David is great! He prices very reasonably, has good quality work, and got the job done in a timely manner. He is a great contractor to work with because he also problem solves should something unexpected pop up. I cannot recommend him enough and look forward to continuing to work with him.

We asked for out lights to be raised, there were 4 total, but got 1 installed incorrectly and another lowered(the opposite of what we asked for). The electrician charged us $370 of the $470 quote and mage the situation worse. I feel taken advantage of and would tell others to stay away from this unprofessional business.
Description of Work: We need to have e lights rehung and a 4th light installed. All lights are hanging from old gas pipes and will need to be shortened and rethreaded.

Response from Franklin Electric
I’m sorry Mr. [Member Name Removed] felt that way about the job. I explained the gas pipe cannot be shortened and re-threaded without removing the mantle. I said I would cut the pipe and install a connector and shallow box. He gave his OK. I offered to look into options with deeper canopies to fix the situation, but he declined.

Everything went perfectly. David was extremely professional, friendly and helpful. He took an approach to the repair that’s left the connections in a much more secure state than prior to the incident. If I ever need electrical help in the future I’ll be contacting David.

David was very responsive and communicative. Arrived on time, gave us updates. Took a bit longer than we thought but he worked at a steady pace and charged a fair price. Needed to go get parts. Made it all look easy but we couldn’t have done the work ourselves. Great to have a on-call local electrician. Would recommend his services.

David was great! We had a few lights that went out in the house and he was diligent and found the root of the problem and then fixed it. He was really communicative and a pleasure to work with. He was also reasonably priced, especially compared to some of the other quotes we received. We’d recommend Dave and would use him again for any future electrical work.

Was able to make the initial service call in timely manner and the needed follow-up service soon after. He discussed several options and was able to come up with a good option for my 101 year old home. Reasonable prices. Very happily back in working order with minimal fuss!

David was great! I just bought an electric car. A couple electricians said I would probably need to install a 200 amp panel since my 100 amp panel would not be sufficient. That would have cost me 6k to 8k. David came to evaluate. After looking at my panel and realizing that my central heat, cooking stove, hot water heater, and clothes dryer were all gas, he said it wasn't necessary. He rerouted a couple things and installed a dedicated 40 amp breaker in my panel. Then he installed the charger and ran the wires and conduit. Took about 3 hours. The level two 40 amp charger works like champ. I'm very happy. David saved me a ton of money and was a pleasure to work with.

David did a great job installing a few electrical components with minimal impact! He seems to know what he's doing and was able to fix my flubbed attempts to change things out myself. Always responsive, shows up on time and gets the job done within his initial estimate. He was even able to figure out the weird doorbell situation at my house and run low-voltage wiring to install a smart doorbell.
