They added 5 circuits to serve my bathroom and kitchen and did the "rough in" for me. I wasn't able to finish on their permit. I had just bought the house and it had a Round D box (very old). The inspector images show the ground is connected in the box, but after Mac Electric finished, the ground had been dropped. My house was hit by lightning that same month and I lost most appliances and my furnace, not to mention all computers and televisions. They also installed a bathroom fan which was not sealed properly. It leaked tons of air. Needless to say my bathroom is freezing in the winter. I called Mac Electric about a year later and they would not come back to fix. I hired somoene else to repair that AND a different electrician to do other work where he discovered the grounding issue. He reconnected the ground to my box which took all electrical shocks out of the system in a matter of a few months (EVERYTHING metal I touched after Mac Electric left gave me shocks). Anyway, I regret hiring Mac Electric.

Response from Mac Electric Company Inc
This is Michelle with Mac Electric Company. We did complete a rough electric only project for Member as stated above back in 2010. Member wanted to finish the project herself for budget reasons and the amount of work we completed was very limited due to budget reasons. According to the Colorado Electrical Board requirements, Member did have to obtain a homeowner’s trim only permit to finish the project on her own. We completed the rough electric to her specifications and her budget limits and passed a rough electrical inspection without any problems. Member contacted us about the bath fan and we informed her that bath fans can let some air in if the damper is not closing correctly, we recommended that she check the damper and contact us back if she still needed assistance, we never heard from her again after that. We were never informed about any lightning strike or any other issues with the project. Mac Electric did not complete any electrical work for the panel or service and any ground issues would have been existing. Mac Electric did recommend a panel and service upgrade on the home due to age and condition, however, for budget reasons Member declined. The Colorado State Electrical Board approved all work completed by Mac Electric and all work performed by our company was done up to code per inspection results. At Mac Electric, customer satisfaction is always number one. Our company is based on service; we love to serve and continuously strive to exceed expectations by providing highly skilled electrical professionals, incredible customer service, excellent communication, electrical expertise, and value. We regret that were not able to take care of Member's needs on her project and would gladly come out free of charge to double check our work and ensure that all wiring is safe and up to code. Member, please call us at 970-669-2464 if you need service or email us at mmac@macelectricco.com. Your satisfaction is very important to us.

Electrician arrived 7 minutes early. I greeted him at the door and was immediately put a ease and felt he was trustworthy. He had covers for his shoes and quickly set to work determining the problem. After investigating the problem, he offered two solutions. After thoroughly explaining the problem and solutions, we decided on the safest and most cost effective. He immediately fixed the problem. I would definitely hire this company again.
Description of Work: Electrician investigated cause of a breaker continually tripping and had two possible solutions.

Overall great experience - would definitley hire again for most any electrical job.
Description of Work: Requested dedicated, 15 amp circuit (single receptacle) to a finished basement room. Shannon provided a reasonable estimate and another electrician in his comany performed the job shortly thereafter. He was very courteous and clean, placing dropcloths in the work area and vacumming up after completion. He also spackled small holes that were made while running wire and verified the exact receptacle location with me before running the wire. Quality work may cost a bit more but his estimate was competitive and the quality outstanding.

Mac Electric came promptly. He gave an estimate of the cost. I felt the cost was fair. He retrieved what he needed from his van. He didn't diddle-daddle around. But he is very personable. All the items were successfully completed at the cost he said it would be. I highly recommend his service.
Description of Work: Mac did extensive work in setting up the electrical wiring in my newly created eBay room. I needed many outlets. He installed outlets in the kitchen island so that appliances could be used on the island. He also added electrical outlets to add laptops on the island. He then installed 9 canned lights into the vaulted ceiling in the master bedroom. That was a real challenge which he did cheerfully! He was prompt as well. One of the best benefits of using Mac Electric is that he gives you the estimate upfront and you know exactly what it's going to cost. This is the only way I deal with repair people!

I got him from Angie's List. I think they did a good job. I do have an issue with them though and that is responsiveness. The first time the gentleman came out he did look around and I also wanted a bid on under the counter lighting. He talked to me about the new LED lighting and how great that is. He said he would get a sample and show me. When they did come out to do the work, he did have everything and said that he would email me a bid for the work but I have never heard back from him. They did the floor outlet but when it came to the under the counter lighting, he showed me the product but he never got the bid to me. I told him I probably wasn't going to do it before Christmas because of Christmas expenses. I told him I would like to know how much it would be because at some point I'm going to do it. I'm a business person and would have gotten a general cost back to somebody so they would know what they would be looking forward to when they did it but I have never heard back. It's not that they did anything wrong but it's just that if I want to use them again I don't know if I'll call them or not or just get some other bid. I don't feel comfortable with the fact that I've never heard back from them. I thought $300 was a lot for one outlet but since it was a floor outlet it required fancier equipments with nice brass rings around it so it could have been on the market. I was hoping to do two but when the bid came back for $300 I thought I’m not paying for another one. The quality of work was fine. I would probably call them back to get a comparison estimate.
Description of Work: I used Mac Electric Company Inc in the first week of November to install a floor outlet.

