Argon Electric LLC

Linden was highly responsive to our need for a fast response by a licensed electrician. The day before, we returned from an extended family emergency back east. A new wall oven-microwave arrived while we were gone. We needed an electrician ASAP to determine if the oven circuit would handle a 50% greater load.

We called Argon the Tuesday before Thanksgiving seeking an electrician that could verify the circuit and cable capacity from the circuit breaker box to the oven. Linden rearranged his schedule and came out in less than 24 hours to assist us the Wed. before Thanksgiving so the installers could replace a brand new, but defective oven the following Monday.

It was fortunate that we did so. The circuit for the old oven had 240 V 20 A breakers. The new oven required a 40A circuit. The big box installers did not realize the new oven required 40A. The new oven immediately malfunctioned and required replacement.

I'm an electrical engineer, and fortunately observed the first new oven installation by the big box installers, who simply said I needed to install a larger 40 A breaker. However, if the cable to the oven was only rated at 20A this would result in a fire.

Worse than that, the cable out of the new oven was 4' too short to reach a junction box in a kitchen cabinet to connect it to the cable to the breaker panel. The installers simply cut 3 feet of cable from the old oven and spliced it as an extension.

Linden installed a new breaker, verified the capacity of the cable run as able to handle 40 A. However, Linden noted that the splice installed by the oven guys to the junction box in the kitchen cabinet only had 30A capacity and needed to be replaced when the replacement oven arrived. He left sufficient cable for the installers to replace the cable section since we could not access the other end of the cable.

I felt the amount charged for 30 min was high, but in retrospect, Linden responded fast and when needed, had the expertise we needed to verify my suspicion, and avert a potential disaster, and I would use him again.

Argon is great, they did the work over the summer when our AC/furnace was installed, and we used them again for some more electrical work at our house that needed to be done.Their prices are on the higher end of quotes we received for the work, but even though the price was higher our comfort level with them (and the quality of their work) won out. They do outstanding work. Linden is the one who did the work both times, the job looks professional, works great, and he made sure to explain the process step by step so we knew what they were doing. We would use them again if we need more electrical work done on our house.

Linden Parker (Argon Electric) was the electrical subcontractor for the installation of an air conditioner. He showed up on time and completed the work as promised. Everything looks great and works great.

They originally were a subcontractor for another company I used. They charge by the hour. They were really straightforward with what I needed done. Even though he was charging by the hour, he was very efficient at working. I didn't feel like he was bilking the job at all. I was working with the owner. His name was William. He was very consistent. He was great.

All work was extremely clean and professionally done. We couldn't be happier.
