan to use an appliance repair store to help didn't work out- way too expensive for a simple job. Sean, Target's owner, was very accommodating and came to the rescue. My husband rented a dolly and helped with the move in. Steve, the Target Electric field supervisor, was terrific! He helped with the move- in, went to Home Depot to get a needed part, knew exactly what he was doing and installed the ovens and tested them and, on top of everything else, was so engaging and delightful..great sense of humor! It couldn't have gone better. We did pay extra for Steve's help with the install and it was well worth it! Thank you Sean and Steve- you are our go-to company for future electrical work :)

Steve was so great from the get go! He had to put in a new "box" to hold the fan properly.and then installed the fan. I live in a house that was built in 1959 and not that well built, so to have an electrician who knows his stuff, was so great! I asked him to return to put in a new kitchen light and will ask for him by name. A total plus is that he loves dogs and was so super great with mine... .anyone who loves dogs is a great person in my eyes. Thank you Target Electric
Description of Work: I needed a ceiling fan in master bedroom. The original had been taken down but the "box" was "bakelite" and was falling apart.

I had a great experience with Target Electric. I have a 40+ year old home which was having electrical outages. Sean opened up the circuit box and showed me all the corrosion that had occurred and was causing the problems. Target was able to replace all the circuit breakers and amazingly many outlets that hadn't worked in years came back to life. I also asked for additional work and my home has been upgraded from ancient florescent lighting to more energy efficient LED's as well as switch plates and outlets. I have so much more light in my kitchen and garage than before. A week later we realized we had not shown them the utility room so they came back and took care of that as well They were also concerned about my pets safety and security during the work. They were so nice and understanding about about my home issues and fixed everything. I think this upgrade also increased my home's value.

Sean was able to determine it was a fuse box issue and fixed it within an hour. Also showed me the build-up of corrosion on other portions inside the box. He gave me a reasonable estimate on replacing them and hopefully bypassing future outages.

Sean came out to do the proposal and came out to do the work. He is really a great electrician, very professional and does clean work. Unfortunately, his journeyman helper (James) arrived more than 2 hours late, seemed half asleep and his work effort wasn't even close to Sean's. Sean was able to minimize any adverse effects from James's work, and keep an upbeat, professional attitude all the while. As a former supervisor, I have to commend Sean for his patience with his employee and staying focused on the customer during the job. With Sean's guidance, James has every chance in the world to improve. In the end, the ceiling fans and security light were installed nicely, work flawlessly, and look great!

I worked with Sean, who was very friendly and thorough, and all projects went extremely well and fast (not to mention that he also did a quick survey of my electrical system). After an initial glitch in the system re initial contact, he maintained prompt communication. Also, he had available for immediate installation all the switches/outlets necessary for the job.

Spoke to Shaun twice (plus left voicemail at office) to set up appointment for estimate. No one showed up. I called office to verify appt, call went to machine, I did not leave message. I took unpaid time from work for this. Would have been a waste, but I used the time to find three more contractors, one of which I hired.

We apologize for any incovienence you may have experienced. However, there was never an official appointment date set. I am available every day to speak with clients about job dates and times including scope of work and we have no set date given for this job. I think there may have been some miscommunications regarding the setting the appointment up officially through our system. We never just dont show up. I am available all the time and our office calls back if a message is left describing any possible situation. We step into action immediately. Please feel free to call me directly if you run into any questions regarding your electrical. We apologize again for your experience.

The service was great. The wiring and j box configuration was goofy and made the DIY job not possible. Sean immediately responded to my request, arrived as scheduled and performed the work flawlessly. He left the work space clean as he found and everything worked perfect. Highly recommend!

James did an excellent job installing a ceiling fan and electrical box (vaulted ceiling). He worked late into the night to get the job done and even came back the next day to patch the drywall. Sean, the owner, was great at communicating any changes and making sure the job was done to my satisfaction.

I used Target Electrics services a few months ago as a result of a coupon I purchased through Angies List. I Purchased approximately eleven (11) LED lights and a new dimmer switch which I needed installed. Since the lights were entire canister units and two of them were in a ceiling approximately 25-30 feet high I felt it necessary to get an electrician with the proper ladder to install everything. The work was completed within the coupon time limit of 2 hours so additional charges were not needed. The Electrician who did the work was quick, very knowledgeable and very professional. If I have a need for other work that requires an Electrician, I would definitely consider hiring Target again. I was very pleased with the work they performed.
