We have no fault with Mr. Young's work, but he charged an enormous amount of money for less than 3 hours of work. We felt that he talked for at least 2 of the 3 hours. When he gave us the bill, nothing was broken down as to Parts and Labor. $525 with minimal parts was very expensive. We wouldn't use him again.
Description of Work: Installed two new plugs.

Response from Young Electric Inc
First of all, this job was done back on 1/15/13. I am very surprised at the review as the customer was very pleased with us.They are however wrong about what was done. We installed 2 dedicated circuits to the garage with gfci protection due to the garage refrigerator and work tools.The garage was very shall we say full of stuff that made working in it challenging.We also installed and wired in 2 garage coach lights, changed some bulbs on a very tall ceiling. The customer was very chatty with us but to say we talked for 2 out of three hours is a bit of a stretch, he spoke , we worked.There was also a fair amount of materials used,i.e. gfci outlets ,wire, circuit breakers,boxes,conduit,etc.I would have liked it if the customer asked questions about the bill while we were there so we could explain everything to them. Choosing to remain silent for 8 months does neither of us any good. Sad to have lost a customer over simple miscommunication, Andy.

Installer of new A/C systems after approx. 10 has not been able to prevent the system outages. Mr. Young doesn't believe he found and fixed any cause, however with his thorough inspection we are able to eliminate the electrical system as the cause. Any further outages will be fully attributable to the A/C installer. After over a week the A/C system has had no outages, so we are hopeful that further repair will not needed. And we have good security knowing the electric system is in good shape, because Mr. Young inspected and reported so thoroughly. In addition Mr. Young was extremely professional, prompt and courteous in rendering his services. I will definitely contact him first for any electrical needs in the future.
Description of Work: Inspected all electric connections including panel to help determine the cause of intermittent shutdown of A/C system.

2 day delay because his truck broke down. Original He had estimated 1 hour of labor at $125, to which I agreed. When he came to the jobsite, he arrived in a car, not a truck, and then told me that the two previous days he did have work to do, and used the car. I guess my job seemed less important to him than others, since he cancelled my 7/23 Tues appt. He and his son arrived at 8:20am, I left for work at 9am. At 9:40, when finished, my wife called me and said he wanted $250 since it was a larger job than he'd expected. I supplied the cable. I supplied the splitter. I supplied the cable outlet box, and my instructions to him were to snip the cable in the attic, use the splitter to re-connect the old cable to the cable outlet, and run the wire to the new cable outlet from the splitter.. What he did instead was run extra wires down the wall to the existing cable outlet, then up from there back to the attic, THEN down the wall to the "new" location. I am sure that extra work is what caused the time overrun, and the time overrun was no where near an hour! It was more like 20 minutes. I got Mr Young on the phone, and stated clearly I had no intention of paying him $250 for his 1 hour 20 minutes of work (which, frankly, he milked by 20 minutes). We settled on $187.50, with which I was still not happy (1.5 hours at $125/hr). My advice...get the estimate CLEARLY in writing and if there is a time or expense . If I had to do it all over again, the delay, because of vehicle problems, should have been a tip off, and I should have just engaged some one else.
Description of Work: added one cable outlet...tapped off the existing cable outlet and ran a wire up the wall, then down the wall from the attic.

Response from Young Electric Inc
You good sir should write fiction. Here's what really happened: This customer emailed me from Angies list to ask me about running a cable t.v. jack from one wall to the other. He described the job well and I told him it would be a minimum of 1 hr. which is 125.00.I also explained it could go more. My transmission needed to be rebuilt and I asked if we could reschedule for thursday from tuesday. He said O.K. Thursday came and still no truck so I called the customer and said I would come by car just so he could get the work done as promised.I could not get in to the room right away as his daughter was getting ready to leave the house . I explained to this customer that it is not proper to cut into a wire in the attic and add a splitter up there but we should install the splitter at the existing location so any one looking in the future can find it. Now folks come on, if my truck didn't really break down why would I show up in a car???? AS for billing I originally made a mistake which I corrected immediately. The customer said he was now happy.Later that day he called and was again unhappy. He said he should be charged less the 2nd. hr. I asked what he felt was a fair number. He replied 25 %less. I said O.K. lets do the math. 125.00 + 25% less of 125.00 =93.75. So 1/2 of 93.75 =46.88. 125 +46.88 =171.88. He paid 187.50 A difference of 15.62 of which 5.00 of materials were used which leaves us with 10.62...I offered the customer 11.00 back and this still did not make him happy, he began harping on the 2 day delay to which I could only apologize. Believe me I tried to satisfy this customer but clearly he was resolved to call me a liar and bash me on angies list. I will let my other reviews on angies list speak for themselves, Andy.

I am very happy with the results of all the work Young Electrics did in my home! One of our bathroom exhaust fans had broken and needed to be replaced. I added a ceiling fan with lights to the den. We renovated the kitchen and changed the black granite counters and back-splash for a light color with shades of gray on white background, so I wanted to replace black outlets and plates with light grey. They were prompt, friendly & courteous. The owner, Andy Young and his helper, Jake did an excellent job and worked in an efficient and professional manner. They answered our questions and gave advice when asked. I recommend them highly and I would definitely use them again. All work was completed while they were here.

