The tech did a lot of checking on the light fixtures and couldn't find anything. The problem still exists. When I turn the lights on in the back room the lights come on and then instantaneously dim. After doing a lot of research of the problem on the internet this is not an easy solution. You need some experience. The tech they sent was a young kid who has not been around much. Very nice and punctual and seemed to know the basic of electrical work, but I think this problem takes someone with some "whiskers". When I described the problem to an old time electrician the first thing he said was. "Uh oh!", in terms of trying to find the ground or short or whatever is causing the problem. Edison has already been out to check the connection at the pole and they said it is fine. 8/20/13 Follow-up report. As a result of my review, Mitch the owner of Intelectric came out to look at the problem. Right away he correctly diagnosed the problem as being the flourescent bulbs. I was impressed with his professionalism and desire to address the problem promptly. MItch has lots of experience and obviously has "been around the block".
Description of Work: Troubleshot a dimming light issue and couldn't find the solution.

From start to finish the project went very smoothly. The only delays were the EV Charger's lead time, and DWP inspector's work load. Both of these I might add were not Intelectric's fault. The front office and the technicians are very dedicated, and professional. I proudly recommend Intelelectric for your residential, or commercial electrical requirements.
Description of Work: I purchased a Nissan Leaf electric vehicle in January 2013. Because of the lead times required to purchase the EV Charging Station Intelectric first installed a 117Volt 17 amp plug off the circuit breaker box as a stop gap measure to recharge the car's batteries. When the 240 Electric Volt charging station was delivered to Intelectric they promptly installed it. They also took care of the paperwork for the DWP (Department of Water and Power), and arranged for the inspector to inspect the installation.

He came on time and was professional but it seemed to take him a really long time. He went over the 2 hours I had purchased by 1 hour and with that he still hadn't put the cover back on for the fan. He said there was a short and I would need to go find a new switch. No offer to get the part and come finish the job. So after 3 hours I was still left with 1 outlet not completed.
Description of Work: I just needed someone to put in new light switches and covers for 5 outlets in my kitchen. I had all the supplies there and it was a cosmetic change - not due to a problem.

Excellent. They arrived promptly on all three occasions. They are professional and courteous. They got everything done on our list. As mentioned above, they solved a ling-time problem that other electricians had not been able to fix, Highly recommend Intelectric.
Description of Work: Numerous lighting and electical issues: They assessed longt-time problems with some of our outside lights and replaced an inadequate timer system that controls some of these lights - I have had three other electricians look at this in the past and they had all said they couldn't find the problem as to why the lights didn't work - these guys determined the problem and fixed it by installing a new timer system on the outside of the house in a special weather proof box; they replaced a damaged outlet in the garage; they replaced many bulbs in the house which require special treatment. In all, they came three times to complete the job since they had to order parts.

Just to say this early, and I will say it often, they did a fantastic job! We moved into a wonderful house that had last been wired in the late 1950's. This meant that the entire house needed to be rewired, outlets needed to be replaced (there were few three prong outlets, and no GFI ones in the bathrooms, kitchen, nor out doors!) the breaker panel needed upgrading, the fire alarms and many lights were not up to code, and then there was the cosmetic changes we wanted to make. I called and set up an appointment, and the owner came out and walked through the whole house, room by room, and the outside. Within a few days we had an estimate and work started. One the first day of work the owner showed up with the two man crew, and we went room by room, switch by switch, outlet by outlet, and light by light so that all us were on the same page. The arranged for DEB to come out and indicate where the panel box should be moved to and applied for the permit! The same supervisor came and worked on the house everyday, often with a co-worker. They worked hard and did a great job! As is common with most jobs it ended up taking a little longer and cost a little more that originally discussed. But this was due primarily to the inspectors additional requirements (more outlets, dimmer switches in bedrooms, motion sensors in bathrooms, motion and light sensors on exterior lights, etc.) and some additions that came to us as the work progressed. The crew was friendly, hard working and clean, and the owner came by multiply times during the job! This is a family run business (the husband and wife own and run it) with a crew of employees that have been with them a long time! I would recommend them, and use them again!
Description of Work: The excellent job that Intelectric did for us!

