Two electricians called 30 minutes prior to the appointment in order to confirm that I was home. They arrived on time to my scheduled appointment. I needed to replace a smoke detector that was located in the middle of my dining room ceiling which is 20+ feet above the ground. The height of my ceiling was the reason it was difficult to find a company that could reach the smoke detector. They were able to do it easily and quickly with an extremely tall ladder. While I had the electricians at the house, I had them change my outdoor entryway can light with an LED long lasting 5 year light bulb because it was also located 20+ feet from the ground. I was relieved that both tasks were successfully accomplished. My builder grade door bell that was only a year old needed to be replaced because it quit working. All 3 tasks were complete within an hour. The workers were nice, professional, and they did not waste their time because they were on the clock. I would recommend this company without hesitation.

When we arrive at your home we are on your clock. We confirm what needs to be done and get right to work. We understand that you work hard for your money and we are going to make sure that you get the most from us with the knowledge, experience and efficiency that helps us get the jobs completed in short order. Keep that in mind when we tell you our time and material labor rate is $98.50 for the first ½ hour and $27.50 for each ¼ hour there after. This means our first hour is $153.50 and $ 110 per hour thereafter. Because we are efficient and experienced, a lower labor rate from another company does not mean the job will cost less and we stand firmly behind our quality with a one year warranty on all work.

The first time, I was extremely pleased with them all the way around. They were timely and did a really good job. The second time, they were timely, but it seemed a little expensive. I was looking for some additional work for them to do, but I couldn't really get them to give me a good solid estimate. To me, they were not up to the standard of what the first guy had done.

In defense of the second crew they should have simply referred you to the office. Depending on what was being requested the crew may have been comfortable with the time required to do a job but not know the cost of the material.

This was another one of the dangerous FPE panels. FPE (Federal Pacific Electric) Electrical Panels are one of those terrible products in millions of homes that very few people know about. Today, when people get ready to sell their home is when they find out what a problem they have.

Everything went very well and we would feel comfortable requesting service from American Electrical Contracting, Inc., If need be, in the future
Description of Work: After a lightning strike interrupted several systems at our home, American Electrical Contracting, Inc., came out the day after being contacted. The electrician checked the breaker box, the wiring, all surge protectors, and smoke detectors. They replaced the smoke detectors and installed a surge protector in the breaker box. They were very professional, neat, and gave an explanation for all the work as it was being done.

Florida is the lightning capital of America. Between lightning strikes, downed power poles and a variety of utility company issues, surge protection should be a requirement for every home. While they cannot stop a direct lightning strike, nothing cost effective can, they do lessen the damage and protect the devices in your home from other surge sources. Read about surges here on Angie’s List or on the American Electrical Contracting web site and get your home protected by one off our solutions. Regards Robert Holness

They called an hour before, as scheduled, and arrived on time at around 11 am. Upon reviewing our electrical panel, they advised of some issues with the manufacturer Federal Pacific Electric and suggested that we might wish to review it online. We did so, and it seems that these FPE panels, ours probably the original unit when our home was built, had been tested by several authorities in various states and frequently found to be defective, causing several fires and even some allegations of falsified UL testing results, apparently no longer in business. Although we've lived here for 30+ years with no problems, we decided it was prudent to upgrade the panel and got an acceptable quote from them, and gave them our OK. Note, while we are generally very, very skeptical of such "upselling" from requested work to a more expensive job, we didn't feel this was the case in this instance. In addition to the whole-house surge protector, we also had two new smoke detectors installed (we furnished the detectors). The two young men who did our work: Lonnie Roundtree and Jerry Dyer, were both extremely pleasant and very professional. They explained everything they were doing, answered all our questions, were very helpful and just generally did an overall very good job, in all respects. They were here from 11 am to late afternoon, around 6-something, and worked steadily, replacing the panel in our garage. Our total cost was about $1300, which we paid by credit card through their office. I think this was our third time using this electrical contractor, the other times we used them were several years ago and each experience has been positive, with no problems. We would not hesitate in using them again, or recommending their service. MJP

