American Electrical Contracting Inc

The contractors who came out to the house were friendly, punctual and professional. The work was done at the quoted price and done in a timely matter. Other electricians tried to convince me additional services were needed, but the contractors did not try to up-sell me into additional work.

Very professional, curious and on time. We were a little concerned about replacing our pool lights. We weren't sure if this was a common practice for this particular electrician. The technician was very knowledgeable and explained to us that in the past he wired pools for a living. He made us feel very comfortable. He did a great job. We definitely use them again.

There was an initial hiccup with scheduling but the company quickly worked to remedy the situation and were professional. Justin and Pat came out. They called on their way and were on time. They were very professional and knowledgeable. Justin was helpful with suggestions and worked efficiently. I am pleased with the work done and will use this company again in the future.

We were extremely pleased with the service American Electrical provided to our home. Klay and Jerry, our technicians,were professional and courteous throughout the entire project. They went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, explain the process, and work around our schedules if needed. Every day they showed up when they said they would and worked hard during the entire 5 week rewire. I would recommend them to any of my family and friends.

Electricians arrived on time and went right to work. They got as much prep work done as possible before they had to cut power to my house. The new panel was installed very quickly and I had power back in less than 3 hours in my 3 bedroom 1926 bungalow. The next 2 hours were spent testing all my outlets, lights, and appliances, marking what was what on the new panel, replacing dead bulbs, and clean-up. Klay obviously has a ton of experience doing this, which put me at ease. Klay and his assistant were such nice gentlement to have working in my house. They took great care to make sure my cats did not get out. They cleaned up thoroughly after the job. A previous electrician had not wanted to put in outlet in my old plaster wall but these guys had absolutely no problem doing it, and very neatly. I am so relieved to have a new panel in my old house and feel blessed to have had Klay and his assistant perform the work. Thank you! .

Everything went very well. The electrician came on time, completed all work and left. Very friendly.

They were great! Very professional, on-time, respectful, and knowledgeable. We will definitely use them again for all electrical needs.

I found this company here on Angie's list and decided to try them. Gary came out to give us an estimate and he showed up right on time. He listened to my needs and seemed to understand what I wanted to accomplish. The next day he had a quote in my email. The quote outlined the work they would do and showed a total cost. I called a few weeks later to schedule the job and I was amazed that they were able to start right away. I think it was the next day (it's been about 9 months ago) three guys arrived and went to work. The guys were polite, clean and seemed to know what they were doing. I will just say they didn't waste any time - they had to dig a 100ft trench back to the new garage from the house, to bury wire, and they didn't waste any time there either. I also had a few very minor issues with a light switch and an outlet and they sorted that for me too - at no extra cost. These guys were all business. Within a few days my project was complete and everything has worked out since. No issues. I didn't even get the final bill until a few days later and this made me feel good that I was able to make sure everything was good before making final payment.

Two gentlemen did the work quickly and efficiently.

The electrician was very professional and it was a pleasure to work with him. I will definitely use AEC for all electrical needs in the future.

When Mark Ayers and Jerry Dryer arrived on time they started working immediately. Were very polite, courteous, and professional. They made suggestions and always had time to answer our questions. The lighting in the kitchen came out better than we expected. They cleaned up before leaving. John Elbreo, was very helpful when he came a few days before to give us an estimate. When we called to make some changes, he was very accommodating. We will definitely have them back. We will recommend them to all our friends.

My wife and I had a few light fixtures that we thought we could install ourselves so we wouldn't have to spend the money on install. We tried one and took down one more, quickly realizing we would need professional help. We had a short timeframe to be able to get everything done before we moved in and American Electrical was able to get an appointment the next day. I can't say enough about how happy we were with the quality of the work that was done for us. We ended up having 4 fixtures install and 5 smoke detectors. Ryan and Jerry were able to take care of everything in a very timely manner. The price was a lot better than I was originally expecting before I called them. I just wish I had known it was going to be this easy and affordable beforehand. I would have called them a lot sooner.

I was having trouble getting an electrician to return my calls and come out to do some work at my house. When I called American Electrical Contracting I was able to speak with someone right away and set up an appointment for that same week. They arrived when expected and did a great job. They were very knowledgeable and professional. They suggested the whole home surge protector while they were here and completed all of the work within a couple of hours. I would not hesitate to call them again.

I called American Electric at a little after 9:00 a.m. to schedule someone to check out electrical panel to see what had caused our AC and water pumps to stop working. I was told that the earliest that someone could come by would be in the afternoon, but 40 minutes after I scheduled the appointment, American Electrical called back and said that they had a technician on the way. When Ryan arrived, he immediately checked the power panel, determining the problem and then went outside to check the meter box. Once that was done and he knew what to replace, he immediately called his office and got the ball rolling, and with the help of Florida Light & Power, he had the burned out bus bars replaced, the meter reinstalled, and the house was back to full power. American Electric didn't hesitate to schedule someone, and they even went out of their way to get someone to our home earlier than expected. Then cost was a lot less than expected, saving us not only time, but some money also. Ryan knew what he was doing and explained everything in layman terms for me to understand. Thank you American Electric for the quick service.

This was my first experience with American Electrical Contracting and also with hiring an electrician. We needed to have a 20 amp circuit installed inside our home and they had many great reviews on Angie's List, so we decided to give them a try. The guys arrived on time, were very polite and finished the job in less than an hour. They explained the process to me before they began working and then cleaned up after themselves before they left. I had a great experience with this company and if we ever need electrical work again, I will definitely give them a call!

