This company is truly excellent. From the contact on the telephone to the end orf the job, the service was prompt, and the service repair men were efficient and very knowledgeable. The doorbell repair turned out to be more involved than expected, yet they were very thorough in finding out what the problem was and made sure that everything was working correctly. They were friendly and accomodating and I would not hesitate to call American Electrical again for any type of electrical issue.
Description of Work: Installed bedroom ceiling fan and repaired front doorbell which included installing new transformer and working on faulty wiring.

Member thank you for being our customer. Smoke detectors are often taken for granted, ignored or missing in many homes. Unfortunately, across America, the holiday season is when the lack of smoke & carbon monoxide detectors are on the news as people die in fires and from inhaling poison gas. Keep your family safe by having us install these simple life saving devices in your home. It is a small price to pay to for safety.

I called on a Friday, and was able to set up an appointment for the following Tuesday. The electricians were very professional and took great care to hang a chandelier to my specifications. They covered their work area with a tarp to protect my rug, and were very respectful of my home furnishings. Overall, their customer service and expertise were excellent.
Description of Work: I requested that an outlet be repaired, and a chandelier be hung with a dimmer switch. The location of the chandelier was changed from that of the previous one, requiring additional wiring. The previous chandelier location was covered.

I called the company's office late in the morning and they were out by that afternoon. The two technicians went to work immediately to check all of the switches and outlets for the electrical short. They found it very quickly and corrected the problem. They also provided advice on what caused the problem. Overall, I was very pleased with their work and would call them again.

Troubleshoot & repair is a request we receive quite often. Our crews are excellent and finding problems & once they find the problem they can fix it. Some problems can be difficult to trace but we get right to work. You can count on American Electrical Contracting to give you good value for your money.

The electrician was very experienced and knowledgeable. At what appeared to me to be a "birds nest" of wiring, he masterfully, and very meticulously accounted for each wire, and neatly trimmed and connected, and identified all the wires and breakers. He was a true master of the craft, and explained what he was doing all the time. I was fascinated by his professionalism and spent most of the afternoon watching him work. It is so refreshing to find someone who is very good at what they do. The electrician's name was Klay. I will definitely request him by name if I need electrical services in the future. Super job!!!
Description of Work: On October, the American Electrical contractor was hired to replace our house electrical circuit breaker box. The contractor sent the electrician to completely rewire and install a new electrical box. This involved pulling out all wiring from the old box, installing the new box, and re-inserting all the wires and connecting each wire to a breaker.

We thank you for you kind comments & we are pleased that all went well. I especially like “Don't shop price---it's the quality of work at a fair price that's important” comment because I say that often. But how does someone shop quality when they have never used a particular service before? The answers are reviews, recommendations & references, exactly what Angie’s List provides.

They arrived and turned on all the devices on the defective circuit to be certain a device was not throwing off the breaker. When that was checked they then noticed the location of the breaker in the circuit box and hypothesized that its proximity to the HVAC circuit had caused it to over heat and become defective. They replaced the breaker and advocated for a whole house surge protector that I had previously been advised would be a good idea with the lightening in my area. They installed that protector.

Thank you for sharing your experience with others. It just so happens that I had another surge protection call today from a new customer that discovered the need for surge protection that hard way, after loosing products. Readers there is a lot more to good surge protection than the $15 surge strip you purchased. Read our surge information on this site & our main website & protect your electrical investments.

I woke up to find I did not have electricity in half of my house. I assumed that since I had some power trouble was in my panel. I called about 10am to have an electrician come out and find the trouble, about 2 hours later James knocked on the door. James found the trouble, determined it was a bad cable from the transformer at the street to the meter. Took the time to explain what the trouble was and what my local electric co would do the fix the problem. I will definitely call American Electrical Contractors if I ever need their service again.

Thank you for being a customer. Typically, if the scope of work has increased & the crew has the material we will complete the work within that visit. If there is going to be a large increase in price we do not proceed until the customer signs a change order authorizing the additional work. We like to keep our customers happy & setting and meeting expectations is one way to make that happen.

Very well. Although, I had hoped it wouldn't cost as much as it did. The electrician was very professional and competent. He showed up only a 5 hours after I called and at the time I was told he would arrive. The dispatcher gave me a 15 min heads up for arrival as well. I will certainly use American Electrical again.

Shon and Josh arrived on time and took care of everything on the list. They were both very friendly and knowledgeable and even cleaned up before they left. They even took the time to answer my questions. I will use them again for electrical needs.
Description of Work: Originally spoke with Ray who was very knowldgeable and accommodating to my schedule. The service today was to replace four security lights, add a fifth security light to the second floor overhang, remove the ceiling fan on the back patio and set the patio up for two ceiling fans and one light using the existing switches. Also, a GFCI plug was added to the outside of the patio.I also took advantage of having surge protection added to the electrical system.

Sir thank you for being a customer. Your business is truly appreciated. By adding surge protection to your installation you took a very important step in protecting your investment in electrical & electronic products. The vast majority of the public does not have surge protection installed in their office or at home & later if not sooner, they lose products. For a business this can be especially expensive because down time means paid employees are standing around waiting for repairs to be completed. Surge protection ALWAYS cost less than what you will lose without it!