Mr Young fixed our disposall in no time. He looked at our hood which had some electrical problems, but advised us it would probably be more economical to replace the unit. In the meantime, he discovered some hot wires which could have caused a real problem! Very professional, prompt, and courteous. I definitely recommend him.

Andy came by at 8:00 AM just as he promised and looked at a ceiling fan that wouldn't work. He took it apart, fixed the problem and even supplied a missing screw that held the thing together. All done and I was on my way to work by 9:15! I would certainly recommend him.

I received a quote on Tuesday and by the following Monday he was at my home ready to go. He arrived on time, installed the lighting perfectly, cleaned his mess, and did this in record time. He was more knowledgeable than the others I called and his price was right in line with everyone else. I could not be more pleased! If you need lighting done in your home than you should use Young Electric Inc.

It went very well. Andy was very thorough in testing everything out and even called a friend who does appliance repair to get his input. Andy's initial assessment was correct...the problem was with the dryer rather than the circuit breaker.

It was great. Andy showed up on time, he figured what needed to be done. He promptly scheduled a follow-up and did the work. The second time, we told him what we needed and he came and did it in just a couple days. Really good at what he does and a pleasure to work with.
Description of Work: I have used Young Electric twice now. Andy is a real pro, a great guy and worth every penny. He diagnosed and completed some work in an older home that had a mess of electrical. Then he quickly brought another home up to code. He has installed smoke detectors for me as well. Don't mess around with electrical. Call Andy!

Andy Young of Young Electric was punctual and professional. He arrived exactly at the scheduled time and quickly and efficiently performed the work. He was accommodating to my needs and questions and very personable. The workspace was covered during the job and cleaned up and returned to it's original state at completion. For me, this is not a one time experience, I have relied on Young Electric for all my household electrical needs for over 10 years!
Description of Work: As with many previous occasions, I contracted with Young Electric for residential electrical service. Today I had a ceiling mounted pendant light installed and discussed plans for additional recessed lighting and wall switches to control the new lights.

Sent Andy an email directly from this site. He called back within a few minutes. I called him the next day , explained I needed 6 can lights installed & wanted two rows of 3 with separate switches. We scheduled for a day later. He was on time, very easy to talk to & began work right away. He kept me informed during stages of work to see light locations before cutting the ceiling & after the first install to see how light looked. Andy will answer any questions anytime. He also helped us with a switch problem (2 switches) & didn't charge for it. I would recommend this Co. without reservation!

Did excellent work but we were not aware he was charging by the hour. We should have asked him (although he never offered) before he did any work because we paid dearly for his sociality. We paid for three hours of work that took him no more than one and a half hours at most. If you can limit his socializing, he is definitely worth using.

Response from Young Electric Inc
I really must respectfully disagree. to read this review it would paint a picture of working for 1 1/2 hours & talking on the clock for 1 1/2 hours. The total time spent working on the items was 2 1/2 hours. I wish the customer would have questioned the hours at the time of my visit instead of me having to read about it over 3 weeks ago. Most work can be price quoted but some things just cannot. Perhaps both of us needed to communicate better, all the best, Andy.

It's Monday: do you know how many service professionals are flooded with calls on Monday? Andrew is no exception, but immediately scheduled me in, showed up EARLY, surveyed the problem, not only fixed the initial problem but asked questions and suggested a long-term solution (new outlet) versus temporary fix. He's been at it 40 years: he knows his stuff. It was great! We will definitely use Young Electric in the future!

I contacted Andrew based on all the positive reviews on Angie's List. He promptly returned my call in which I explained what was happening with the existing fixture. He provided me with suggestions as to replacements. Repair date was set-up as well. Andrew arrived right on time, which certainly is a plus. The old motion light was swapped out for the new one. The light was tested and worked. That evening we tested the light again and appeared that it wasn't sensing motion. I sent an email off to Andrew through Angie's List regarding the problem. Within 5 minutes our phone rang and it was Andrew providing me with suggestions on how to fix the possible problem. We followed his suggestions on adjusting the fixture. To our surprise Andrew again made a follow-up call as to whether the fixture was operating properly. I would highly recommend Andrew and wouldn't hesitate to use him again.

When I first called the company, I spoke directly with Andy Young to install a 220v outlet for an Electric Vehicle charger. I also mentioned that I had a few other lingering issues that I'd like to resolve on the same visit. It was clear from the questions Andy asked that he would be well prepared when he arrived. We set an appointment for 8-830am and he arrived prompt at 8am. I couldn't be happier with Andy. I am generally a do-it-yourself person, but knew that a professional job was needed for this short list. Not only did he do a great job, but also welcomed my watching and learning and he explained not only what he was doing, but why he was doing it. He was clearly very experienced and took pride in doing a thorough and professional job. It would be a pleasure to use Andy again and I hope I have that opportunity.
