George called the night before the appointment to confirm and then arrived 15 minutes early and waited until 9:00 to start. George preformed the work with precision and was professional in all aspects of the job. He does great work at a very fair price. We will continue to call George for all of our electrical needs.
Description of Work: Installed two ceiling fans in the upstairs bedrooms. There was not current electrical box in the ceiling so wire had to be pulled from the outlet in the wall. All drywall was replaced and patched ready to be re-painted when the job was finished.

The overall job went without a hitch and I was satisfied.
Description of Work: I called George Austin on 5/16/2012 and gave him a brief explanation of the electrical problem I was having. He agreed on a date and time to come out to my residence to trouble shoot the problem. George came out and within a 1/2 hour had pinpointed the problem and had given an estimate on the cost and time to make the necessary repairs. The job went as planned and my electrical problem was solved as promised.

It went great We're thrilled with the new look. George was great and did the job at a fair price. We'll be using him again!
Description of Work: George installed recessed lighting in two rooms, my large family room and my living room and a ceiling fan in the family room. He is a perfectionist in his work and makes sure that everything is not only going to look great, but light your room properly as well. He is also one of the first contractors I've met that covers all of your furniture and other belongings before he starts the day, and then when he leaves - even though he will be coming back the next morning - cleans everything up so you can't even tell there's a construction project going on in your house until he shows up the next morning! Because of the sheer size of the project, and because of some of the unusual nuances of my home's construction, the project took about 3 days to complete. Each time George would agree to meet, he would call me the evening prior to our appointment and confirm that we were still good to go and reassure me that he would be there. I liked that a lot. Furthermore - he was NEVER late! I won't need to get estimates on my kitchen lighting project. I'll have George do it as soon as I have the funds available!

George showed up as promised and got straight to work. He was careful in my home and covered anything that might be affected by dust, etc. George and his assistant, Linda, have a great system and worked very well together. He had to spend a lot of time in the attic which is not fun, but George knows his stuff and was extremely efficient. Everything that George installed and/or repaired is working properly and I am very happy with everything that George did for me. I would definitely hire George again and have no difficulty recommending him to others.

I had an outlet short out on me in the middle of the night with a loud arcing noise, sparks and smoke were coming out of it. I called George the following morning and he came out a few hours later. I have aluminum wiring and he explained the problems with the connections. So, we decided to check every outlet for safety reasons and discovered several problems. He showed up on time and was very professional and knowledgable. $930 was not really in the budget, but I can sleep better now that I don't have to worry about an electrical fire!
Description of Work: George checked every outlet in the house to make sure all the connections were in good condition.

I worked around your time scheduled and $925.00 for three days worked, inspite of the gas prices 30 miles one way from my office and my van burned one gallon of gas per mile, 60 miles round trip, 3 times. But I just want to say thank you, I appreciate your business. Again, thank you, George

I needed a few electrical tasks done and came to Angie's List to find prospects. Did a search for my area and found THE ELECTRICIAN. Called George to set up a date and time. He called the night before to confirm appointment. He arrived on time and we went over the things I needed done. He quickly gave me an estimate. Once we agreed on a price, he immediately began working. He worked all day and finished what I needed. George is very courteous, does quality work and is thorough. I will definitely be calling him for any electrical tasks I need in the future.

The job went extremely well. The Electrician came promptly as promised and efficiently fixed the problem.
Description of Work: I was experiencing a problem with a lighting circuit. The Electrician out came at the appointed time and promptly checked all of the suspected circuits at the breaker box. Finding no problems there he went into the house and checked circuits around the problem area. In short order, he found the problem in a wall junction box in very short order. Elasped time less then 30 minutes. I was very impressed with the speed and efficiency that the Electrician found and solved the problem. I would highly recommend his services to others who have similar problems.

We had an urgent weekend need for work done as a very sick family member is moving in so time was of the essence. He came and did all the work on a Saturday with no extra charge. He works tirelessly and is very knowledgable in his trade. Integrity is very important to me and he gets an A. The estimate was for a day and a half but they stayed late and finished it in one day. You will NOT regret using this company!
Description of Work: I had two dedicated lines put in for which the electrical box was on the other side of the house for a jetted tub along with a junction box, two places to plug things into and a few incidentals

I joined Angies list for the sole purpose of finding an electrician that I thought I could trust. I plan to use Angie's list in the future, but even if I only used it once - finding George McCutcheon was worth the price of joining. He arrived promptly and performed a thorough inspection of my electrical problem. Even though my understanding of electrical issues is quite limited, he patiently explained to me what my problem was, and what he needed to do. I absolutely would recommend George to anyone who needs electrical services, and I plan on calling him again. He was professional, friendly, courteous and on top of that I thought his price was more than reasonable for the services he performed. Thank you George!!
Description of Work: There was no electricity in part of my home, so based on reviews, I contacted The Electrician. George McCutcheon came to my home, did an inspection and detemined that I had three outlets that needed to be replaced.

I woke up one morning and there was no electricity in 1/4 of the house (TV included- yikes!). I determined it was the circuit breaker and when I called for estimates The Electrician came in far below anyone else and then he was early arriving at the house. The cost was exactly what he quoted (how great is that?) and since I had to pay for a service call he asked what else he could do, so he changed some light bulbs as well. I will be recommending him to anyone needing any electrical needs met.

George had us up and running in a couple of hours time. Now we can plug in our portable CD player, a lamp in the evening, maybe even a fan on a hot summer day. George is very friendly, super professional and I would call him for any electrical work I need done in the future.
Description of Work: George the Electrician replaced an outlet on our back porch and set up an electrical outlet in the back area of our large backyard. Wires had been run to the back years ago with the idea of putting in a spa. That never happened and for the longest time they were never used.
