electrician, generator service
  + 0 more
This story goes back a few months but I want you to have the complete context. Back in March 2022, I contacted SW Florida Electric to service the Briggs and Stratton generator at our home. The generator was installed well before we bought the house so I cannot comment on how it was serviced in the past. The technician came and gave the unit a clean bill of health but said he could not touch the regulator because that wasn't his job. He also suggested that we sign a three year service agreement because it would save us money. That made sense at the time given that the generator was important and I wanted to ensure it was looked after correctly. Fast forward to September and the arrival of Hurricane Ian. The generator failed after four hours leaving us without power for 3.5 days. When they came out to look at the unit about a week after the storm, I was told the unit was not worth fixing and they would send me a quote for replacing it. Strange that it was fine back in March when they took a $1,500 service contract for it but then when it failed to work, it was not worth fixing. They did provide a quote to replace it that was thousands of dollars more than competitive quotes. I wrote to them asking them to cancel the service contract. Nothing. No acknowledgement. Just crickets. I don't normally write bad reviews but these guys have stretched my patience. It's pretty simple really. I don't need a service contract for a generator that they say is not worth fixing so please refund my money.

Harold was prompt and professional. He diagnosed the problem and did everything he could to try to avoid having to add the new circuit so he could save us money. The original wiring was too much for the current circuit breaker, so he had to add the circuit. Harold had to crawl around in our attic to get this job done, and he did so efficiently with minimum mess. Any mess there was, he cleaned up. We will definitely call this company again, and will request Harold as our technician!
Description of Work: Added a new circuit in master bath and checked all existing GFI's.

Harold was punctual, extremely polite, and just a pleasure to work with......He was so quick, I have never seen anyone remove a light fixture, completely assemble a fan and professionally install it then Harold. In the future, all of my electrical needs will be going to Southwest Florida Electric. THANK YOU Southwest Florida Electric and Harold!!!!

From the beginning to the end of the project, the communication and exchange of detail was excellent. Also, their flexibility to meet my schedule was also superb. The technicians who came out on site were also just as communicative and helpful as well as being true professionals in their areas of expertise. The job went as smoothly as it could go.

The experience of working with this company was amazing. The first interaction came in less than 24 hours from their office by a woman named Jessica. We connected via the phone, I told her the situation and she was very knowledgeable and able to let me know that the technician would look at the situation and provide all possible alternatives. She quoted me the rates based on time and material, because there was no way to estimate the job. The technician, Brence, showed up right on time. He surveyed the situation, provided me three alternatives (pros/cons) of each and talked me through what it would take to do the job in each scenario. He was professional, respectful and very pleasant to work with on this project. The project was completed in a little less than 2 hour (another company had taken over 3 hours to do a cable drop in a very easy space). The work space was completely clean, when he left you could not tell that anyone had done work in the house. He reviewed the invoice with me, asked if I had any questions, took his time. This was a great experience and I would absolutely use this company again and recommend them to others.
Description of Work: Cabling for television on an outside wall, directly at the lowest point in the crawl space with very little room to work. Others told me could not be done.

Jeremy was a fantastic professional and stayed with the project until it was finished. We are very pleased with the responsiveness of the company and would definitely recommend them to other customers.
Description of Work: We had two post lanai lights that were not working. Jeremy identified the problem, an underground junctions box with a burned wire. He installed two junctions boxes, installed a bubble cover on an outside receptacle, sized and installed two new light post fixtures and generally brought everything up to code and in working order.

We called Southwest Florida Electric to replace a ceiling fan in a bedroom. Brence was the service tech they sent out and he was awesome. He was on time, very professional, and knowledgeable. He replaced the ceiling fan quickly with no problems. In fact, he gave us the option of putting in a new switch that allows us to control both the fan and the lift from the wall switch. We will definitely call Southwest Florida Electric for any future electrical needs and recommend them to our friends and family.

Description of Work: I had a problem with the circuit breaker. Jeramie came out and checked all over and found the problem. and he fixed it , but that wasn't the complete problem and power only lasted a couple of days and I had to call back and Jaren came , the owner the second time and found another problem I had outside , and he took care of that. and he noticed another electric switch that needed to be taken care of and fixed that , but didn't charge me. I felt they were very professional and friendly and knowledgable. It feels good to know that I have someone that will respond to my electrical problems that I can trust.

We looked up the top 5 electrical service companies in the Fort Myers area, and choose Southwest Florida Electric because they were located in Ft Myers. We called Southwest Florida Electric on a emergency call on Friday around 4 pm , They said they would send someone out in about an hour, Jeremy arrived at 5;30 pm . We explained to him that the breaker in the electrical panel cannot be reset, and that half our house was without power. . He starting opening up the outlets until he found the problem, One outlet was causing the short by a wire touching the outlet box, so he fixed it and that let the breaker reset itself. He was in and out in under an hour, My husband and I were impressed with their quick response to "our" emergency. This was not a deal we bought because it was an emergency , but I reviewed the top recommended service providers and then called one. Jeremy left our house at 6:30 pm on a Friday night and his service sheet listed their hours as 9 am - 5 pm. I give them A++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Description of Work: we came home from shopping and half our house was without power. The cleaning people had left and we think they had caused the problem. The electrical breaker could not be reset and kept tripping off.

Brence came out as scheduled the next day, quickly diagnosed the problem, found the nail that was the culprit. He removed the microwave, went into the wall , repaired the circuit. and put everything neatly back in place. He explained everything as he was doing it. He also detailed what he had done so we could go back to the installer. We are very pleased with the work and how professionally it was done.
Description of Work: Repaired a circuit behind a kitchen wall that was shorting out. A couple of days before appliance store workers while installing a new microwave apparently drove a nail into the circuit feeding some counter outlets while setting up a bracket to hold the micro wave, The microwave power was unaffected. This was only discovered a day later when we realized that some of our outlets were not working. After reviewing Angie's' list we called Southwest Florida Electrical. .
