Description of Work: Bernard, from Absolute Electric, was superb. He quickly determined the immediate problem which resulted from another electrician (not Absolute) fixing one problem but creating another. He quickly resolved my problem (several non-working outlets) and corrected the problem from the prior electrician that I had used. Further, I needed to split me pool pumps to separate circuit breakers for my TECO Energy Planner installation. Once again, he analyzed the situation and provided a quick and inexpensive solution to my problem. Bernard is knowledgeable, efficient and very pleasant. On top of it all, his rates were very reasonable; especially compared to my prior experience with another electrical contractor that fixed one problem and created I will certainly utilize Bernard of Absolute Electrical and wholeheartedly recommend him to everyone.

Description of Work: Installed a dedicated outlet in back of house for lift station pump, replaced two fluorescent light fixtures, installed outdoor wall mount light fixture, removed defunct phone cables. | |That day another worker was here to troubleshoot a lift station problem. Bernard was kind enough to help me supervise that worker because that worker didn't seem to know what he was doing. Bernard also let him use some of his tools because the worker was obviously unprepared for what he was called to do. Bernard is a very nice, capable person.

Description of Work: We had a small electrical outlet fire that burned the outlet. Bernard Planas came and checked our electrical panel for damage. Fortunately for us it was just the electrical outlet and wiring that burned. Mr Planas replaced our outlet and made other suggestions for surge protection. It was a good experience and we will do business in the future.

Description of Work: Two outlets were added in my garage, one 220 and the other 110. Bernard spent extra time locating and labeling circuit breakers and outside junction boxes when he came for the estimate. Very nice and friendly. Very helpful and did not rush. He did a great job all around. Would recommend him and will use him again if needed.

Description of Work: I needed an electrical cable at the pump replaced as the current one quit working. I scheduled an appointment with Absolute Electric Of Tampa Bay,Inc. and Benard arrived on the day agreed upon and on time. He assesed the problem and replaced the origional cable with a much larged gauge cable. He tested the new cable and checked all the fittings to ensure proper functionality. Benard is a very capable and friendly person. He even gave me a basic electrical class on how my situation worked. The address is 3959 Van D*** Road, Lutz,Fl. Phone: 813-908-042

Description of Work: We are having a fairly large number of electrical improvements done to our house. I called Absolute and spoke with Shauwn, the owner. We arranged a time for the estimate and I emailed him a list of the projects we are considering. He and one of his employees showed up exactly on time, were very professional, explained what they could do, and provided a written estimate on the spot. I was very happy with their performance at the estimate and would definitely consider them again, however in this case we went with another top rated company due to price.

They saved me a lot of money.
Description of Work: My water heater was broken and the water heater supplier suggested that I upgrade my electrical system in order to accommodate a new water heater. This company found the problem and took care of it without having to replace the water heater. They found the heater element to be defective and replaced it.

Great.
Description of Work: We just bought this house and moved in. It was a corporate move and the company paid a special service to come out and install our washer and dryer. When they tried to plug in the dryer the cord did not match the plug so they "generously" offered to send us for $75 COD a 4 prong dryer cord to match our "4 prong" outlet. To make a long story short the forth hole was a hole for the screw and not a prong. WE got a cord at home improvement store for $15 and plugged it in but it smelled like an electrical fire when we did. That was the day I joined Angie's List in order to find someone that knew what they were doing. My neighbor in Charlotte, NC had used the service several times. Bernard came that day, showed me what was wrong and assured us that we could only use a three prong cord because there were only 3 wires behind the plug. Professional, prompt and so helpful. He is coming back next week to do more work and we have more plans after we get settled.

I felt like a blank check.
Description of Work: I called for an estimate. After some time, they called me back and told me that because I was a member of Angie's List, it would cost me $75 for the first half-hour and $75 for each subsequent hour.

Response from Absolute Electric of Tampa Bay Inc
WE NEVER PERFORMED WORK FOR THIS MEMBER, WHICH SHE STATES. WHEN SHE CALLED US FOR AN ESTIMATE, SHE WAS GIVEN THE HOURLY RATE - WHICH INCLUDES A DISCOUNT FOR ANGIE'S LIST MEMBERS - OF $75 FOR THE FIRST 1/2 HOUR AND $75 AN HOUR, THEREAFTER. THAT IS AN EXTREMELY REASONABLE RATE AND IS DISCOUNTED FROM OUR CUSTOMARY RATE. WE ARE SURPRISED THAT SHE WAS UNHAPPY WITH THAT AND CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHAT EXACTLY SHE EXPECTED. BECAUSE OUR WORK IS SO EXCELLENT AND WE ARE SO POPULAR WITH THE COMMUNITY, AND WITH ANGIE'S LIST MEMBERS, WE ARE VERY BUSY AND TO KEEP OUR PRICES LEVEL WITH WHAT THEY WERE TWO YEARS AGO, WE DON'T SITE ESTIMATE EVERY JOB AS MOST JOBS ARE ABLE TO BE ESTIMATED HOURLY OVER THE PHONE OR THEY ARE CHARGED HOURLY. WE, AT ABSOLUTE ELECTRIC, ARE VERY SORRY SHE FELT THIS WAY, BUT IF SHE HAD USED OUR SERVICES, WE ARE SURE SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN HAPPY, AS EVIDENCED BY OUR MANY HAPPY CUSTOMERS OVER THE YEARS. OUR WORK IS EXCELLENT, AND WE ARE PROUD OF OUR PRICES. GAS AND MATERIALS HAVE GONE UP ALMOST 40% IN THE PAST FEW YEARS, YET OUR PRICES HAVE NOT CHANGED AT ALL. WE TRY EXTREMELY HARD TO PLEASE ALL OF OUR CUSTOMERS IN THREE DIFFERENT COUNTIES, AND WE HAVE A VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER BASE. AGAIN, WE ARE SORRY THAT HER PHONE CALL TO US DIDN'T US DIDN'T MEET HER EXPECTATIONS.
