Mountain Tech Electric

unknown

After I realized that they hadn't called me. I called them. The lady I talked to on the phone stated that I was supposed to contact them and that they can't give me the service for $49.00 and that there will be additional charges.

Frank arrived as scheduled and immediately informed us that replacing all the bathroom outlets was not necessary as one GFCI covers the others. He then proceeded to show us how that works but did replace the one GFCI outlet we had that was 29 years old as a precaution and since I had a brand new one onhand. Frank also replaced all three of our outdated hardwired smoke detectors and noted that when we swap out the back up batteries next year that we must use identical batteries and not differing brands. Since he was here my wife also asked him to replace an old bathroom ceiling light which he did. Frank was prompt, efficent and very personable and I was very glad to get these projects off my "honey do" list at a very reasonable price using a Groupon.

He had all of the tools/equipment needed and the removal and install of the new light fixture was fast. The technician was friendly and professional. I would use this company for my service again.

I was able to reach Mountain Tech Electric easily on his cell phone, he rescheduled the project twice before actually coming to do the work. When asked for an estimate, he stated that he really could not provide one since he did not know how the project would go once he arrived. The project was a simple replacement of two existing light fixtures with good quality replacements that I provided, no heights, no additional wiring or parts, etc. He was here about an hour and 45 min. He charged $255 minus the coupon from Angie's List. Thus, while the two lights were replaced, I was not pleased with his demonstrated professionalisn or his cost -seems unnecessarily high for the simple replacement of two light fixtures. I will not use again or recommend his business to others. I do not feel that the Angie's List recommendation worked for me this time.

Fantastic service! Not only were all of my locks changed with amazing precision, but I was provided great recommendations on how what additional security I could add with some simple changes to the manner in which my locks were setup. Thank you,

Very nice man... but was here less than 3 hours (but charged for 3 hours) and talked a lot during his visit. Seemed to want to tell us everything he knew about the possible reasons and what he was doing. Felt like he could have done the job in half the time and therefore been a lot less expensive.

I recently bought a house. Someone who was clearly not a professional electrician had installed an outlet under the sink for a garbage disposal, wiring it to an exposed segment of extension cord. Frank removed the bizarre wiring, moved the outlet to a more reasonable place, put in romex with a cable sheath, and replaced the disposal's non-grounded cable with a grounded one. While he was there I asked him to fix a bunch of minor things, all of which he fixed quickly and efficiently. He did the work in a professional manner and I was very pleased with the results. He gave me an Angie's List discount, too.

My stove would not heat up. Service was excellent. it took about 15 minutes to figure out and fix the electric wiring to my stove. (The 220 in the wall was wired backwards power to ground!) He also checked my circuit box, to make sure that that was safely wired. Very nice, very professional and has a good sense of humor when it comes to contractor goofs like the one I had here. The actual repair took him less than 5 minutes, and he was worth every penny. Thank goodness for the coupon!!! Yes I would highly recommend these folks, with or without a coupon!!!

Cost of services was double what I'd been quoted by an electrician without the "deal." Also, he was difficult to schedule with?he wouldn't suggest any dates or times, then balked at the ones I suggested. So I canceled the deal. Glad Angie's List has strong customer service and refunded me right away.

He explained what was needed to do the job & cost (we used the coupon listed on Angie's List for him). Frank called within a day or two, arrived at the time we agreed. Professional & thorough, we would call him again. He also, at our request, gave us suggestions for new kitchen lighting.

I would definitely use this gentleman again. He arrived late but it was the end of a long workday for him. Despite being obviously tired, he worked very diligently on replacing two front porch lights, one of which was missing a knob which he managed to replace with some ingenuity. He could not find the doorbell source but did spend quite a bit of time looking for it. He also gave me a quote on removing an electrical source on an outdoor fence.

Everything fixed at 1st visit, with full and detailed explanation. Frank knew how to trouble shoot and to correct the non functioning recess light.

An inspection of this home prior to sale revealed that the conduit feeding into the electric meter had pulled down 1/2 inch exposing the wires and the force was also pulling the electric meter box away from the building. Needing to get it repaired prior to closing, I called Frank, left a message and he returned my call promptly! This was the Thursday afternoon before a holiday weekend... Frank went to the home that afternoon, assessed the problem and gave me an estimate (describing for me in detail what the problem was and what type of repair was necessary) and said that he could have it completed by our short (especially given the holiday weekend) deadline . He followed up our discussion with a written proposal. Based on his estimate, availability and personality, Frank was chosen over another contractor and was asked to go ahead and complete the work. As promised, he completed the job prior to our deadline, even doing the work on the holiday and no extra charge,with the final bill the same as the estimated amount (which was well less than the other bid). I am very happy with Franks service and professionalism - not to mention that he is a very nice guy who seems very honest and trustworthy. I will definitely be using him again!!!

