I think it went ok. It was a little expensive, but it was done within a good time frame and if we had to call him again we probably would. The job was average, but we don't have any problems!

Bernard arrived at the time agreed upon. He helped me move the king size bed out of the way and installed the ceiling fan in a short amount of time. He showed me how to use the remote control and even went out to his truck and found a battery for it since I didn't have a 9 volt available. He helped me put the bed back in place before he left.

This was a very complicated install of an ASCO whole house switch and a new main panel. Plus I was probably an absolute pain in the a** as I wanted everything done in a certain way. Bernard was a great professional - very knowledgeable and patient, quick worker and got the job done. Taught me a few things too as he doesn't mind you looking over his shoulder.

They came out very quickly, actually on July 4th and advised me it was actually just a matter of the breaker switch that needed to be reset. The additional work which was providing estimates took about an hour an half and was only charged about $70.00. Something happened to the electrical outlet when it was placed back into the wall where the circuit stopped again a few weeks later. We called and they came back to look at it and at this time they repair the outlet. He did not charge for this.
Description of Work: They came out to repair one electrical outlet in my kitchen. I also had them give me an estimate on other possible work, outdoor light in the backyard and separating a circuit in the living room which two lights were working off of.

It was quite a deal. They had to go through the attic. They gave me a quote and even after they had to come back an extra day the price was the same as the quote. He has a book that has all the charges in it for all different things so you can get an estimate over the phone. Of course he will come out and check it but everybody is being charged basically the same thing. I felt that he would not charge anybody more than what they quote. I would recommend them and use them again.
Description of Work: They completely wired up the house for internet, telephone lines, and everything.

This is the third or fourth I have used Absolute Electric and cannot say enough good things about their work. Bernard Planas the owner is a true professional. He arrives on time, works quickly and efficiently, cleans up everything, takes pride in his work and does the job right the first time. This time we made our appointment by email which is much more convenient for me. Bernard arrived right on time and installed a replacement ceiling fan and new box, he also replaced a ceiling light in our pantry and added new electrical boxes and service to our garage. If any one needs electrical work done I would recommend Bernard without hesitation. You will not be disappointed.

We called Bernard at Absolute to come out and give us an estimate on how much it would be to have a transfer switch installed in our garage for our emergency generator about a week ago. Bernard came out gave us an estimate and we scheduled the installation with Bernard and it was done today. All within a week. Bernard was professional and very personable and the job was completed timely and efficiently. We would highly recommend Bernard at Absolute to anyone needing some electrical work done.

I emailed Bernard on 5/15 and received an email response from him the next day, explaining his charges. I had also emailed another company which I never heard back from. I emailed Bernard back on 5/20 and he graciously fit me into his schedule for the next day. He indicated he would be at my home between 11-1pm and called in the am to confirm I would be home. He arrived at 11:30, was friendly and had the fan installed and working within 1/2 hour. He also gave me a 10% Angie's List discount, even though I forgot to mention it. I will definitely use Absolute Electric again!

Bernard arrived exactly on time - after calling the previous night to confirm our appointment. He brought equipment to build the scaffolding to access the fan on the vaulted ceiling. He and his assistant worked throughout the day only taking a short break for lunch. They dealt with each problem as it arose and always provided me with options. They were determined that I be pleased with the outcome of each project. When all projects were completed they totally cleaned up the various work areas - vacuuming the carpet and taking the trash and empty containers to the garage. Everything was in order before I was presented with the bill. Bernard even saved me some money by providing me with alternatives to using extra parts that I had been persuaded to buy. He was professional, polite, personable and his prices reasonable. I will definitely use his company again.
Description of Work: Bernard and his assistant took down two ceiling fans and replaced them with new ones. The dual motor fan proved to be a challenge. Not only is it located above a pool table and at the peak of an 18 foot vaulted ceiling which made it hard to access but the design of the fan prevented it from operating properly in the position which I had chosen. Bernard worked with the fan and even altered a down rod to get it in the proper location. He rewired some wall switches to give us the flexibility to have a dimmer switch on the light kit and a separate switch for the fans. He also installed a new chandelier over our dining table with a dimmer switch - again reconfiguring the existing wall switches to make it easier for us to use. And a new fan was installed in our bedroom.
