he is very considerate but it leads him to ask too many questions. Some homeowners -- like me -- dont care about all the details and just want the work done. But I would DEFINITELY HIRE HIM AGAIN.

This company does high quality and reasonably priced work. I would certainly use them again. However, if you are in a rush, this is NOT the company to go to. Appointments are made weeks in advance....and if you need to change your appointment, it gets pushed back more weeks. The work is top notch and I am happy with the finished product.....the wait was a bit frustrating though.

Jeff did a great job!!! He was professional and did a clean job. The ceiling fan was well balanced and does not wobble. He did the job with minimum materials needed to keep the cost low. Overall we are very happy with his work and would highly recommend him to others.

The Dwelling Electric contacted me within 24 hrs. of ordering the service and an appointment was scheduled. 24 hours prior to the service call, their office called to confirm the appointment. The provider showed up at the appointed time, he properly identified himself, and we reviewed the tasks that needed to be performed. The provider was professional, knowledgeable and friendly. All tasks were performed within the specified time and I'm completely satisfied. I will gladly call Dwelling Electric back for other electrical services.
Description of Work: The provider fixed several electrical issues, i.e., repair of recessed lighting, switch repair and smoke detector replacement.

I contacted them to have the electrician come out and look at the cam lights I wanted installed before I bought the deal to make sure they would be able to do it. They said there was no need as they install cam lights all the time. So I boutght the deal and when the electrician came out he said the job was more complicated than he had expected and could not be covered by the deal. I am sure he is capable of doing the work but as the situation was not handled as well I would have hoped for I am not sure I would use them again.

The area where she wanted the lights installed was damaged. I even videotaped the damaged area from the attic and down below. She agreed to have it fixed and have Us back out but never returned our phone calls to schedule the appointment. I spent 2 hours at this lady's house going over options with her and didn't charge her a penny.

Excellent work! Jeff was very professional and well informed! I had purchased lights I thought would work however, after discussing what I wanted in overall lighting needs, Jeff indicated he did not think the lights I had purchased would meet my needs. He recommended alternative, much more desirable lights (although he did indicate he would be happy to install what I had purchased if that is what I wanted). His lighting recommendation is more energy efficient but less expensive --and he even talked my husband through the selection process (on the phone) who was at the store to staring at the overwhelming selection of available options. We were able to return the wrong lights and purchase the new lights (for less cost) all while Jeff continued to do the prep work for the install. Jeff did an excellent job helping me to determine the correct placement of the lights (I"m pretty fussy - so patience is necessary!) and his installation is perfect! My room is beautifully eluminated! Oh, I should mentioned, Jeff was super neat and tidy- another plus for me. Overall, stellar work, very pleasant, professional, on time, finished earlier than expected, clean and neat and my dog liked him! Thanks Jeff! I will definately use your company again!

It turned out very well. They installed a whole home fan for us. There was a 6 week waiting list to get on their schedule. They scheduled me and checked back a week before the appointment to make sure we were still on.

I purchased a "big deal" (my first time using your service) I was contacted by your provider within the specified time which was nice. However, at first I was told I wouldn't be able to get any service for the rest of this year. And when I told them that wasn't acceptable they all of a sudden could help me. After which they told me how much the materials would be I decided to put the job on hold. I was only having some wire pulled for a dryer. I was told it would be between $150-200 dollars in material "which I could purchase from their tech. That is outrageous. I could buy a whole spool of wire for that cost. I understand them wanting to mark up their materials, but don't retire on me. So this is why I am petitioning for your help in this matter. I look forward to your response. Thanks.

Response from Dwelling Electric Inc.
I tried to contact this member several times to resolve this issue and left a long detailed message. The member did not return our calls. Let me first address the first issue. My secretary informed me that his needs were urgent and the normal schedule wasn't going to work for him. I then told her to give him the day I had scheduled as an office day to get caught up paperwork. He took it, then canceled when we called to confirm, and didn't even notify us about his concerns of material costs. As far as material cost, the quote we gave him was just to prepare him so that he isn't under budget for the job. The actual material need for the job would have been determined on the job. Then he could have purchased it from a supplier of his choice or we could get it for him on the clock but NO markup.

He did a great job. He was on time and he did what he said he would do. It was quite reasonably priced. I had him back after the original deal at his regular rate because he worked very efficiently. He did the work in 2.5 hours. He left the workspace just as he'd found it too.
Description of Work: He converted our kitchen ceiling lights from bulbs to true LEDs. He also hung a pendant light with an adapter kit.

I had a good experience, however, I had to wait 1 1/2 months before I could get an appointment. I bought the fans because it was a heat wave and had I known I would've had to wait that long to get them installed I would've not even used Angie's list at all and gone a different direction.

I requested a refund of my selection from Angieslist since I could/would not wait 6 weeks to do the job. I requested a refund from Angieslist but have not received it yet. I then took another special from Angieslist and that turned out to be with Evans Elect & they were prompt and did a good job.