Problem popped up in the middle of the day. Found the company on Angie's List. They were close, and had excellent ratings. Called to see if they could come that day, since this was the Friday before what is effectively a four day holiday, due to Christmas falling on Tuesday. The office said would have to check, and would call me back. They called back within 10 minutes and said that someone would be there within the hour. The electrician (Mitch, the owner) showed up in 45 minutes. He had a helper. They diagnosed the problem quickly, and were able to make the repair quickly, also. Everything seems to be working correctly now. Good experience, great service, will definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Various overhead lights and wall outlets were going out intermittently. Mitch (the owner) located the problem (loose connections due to improperly installed wire nuts), and fixed it by resplicing all the connections in a junction box located in the ceiling above a light fixture.

Very prompt, very professional. But the price seemed high. However, these days it's difficult to find an electrician who doesn't charge an arm and a leg. At least we haven't found one yet.
Description of Work: We moved into our new house recently. One of our light switches got hot after the lights were turned on. The switch was changed to one that could carry a heavier load and now heating up is not an issue. They also changed an outlet that our dishwasher was plugged in. We got an estimate for having extra circuits taken to a bedroom to accommodate a space heater's energy needs.

I called to find out how much it would be to have a light fixture swapped out. I explained that i already had the old one down and just needed the new one connected. She explained they have a minimum service charge of $115. Even though they are right around the corner from me she turned down on an exception. What happened to good old fashioned customer service? I could have been a gold mine for this company in the near future and they lost out.

Always punctual with returned phone calls and appointment times, Mitch and the gang took all the work and worry out of my hands and did an amazing job. They did the work while I was out of town, and even though they ran into a snag, they were able to solve the problem according to code and complete the job. I was able to come back to a home where I could use the power without fear of death. A little over the top... I know. Thanks guys!

Intelectric is fantastic! They are very helpful as well as professional, prompt, and reasonably priced. The owner, Mitch, came to fix a failed main power breaker. They rearranged his schedule so that he could come the day I called. He came within the earlier time window, and fixed the problem quickly, and professionally.We have used them before; thankfully not too recently, and they will continue to be our first choice.

They were professional and courteous, and of all the estimates I received for this work, I was most impressed with Rob and his assessment of the job and what was needed to complete it. He knew the right questions to ask me, and he answered all of my questions thoroughly. During the job, the staff arrived on time and worked diligently, and they made sure to clean all areas where they were working at the end of each day. The job took the estimated length of time. They helped obtain appropriate permits. The price was competitive. During the project, we hit a few snags here and there--they are just a part of any construction job, I think--but Intelectric was very professional and resolved all issues to my satisfaction. I would definitely recommend their services. I even called them back later to install carbon monoxide detectors, and the owner of the company, Mitch, came out himself to do the work!

It was a complete nightmare. The first visit the electrician was supposed to have assessed whether he could do the work and then gave me a quote. There was a charge for the initial visit though they agreed to apply it towards work. The quote was high -- $585 -- but I decided to go with it expecting good results because of their Angie's List best rating. The electrician came back 2 weeks later with another man to install the lights. They installed one without issue. Each man worked on the others separately , drilling 6" in diameter holes in my ceiling for the cans only to discover that the air ducts were in the way of putting in the recessed lights. They should have discovered this long before they put 6" holes in my ceiling. So, the next step was to find fixtures to cover the holes. The electrician went to Home Depot to find something. There was a small selection and not a very good one at that. So, we came up with a temporary fix until which time I could shop for nicer fixtures. Turns out he wanted to bill me the full amount still given the time it took him to go to Home Depot and then a subsequent visit that would be necessary. I could have requested that the holes be filled at considerable cost and time to Intelectric, but I wanted to find the easiest solution out of this. Despite realizing that I was still paying too much, we compromised at $285 for the work -- now one recessed light and two fixtures and I said I've live with the cheap fixtures and take my business elsewhere when I change them. Now, my lighting is also inconsistent and doesn't match because I have one recessed light and two fixtures. The electrician said he couldn't change out the recessed light because he cut out the support bar (whatever you call that) that held the original light fixture without asking so it would be difficult -- or as he said impossible -- to have that installed again. This was incredible frustrating. I could have brought someone off the street to install 3 light fixtures for less than $100. Now, as if this wasn't enough, they have double billed me on my credit card and as of 2/11, it's still not resolved.

On the alarm system removal, Robert had to make several trips between the garage and the house. He was very careful about not tracking dirt into the house, putting on shoe covers each time. The second time Robert was out, I had made the appointment early in the week for him to do two jobs but I kept finding other things that needed repair. The office cheerfully added on the additional jobs.
Description of Work: I had Intelectric out to our house twice. The first trip they took out an old alarm system. The second time Robert did several small tasks. He installed two light fixtures, fixed two flickering lights, replaced a light switch, and tested the outdoor fixture.
