It did not go. I am sorry too, they had such good reviews.
Description of Work: They never returned my call and did not respond to the email I sent asking for an estimate based on the description of the job. I guess they didn't need my business.

It was okay. Everything seemed fine. They did what we wanted them to do. They were on time and very polite. I can't comment on price because I can't remember what the price was and all the details of it. What they did worked, we are fine. They were very responsive, I do recall that. We had a real problem and they were out in no time. They came when they said they were going to come, I don't remember any problem at all.

My wife and I could not have been more pleased with the work that Charlie/James performed at our home -- Something that would have taken me hours to complete, this team completed in just a few hours! The first thing that we look for is overall presentation; from initial meeting to equipment to workmanship and Dependable met and/or exceeded those expectations! A company that will be called upon in the future for any/all electrical work ....
Description of Work: Had (4)Ceiling fans installed

They knew what they were doing and were done faster than they thought they would be, so $100 was taken off of my estimate I was given earlier.

Charlie Hudson arrived on time and quickly determined the best way to run the new circuit from the electrical panel to the furnace. Work was performed in a neat and professional way. Charlie left two neatly cut small holes in the ceiling of the utility room (required to snake the new 30 amp line to the furnace) that were very easy to patch. HVAC installers positively commented on the work the next day during the installation of the furnace/heat pump.
Description of Work: Added a 30 amp circuit to power the full 15kW heaters capacity of the new HVAC system scheduled for installation the next day.

Charlie arrived on time and we finalized to cost of the work as I was out of state when we set up the appointment. This was work on new construction in Bayside. Charlie and his helper proceeded to install all 5 fans in a very professional manner and in a very timely manner. They were very courteous and helpful in explain some options regarding switching. I expect to utilize Charlie again to install a light kit on one of the fans and would not hesitate to use him for other electrical work. I have no hesitations in recommending him to others.
Description of Work: Dependable Electrical installed 5 ceiling fans and wall control switches in a new townhouse.

The technician arrived sooner than expected on a Saturday morning. He knew what the problem was as soon as he started removing the outlet. He fixed it in a jiffy and checked other outlets to make sure there were no further problems.

I am very pleased with them. I found them off of Angie's List. Dependable electric and Mister Sparky work together. They sent the guy from Dependable and he came again on Thursday morning, and called me by name. He took care of the problem. The circuit breaker was over 40 years old. Their prices are fair. I am so far out in the country, they charge us $59 to $60 just to come out all the way here.
Description of Work: I used Mister Sparky. I called them last week for a problem I had at the church. We had bad circuit breaker, but the box is not in that great a shape. We may have to get them sometime this winter to replace the whole box.

I called several weeks in advance and talked to owner Charlie Hudson to schedule an appointment to get an estimate for the thermostats. He would be replacing single-wire 1968 thermostats. The day of the appointment I called to confirm that he would be there within the four-hour time frame he originally gave me. On a number of other occasions, contractors in Ocean City have failed to show up. Charlie assured me he'd be there and asked whether I thought I'd want the work done today. I told him that would be a possibility. His employee (I think his name was Jack) called just before noon. Both men arrived at noon and put on booties to come into the unit (my new carpet thanks them for that) . I was given an estimate of $275 for the work. Two thermostats were installed, one in the living room and one in the bathroom. The men were professional and personable. The work was done within a half hour. Charlie then showed me how the thermostats worked and both were tested. While this sounds like a simple thing that any homeowner could do, I felt I needed an electrician since the unit is in an old, wooden building. Charlie also gave me a quick estimate, should I need to get a ceiling fan replaced. I plan to recommend Dependable Electric to other owners in the building, and will hire them again, should I need additional electric work.
Description of Work: Dependable Electric installed two Honeywell programmable thermostats in my condo in Ocean City, Maryland.

They showed up when they said they would, gave my property & problem a through inspection, including telling me what they were seeing & what they thought. The problems a home inspector had outlined were not correct. Charlie showed me that a breaker had tripped, leading to an outlet & smoke detector not working, the panel was properly installed and to required code. He explained everything in terms I understood & questions were answered to my highest satisfaction. I will be installing a ceiling fan on a porch, they will be called to do the work. I have already passed their name onto friends. I found this company on Angies List, the discount to List members was good.