Four wires were accidentally cut while installing a wall pet door. We had already shut off what we thought was the only necessary circuit breaker but when the wires were cut we clearly had cut through some other live wires. We were unable to determine at the breaker box which wires were cut. We could smell an electral burning odor that would not seem to dissipate and we were very concerned for our safety. It was 8:00 PM at night and I first called WIRE NUT since they had previously done work in our home and I knew they offered 24-hour service (although we did not use that service). I called them while my partner searched Angie's List. I Iwas absolutely STUNNED when WIRE NUT SAID the after hours service call alone would be $800. You read that right, $800! I said "If you don't want to provide services after hours then why offer it?" I was livid. We searched Angie's List and wanted to find someone reccommended who was close by. Frank/Mountain Tech Electric had very good reviews and was close by in Arvada. When I called Frank had just returned from a family function and was more than happy to come by and take a look and to, as he put it, "make it safe", which was our biggest concern at the time. He tried to offer explanations of what happened and possible solutions while I was on the phone with him, but he was soon on his way over. HIS AFTER HOURS CHARGE was only $85 - a small price to pay to feel safe. He arrived as quickly as he could and assesed the situation. He was very professional and explained everything to us as best as he could determine but said that he would have to come back to do the repair work. We liked him so much we were willing to wait a day for his return (it was Wed night and he would return Friday afternoon). He turned off what he thought was the approrpiate circuit, tested all exposed wires to ensure they were not energized and assured us all was safe. When he returned on Friday (he called to let us know he was on his way) he was able to determine the problem and the appropriate affected circuit - the breaker appeared like it was not tripped when in fact it was (a problem with both panels installed in our home - which he also explained to us in detail). He explained, again in detail, what he would do to make the repairs. He was here a little over 2 hours but only charged us for two. At the time - we both forgot about the discount he offered via Angie's List. I actually completely forgot but Frank called us a couple days later after he was going through his paperwork, to tell us he owed US money for the discount, and actually came by IN PERSON to give us our refund! He was very professional, explained things in detail so that we could understand, answered all our questions, made us feel safe and his work looked professional, clean and safe. We will not only use Frank's services again when needed but will, and HAVE, highly recommended him to others. I also want to mention that if we did not need to call Frank out after hours the total charges for the work would be less $85. Thanks Frank! Cindi & Jana

When I called, I really didn't expect anyone to be able to come out that evening. I was thrilled when he came out a short time later. Even more thrilled he could fix it then. He came back to replace the circuit breaker switch since I have a single switch/not a double switch. He was very professional and knowledgable (even thoough I didn't necessarily know what he was talking about). I woke up in the middle of the night and heard the furnace switch on. I knew it was a successful visit at that point.

I can’t say much because I wasn’t there, but I know they got right out and took care of it.

SEE ABOVE -- I LISTED EVERYTHING IN THE ABOVE STATEMENT.

He called about 20 minutes prior and showed up on time. He was very nice and presentable. He described everything he was doing throughout the work. He fixed it and was very efficient. We would definitely use them again.

Overall experience was good. Frank answered my phone calls and did the work as required. He even gave us a discount on the price for his time. Frank is going to provide me an estimate on some other work I am considering.

Performed service promptly after called. One of the new ballasts failed two hours after installation. Returned next morning and replaced defective ballast. Kitchen light has worked O.K. since.

Frank was awesome, easy to trust and outstanding at assuring me that everything was code, and safe.

I had my kitchen updated, and two electrical projects became necessary: the switch controlling the garbage disposal stopped working, and two days before the new microwave was to be installed I discovered there was no electical outlet available for it. I called Mountain Tech Electric - based on Angie's List reviews - and Frank (Hoelsken) returned my message very promptly. He arranged his schedule so he could come out the next day. He arrived when he said he would, assessed what needed to be done, and got it completed in plenty of time to accommodate the microwave installation. The work was done correctly, and Frank was very good about explaining his diagnoses, and keeping me informed as he progressed. And he took extra pains to make sure the new outlet and the replaced switch, as well as the hole left by someone else's prior work, was finished neatly and correctly - both functionally and cosmetically. I was both relieved and impressed. About two months later I lost electricity to several overhead lights as well as the outlet in the garage ceiling for the garage-door opener. Because there was some safety concern, Frank came out the same day I called, and even though I was unable to be there, he was able (and willing) to come in on his own and fix the problem. problems solved

Frank arrived at the agreed upon time. He called a few minutes before arrival to let us know he was on his way. He is very professional and knowledgeable about his work. He is friendly and considerate. He encountered unexpected problems while doing the job and was able to complete the work with the desired result. He made a followup phone call to be sure everything was working correctly.

Frank worked with Lynn Schwankle (Doc's Handyman Service) to install two bath & light fans in two separate bathrooms. The job entailed running wire from existing switches through plaster walls into an attic crawl space (a two-man job) during the warm summer months. Frank came into the job when Lynn realized an experienced electrician was required; Frank and Lynn worked well together. The job started early in the morning and was completed in late afternoon.
