Description of Work: I called this morning about moving a light switch and electrical socket. The office person was very polite and scheduled us for a visit today at 1 pm. Mike and Jerry arrived right on time. They reviewed our project and went straight to work. They were most professional and courteous and a joy to have working on our project. They did a great job, tested and cleaned up their mess. These guys were just super!

We obviously prefer to honor coupons at the time of service because it saves us that extra step & cost of doing it later. However, if you contact us in a short period of time after your service we will honor your Angie’s List Coupon.

Thank you for being a customer. When you need electrical work done properly, call us like this customer did. Understand that while knowing the rate to do a job is important, our knowledge allows us to complete jobs for less than those that quote lower prices but take longer to do the same job. If you have questions call us, we will be happy to assist.

Great from start to finish.
Description of Work: I had an electrical switch that was not working correctly and gave my daughter a buzz when she truned it on, so I called them right away. They had someone at my house in one hour! They fixed the problem, a lose connection, in no time and explained what was wrong and what they were doing. They even gave me more helpful tips on some other electrical questions I had. They even gave me a military discount. I will be calling them again and recommending them to everyone I know who needs this type of company. Thank you American Electrical.

Response from American Electrical Contracting Inc
Thank you for the good review & bringing out an important point. Not only will our technicians tell you how to save money on service calls, our office personnel will also. One of the most frequent requests is, the outlets in my bathroom, kitchen or outside are not working. In many of those cases you may have a tripped GFCi outlet. These are the outlets that have a reset button. They are a safety devices used in the aforementioned locations. They are designed to trip at the first sign of danger. For example, the first sign of moisture will make them trip to save you from a potentially dangerous electrical shock in the bathroom. We frequently walk customers through the process of determining what the problem is over the phone. However, if after a few simple steps the problem is not resolved, we will dispatch a crew. We will not expose customers to danger or ask them to do something they are not comfortable doing. Keep in mind that electricity is dangerous and you are far better off having a licensed electrician work for you rather than trying to save money by taking care of something yourself or using that guy, in every neighborhood that knows everything. We are licensed & insured which is a requirement anyone that works at your home should meet.

Description of Work: Called two days ago to discuss costs and availability for electrical work at my residence. Was quickly transferred to a voicemail. Not sure who I was tranferred too, just the standard leave a voicemail and beep. Very unprofessional. Haven't received a call back since leaving the voicemail. If they don't have the time to return sales calls they surely don't have the time to complete a job. On to the next in hopes of finding someone dependable.

Dear Member Uncharacteristically we have seen 2 bad reviews in a row. NOT for our work but the reviews still point to dissatisfaction by 2 prospective customers. We are an attentive company & the way we do business is partially shaped by our customers. This situation will be reviewed & corrected. Thank you for your input.

Thank you for the good review. As a commercial & residential contractor, we have crews that are skilled in every facet of electrical work. For an A/C contractor to do a great job it is a team effort. We make sure we live up to their expectations so they can provide you with excellent service. A/C is not a luxury in Florida it’s a necessity that must be reliable. It is also a very competitive field with many contractors. The member stays in business because he does excellent work & keeps you cool.

Description of Work: I reported an issue with my GFI breaker tripping and inability to reset. Called on 5/23 and set up appt for 1300 on 5/24. I was met by Shawn & Justin. They were ahead of schedule so punctuality is not an issue. Both were very friendly and professional and troubleshot my problem, which was fortunately not in my wiring, but in a defective pool pump that kept tripping the breaker. Due to the age of the house Shawn determined where the "homerun" was and installed a new GFI at that point. He also recommended that due to the type of wiring in our house he recommended a surge for our service panel and gave me a quote. I also had them check the wiring to a smoke detector and found that our detector was bad. They replaced that as well. They were in the house no more than an hour and determined the problem and fixed it. I had mentioned that I had gone to Angie's List before I called an electrician and went to American, because of what I read fm other customers. I will definitely use and refer American Electrical Contracting in the future.

Response from American Electrical Contracting Inc
Member, thank you for your review. Compared to regular circuit breakers GFi Ground Fault Interrupter circuit breakers are a new breed of protection designed to detect any interruption of current flow & immediately trip to save human life. The standard circuit breakers detect when more amperage is consumed on the circuit than the rating of the circuit breaker. They protect your home from overcurrent conditions that can start electrical fires. Shawn did the right thing by introducing surge protection to you because when good surge protectors, like the ones we install, are used, they offer protection of devices plugged into your outlets that circuit breakers usually do not react to, or react too late. Many older homes do not have the same degree of protection as the homes being built today. If you are not using many appliances & other eletrical devices in your old home there is nothing to be concerned about. However, if your lights frequently dim or you cannot run certain appliances at the same time, you may need a panel change or upgrade.

Description of Work: I retained them to do an inspection of the electrical system in my house, which is very old and has a wide assortment of wiring types (knob & tube, aluminum, romex, etc.). They did the same inspection they usually do for insurance companies, but charged me a lot less since they didn't have to do a bunch of paperwork. They did a very thorough job of inspecting the breakers, wiring, outlets, etc., then replaced some of the outlets and made some very reasonable recommendations to improve safety and efficiency. I will definitely rehire them to implement those recommendations.
