Given their reputation on Angie's List, I was disappointed that I did not get a return phone call, not even the next day. When I called again, I was told only emergencies are handled on weekends. It would have been nice to have received a return phone call to tell me this. I requested an appointment to repair the circuit and have several fixtures installed. I was quoted some prices that were expensive, and then was told this work is done only Monday threw Friday. It appears their client base consists of retirees and the wealthy who are able to wait all day for them. Some of us have to work Monday threw Friday and can't or don't want to take time off to wait for service. A business strategy change should be in order if they want new customers.
Description of Work: I had left a message on a Sunday afternoon requesting assistance for a blown circuit for my water heater. I left a message as instructed and was told I would be hearing from them "within minutes."

WE TOOK THE MEMBER'S SUGGESTION AND REVIEWED WITH OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT WE CAN RESPOND TO SERVICE REQUESTS 7 DAYS A WEEK. OF COURSE ALL SERVICE CALLS DURING NORMAL 8AM-5PM BUSINESS HOURS ARE LESS COSTLY THAN EVENINGS AND WEEKENDS.

They were friendly on the phone, came when they said they would and fixed the problem so the AC worked when he left.
Description of Work: Wonderful company. The representative that came to my home was very professional and explained everything to me. I was hot and in a bad mood because my AC had been out for over 24 hours. At first the tech thought a major part of the AC was the problem but with complete review of the system he found it was something small and it only cost $150.

They were completely professional. They were the only company with a year guarantee. They were the only company to repair cracks and holes in the ceiling due to weight, including one very large one where a worker almost fell through.

The ladies in the office that scheduled the work were courteous and professional and the job was scheduled without a significant delay. Matthew and his team did an excellent job. They arrived on-time, were very professional, were as neat as possible and cleaned up before they left. Although I found them to be a little more costly than the competition, there was never any effort to sell me something I didn't need and they offered suggestions to save me some money. I believe that I received good value for the extra dollars that I spent. I would use them again in a heartbeat and would highly recommend them to others.
Description of Work: Matthew and his associates installed a transfer breaker box for my generator, replaced and repaired four outdoor post lights, installed a new switch for our water fountain and installed 12 recessed ceiling lights.

The technician was on time, helpful, and very professional. I have already recommended the company to other people. I thought the prices were reasonable.
Description of Work: They reviewed bad repair work done by a part-time air conditioning repair tech who had been referred by a friend. The technician evaluated what needed to be done and provided me with a couple of options on how to proceed (at various prices). He repaired the sloppy work and gave me some guidance to provide to my landlord about required upgrades to bring the house up to code.

A huge waste of time based upon the amount of calls made, the care-free attitude that "We don't do that" after having explained the job and set the appointment and being told it was scheduled. Waiting all day for a service man was an even bigger waste of time.
Description of Work: After waiting ten days for this company to make a house call which they scheduled with me, they never showed up. When contacted early on that day, I was told the man was in Hollywood and would come next to my house. He never did. When I called again that day, I was told "We don't do that." Meaning the electrician would not come to the house to install an exhaust fan, "because we don't do that".

DURING INITIAL CUSTOMER CALL WE EXPLAINED TO CUSTOMER THAT INSTALLING A BATHROOM EXHAUST FAN WHERE ONE NEVER EXISTED WAS NOT A REPAIR CALL, PARTICULARLY WHEN THE EXHAUST FAN ALREADY PURCHASED BY THE CUSTOMER FROM A HOME IMPROVEMENT STORE WAS NOT SUITABLE FOR THE JOB. EXPLAINED TO CUSTOMER THERE WAS A CHARGE FOR THIS ELECTRICAL ESTIMATE AND THAT THE ESTIMATE FEE WOULD BE CREDITED TOWARDS THE PRICE OF THE JOB IF WE WERE HIRED. THE CUSTOMER AGREED AND THE APPOINTMENT DATE WAS SET. ON THE MORNING OF THE APPOINTMENT WE CALLED CUSTOMER TO CONFIRM ADDRESS AND TO AGAIN MAKE SURE THE CUSTOMER UNDERSTOOD THERE WAS AN ESTIMATE CHARGE, AT WHICH TIME THE CUSTOMER REFUSED TO PAY THE ESTIMATE CHARGE, CONSEQUENTLY WE INFORMED THE CUSTOMER THE APPOINTMENT WAS CANCELED.

Everyone we dealt with was professional & courteous. They came out the same day we called, even though it wasn't an emergency. Price was reasonable and comparable to other companies for similar work. We will definitely use them again.

The company scheduled an appointment for the day after I called; the electrician arrived on time, worked efficiently and finished the job in a reasonable time (important because the company bills by the hour). He was polite and very friendly. The work appears to be of excellent quality. He happily honored my Angie's List discount coupon.

This company is a rip-off. They charged me $99 for nothing; quoted one price on other things and then tried to write the order up for more and tried to sell me a worthless ''maintenance'' plan. Stay away.
Description of Work: I asked them to come out and check the electrical on my air conditioning. The service man was here 2 minutes and said everything was fine. Despite not doing anything he charged me $99. He then tried to get me to buy other services. He said I need to clean the unit and it would cost $400. But when I looked at the written estimate it was $660. I told him to forget it. He also tried to get me to sign up for ''Value Club Maintenance'' at $170 a year. This covers coming out twice and 15% off any work. Hardly a bargain.

$99

Response from Edd Helms Group Inc
DURING NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS WE HAVE AN AC DIAGNOSTIC SERVICE FEE OF $74 TO COME TO THE HOME AND CHECK OUT WHATEVER THE CUSTOMER ASKS US TO LOOK AT. AFTER NORMAL HOURS THE AC DIAGNOSTIC FEE IS $99. WE DO OUR BEST TO MAKE SURE EVERY AC CUSTOMER UNDERSTANDS THESE MINIMUM CHARGES APPLY TO EVERY SERVICE CALL. AS THIS CUSTOMER EXPLAINS, WE DISPATCHED A SERVICE TECHNICIAN AFTER HOURS, AND WE FOUND NO ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH IS AC, BUT WE DID FIND THE UNIT WAS DIRTY AND WOULD COOL BETTER IF THE COIL WAS CLEANED AND THE UNIT SERVICED. IF THE CUSTOMER HAD PURCHASED THE VALUE CLUB AN COIL CLEANING, THE $99 DIAGNOSTIC FEE WAS INCLUDED IN THE TOTAL PRICE, AND WE WOULD HAVE CLEANED AND SERVICED THE AC. IT WAS REGRETTABLE WE DID NOT EXPLAIN THESE CHOICES TO THE CUSTOMER MORE CLEARLY. WADE HELMS

They arrived less than 2 hours after I called and fixed the air conditioner in a short amount of time. They were very courteous, easy to talk with, and reasonably priced. After checking some things, they pointed out a problem we have with the placement of the thermostat. I would definitely call them again.

It was a big job to convert our house to circuit breaker. The county checked their work twice and were satisfied with the work this company did. They may not be the cheapest but they are professional, courteous, and worth the expense. They arrived when they said they would. They will come back and fix things until you are satisfied.

Unpleasant, not helpful, and rude on the phone.
Description of Work: The person I spoke with (woman-Nicole?) was very rude when I inquired about the pricing of replacing a circuit breaker and repairing a light fixture. She was very upset that I could not tell her the name of the manufacturer of the switch. I went to my fuse box and asked if I would be able to find this information for her but since I could not, I was deemed an idiot in her eyes! Very unpleasant and I would not call them again!
