Driven Power Systems

This review is to correct my prior review. I thought the tech. & company didn't respond to our follow up request for service. Both did. We missed their call and I didn't recognize the new ANGI name when looking for them on my e-mail. We sincerely apologize for our mistake and hope the Power Driven will provide the service we requested. Sincerely, Francis Sullivan

I took down a ceiling fan in an old house. When I went to hook the new one up there were some obvious problems that I could not trace. Driven sent a team out quickly. And for the second time on this old house, the service was stellar. Not at the beginning since they sent a team that was new to trouble shooting. But they only charged me for 2 hours out of 5 hours of climbing up and down in the attic. The next team fixed the job in 1 hour, (little more experience in trouble shooting,) and didn't charge me for the time. I have more work to do and Driven Power systems is the only company I'll call!

Project went great! James came out very quickly for the estimate, which was reasonable. The work was scheduled and completed quickly. Everyone was super nice and knowledgeable! Highly recommend!!

James and Tiffany are great! It is always great to find a locally owned and operated business that will provide reliable and trustworthy service. James gave me an honest evaluation of the scope of work needed and saved me from the predatory practices of a competitor. Danny has come out several times to provide various electric services and repairs. He has gone above and beyond expectation in punctuality, professionalism and quality of work. We will definitely continue to use Driven Power!

I had a problem with my power (dimming lights, fridge kept turning off and on, a/c trying to restart). I called Tiffany and described it. She said to call Duke Energy, as it sounded like their equipment was at fault. She could have charged me for a service call to confirm that it was Duke's equipment, but she didn't! Duke came out and fixed it. I was so impressed about her being service oriented that I had them install 2 exhaust fans. I charged for only what I needed done. The technicians were polite and fast! The cost was less than some other estimates I got. This company is a keeper for me!

Great. Danny and his partner did a great job. They were professional, courteous and explained everything. Everything was tested and their were no problems. The company was very responsive and professional as well. I would definitely use this company again and I highly recommend them.

Clinton was professional and did a quality job. He kept the area clean and was courteous and tackled any problems that came up. I would definitely recommend him and the company. James worked with me and allowed me to save some money by spacing and cutting the holes and purchasing my own lights. Great job guys. Thank you and we will definitely use you for any future electrical needs.

James, the owner stopped by both times I called. Since this was a DIY project I couldn't quite get right. Both times he gave me free advice and said call him if needed again. I didn't need him again on this one since his advice panned out, but will definately use Driven Power Systems again. Next time I'll skip the DIY portion.

Great. Responsive, on time, good price. Completed job in timely manner. If I need electrical work done in the future, I will give them my first call.

Great from the start. James came and worked with me and was BY FAR the most honest and helpful. Instead of pushing a $12K unit, we discussed needs and best fit. Tiffany was great to follow up with and the two men Steve and Danny who came out to do the work were professional, kind, gentle with my crazy Siamese cat and so helpful in explaining what I need to know and how to work the system. Even went out of their way to ensure I had oil and gas to do a test run. I have friends who think they can use a portable generator and just plug a heavy duty line in to the house and run with it - I"m having them come out and see how it SHOULD BE DONE!

Driven Power did OUTSTANDING work—a thousand dollars less (1/3 less) for twice the work that other top Angie’s list companies quoted for the job, including the highest quality materials. This company (Driven Power Systems) was recommended by Spa Manufacturers, Inc. (Ulmerton) because of their impeccable work and low prices (Driven Power does a lot of their customers' hookups). We needed more extensive electrical work done than that—we needed an electrical system to run to a new back yard entertainment center that will include a big swim spa, TV, and bar embedded in decking with a full yard lighting system. This company installed a 70-amp subpanel at the back of the yard (to power everything) and ran 80 feet of trenching that ran from the house to that subpanel and then to the entertainment center--and they included spa hookup and permits, all for $2100, with top-notch materials (copper wiring, etc.). A different company on Angie’s list quoted $3200 just to run wiring to the swim spa ALONE at 50 amps (with 45 feet of trenching) EXCLUDING permits and no spa hookup. Half the job at 1/3 more money. The best part is the outstanding work. We had the crew with Danny and Steven. They have been installing electrical systems for 10 years and really know their stuff. They were meticulous in their work and a pleasure to work with. They even ran the wiring UNDER the small extender roots of a large tree in the back yard so that the tree would not experience any shock (even though they could have just cut through them without damaging the tree). They do all the trenching by hand so that they don’t accidentally cut through something with a power trencher—but it was just as fast, because they work fast, and they really care about their work. I was able to fully trust their judgment and their work. We are very excited now to see the entertainment center come to life!

I think I finally found my electrician! This was a simple job, but James was the only one that provided a free estimate, didn't need to show up at my house to do so, but still wanted to look at pictures to give an accurate one. Everyone else either threw out a standard number without looking at or asking about my situation, or required an appointment for the (typically paid) estimate. He even identified the third double-tapped breaker, which I had missed, from the pictures. He gave a very competitive bid and stuck to it, bringing my wiring up to code for my insurance company without performing unnecessary tasks for unnecessary fees. One of the other companies even claimed they needed to upgrade my entire panel (it is almost full) to the tune of $3000+! In addition to the paid work, James also looked at another issue I had and provided suggestions I could implement myself, as well as an estimate for a third item, all at no additional charge. The entire interaction with Driven Power Systems was very pleasant from start to finish. James is very clean, professional, calm, and a nice person who clearly cares about his craft, his business, and his customers. His wife handled the communication and administrative tasks, and was both very pleasant, punctual, and accurate. This is a great example of why it's often better to work with a small company where you get to interact directly with the owners. They simply care more about their business and reputation than any hired employee ever can.

