If you want to have an EV charging station installed in your home you cannot go wrong with American Electric. We where put on the install schedule 2 hours after sending in the required photos and the charger installed within 24 hours later. Avery and Landen arrived on time and finished in 1 hour. The station looks like it has always been there with no hint on an recent construction. Will use them in the future if the need arises.

American Electric was very punctual and professional. They worked hard and kept us in the loop. The estimated time needed to upgrade the panel and outlets was 6-8 hours. We had no power. They finished in a record 5.5 hours. They even moved and put items back in place as necessary. We highly recommend American Electric!

It went well. The guys showed up on time and got to work. They ran into some unexpected issues (it's an old house, that will happen), but stuck with it until everything was sorted out. I've used this company several times in the past and I've always had good service with them.

Called on Aug 23, 2018 for an appointment. Office said they were booked out until Sept 4, 2018 so made appt for 10:00 am on Sept 4, first available date. Provided complete list of tasks to perform and was told I was on second call for 09/04. No one showed by 12:20 pm so called office and was told they had no record for my appointment. Front office was completely indifferent and said I would have to re-book. I had used this company in the past for two other jobs but never again. Guess American Electrical does not care about repeat customers.

I had my circuit breaker panel replaced with generator plugs installed. Scott and Eddie did an excellent job. They were professional, courteous and knew what they were doing. Three other companies were contacted..came out ..promised an estimate and never delivered. One had a similar name. Thanks to Ryan who advised my panel was a hazard...the other companies never mentioned this to me. AMERICAN ELECTRICAL is the company that will respond and complete the job.

Had an appt. set for 1/19/18 between noon & 3PM. 4:30PM called the office; have dealt w/this women once before on the phone, her mannerisms & tone has her coming across as abrupt & short!! Again, same approach on her part unfortunately having her answer the phone indicating that the tech apparently is running behind-DUH!! "NO" offer to call him and give me an update as to when I can expect him or if he's even coming. The problem w/this woman is she "maybe" doing her job, but has NO idea on how to "take care of business!!" Wouldn't allow this outfit to change a light bulb for me - NOW!!

Response from American Electrical Contracting Inc
We are sorry that the lady receiving the call was not as "warm and fuzzy" as the customer would like her to be. Sometimes when the phones are ringing off the hook and the office is buzzing with activity, there is the chance that someone may come off as abrupt or short. For that, we apologize. Rest assured that it is certainly not the norm. We have not earned an 'A' rating on over 500 reviews by abusing our customers.

Ricky was here for a full day with his super-efficient partner Carlos and came back for nearly another full day with his new helper Michael. They replaced numerous canister lights with LED canisters throughout the house, some with dimmers, and replaced other incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs. They also installed under-cabinet LED strips with dimmers in the kitchen. The strips require some sort of transformer box, which Ricky cleverly hid in closets so as not to take up needed cabinet space. Ricky is extremely knowledgeable and helped us with choices for different kinds of bulbs, including LEDs for chandeliers. He has a great sense of humor and a can-do attitude. HIs co-workers are equally customer-oriented. It is a pleasure to deal with such excellent service providers.
Description of Work: Ricky came to our house again to install additional LED lights and did not disappoint. We asked for him by name and always will ask for him again if we need additional electrical work done. (See our August 15, 2016 review.)

We wanted the system to be on an "easy standby" so that we could switch to the backup quickly in the event of a power outage. We spoke to Ryan first to Ryan who determined our needs, which included a new electrical panel. He quoted us the price and we agreed. On the scheduled day of installation Dwayne Current and Don Show arrived exactly on time. They worked steadfastly throughout the day and completed the job in about seven hours. The major "surprise" was that the new panel did not fit in the space of the old one. That added a couple of hours to the process. When the installation was completed, Dwayne spent a good hour with us answering questions and giving us step by step instructions on engaging and dis-engaging the system. He also gave us guidelines for what electrical systems we could power simultaneously with the backup generator, maintenance activities, and general proper care of the system. We were very impressed with his expertise and even more impressed with his ability and willingness to leave us with all we need to know to use the system effectively. We are very pleased with the interaction and would gladly engage the company again for other electrical issues.
Description of Work: We lost power for the better part of a week after Hurricane Irma. So, we bought a back-up generator and we engaged American Electrical to install it for us.

It went great. No problems. If we need an electrician, this is the company we will use. The person who installed the new panel box absolutely new what he was doing. He was very professional and arrived on time. The owner of this company is a wonderful man and makes sure that the customer is pleased with the job performed.

We had issues in the kitchen and while they were there they also checked off some problem we were having with the power. He told me what I needed to do to fix it. I don't even think he charged me for that, but as I said we like them. We've checked and seen better prices, but not as good service, we're willing to pay for the good service.

Not so good. I paid over $200 for nothing. The electricians either did not know how to work on a historic home or just simply "dilly dallied" sense it was the end of the work day. Was not pleased.

They gave me a time they'd be here. They were here within 15 minutes. Two fellows did the job and were out. They were clean and knew exactly what they were doing. They did it for the price they quoted me over the phone. They were very professional and personable. You didn't mind having them in your home. They did exactly what I needed and did it very well. They were very pleasant. There was no fooling around. They just did the job and left.

I had really good luck with them. They did excellent work. They really did do good work. One person came out to complete the work. It took probably 3/4 of a day, a little over, half a day, to complete the work. They were very neat and the quality of their work was excellent and the city inspector who looked at it said they did excellent work.

It went very good. He had to put an outlet in that had a button on it, and that's probably why it costs a little more. So the cost was probably fair.