When I first contacted Shannon at MAC Electric he promptly returned my calls which is always a big plus. The first visit was to determine what the problem was as well as to discuss the new heat panel I wanted. He then ordered the part which had some glitches on his suppliers end, but Shannon kept me appraised of the situation. We scheduled the repair and the schedule was maintained. I was not left hanging about when someone was coming. Shannon came when he said he would or if a little late he would call. The relay switch replacement went well, but then we found that one heat panel didn't work which was a surprize because these heat panels need so little maintenance. When we discussed my approach to replace the bad heat panel Shannon was receptive to it and didn't try to make extra money by ordering himself with an add on or insisting he had to do the installation himself. Shannon and then Rob were extremely easy to work with. They are careful about tracking in dirt using plastic booties for shoes and then cleaning up the work including recycling the cardboard containers. They worked steadily and did not waste time. They came when they said they would and called if even slightly late. Everything is now installed, working well and looking good. They are smart about their work and know what they are doing.
Description of Work: MAC Electric first determined why four of our radiant heat panels were not working. The found that a relay switch was burned out due to it being undersized. They ordered the replacement larger capacity relay switch and then replaced it. They then found that one of the four panels still didn't work and determined that the radiant heat panel had gone bad. I suggested that I could order the replacement radiant heat panel and install it myself which we agreed to do since the wiring was pretty simple. It was cheaper way to go. In addition I had asked Shannon to look at adding an additional radiant heat panel in the downstairs in such a way as to connect the new heat panel to an existing circuit controlled by an existing thermostat. I wanted all of the radiant heat panels in this larger room controlled by one themostat. This meant that wiring had to be fished thru the wall to connect to the theromostat to make this work. The replacement panel and the new panel arrived together and I installed the new panel, but it didn't work. Rob from MAC was coming up anyway to install the new heat panel so I waited until he came to look at my work. It was simple enough to remedy since I hadn't installed the wires far enough into the connector so that was solved. Rob then fished the wire through the wall and installed the new heat panel on the existing circuit and thermostat. It all worked out quite well.

Went very well. MAC Electric laid out a project plan for us and executed nicely against it. They remained on time and on budget which was critical for our project because we had several other firms working on other parts of the build and we needed each to deliver on schedule. Great local electrician for us (Berthoud, CO)
Description of Work: I worked with MAC Electric to run electrical service to our new indoor riding arena and to install lighting throughout the building. I appreciate that Shanon took a consultative approach to the entire process. We spent time reviewing various lighting options and also looking at computer software analysis of the proposed lighting solution. This was very helpful and eased our anxiety about spending a lot of money without not knowing how much lighting was required for our specific solution. Since this project, I've had a bit of follow-up work done around the barn and overall it's been a great business relationship. I would recommend MAC Electric for any electrical project.

All the appointments were very punctual. Shannon arrived as promised for the free estimate. He listened as I told him what I wanted. He gave me several options to consider before making my decision. Josh, the installer, called before coming to confirm the time and address. Josh was polite, professional, and thorough. My RV electrical outlet and wiring was installed quickly and it works very well. I will use this company again.
Description of Work: I had a 50 amp RV electrical outlet installed on the outside of my attached garage to include the wiring from the main circuit breaker box. Josh, the installer, fished the wire from the attic space down to the breaker panel where he installed a 50 double pole breaker. He ran wire across the attic above the garage ceiling and down the wall inside the garage. I asked that the wire be routed through conduit down the interior wall rather than fishing it down inside the wall. The wall is insulated and fishing the wire through the insulation would have taken much longer and, therefore, would have been more expensive. The receptacle was mounted in a box on the outside garage wall and connected to the wiring.

We got Shannon's info from Angie's List and contacted him to look at our basement light. He was going to be in our area the following week and stated he would call us on Tuesday to make an appointment. He called, just as indicated, and we set a time for our appointment. He showed up right on time, which we greatly appreciate! He quickly identified and fixed the issue in less than 15 minutes....and charged us accordingly. Shannon's appearance was professional, he wore shoe covers and came prepared with all the necessary equipment. We will absolutely call Shannon again if we have a need and will certainly recommend him to all our friends and neighbors!

Shannon did a walk-through of my home to discuss my lighting issues with me. He was friendly and professional and provided helpful suggestions to consider. I received a detailed proposal with the work described as we had agreed before he left my home. Mac Electric completed the work as scheduled. I came home one day from work to new lighting---installed as I expected and I wasn't even there to answer questions. It was the right fixtures, in the right locations, and the best part was they left no mess, no trash, and no evidence they had been in the house at all (except for the new lighting!) The invoice matched the estimate provided. It couldn't have turned out better. Wish all contractors were this way. I will definitely call Mac Electric again.
Description of Work: I needed additional switched lighting in two large bathrooms and a loft area of a newly purchased home. Mac Electric installed can lights, wall sconces and fluorescent lighting in three different areas of my home.
