Mr. Wireman Electric

Needed a couple bathroom fans installed, bought $99 coupon for 2 hours of service, easily a less than 2 hour job. Started badly with the tech saying "this is level 2 and it costs more and doesn't count for the coupon I'll have to talk to my mamanger" even though I confirmed before they came this is what I needed and I was using the coupon. Then after my protests he's calling back and forth and they decided to do the work. Once they did it, everything was fine, he installed the vent backwards and when I showed him it was wrong and told him how to fix it, he did and everything has been working fine since.

I used one of their big deals. The guy was good. He was great. He couldn't finish because I didn't have the rest of the equipment that was needed; but it's a bit of frustrating thing because one would not know what they need all the time, so that was great. I really appreciated him. I bought two big deals. He tried to fix my light to my kitchen, but I had only two pieces and I needed more. He worked for 4 hours. He was fine. It is sad that they told me that they would there by 11, so I went to the store to get some stuff and I got back before 11. Then I just kept waiting and apparently, they had come before I got back. We had to reschedule again. I didn't think that he would be able to come back so soon and it was great. He was aloof and competent guy. I really had to provide everything. If they give the ladder, I have to give them equipment and I had to give the bulb. There was one thing that was fabulous that I stopped using a switch years ago because it smelled like a fire and he pointed out that it was not the right switch for the fixture, so that was devastating. He was wonderful. He was just very low-key. The big deal was fabulous. I don't know how much they would cost if they don't have a big deal. The big deal was stupendous.

Had to do a follow-up visit, since one of the ceiling fans was not installed properly the first time around. I did not feel that I got a "deal" on the price. Thought the $99 was a hook to reel me in. Would have preferred to have gotten a couple of other estimates before spending the money.

Very good, will use them again

Very nice and professional, but price estimate was too high!

Went well. Was courteous, professional, and very timely. Well recommended.

This service was great! I would use it again, and would recommend to anyone.

I called in to Mr. Electric a month ago to schedule my work for tomorrow. Everything seemed fine until today when I called in to confirm my appointment they said they had to look through some stuff and they would call back in a little bit, three hours have passed and they still haven't contacted me. Their voicemail box is full so I can't leave a message. I am completely in the dark with this company as to whether I am scheduled for work tomorrow or not. The contact Margaret Anglin has never been there an never responded to me. If they can explain to me why they weren't able to call me back and that I am scheduled for work tomorrow I would be more than happy to change this review to a better one.

Roman and Frank did not know why they were at my home for so Roman called someone and confirm that they were here to label the circuit breaker box. They checked everything, one writing and the other at the panel. To my non-electrician eyes, they seemed to be thorough. They were careful walking around the house. They told me they had to take the written list back to the office to run it through the computer. They were supposed to be back February 8 to finish the job but they were no show. I talked to Lonnie and we set up another appointment for February 13. Again, no show although Lonnie called and told me they were running late at another job but would come anyway. They never came. Finally, on February 15, Roman showed up around 2:30 pm. (not sure of exact time), and spent a few minutes pasting a handwiritten label on the circuit panel door. By the way, they were supposed to be between 12 & 2, but Roman showed up at 11:00 and we were not available, so he had to come back later. I do not have a way of knowing whether the list is ok or not. It appears to be ok.

Good. Nice guy, went out of his way to please.

The technician arrived in an unmarked truck which was the first flag for me. He explained that they were going through a name change and the trucks weren’t completed. I asked to see his license to verify. His license had expired in 2012 so that was another major flag. I called Mr. Wireman and spoke with someone in the office who advised that he was a master electrician and the journeyman could work under him. However, there was nobody else on site with the journeyman. I asked him to do an estimate for GFI outlet that I wanted to have replaced and he said that it would be $112 to replace. I know that it wouldn’t be that expensive so I turned him away and requested a refund.

