Bob did not tell me anything that contradicted my neighbor's assessment. He did not try to immediately sell me a new unit. He patiently explained everything and showed me the issues in the unit. In effect, he made sure that I clearly understood the situation. He was very helpful. He installed the capacitor to get the unit functioning, so I could cool my house. He also told me to ask that the price be applied towards the cost of the new unit.
Description of Work: My AC was not working. Bob, the service technician, looked at the system and reported the severe problems. My neighbor had previously looked at the unit and had described the situation as being very bad. Bob, explained the issues (rusting, moisture intake, capacitor) and indicated that the builders unit had outlived its life. I knew this to be true because I have seen all of my neighbors replacing their units. Bob installed a new capacitor to get the machine working. He told me that I might get a little more service, but not much. I requested that he contact the sales office for me.

They came promptly and got the job done in timely manner. They did a great job and so far everything is working great. The whole experience was stress free.
Description of Work: I called for an estimate on a new Trane unit and Rod Thompson came out and explained everything and gave us all the details. My husband and I agreed and they set up the appointment to have it installed.

My original appointment time was between 10 and 12 on Friday and on Thursday Leslie from the office called and asked me if someone could come Friday at 9 am, which was fine. Amauri actually showed up about 8:20 am, which ended up working out fine. He came in and I gave him a description of the issues. After unscrewing all of the fixtures in question, he told me that he needed to go to the home improvement store to get the parts because all the original switches were wrong. Of course I groaned inwardly, thinking of him going to get an Egg McMuffin or something on my dollar, but he was back in barely 25 minutes. He fixed everything just the way I wanted it and was finished in a total of 1 1/2 hours, a relief for me since they charge by the half hour. When it was time for the bill, the total he gave me (including the 10% off for labor from Angie's List coupon) was EXACTLY what I calculated, down to the penny. Amauri was very professional and prompt!
Description of Work: I had three sets of switches in my house that were supposed to be "relay" switches but were not (you should be able to turn a light on from either location, one at the base of the stairs and one at the top of the stairs, for example). Also, I had a wall switch in the bedroom with two buttons, only one of which actually worked to turn on the overhead light. I am extremely happy with the way it went!

Fantastic. Mr. Torres was patient, thorough, and respectful. The latter was important since one of my "problems" was my lack of understanding of light switches. He made recommendations that were economical and improved the quality of my exterior lighting.
Description of Work: Replaced 2 x 2 exterior flood lights to include photo cell sensors. Repaired wiring in light switch to same exterior flood lights. Showed me how switches turn outlets on/off. Replaced light bulbs in front porch light.

I came home from vacation to find my upstairs A/C unit had leaked through the ceiling. I called Edd Helms, and a representative was there the next day. The representative was punctual. He was very courteous and did a great job. He gave me a play-by-play of the repair and made suggestions about what I could do in the future. The price was reasonable and he also inspected my other a/c unit outside (I have a 1929 house with three units).
Description of Work: My air conditioning unit was leaking. He made it stop leaking and I actually can't remember what he replaced.

He worked for one and a half hours. There was a 10% discount available. The total was $173.00. I certainly would recommend this company very highly. It was a pleasant experience. The work had been scheduled for Thursday. However, I got a call on Tuesday, 2 days earlier from Mr. Helms. He had a man available to do the jobs on Tuesday if I was interested. I agreed, and in about one half hour, the repairman appeared. He was a polite, pleasant young man.
Description of Work: I just bought a second refrigerator for my garage. Unfortunately the plug did not reach the outlet. The repairman had to install a new outlet closer to the refrigerator. The man seemed to know what he was doing and completed the task in a reasonable amount of time. I also had him take down a chandelier in my bathroom and replace it with a ceiling fixture. In addition he replaced the fluorescent tube in same bathroom. He cleaned up afterwards and took some worn fluorescent tubes and the chandelier with him so that I would not have to dispose of them. I was very pleased with the work.

They were very professional and they showed up on time. He did a very good job and the price was very good. He came like 40 minutes after I called him. I think he is a very reliable worker, and I will definitely hire him again.
Description of Work: They made some changes in the installation with the electricity of the A/C. I am not sure exactly what they did.

The fact that I had scheduling requirements is what took so long for the work to be scheduled. As soon as we had an agreed time, they were right out and did a great job. They are a reliable, professional company that is very available.

The job went very well. Marilyn Chang, my "liaison" with the Edd Helms office, was very helpful and friendly whenever I had questions. Despite a delay caused by me in getting our permits opened, she and Matthew Agostini, the head electrician, were patient and persistent. The electricial crew on site were prompt, hard working, friendly, polite, did good work, and worked well with the building's personnel. Not only was their work top-notch, they cleaned up every evening and kept me apprised of the status of the work. The job took longer than originally estimated, but that seemed to be because of unexpected issues with the wiring rather than a lack of effort on anyone's part.
Description of Work: Change out two electrical panels for two 10th floor condos. Job also required getting permits, changing wiring from 10th floor down to garage level, and final permit inspection.

