Description of Work: Beginning 11/30/2012, Pride Electric replaced existing under cabinet lights in my kitchen. We had discussed LED lights but halogen lights were installed without discussion. I accepted them but it took about two months to complete the job. First, two original new bulbs were dead. Then, over the holiday Pridelectric said their supplier was out of bulbs, then closed for the holidays. Days into January the new dimmer switch was getting hot. It was too small for the bulbs. I had to pay for both dimmer switches although i was given a half price credit for the first one Pride installed. By then I just wanted the project over. Several days later, I was at Home Depot and found Halogen bulbs like mine were readily available and cheap. As the wiring was already there,and Dimmer size should be an electrican's consideration, I feel I was overcharged and the job took too much time as Home Depot was available except Christmas Day. In the future I will use another company.

Description of Work: I've used them several times. The owner is who you speak with when you call and he has always gotten someone to me in a timely fashion. He does not seem to be an easy guy to work with as I often hear interchanges between him and his guys that don't sound pleasant. I've heard some complaining on the job which of course is not professional, but this is electrical not an office, I guess. Work has been okay, willing to do whatever is needed, haven't had any problems per se with what's been done and they've stood by minor issues (needed a bulb that was provided with a fixture replaced as it didn't work out of the box, they came by and not only brought it but installed it). Circuits pulled, fans installed, can lights added, under and over cabinet lighting. I don't think they're cheap, but they're not too bad (negotiate) but I think they need to be held to a clear scope of work (I have had minor issues..."oh, that wasn't included in my number" etc.). I'm going to try another of the top rated Angies' List companies now that I'm a member.

Description of Work: Replaced breaker box outside (pool, sprinkler, pool/outside light). Did extensive testing and double checking before giving the final diagnosis. We'd had previous issues with these breakers, so I wasn't surprised by their decision to replace the entire box. Our sprinkler had been sharing with one of the switches, and so they gave that it's own switch. -- The price was just what was expected, ESP after talking to a personal friend about it later-he guessed how much they were charging. He suggested I buy the box myself and then have them install it, as they would probably mark up the price, however that 15% markup (if indeed thats what it is) was worth it to me since I don't have time or knowledge to go out and even do that much. That's what I pay professionals to do. They completed it within 3 hours, and had suggestions and explained things along the way. I appreciate their knowledge, punctuality, and time.

First, let me explain that I called several electricians. No one would even pretend to know what I needed without first coming out and charging me at least an hour just to take a look. But, when I called Pride, he was willing to listen to what I said, ask questions, and get me to focus on the problem. He gave me an overall idea of what it would take to fix, both in time and money. He advised me when I told him what our inspection report said, and explained everything that it meant as well as what they would have to do. Just the fact that he was willing to explain and give me some idea of what we were facing, gave me the assurance that they were knowledgeable and cared... and they didn't treat me like some "dumb woman". The work was scheduled for the NEXT DAY. They were about 20-25 min. late (hence the "B" on punctuality), but got right to work. There wasn't a moment I thought they ever stopped (other than when I asked them to pull down a box I didn't know was in the attic). They explained what they did as they went, and worked as fast as they could. I really appreciated their work. The bill was just a flat total, and didn't really break down the details of the work. I wish there could be a more detailed report-either on the spot, or at a later time, to see how things are broken down.
Description of Work: Replaced some wiring that was not up to code. Brought the wiring for the ceiling fans up to code (by putting them in the "wire boxes" rather than allowing the wires to lay in the ceiling). They also installed a grounded outlet in my garage ceiling.

The company was hired to replace my electrical main junction box. They put one in that had used parts in it and left a hole in my wall. They did come out and repair the hole but only because I had not paid them. A few days after they left, the fans and lights in our rec room went out. These are lights and fans that have been working for years. They refused to fix this problem. The business owner became bellicose on the phone.

Response from PRIDE ELECTRIC OF CENTRAL FLORIDA INC
In response to this posting, we went out to his home & found an old hazardous FPE panel & had him "Google" FPE & he agreed so we ordered him a BRAND NEW panel & breakers (invoice w/ member as the PO) & returned to replace it. The hole was made because the circuits (38 plus feeders) were fed from both the top & bottom of the panel so wall has to be cut to fit it. He called me up 3 weeks later & told me we put used parts in his house & that his ceiling fans weren't working. I had Mike drive across town to check out the problem. When he got there Mike tried to show him that there was proper voltage leaving all of his NEW breakers but he said he didn't know anything about electricity. Mike said the problem with the fans could be unrelated & he said he didn't believe in coincidences & that we had better fix them or he would put us on the internet to 30 million people. He called me & I spoke to him & ask him not to slander us. He said he only writes the truth & that we replaced his panel & now his fans don't work I said we replaced your panel 3 weeks ago & everything is working ok & 3 days ago your fans are out & they may not be related problems. He said "*Expletive* You" & threw Mike's phone across the room almost hitting him. We have never ever put in used parts anywhere at any time & we responded the same day as the complaint. It appears that from now on anything that electrically goes wrong at his home will be our responsibility because he doesn't believe in coincidences.

THERE WERE TWO WORKERS AND ONE WAS IN TRAINING AND WAS OF LITTLE TO NO HELP TO THE MAIN ELECTRICIAN. THEY WERE MESSY AND SLOW AND TOOK 45 MINUTES PUTTING A FAN TOGETHER TO PUT IN ONE OF THE ROOMS. THEY FORGOT ONE FAN BEAM AND HAD TO COME BACK ON ANOTHER DAY TO COMPLETE THE JOB, COSTING ME A SECOND TRIP FEE! MY COMPLAINTS TO THE OWNER FELL ON DEAF EARS. I HAVE TOLD ALL OF MY FRIENDS TO NEVER USE THIS COMPANY!
Description of Work: THIS COMPANY WAS CALLED TO INSTALL CEILING FIXTURES AND FAN BEAMS IN TWO BEDROOMS IN OUR HOME.

THE MEMBER WAS NOT ACCURATE OF HER JOB DESCRIPTION ON THE TELEPHONE, WHICH WAS WHY THE ELECTRICIAN DID NOT HAVE THE 2ND BRACE THAT WAS NEEDED. THERE WAS NEVER AND IS NEVER A SECOND TRIP CHARGE ON SERVICE THAT IS NOT COMPLETED ON THE INTIAL CALL. THE CUSTOMER IS ONLY CHARGED FOR THE WORKING TIME BY THE QUARTER HOUR AFTER THE FIRST HOUR.
