It was great. Bernard and Tommy are very hard workers, and it took them a full day to do all of our projects. They worked efficiently and quickly to make sure everything was done that day. I was especially impressed with the clean-up - our projects involved a little bit of drywall removal and attic access, and everything was put back and swept up afterwards. I also appreciate how they took time to think through our living room ceiling fan install, and create an electrical route with the least amount of damage to the existing walls/ceiling. They are very easy to work with, and we will definitely hire them in the future for other electrical jobs!
Description of Work: Bernard installed 3 fluorescent light fixtures in the kitchen, replaced a fan with a chandelier in the dining area, replaced an old bathroom vanity light with a new one, and installed three outdoor lights. He also created an outlet for us in a hallway, and installed a ceiling fan in the living room in an area of the ceiling where no electricity was run yet.

I called the afternoon of 10/28, Bernard answered and scheduled to be at my home the following morning. I had lost power to 2 exterior sheds on my property. After troubleshooting all the "quick fixes," I could not determine the cause of the issue, and knew I it was time to call an Electrician. Bernard was very thorough and walked me through everything he was doing. He seemed just as determined as me to figure out the cause. Ultimately, Bernard suggested an alternative solution to re run the line to a different power source I had on my property. This was a quick fix, and actually will end up being more convenient for me in the future, if I run into a problem. He was out here for app 4 hours in total. He did some other things at my house that were outside the scope of the original job. (like splicing a wire for a light, and swapping an electrical outlet). He seemed generally concerned with the overall electrical-state of my house.
Description of Work: Checked multiple outlets, tested every breaker in control panel, replaced an outlet, and ran a new power line in an exterior shed

Was on time found new unit had bad remote after fan was installed.He had a remote unit from a previous job that he installed fan works perfectly. Saved me the trouble of having to take fan back for replacement. Did a great job would use and recommend to others. Remote installed turned out to not work. Went to a fan store got another remote unit had their installer come out .Turned electric off at box ( other electrician did not) unit worked fine. He explained by turning off at switch only not killing circuit completely and caused a slight short that zapped first remote.

It was great! When we found the outside fixtures were the problem and I'd need two new lights, he even timed his lunch time so I could run to Home Depot and buy the two lights to be installed, instead of having to come back another day! He explained everything, helped me choose options, he showed me all about the wiring and made me feel my house was safe electrically. I showed him the product info I'd saved about the outside outlet, and he even had the comparable item with him to be installed. Even arranging the work day was one phone call, no problems with anything at all! We talked about a ceiling fan to be installed in the future, and what would be best to have, wall switches, etc. I was very pleased with everything about this.
Description of Work: Installed outside outlet with protective cover, covered wiring from water heater with conduit and secured to wall (as homeowner's insurance required), checked every outlet in house for ground, checked main boxes, installed two new outside lights, thorough inspection of whole house's outlets and main boxes for any problems.

First, Bernard was very responsive to my request for service and arrived on time (which is always greatly appreciated). We were having issues with a few electrical sockets not working. He was able to quickly identify the issue, showed me the problem (some burnt wires), and then completed the repair. If he works by the hour, you'd never know it as he was quick and thorough. After he was finished, I asked him for an estimate on running new electric lines for ceiling fans and was happy with his quote (materially less than what another larger company was asking). I'm sure to hire him for the fans, will use him in the future and will refer him to my buddies. In summary: * On time * Reasonable price relative to other companies * Very responsive and executed on what he said * Polite and professional
Description of Work: Diagnose issue and replaced burnt out electrical socket.

Bernard was a God send! The original electrician (Davis Electric of land o lakes) did not show up on scheduled date and kept making excuses about why he was pushing our work aside. I texted absolute electric as a backup and he accommodated us within our schedule so the other contractors that we have lined up are not compromised. He went to work right away and did a wonderful job for a reasonable price. We would use him again for sure.

Bernard and his two assistants arrived on time (after a small mix up with the address). They carefully removed two extremely heavy chandeliers, a hallway light and a bathroom light. They also installed replacement lighting in the hallway and bathroom. I was pleased with their care of my expensive lights and the speed of their work. Bernard was friendly and communicated with me throughout the process - addressing my many questions and concerns. I will be using ABSOLUTE ELECTRIC OF TAMPA BAY INC again.

Benard arrived when he said and got straight to work. He and a helper crawled through the attic to run my cables. The work was neat and clean. They clean up after themselves and do a great job. I have used Absolute Electric many times and I am never disappointed. Benard keeps me informed of what he is doing and lets me know any issues he finds. I highly recommend their service.

Barnard was out on a job when I placed my initial called. He took my number and said that he would call me later. True to his word, he called me back. We discussed my immediate electrical needs and set a date. Bernard called the afternoon before the scheduled service date to confirm. He and his assist arrived within the half hour window he had provided. In addition to the work that we had discussed on the phone, Bernard inspected other wiring jobs to confirm that they were done to code and helped me to identify jobs that I could tackle myself. The company that I selected to install my water softener system noticed and commented on the nice job that my electrician did. Good job Bernard, thanks!

This company obviously cannot handle its current customer workload, so if you are a new customer I would stay away and find another electrician. Businesses that do not return calls after repeated attempts and do not even bother to follow up, that is just very unprofessional.
Description of Work: Service provider made no attempt to schedule an appointment or return my calls. I spoke with ABSOLUTE ELECTRIC and requested they contact my tenant and arrange a time to review the outlet problem. No follow-up, no return calls, no appointment. I left another message asking for them to call me directly. No follow-up, no return call, zero response.

It went perfectly. Bernard of Absolute Electric was responsive, punctual and honest... and under budget (if only by a little). He was quick to respond by e-mail and phone. Showed up exactly when scheduled. He was clear and transparent with pricing. Bernard has done work for me before, and I already knew he is honest, which for me meant that I could rely on his judgement about whether some repairs were actually needed. Specifically, I told him three things need fixing and one costly thing might or might not need fixing, depending on whether it was safe and up to code. He told me the costly thing was safe, up to code, and not necessary. So, he didn't do the unneeded work.
Description of Work: Repaired a non-functioning doorbell, inspected and repaired 2 exterior outlets, inspected prior electric work to determine if up to code.

I called Absolute Electric because of a faulty smoke detector. Bernard Planas came out the same day and replaced the faulty device. I have used this company several times in the past and have always appreciated Bernard's expertise, professionalism and responsiveness, whether the problem is big or small. I recommend Absolute Electric highly.
Description of Work: One of my smoke detectors was making noises. I was not certain whether it was the fault of the detector or a more global electrical problem. The cause turned out to be a bad detector which was replaced.