Every aspect of my contact with this company went well. The owner was very helpful on the phone, a permit was pulled promptly, scheduling was easy and the work was performed to the highest standards. The electrician who did the work was Mike B. and he was simply outstanding. He evaluated the work, made good decisions and quickly completed the installation. He was courteous and very professional and very efficient. I was very impressed with how quickly he completed the work - an important factor since I was paying for his work by time and materials. Yet, I never felt that he cut any corners as it was obvious to me that he and his assistant were knowledgeable and proficient. I wouldn't hesitate to use this company for any future electrical needs.
Description of Work: I contacted American Electrical Contracting to perform some electrical work in connection with a modification I was making to my pool patio. They moved two electrical outlets and installed wiring for a new ceiling fan installation. In addition they added a circuit to my garage including a circuit breaker and quad outlet.

Thank you for being a customer & thanks to Angie’s List for creating a nice forum for everyday people to post their experiences. As I have written many times, our crews are experts in what they do and are true professionals, allowing them to complete your projects in a reasonable amount of time. It is difficult for people to know who to choose to do their electrical or any other work, so most make their selection based on price. There is no question that other companies will quote a low hourly rate & take twice as long to do the job. We wire you right at a fair price & stand behind our work. Relax professionals are on the job.

The two men that came out to install two outdoor light timers did an excellent job! I called the day before to see when they could come and to get a quote and they were here the next day...wonderful! They showed up on time and completed the work in the time I was quoted over the phone. The work would have cost $150.00, but at the time, there was a coupon on Angie's List that gave us $50.00 off, so that was nice. Can't say enough good things about this company.We would definitely use them again. We actually need to call them because we have another job for them!!

The electricians arrived promptly and installed the lighting and fan fixtures in the living room and bathroom exhaust fan and light. While there, I asked them to look at some electrical outlets, which they ended up replacing. They also checked my electrical box to make sure things were in order there. It will need eventual replacement, and they gave me what I thought was a reasonable estimate for that work (1,000-1,500). When I can afford to have that done, I will definitely call American Electrical Contracting. Prompt, professional, knowledgable service, and they cleaned up their mess.

Had company come out 6 mo ago to install an exhaust fan in our Master bath. We would have done it ourselves but we couldn't find the breaker to turn this item off. Call them back due to fan and light just quit. Also notices several other outlets inthe house stopped working as well. Called and set up appt based on my schedule within a few days of call. Guys were prompt and professional. Found the issue of a faulty GFI in the Garage and replaced quickly, double checked the exhaust fan and breaker box. Also recommended whole house surge protector which we had already been interested in getting since we all have lots of electronics. Cost was less if they installed while on job so we went ahead and get it done. I am currently waiting for another estimator for a possible whole house generator.

Response from American Electrical Contracting Inc
GFi, Ground Fault Interrupter or GFCi Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter outlets are those outlets in your home with a reset button on them. They are safety devices designed to open the circuit at the first sign of danger or a circuit imbalance. All new newer homes have them, many older homes do not. By code they are supposed to be in your bathroom, kitchen near the sink, garage and your outdoor outlets. When one of these outlets trip or shut off, it needs to be reset to make it and any other outlets connected to them, work again. Sometimes the circuit breaker for GFi also trips and needs to be reset. Before you reset the outlet or the circuit breaker you should check to see why it tripped and correct that problem. If it is something simple, like you plugged in the hair dryer, shut it off before you hit the GFi reset button. To reset your tripped circuit breaker you have to turn the circuit breaker all the way off then back on again. If these actions do not correct your problem you have other issues, so call us & we will dispatch a crew to correct the problem. As noted with this customer, she had a bad GFi that could not be reset. If you are uncomfortable taking any of the steps above call American Electrical Contracting & relax, professionals are on the job.

Thank you for being a customer. Our prices are typically fair. They are not the lowest for any given job, nor are they typically the highest, when compared to some of our competitors. However, we do the jobs right, stand behind our work and truly offer great service. For any given time & material job, the price can vary because some jobs simply take a little longer than expected and as noted by other reviews, some jobs take less time than expected. In either case you are always charged fairly and our crews get right to work upon arrival. We also offer a $25 coupon, on this site, to Angie’s List Readers that must be presented at the time of service.

Excellent. See comments above.
Description of Work: Troubleshoot electrical "popping" in fuse box and loss of hot water. The "popping" and hot water issue were actually unrelated (we have a gas hot water heater with no electrical connection), however the electricians stayed and helped me resolve both issues. This is the second time we have used this company and both times we have been very pleased. They are prompt, professional and friendly. They will be my regular electricians from now on. Thank you.

The workers arrived early. I was just getting started on a shower door estimate. The workers patiently examined the new fan while the glass guy completed his measurements. The install went well. They did tell me in advance that it would be messy. They applied the appropriate covering to the toilet. They brought in a shop vac and cleaned up the floor once they were done. They did miss cleaning up shower floor which was not a big deal. .
