Description of Work: We had an old fire alarm system in our 3 unit building, which constantly malfunctioned. In 2007-8 we had an elevator installed in the building, and this made it necessary to rewire the alarm system and bring it up to date with new sensors, horns etc. This work was done by Century Electric, and the alarm system has been trouble free ever since. The work cost $3670. In addition, Century comes once a year to do an inspection and recertification of the alarm system. They charged us $272 for the most recent (7/2010) visit. They are very thorough, testing all the smoke sensors, strobes, horns, etc.

See above.
Description of Work: Our 3 flats are an "apartment house" so we are required to have an alarm system, which must be inspected and certified annually. We have this done every year by Century Electric. They are very professional and thorough, checking all the detectors, horns, and strobes in the building.

Their work has always been excellent. I'm most impressed with their integrity. They actually told me that work was not necessary, which was more in my financial interest than theirs.
Description of Work: I'ved used them for several jobs over the years.

The electrician arrived on time. Outlets required extensive work since they were going on the first level of a 1920's flat. Separate lines had to be run along the ceiling of the ground level garage up into the first level, drilling through the floor and cutting out holes in the thick wooden baseboards. Electrician was able to place the outlets right where they were needed. Work was done in a professional manner and looks great. Electrician took steps to keep area clean and cleaned up after he finished.
Description of Work: Installed one electrical outlet and one phone outlet.

They came out and did the work fine. The outlet works properly and it looks like it belongs where it was installed, which is nice. They performed a very clean installation and were very professional about it. I would use them again for this service. I thought the price was not bad, but not great either.
Description of Work: I had them install one industrial outlet outside in my front yard where I was having a new sprinkler system installed.

I talked to 3 people, receptionist, Jim Reed and person that came to do the work. No one told me that I could not use a credit card, they said they would bill me. Once I received the bill I called to pay by credit card and that was when they let me know that they didn't accept them. I am mailing them a check. As far as the job itself, they were fixing a one light bulb fixture above the sink, they only had a larger fixture with 2 light bulbs which I felt I needed to except because I was being charged $108 an hour minimum I didn't want to go into the second hour in order to go get another light fixture. He put in two lower voltage light bulbs which was fine however, someone else will be occupying that bathroom and they might not use those low voltage bulbs when they replace them.
Description of Work: I had a bath room light fixture that needed to be replaced.