The two representatives from Mr. Wireman Electric arrived as scheduled, with their uniforms on, and proceeded to review the job with me what they would need to do to successfully wall mount the large screen tv and went about performing the services we discussed. They engaged us in the process when decisions needed to be made, for example, at what height the tv should be mounted at for the best viewing and use of the various options of the full motion wall mount we had purchased. They provided their expert opinion based on their experiences in other installations and that was very valuable when unsure how to proceed. They cleaned up after themselves when done and were professional every step of the way. If we have other electrical work to be performed they will be the first on our list to call.

I purchased an Angie's List "Big Deal" for 2 hours of labor by Mr. Wireman. I wrote to Mr. Wireman by email on January 12 to schedule service. I waited several days, and did not receive a reply. I then called them, speaking to "Lonnie" and scheduled an appointment for January 23rd between 8 and 10 AM. Lonnie called me at 7:50 AM on the date of the appointment to inform me that two of his technicians were out sick, and asked if I could reschedule. I agreed to reschedule for the same period the next day. Technician "Marvin" showed up about 9:20 AM as scheduled the next day. I had already installed a spotlight outside and ran a wire to a new junction box in the attic. All I requred was for the electrician to snake a wire down from the attic through an outside wall to a location for a new switch, and to electrify the light. After evaluating existing light switch locations (by removing the switches and then replacing them), Marvin suggested an alternative location for the switch that would take less time (cost less money) to install. I was satisfied with his suggestion and appreciated that he offered it. He then wired the switch as I requested. He used my materials, except for a switch that he supplied. The light tested fine, and his work was completed in about 75 minutes. He was neat, courteous and professional. He did not try to sell me anything I didn't ask for. Reading some other reviews, I was skeptical of this "deal," but in fact it turned out to be a good bargain. I think a buyers results will depend on the quality of the technician who shows up, and I was most fortunate to have it be Marvin.

He was very good. He was quite, polite and clean. He did the work and left. And the price was reasonable.

Initial contact was when a member came out, and we walked through the inital work to be done, the quoted the prices from a 'chart' that listed most types of work and prices and which they showed me, what each task would cost, Once agreed to, we set a date, and they showed up on time, actually an half hour early, and quickly got to work with a two man team. The first two tasks were completed within 3 hours, while the final had to be rescheduled when the outside hired lift was a no show and arrived three days later. That day, again they were prompt and the work took two days to complete due to the slowness of the lift and its tendancy to break down, as well as dealing with a racoon that also claimed the tree as his home. All in all the work was excellent, they could have charged me more due to the delays caused by the troublesome lift and the racoon, but they did not. I should note, as I did above, $500 of the overall price went to cover the rental of a lift from an outside firm, and close to another $200 was costs of the city permit, so the actual costs from Mr. Wireman itself for all their work is closer to $500

Serviceman was courteous and neat. I asked him for an additional job estimate, which was performed the same day. Everything worked out perfectly!

I purchased a deal to have an outdoor outlet installed. Since I did not want my outlet directly behind the indoor one, there was an additional charge for locating where I wanted, but this was understood from the deal. I also had some additional work done, installing outdoor outlet covers and a dimmer inside. The electrician explained everything, and even helped me track down a faulted GFI circuit, at no charge. They arrived promptly, and completed the job plus extras as promised. I would recommend them.

I was moving to a new home and purchased two "Angie's Deals" for TV mounting. I believe the price was $139 per TV. I prepaid around $280 plus tax for two TVs. Two young men came over for the installation. One was pleasant. One was bordering on rude. They were both totally unprepared for the job. They did not have the correct screws or bolts to go through an exterior wall or a wall with metal beams. Nobody asked me where the TVs were to be hung or what kind of walls I had in advance of the installation. The installers went to Home Depot, and were gone so long I didn't think they were coming back. When they did get back, I learned of several additional charges. They were going to charge me an extra $60 per TV to hide my electrical wire, and because one of my TVs was a 65-inch (my "deal" covered up to a 55-inch TV), they charged me an extra approx $250. Originally they told me they were giving me a deal because that charge covered both the price of installing the larger TV and raising an electrical outlet on an exterior solid wall. In the end, I told them to leave the wires exposed and not raise the outlet, but they still charged me the same amount. To make matters worse, the TV is a bit crooked. I'm going to have to have it fixed. Beware of pre-? purchasing services. My understanding is that Angie's Deals cannot be returned.

