Great. Had a team of people here all day to complete a job that could have easily taken a full week to do. John is very good at what he does and he does not cut corners. This was a major upgrade for this house and it was well worth it!

We have had several things done by various types of companies on multiple. Basil Electric is in our top two companies that we have ever dealt with. Not only did they do what was in the estimate, but they checked the entire system fixing things where necessary to ensure that the house was safe. Safety was very important to us. The inspection was very timely and passed with flying colors.
Description of Work: John and his crew came in and upgraded the panel, and fixed a bunch of issues from our inspection report on a home we just purchased. We also asked them to replace a ceiling fixture. In the process of this, John found additional problems such as a lamp wire had been used to attach the old light fixture. They went into the attic and restrung appropriate wire and checked further to fix all of the issues that weren't obvious. The spent a full 12 hour day and then returned for the 'button up' include GFI outlets in the bathrooms, etc.

If you're looking for an electrician, Basil Electric is the one! This is the second time I've used John and I am using him currently on a bathroom remodel - my contractor (Capstone) liked his work so much that he is using him for the electrical work on the total remodel of our bathroom/walk-in closet. While some have said he is a little pricey, the neatness and quality of his work supersedes anyone else out there and he is worth every penny.
Description of Work: We upgraded our service to 200 amps - removed our old Federal Pacific (Yuk!) sub panel and he put in a brand new one. Also, to stay with current code he pulled all wires originating form the power lines and set them above roof line in a nice, neat organized manner. Replaced AC wiring. He and his crew also did some extra work around the house that needed repair. Of course everything was done to code, so the price included permit fees.

I asked Basil Electric to make me a quote for a very small project and a date & time was set where John Basil would come to my house to look at what needed to be done. On the day of the appointment his wife called and said that he was running late and would be at least an hour late. In the end nobody showed up and I was never given another call to explain what happened. I don't like to give an F, but I can't think of any other appropriate score for this experience.
Description of Work: No show - nothing was done

The estimated cost was a bit higher than other estimates, but suggested scope of work was a bit broader as well. He suggested updating smoke detectors and installing hard-wired CO detectors, and we felt this was a good idea. Was one delay of start of work, but he called in advance to alert us to this.
Description of Work: Installed several electrical outlets and lights in basement, updated electric service panel, installed hard-wired CO detectors, and updated all smoke detectors in house

He is very knowledgeable, works very efficiently, and although his hourly fee may be higher than other bids received, he gets a lot more done in less time, and it's always great work. He's prompt, efficient and always does exactly what he told you he would do.
Description of Work: We've used John Basil on several occasions and consider him to be the best electrician we know. He did the electrical upgrade when we remodeled our kitchen about 15 years ago. When we constructed a new garage about 8 years, we had him upgrade the electrical service to the house. We've recommended him to other clients and friends.

John was punctual for both the estimate and the two scheduled work days. He was a good listener as we described what we wanted done and gave us an estimate right there (rather than waiting for an e-mail). On the work days, the and his crew laid down tarps and cleaned up after their work. His crew member, Ryan was especially polite and helpful. I would definitely use Basil Electric again and recommend it to friends.
Description of Work: John's estimate was reasonable in comparison to two other estimate on the three jobs we wanted done. (One high on all jobs, one high on one of the jobs and tied with John on other two jobs.) John and his crew installed recessed lighting in a basement area, added light in a scary, tiny closet and switched out the light fixture in the living room.

John and his men arrived on time at 8:30 am. They worked until 9:30 pm. Because the power to the house was off for several hours, they provided a power source, and in the afternoon one of them came in to plug in my refrigerator to the alternate source. At the end of the (long) job, they went through the house to label the circuit breakers. The work areas were cleaned up, the job looks great, and everything works.
Description of Work: Replaced circuit-breaker box, which included raising the apparatus connecting power to the house, and some elaborate grounding measures. Also wired the attic for power (for later installation of a fan), replaced a broken outdoor outlet, and installed a disconnect box for my new solar power system.

John showed up for the estimate exactly on time. We walked through the job and he was able to answer all my questions. we scheduled the work about a week or so later. Again he showed up on time and did an excellent job.
Description of Work: John switched out the outlets in our rental property. He also installed a new doorbell, new curbside lamps and new fluorescent lights in the basement.

Great experience. John returned my initial phone call within one day, came over to do an estimate on a Saturday morning and was able to start work within a couple of days. He had great suggestions and gave us several options to consider. His crew was prompt, courteous and did excellent work. He was even able to correct some screwy work left behind by the previous homeowner.

John and crew were excellent to work with. They were on time for every appointment. This was a fairly complex overall project, and they were great for working with the scheduling of the other trades and building inspectors. They worked very quickly and were in and out on the days they were scheduled to work. All inspections were passed on the first inspection with no issues.
Description of Work: Wired kitchen and laundry room as part of a remodeling project. Also added switch for a light that had no switch (????) and corrected some old, sloppy wiring.

Mr. Basil returned my voice mail request with a call within a day. He arranged a visit for an estimate the following evening and the actual work was done one day later. He explained his very reasonable rates clearly and once on the job worked extremely efficiently. Replacing the ceiling light with the fan/light unit required the installation of a fan box for stability. The failing receptacle in a different fan unit was unfortunately too damaged for repair and will require a new unit. Even though I was aware of his rates and the time involved for the work, I was still slightly stunned when presented with the bill. The relationship between the quality of the work and the price is unbeatable.
Description of Work: Old outdoor lantern switched out for new unit, garage ceiling receptacle replaced, interior overhead globe switched out for a fan/light combination, failing fan light receptacle checked.

After I called to arrange for the work and told them that it was not an emergency, office called to say John Basil would be here Sunday morning. Came on time, assessed the situation and got right to work. He was careful to spread a drop cloth to catch insulation that fell out of ceiling. The job turned out to bigger than he expected, but he did it competently and in good time. Cleaned up work area when job was finished. Pleasant to work with.
Description of Work: Dining room fan and light fixture had fallen down. He replaced it. In order to do it, he had to install new electrical boxes, splice in new wires and install a piece of wood to hold it. The fixture is now much more stable than it was before and works well.

John and crew were on time, polite, excellently priced and did a thorough job. They cleaned up behind themselves. This job required killing power to the house. The work they did in one day, I think, would have taken some others more than a day.
Description of Work: He upgraded box to 200 amps, relocated power feed to top of new roof and added 3 new 20 amp circuits.