After purchasing a foreclosed home that I had planned on doing extensive remodeling to, I noticed the home did not have adequate expansion available in the service panel for the improvements I had planned. I contacted several electricians to inquire about the process of a service upgrade and the installation of a new larger service panel. American Electrical Contracting was able to provide me a quote over the phone, based on public records of the home, and their extensive knowledge of preforming upgrades. Their price was very competitive, and was the best I obtained from 3 bids. They pulled the needed permits quickly, coordinated with JEA, and was able to get me on their schedule within a week. Other companies were giving me time frames of 4-8 weeks out, claiming pulling permits and coordinating with JEA took that long. On installation day the electrician was prompt, professional and very courteous. He arrived at 8:00 AM and was done by 3:00 PM. He patiently waited until almost 6:00 PM for JEA to return to reconnect the main service to the meter so he could check everything prior to leaving. He even installed an additional outlet in my garage that I had not included in my original request, while he was stuck there waiting on JEA. The quality of work was great. Everything is neat and tidy inside the service panel, so much so the city inspector even made a comment on how well the job was completed. Fast, efficient, and quality, sum up American Electrical Contracting?s work. Highly recommend them and will use them for my future needs.

This job was quoted over the phone by Gary, one of our most experienced Master Electricians. Gary handles many phone in quote requests, as well as helping customers quantify their needs. His years of experience and the ability to use various tools allows him to not only provide the quotation for various jobs but also explain to the crews what needs to be done, setting them up for success. Of course there are times where an on site visit is the only way to gather all the details and he also does that. I did look to see which crew did the neat work. However, it does not matter because with little variability the quality of work is consistent across all crews. That is the reason you see different names when the people doing the reviews provide the names in the crew. If you have a crew that you are comfortable with and request that crew, if possible, we will send the same crew. If not, there will be no drop off in the quality of work. Regards Robert Holness

Called that morning to set up an appointment and a technician, Brian Moore, came out that afternoon. I had the parts for the service and he was able to get me a better surge protector with installation at less cost than I paid for the part. He was on time and worked quickly on putting in both parts. After he was done and we paid for his hourly rate he then explained how the surge protector worked and the warranties with the unit. He also answered numerous questions thouroughly and I felt he was not going to leave until we had all our questions answered. Great service and I look forward to using the company for all my electrical needs.

Knowledge makes a difference. There are over a dozen Master Electricians at American Electrical Contracting, Inc. This means when you have an electrical issue the chances are excellent that we will be able to solve it. In addition to Master Electricians, we have Journeymen that are licensed. We expect to solve problems and we plan to do quality work. However, as any tradesman will tell you, every now and then the perfect storm of a bad job, where lots of things go wrong will happen.

Great experience over the phone and in person. The dispatcher called back in the morning with an appointment that afternoon! George and Michael came over and expertly installed everything -- they even swept off the lanai when they were done (something they didn't have to do, but it was much appreciated). Extremely friendly service, and we loved how they went the extra mile to make sure that we were happy. We would definitely recommend them again.

I initially sent an email with pictures of the work I needed to have done. I received a return email that they received my request and than we made contact on the phone. We discussed the price and how long he thought it would take if no complications. I scheduled the time. Although they were late, they did call me to tell me on their way and what the delay. I appreciated that, as some things are just out of your control despite your best efforts. The two gentlemen came and got right to work. One started on moving the electrical boxes outside and the other diagnosed and replaced the detector. They explained everything to me in terms I would understand and didn't mind my hovering. They were very profession and courteous. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to friends and family.

They were great - very flexible and intelligent when it came to all the various obstacles one can run into when running electrical. Fred is great and he and I both made a trip to Home Depot mid-project for a couple items to get everything just right. I had to buy the light bulbs that went into the canned lights. And since they were in a wet area, I wanted to be certain I got the right thing. I was actually sending photos of merchandise on the shelf at the store to Fred's phone asking "Is this it?" If that's not customer service, I don't know what is. ;) I would certainly use these guys again!
Description of Work: A couple weeks prior to this work, Fred came out and relocated an outlet and installed a dimmer switch (that was a small job) and we talked about the future work (this job) that I wanted in a bathroom remodel. I had a heater and exhaust fan combo already purchased so I needed that installed, plus a couple recessed can lights in the bathroom. The heater required an independent circuit, so I requested Fred do the job. They came back out and the guys installed the circuit, the recessed lights, the heater unit plus the wall switches for both.

Owning a home can sometimes be difficult. Knowing what to prioritize is not always simple. If you let us know what other projects you have planned, we will let you know how it may or may not effect our work so you don’t spend the same money two times. Also, there are certain projects that it makes sense to combine, if they fit your budget. For example, installing surge protection during a panel change is a natural because we are already working in the panel. Plan your projects wisely and we will help you save money.
