Bernard did a great job ! He replaced a weather head cap and conductors 0n service entry, made corrections on breaker panel, replaced a door bell, installed a carbon monoxide detector and smoke alarms and replaced a several outlets around house. He explained what he was doing in a way I understood. I would not hesitate to call him again should I need any kind of electrical work done.

It went great. The switch couldn't be installed where I wanted it (apparently because it's a "half wall") but the lights look great and most importantly, they work.
Description of Work: I wanted two lights installed on either side of my garage and a switch to turn them on and off.

Bernard arrived on time , behaved in a professional manner , (without being overly formal either ) , performed excellent work, and just as important ; did the work neatly ! This was done for what my Dad and I feel was a very reasonable , and competitive price . I mention my Dad , because the work was done at his house.
Description of Work: The house is under contract to sell ; and there were several electrical items noted in the inspection report , that needed attention. Several GFCI 's were needed in the kitchen, and garage areas . 1 dedicated outlet for a gas stove , and a dedicated line to a dishwasher.

I called, they responded, came the next day. It was a challenging task and it took about an hour. Apparently, whomever built my house used this box as a junction box for the entire room - there were a lot of wires in there that all had to be ripped out and a new box needed to be installed (box was physically broken). Punctual. Called with updates on arrival. Very polite and knew what he was doing. Would and will definitely hire them again.

Bernard Planas was great. He knew exactly what to do and his price was extremely fair for all the work he did. He was on time and professional. He even did a little extra work for me as well. I could not have asked for more. The specific job was to install a generator lockout kit for my portable generator. I would highly recommend him to anyone and he has now become my go to guy for any electrical work that I need done.

Absolute came out the same day, was very professional and really got the job done. I thought it was a box issue. When I explained the problem I was having to the two guys that came out, they never went into the laundry room and checked the electrical box. I started thinking to myself, oh my god, how is this going to go. I admit at the beginning I was a little worried after that. But mid way, they were working very hard and efficient. They appeared competent, knowledgeable and experienced. The only problem I had was that I forgot to ask them did they want a bottled water the entire time they were in my home. Bad manners on my part that day, I gave them a tip.

Perfectly. I hired Absolute Electric several years ago and was impressed with the owner's competency and professionalism. Luckily, I was able to dig out the company information from when I called previously (around 2007/2008). I received the same excellent service and was very happy.
Description of Work: Minor work related to concealing exposed (exterior) wires. My 60-year old home had numerous wires hanging along the walls, with several insignificant wires that could simply be cut. Since I had no idea which were live or dead, Absolute Electric stepped in and helped in securing the needed wires and removing those no longer necessary.

Bernard is an amazing business owner who is punctual and professional, and quite hilarious to top it off which makes you feel at ease with him being in your home. He spent so much time checking our home and explained everything in detail. I would absolutely without a doubt hire him again for any electrical work that needs to be done to our home in the future. I've already been telling friends and family about him and his company because it's not very often these days that you find someone so trusting in this line of business. He mentioned one thing about our grounding rods being buried the way they are and told me what he would do if I hired him for that type of job in the future, but he wasn't pushy and he gave an amazing price to fix the rods in the future which we absolutely plan to do using him for the job of course. I can't say enough wonderful things about Absolute Electric and the amazing man who owns this company. If you ever need anything done Bernard and Absolute Electric is your man!
Description of Work: We had lightning damage that destroyed three TV's and two fridges so I hired an electrician to make sure nothing was wrong on our end since we had to make a claim against our homeowners insurance. Bernard the owner of this amazing company came out and checked our meter to make sure all screws at the meter were tight, grounding electrode and ground rod connections were good and checked our main breaker panel to make sure all screws were tight and breaker connections.

Everything went well. Bernard returned my initial phone call the same day and set up a time to do the work. He called ahead 40 mins before he arrived. He arrived within the window of time her had indicated. Job took about one hour. Bernard tested everything before he started the work and then tested again after the job for functionality.
Description of Work: Had to convert a 240 volt electrical outlet to a 110 for a replacement microwave/oven. The wiring above the microwave needed to be changed and the old 240 outlet needed to be changed with a new 110 outlet. Also needed to change the breaker for the outlet to a 20 amp.