Chose this company due to its high ratings on Angie's List and was not disappointed. I had originally requested the consultation as I needed to get electricity to a room addition to place a window AC and I wanted to move my television to above the fireplace as well as switch out plugs and switches throughout the house. After reviewing my request Bob advised me to not move the television. I thought that was commendable. He could have done just what the customer asked, charged me and went on his way. The television would have been fine until I used the fireplace. He then went to my electrical panel to determine adding the circuits for the room addition. What he found was a Federal Pacific panel and he advised me to watch an NBC expose on these particular circuit breakers. I knew the panel was old and figured I would need to replace it at some point. Bob advised me to prioritize my work and I decided that replacing the electrical panel was my priority. We scheduled the service and Bob kept me fully informed. Lonnie and Mike arrived at 8:30 on a Friday and did not leave until 6:30 that evening. When Lonnie started replacing the panel, he found that the stove had inappropriate wiring as did the hot water heater (discovered by Bob). We heard from the neighbors that the prior owner of the house had used her grandson for several projects around the house and it is now obvious he did not know what he was doing. I bought the house as is during a foreclosure so am reaping what was sown then. But I am grateful that Bob and his team were looking out for my welfare and identifying these issues. Some might say that they were just looking at ways to increase their bottom line. I do not believe that is the case with this company as the things they pointed out to me, even my untrained eye recognized as being not quite right. I just did not know why they didn't look right. I believe American Electrical genuinely cares about their customers and are looking to foster long term relationships and garner repeat customers. I know that I will have them back to finish up my original list and other items that Bob pointed out to me would need to be done at a future date. Thanks guys for making me a happy customer.

They took $25 off the bill for me because, I was an Angie's List member. They found somethings that needed to be done.

They were just 2 nice guys. They were polite, very clean, and young. They did a lot of work, and anything up. I was happy with the service.

Estimator (Holness) was easy to work with. He made various good suggestions without being pushy about up-selling more expensive services. He was also quick to respond to service renegotiation. Work team (Mills and Pratt) worked efficiently, and dealt with complications admirably (no complaints or increases to cost estimates). They had to deal with many challenges feeding wire through a hot attic.

Two electricians showed up exactly on time and went to work right away. They were efficient, courteous and answered all my questions. I had forgotten about the leaking cover and had not asked for it to be replaced when I make the appointment. When I asked if they could take care of it while they were installing the two new ones, they said they could and they did! They finished quickly and cleaned up the work site. I was very satisfied with the service and will use them again. I would recommend them to everyone who needs electrical service.

The technicians arrived on time and went right to work. They were friendly, courteous and professional. We had just moved into our home so there were boxes everywhere as well as other contractors making it difficult to get around, but they just efficiently and diligently continued their work. All the jobs were completed to our satisfaction at a fair price. We have used this company in the past at our prior home and will continue to use them when the need arises. This particular job was done by Lonnie and Jerry and we couldn't be more pleased with them. In fact, we have and will continue to request them for services needed in the future.

Kathy stated that Gary would call back to discuss rewiring a 3000 sq ft home. Too small a job I guess, still waiting after more than a week.

Overall the service was fine. The customer service was less than desirable. The mechanic had a "helper" who did all the grunt work. I understand the process of coming up through the ranks but the mechanic was extremely rude and bossy to his helper. He obviously was very green and didn't understand a lot of what the mechanic was saying. I felt bad for the kid, to be honest. Mechanic was voice texting while performing work. The job took a little bit longer than what I thought it should, which is convenient since they charge hourly. The mechanic used a card reader on his phone to charge me for the service. I received a phone call the next day from a woman in billing who said the mechanic forgot to charge me for materials and I would need to give her my credit card again. Not horrible, but inconvenient. I would use the company again but request someone other than the mechanic who came out that day. ***UPDATE**" What a mess. I couldn't figure out why one of my 15 amp breakers kept tripping a 20 amp breaker. I went up into my six to discover the genius was up there in June tied in several circuits in one junction box. I should have kicked them out and asked for a supervisor to come finish the job. Not a happy customer.

AE arrived and the electricain tells me they won't guarantee the installation of a motion light as they are hard to control. He then has his assistant climb a ladder to remove the back motion light. The assisstant calls out hat the wires were thick. I stood there and said "you need to remove the face plate as well as the box." I walked back to the room with the electrician to the electrical panel and he began telling me how to add a drain pipe to the water heater?. I showed him the small panel that needed to be "killed" and the large white cable that fed the box and took him inside the house to show him the two plugs. Back outside the assistant had cut the thick wires and had not removed the face plate. He was chastised by the electician. Then we are outside and the electrician yells to the assistant under the house something about the wiring to be pulled. I hear a yell and the electrician says "you cut the wrong wire." I was horrified. I asked if I needed to call 911. He called to the guy under the house and he did answer. I should have thrown them off the job at this point. Some 20 minutes later the electrician says it will be awhile as they have to fix the cut wire but it will be no charge. I had to leave to pick up a child from camp. He finally called and said they were through. I wrote the check and said I could not read the invoice copy clearly and gave him my email to have a copy sent. As we were in the front and walked past the motion light came on. They left and I went inside the house. The plug in the family room had been removed and the plate was installed poorly with part of the box showing and there was black dirt on the new carpet. The plug in the bedroom was correct. The panel appears to be correct but I am not an electrician. The back motion light did not come on. I had another appointment with the child but called the office and told her the light did not work and that they had taked some 50 feet of 220 cable that I wanted to keep to recycle. She said they were still in the area and he wcould call me to stop by. He did call and said the motion light only worked at night and that he said they would not guarantee the light. He said he would leave me the cable and I asked that he double check to make sure the back light was wired correctly as this is where the assistant cut the wire short. Overall the service call was traumatic and very stressful. I also had to call again and request the clear hard copy of the invoice. I would never use this company again.

Ricky and Steve were punctual, professional, and efficient. They explained what they were doing, made sure that I understand and verified everything and cleaned everything up before they left. Excellent job. I will definitely call them again.
