Electricians were extremely prompt and did a thorough professional job, and finished the three parts of the job in about an hour. They were very communicative about what they were doing.

The workmen arrived earlier than the scheduled appointment, which ended up working out. They did a preliminary examination of all three issues and fixed one ballast before heading to the store to get the ballast for the other fixture. After a thorough going-over of the power supply to the hot tub (breakers, wiring, junction box), they opened up the hot tub to discover that the issue resides within the hot tub, which requires a different repairman. The senior technician (whose name escapes me) took the trouble to explain to me exactly what was going on in the hot tub, and even marked up various things (such as what wire goes to what part!) to facilitate locating them in the future. No complaints about working in somewhat adverse weather conditions (cool & still wet from overnight rains), either. They were done in just over 2 1/2 hours. I hope I won't be needing an electrician again soon, but if I do I'll call these folks.
Description of Work: The technicians addressed 2 interior (replacing ballasts in fluorescent fixtures) and one exterior issue (troubleshooting the apparent lack of power to the hot tub).

Called and company sent out electricians Jarrod and Cullen. They arrived within 45 minutes! Explained problems I was having. They looked over the situation and determined I need a new electrical box and breakers that they did not have on truck. Went to Gainesville picked up parts, returned and installed them. Started heat and worked fine. Work was done safely and professionally. Excellent job!! Would definitely use this business again and request Jarrod and Cullen if available.
Description of Work: Installed new electrical box and breakers to A/C and heat unit. Also cut back burnt wire. Checked out voltage to wiring installation. Started heat and all checked out good.

Totally professional and helpful. Matt made recommendations on what we should do, procured the necessary items, and installed them. He then showed the kids and their room mates how to operate everything and was very easy to deal with.
Description of Work: We live out of state in Maryland but have three children at UF. We purchased a house for them to live in while at UF and as a possible investment property for later. We initially hired P-L to do repair and replace outside lighting last summer, and when we decided to convert a storage room to a bathroom Matt of Preston-Link coordinated and performed the electrical work. It was outstanding and timely. They have done other work for us as well on the property, which we have been equally pleased with, including quick responses to issues at the house.

From the start, Preston Link was professional. Eric came out the same day that I called to give me a quote and showed up when he sadi he would. He spent the time to carefully inspect the job site and explained to me all that would be involved. Later that day, he email me a detailed price quote. Once I approved the job, a team was sent out a couple of days later. The guys were courteous, friendly and professional. At the end of the day, the subpanel kept tripping, so they went through a trouble-shooting process which pointed to only one thing–the circuit (which I had bought on eBay) must be bad. Eric even went to bat for me when the eBay vendor wanted to be sure that it was indeed the circuit. Satisfied, the vendor shipped me a replacement circuit, which I was able to simply pop in and connect myself. The panel works great and now my hot tub is running full steam!

They showed up on time to check out the job to prepare an estimate. A detailed estimate was delivered by email in a couple of days. When I approved the job, their crew was on time each day, professional, friendly, and did excellent work. They also made a few last minute changes (extra switches and timer) at no additional cost. The results are exactly what we wanted.
Description of Work: Wired back porch, large deck detached from house, and water pump. Installed two ceiling fans and lights (separately remotely switched) on deck. Installed timer box for pump.

We called this company because they were well rated on Angie's list and we were not disappointed. The two guys that came, Dwight and Tyler, were very pleasant and Dwight in particular was very knowledgeable. They had to make three visits to complete all the work (the last visit was because I needed to get different outside lights for my porch since the ones I bought were too small for the outlet). They were very efficient and Dwight pointed out some electrical issues we had not considered when we built the house. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who needs electrical work done. Although our jobs were relatively simple, I have little doubt they can handle much more complicated work, and I regret that they were not the electrical subcontractor when we built our house. All builders in Gainesville should strongly consider this company when they bid for an electrical subcontractor.
Description of Work: We called them to handle a number of small electrical jobs, none of which were very complicated: 1. Replace three outside lights 2. Fix light switch in guest bedroom 3. Repair under cabinet lights in kitchen and pantry (required a new ballast for one light) 4. Change overhead lights in garage (one of which required a new ballast) 5. Fix dead switch in garage that controlled all outside outlets 6. Change out batteries in smoke detectors 7. Change under cabinet lights in master bedroom

They were good though they showed up ealier than the time the secretary and I had agreed to and it looked like they were going to either have to rescedule but fortunately were able to make it later in the same day....They need to ensure with their office that they have the right times for the appt. My job was fairly easy fix for them, it was just a string that got wound up in the motor of the fan , from a ballon, and took them about 1/2 hour to get it working again. But now the fan is still going on by itself and still lights up at nite...so i'm gonna have to call them again and this maybe a true test to see how good they are.
Description of Work: Basically helped to repair a celing fan that has been on the blink for past few months....essentially they didn't do anything remarkable other than find that a string had been wound up in the motor from a helium balloon that w andered over into the fan. No big deal and really was a very fix for them, but they are good and will probably use them again for other electrical repairs

After waiting over a week for another electrician to take a look at my project, I called Preston-Link after reading the other positive reviews on Angie's. I spoke to Heather, who was friendly and responsive. She was able to have Matt stop by within the hour to give an estimate. Matt showed up promptly, inspected the room and attic space, and gave me a verbal estimate that he followed up via e-mail that same afternoon. I particularly appreciated that he advised me that the fan I had purchased was larger than necessary. (I exchanged the fan for one that is just the right size for the room.) He was able to schedule the work for the next day and it took 3 hours instead of 4. The two workmen who did the installation were very personable and conscientious. They arrived promptly, answered my questions, and cleaned up along the way. They had to add a new fan/light switch and cut through the wood paneling. I am very pleased with the service I received.
Description of Work: Installed a ceiling fan with light fixture in a room that did not have an electrical receptacle for one. Ceiling was steeply sloped, paneled in wood, and only had a narrow 8-inch space between roof. I had purchased the ceiling fan at a big box store and also needed it to be assembled before hooking it up.

Gera and his team worked with us over three months as we remodeled our house. Gera met with us and went over our plans, then emailed and phone conferenced with us as those plans had to be modified. The electricians came out and worked when promised, met with the inspectors, etc. There were a few hiccups. At one point different electricians came out to work on our project and didn't understand what the previous electricians had done--when the former electricians returned to the job, they also didn't understand what the replacements had done. At one point, the electrician showed up to fix something and had to open up our brand new drywall to access a wire. Later that week another wire didn't work and they had to put two large access holes in our drywall in another room. Everything works, though, now.
Description of Work: Replaced and refitted our entire electric including working with GRU to bury our electric cables and reposition our meter.

The breaker box is located in the kitchen utility closet. The Condo has no attic space to run electrical wires so they ran it through the back of the kitchen cabinets. Did a great job working in a very tight space. Cleaned up before they left. Very satisfied with the work.
Description of Work: Installed a dedicated 20 amp circuit for microwave.
