Our experience was topnotch from the initial phone call through completion of the work. Everyone with whom we had contact was extremely professional and courteous, and the work was expertly done. My brother is an electrician so I am very selective, and I would definitely use this company again.

Charles and Jamie arrived on time and worked well together. They also each were working the entire time they were here, there was no one standing around waiting on the other. Very personable, professional and efficient. The only issue was that they did not have the proper tool to torque the alumicons necessary for this applications. One of them actually knew and had a personal torque screwdriver but didn't have it with them. It is my opinion that because there was a lot of aluminum wiring used in this area that every electrician should have the tools to properly install alumicons.
Description of Work: Hang for ceiling fans, including rewiring 2 and adding fan supports in the attic.

Overall, the service could not have been better. Arrived at exact time scheduled. I explained that my outside security lights had stopped working all at the same time. Mark (the owner) immediately diagnosed the problem and solved. A little background; I had lived in the house approximately 1 year. Mark's first question was, are there any light switches in the house that you don't know what they're for. I actually did have 2 switches in the hallway that seemed to be for nothing. Once he switched them, the lights began working again. Not only this, Mark took the time to show me how to operate these switches, e.g., flip the switch, wait 3 seconds and put in manual mode. Switch again and back to automatic mode. He then had his assistant replace bulbs that weren't functioning. Finally, he looked inside my panel and alerted me that the house had aluminum wiring. He explained that this wasn't necessarily a bad thing, but that I should routinely check the snugness of the wires to my outlets and switches and all would be fine. I can tell you all now, that if I ever have a need for an electrician, this is my go to guy. He is professional, trustworthy and his prices are more than fair.
Description of Work: Inspected outside security lights and restored functionality.

American Electrical did a fantastic job in updating our electrical service. We have an older home, that was in need of a major clean up with old wiring, and a complete box replacement. Because they were so busy with hurricane season repairs, they sent out a team of 3 over the weekend to do the job quickly. Would definitely recommend them for future projects.

Kevin, Bobby and Lionel were fantastic, friendly and thorough. Much thought was put into the layout for the under cabinet lighting to create the best lighting with the least amount of exposed wires and power boxes taking up valuable cabinet space. Several outlets required some extra care when replacing due to age. They made sure everything was up to code and safe for my family in our 30 year old home.

This was actually the second job this week I had with American Electrical Contracting. I had originally called them to do a check of my breaker box/panel as I had some things happening I didn't understand. Josh was my lead technician on my first trip, checked everything I had concerns over and was honest enough to let me know that everything was working properly and explained it all so I understood. I was so pleased with his professionalism and honesty that I set another appointment to have lighting fixtures that were installed by my builder that were not suppose to be, replaced with the correct type. He also let me know the status of a dimmer switch that would not function due to the type lights that were installed once again by my builder. I have many other projects and will definitely be calling American Electrical for all my future needs. It's good to know there are still honest trades such as American Electrical that you can count on that does such great work.
Description of Work: Replaced laundry room light fixture with 2 new LED can light fixtures, replaced the builder grade two in the entryway and added a 3rd one where the builder should have installed one.

.Went well! All bathroom outlets are working!
Description of Work: My bathroom outlets were not GFI and none of them worked. We just bought the house and had it inspected and nothing was said to us about this problem. I called American Electrical and they called me back promptly to schedule an appointment. Gary asked me when the house was built, I told him in the 1980's. He then explained to me that the GFI outlets were connected and I should locate another GFI in another part of the house and push the reset. I found one in the downstairs bathroom and reset it - Now they all work. He did not charge me for this information and was very kind. Thank you Gary!

I called American Electrical around 11:00 a.m. and they were able to get someone out here the same day which surpassed my expectations since it was already late in the morning. The crew that arrived was very courteous and knowledgable. The work was completed quickly and at a fair price. They also cleaned up after themselves which can be a difficult trait to find with some companies. I will definitely call American Electrical again should the need arise.
Description of Work: American Electrical replaced a GFCI outlet that controlled our gate lights that kept tripping. They also replaced the weather proof box, conduit and neatened things up a lot.

Response from American Electrical Contracting Inc
This is complete and utter nonsense. American Electrical Contracting does not discriminate against ANYONE, period. This person that left this review was not the owner of the mobile home with the problem they, said they said they were calling for the actual owner. When Sharon found out that that it was a mobile home that needed service she politely told them that we do not work on mobile homes and referred them to a local company that does specialize in this type of work. She even gave them the phone number so they would not have to look it up. To say that we discriminate against ANYONE and, give us an "F" rating because we do not do that type of work is complete abuse of the Angie's List rating system. We have won the Angie's List Super Service award consistently, every year since 2006. That award is given to companies that do proven, superior work and offer top shelf customer service consistently day in and day out. I must say that I was truly flabbergasted when this ridiculous review came to light. Thank You, Gary Hopkins