I located Ed Helms Electric through Angie's List. I was panicked about not having use of a stove for the weekend. They went out of their way to accommodate me, and had Craig to my house within two hours. He was knowledgeable, courteous, and quick. Then all I had to do was try to convince Sears to come back.
Description of Work: On delivery of my new range, I discovered the old one was hardwired into the wall. An electrician had to install a three prong range receptacle and plate before I could cook again.

I was very happy with the work, especially since a few days prior I called another company that told me that my entire breaker box needed to be replaced as well as the wiring from my FPL box - a job that would cost me $3200!
Description of Work: My home had several rooms that were flickering at times and sometimes completely losing power. When I first called the woman on the phone recommended that I call FPL to make sure that it wasnt a problem there that could be fixed for free. After doing that and finding no problems I called back. An electrician was sent to my home that day. He looked over my breaker box and found several old and burned out breakers. Because they were older models they are no longer made - he called their offices and was able to find ones that were in good shape that the had on hand. He then drove off, picked them up, and returned to my house ASAP as I had to get back to work. Once the new breakers were installed everything worked great.

Long story short, the problem was not fixed, water is still seeping up from the line. I called the company to come back out and fix the problem and received attitude over the phone when I requested for them to come back out again. They also tried to get out of coming back by placing blame on the condo and saying that it was probably drain lines in the building and it was the condo's responsibility. A rep finally came out to recheck the problem and then told me that in order to MAYBE fix the problem it would cost $1400 and then he didn't know if it would fix it because he is not sure what the problem is. SO they want me to pay them $1400 dollars to rule out something they are not sure of. I am sorry I called them in the first place. Now I am out $400 for a problem that remains.
Description of Work: I called Edd Helms due to reputation to repair a leak of water coming from the A/C insulation line. Water is seeping up through the floor from the line. One of their reps came out and told me that there was a freon leak and he said he repaired it. The company rep was very nice but talked too much and spent 4 hours of my time talking about nonsense and socializing for a job that would have taken an hour at the most.

After talking to a lot of companies I was told I had a very difficult installation because of limited space in my attic for the air handle. Several companied refused to even bid on the job. This company assured me they could do the job without major renovation and in one day! They did it! They showed up in the morning and by 5pm they were done! No problems, very clean and very professional. After years of dealing with so called repair people in Miami, this was a pleasure. They did a very hard job on time and at the price quoted with no surprises. After years of dealing with one bad air conditioning service company after another this was a pleasure!
Description of Work: They installed a new split system Puron air conditioner and air handler.

I went to their website and they have a form you can fill out on-line to schedule a service call. I was called back rather quickly. There was no problems taking the coupon from this website. I also had questions about an electrical issue. I was transfered and got a quote on that also but have not scheduled them to come by. I was a little upset because they do not fix wall units, just central. I have both types in my home and both were broken. The men came and found the problem and had the item to fix it. They also cleaned out the unit before they left. I have 3 rather friendly dogs. This did not phase the men who came to fix it and they made sure the gate was closed as they were working. The man did not know about the coupon I had but he called into the office and it was promptly deducted from my total. All in all, I would say that it seemed a little higher than other companies but when the 10% was taken off, it was a little cheaper. So, basically an average call.
Description of Work: After a falling out with another AC guy, I came here and selected this company based on other's recommendations and even problems. I had learned from various repairs that it was my "outside" unit which was not working right. The fan had been replaced recently on top of the compressor. I was hoping it was not the compressor. It was not but another part. They had the part with them and fixed it right up. I believe that they called it a run capacitor.

They did extremely well. Mike Wood was the supervisor for this job, and he was very friendly and professional to work with. He spent many hours talking to us and looking at our electrical set up that we had at our 2 building complex. He was very thorough in his assessment of this job, and the overall job went very smoothly. They worked on Friday and Saturday for 3 weekends to complete the job. We had asked for this schedule, as we didn't want any down time for our business. We are completely happy with all the work done. They did excellent work. They are nice workers, do neat work, and best of all, I have no more electrical problems!
Description of Work: We needed major electrical work done to our 2 buildings to fix problems and bring us up to code. Basically, they ran a direct line of 3-phase voltage from the electrical vault to our machine shop building. They replaced all external and internal power boxes to accommodate the new voltage. In our main building, they ran new installation of existing equipment to correct long-standing problems we have had. The actual work done, as listed on our proposal, is 2 pages long and much too technical for me to list on this report.