Owner was great to work with both times. Friendly, pleasant demeanor, professional, great work ethic, cleaned up well after completion of the job, great job quality wise. Will dfinitely seek out again, likewise would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great electrician. Has had his own business for a year now. Just someone you would like to see continue to grow his business. Congratulations on your one-year anniversary.

We have found our "Forever Electrician"! I called James this morning to set up a time to come look at a light that wasn't working. First impression was very professional, and even personable, which is very nice on days when things are going wrong!

Fine. Power wound up working again before service call, but GFCI was replaced and breaker diagnosis was completed. Very satisfied.

It was a difficult job to find where the problem was. James spent the time and found a receptacle outside that had burnt wires. He replaced that receptacle with a new GFCI receptacle and weather proof housing. James worked around my schedule, showed up when he said he would, was professional kept in contact with me all morning, since I had to go to work. Very glad that I called him. Would highly recommend him.

Was great working with them. On time and flexible scheduling. Definitely would use again and will recommend.

Very well, I am so pleased with the workmanship of this company. Bought a fixer-upper about a year ago with lots of electrical issues. Maverick and J made them all go away! They are the most reliable and dependable electricians I've ever dealt with. They were a pleasure working with. Professionalism and manners from start to finish. I highly recommend them for any electrical needs! Pam from St Pete

James and his crew did everything they said they would and more so. They communicate well, they show up and the got the job done. Excellent company.

James and his team are professional, friendly and hard working. They did an excellent job and I wouldn't hesitate to use them in the future.

James was great. He answered the phone on the first call and within a few minutes of telling him what we needed done, he agreed. Within 1 hour he had went to the property and the job was completed. I will definitely keep James' phone number in my cell phone for any other electrical jobs I need in the future.

These guys performed a complex list of jobs with a two man team under a crazy deadline. They're now saved in my phone permanently. On a Sunday of a 3 day weekend (the worst day to ever find quality work) I threw up my hands in desperation and decided to look for an electrician. My wife and I had purchased a house and were remodeling it, but our contractor was falling short in every way. As I asked him to help me trace a complete mess of electrical wires in the attic, his eyes went glassy. I knew then that I needed professionals. I placed some ads on Craigslist - trying to use the power of the internet, and had a bunch of missed opportunities. In addition, I created my own ad for electrician wanted. I specified must be licensed. James contacted me, sent me an email, and included his license. He also said it was $90/hr for him and his brother to come out together. this told me three things: #1: He paid attention to detail in my ad #2: They go out proactively and seek out more work, and #3: He gave the impression that he knows what the **** he's doing. (which turned out to be the case). At first The $90/hr seemed high, but I then realized it was for TWO people - and anyone that knows complicated electrician work knows that two people can accomplish MORE than twice the amount of work than one person can in the same amount of time. That's 45/hr for one person, which is far less than the going rate for a master electrician. Why is two people better? Well it might not be for you, but is sure was for me! They have to trace switches, circuits, breakers, safety issues, etc. Have you ever tried to trace something yourself in a house that was a disaster? These guys came with the right tools, the radios, and instilled confidence the minute they walked up my driveway. Of course, I was a typical customer and kept adding "this" or "that" to their list, trying to squeeze in a little bit more work. We touched bases throughout their work to see where we stood time/moneywise. They didn't work a few hours and stand around and take breaks. They just worked..solid...continuous. Through all of this they never complained, grunted, or looked shocked when I added things - they just kept on truckin' without skipping a beat. When they left the house that day, I felt confident. Confident that my house wouldn't catch fire, confident that they performed their work perfectly - confident in every way. After all - isn't that what I was paying for? Confidence that someone else completed a task in the exact proper way as they should, because I don't have the same education or training to do it myself. Even if they were expensive (which they're not) the primary question is safety, and cost is second on the list. Update 2/27/17: James came out again - on a Sunday, a week later...but not because he did something wrong, but because I told him electricity in the room wasn't working. He informed me throughout the day of his status until he arrived. He found the problem, but it was not a mistake - it was a GFCI circuit in the fuse panel that had been tripped. I didn't know about it. He showed me, and then left with a smile. He didn't try to gouge me for more money, knowing that I had paid a good wage for professional expertise the week prior. If I ever need anyone again, I'm calling these guys. I do not know them personally, but would recommend them to anyone. Anyone that knows what the heck they're doing, works their butt off, is punctual, proactive, and makes me feel very confident in the outcome...will ALWAYS have my vote

Great guy, would hire again. He was able to make it out and complete the job on the same day I called. Very friendly and passionate about his work. They are a young company but seem to have the ground work laid to have a long successful business. Moving forward they will be my first choice for any electrical work.

Maverick arrived at my house promptly at the agreed upon time and was done with the work in less time than was estimated. I mentioned it bothered me that my can lights weren't quite flush with the ceiling and he fixed those for me at no additional charge! I have some work I need done that includes adding new lights and a few new outlets and I plan to hire Driven Power again, no questions.