My husband oversaw the work and gave them another electrical job as he was happy with their services and would recommend them and use them again.

See above. The Tech did not know what the job was to be when he arrived. If he had, he would have known that a ladder was needed.

The clean up afterward was not that good. He did a good job and he was very professional and nice. The work was good. He was on time. It was just one day, he came in the morning and finished in the evening. His price was a little high. They have a catalog and they look in the catalog and base their price off of the catalog. He did the calculation with the Angie’s List price, which would have been for one fan, and we were desperate to get the work done so we had him do the rest. They were on time. If I could find someone less expensive and do the same quality work, I would go for it. It is all cataloged and structured, which is all-good.

They were on time and very professional. I originally needed 2 things to be done. I asked on the phone would they be able to install a doorbell and move an outlet from one side of the wall to exactly the same side on the other side ,in 2 hours. I was told they could. When they got there and saw the job I was requesting, I was told that they would not have time to do the other task because the doorbell installation would take up the 2 hours. Well, they finished with @ 20 min to spare.....

I was surprised that Mister Sparky - Davie didn't charge me any extra. I thought the deal was for one person for two hours. It took two of them almost the two hours to get the job done and they didn't charge me any more money. They did a real nice job, too. The lighting company swore there was 16 foot of chain in the box which there wasn't. So the guys had to come back the next day. They did the job the day before Thanksgiving where I was afraid it wouldn't happen.

Purchased an Angie?s List Big Deal for 2 Hours of Electrical Service for $99. When i called to make an appointment, I received a next day appointment which was impressive. Roman arrived late on a Friday afternoon and it was obvious he was not motivated to work. I showed Roman the ?punch list? from the home inspection which listed several minor projects. I asked him to replace the main disconnect and he did look at it, but he never changed it. He ended up selling me a whole house surge protector for $199 and I do feel he was fully competent and experienced in working on the electrical service. I felt the $99 Big Deal was a waste of money. While looking at punch list Roman noticed the ceiling fans were incorrectly wired. He pointed it out to me and I asked him to rewire but he would not correct the wiring because he wanted me to buy a nearly $3,000 wiring project. I would not use them again.

In finding the problem and fixing it, they were very efficient. I have no problem with that. My objection to Mr. Sparky is based on its business model. As I mentioned above, the very first thing the electrician did was to talk about their fee system. He presented a laminated list of graded services ranging from a low of $57 to a high of $1089. He said my problem fell under Category 4 at $225. He said that $225 would be the price whether it took him 10 minutes or 10 hours to fix it. That works out to an effective hourly rate of either $1350 for 10 minutes or $22.50 for 10 hours. Running a new wire for the microwave would fall under Category 7 at $432, but he would have to come another day because he didn't have the proper wire on his truck. Now his truck was the size of a small moving van, so I assume its purpose is to carry a great deal of equipment. I find it hard to believe that an electrician's huge truck would not carry a supply of wire. What I conclude from this two- day deal is that it was intended to justify the two-tiered fee system. By paying him $225 on Wednesday and $432 on Saturday, I guess I am not supposed to notice that correcting my problem actually cost $657. After he replaced the outlet on Wednesday, I asked the electrician about several other electrical projects I was considering, including replacing all the landscape lighting front and back, and repairing the underwater pool light, and installing a security spotlight in the backyard. He said that they could take care of all those things, but the cost of the landscape lights would depend on which fixtures I selected. He said he would drop off some brochures when he returned. On Saturday, he said they had no more in the office, but that he would drop them off on Monday. That was the last I ever heard from him. I do not like the pricing menu that Mr. Sparky uses, but I like even less that it does not follow through on commitments. I was prepared to offer them several sizable projects, but I certainly do not want to do any further business with a company that shows such contempt for its clients. And did I mention that the electrician who came both times is the office manager?
