YOUNGS ELECTRICAL SERVICE

After Oct 25, 07 I thought all breakers were working properly. Wrong!! Had to call him back several times to correct several breaker errors in the outside panels. Dec 13, 07 Installed only 30 ft of pvc pipe to water softener from panel. I dug the trench from shed to water softener where he was supposed to install a new line. The wiring had been covered over before I got home. Apr 17, 08 Installed only 15 ft of wire to pool pump from panel. May 5, 08 I was watching while he checked the sumppump wiring in panel and I saw that he had not connected the wire afterall, but he said it was a broken wire on the plug, restripped and secured wire on plug. I told him I saw that the sumppump wire had not been connected before and watched him connect it to a spare breaker, but he insisted it was the broken plug wire. Nov 2, 2009 Water softener and irrigation system stopped working. I tried to call Mike, left message but no response. Called another electrician from Angies List. I dug up the wiring from water softener to the shed and discovered 2 splices connecting old wiring. These splices were shorting out the systems. Nov 4, 2009 Electrician came in and connected the water softener and irrigation system with one new wire. Overall service from Young's is continuing to cause problems inside and outside of house.

They came within a day or two after I called them. They did a good job. They are slightly overpriced.

They did a good job both time at a very reasonable price. They were polite and friendly working in my home. I felt comfortable while they were there.

I could not be more pleased! Mike Young was able to do the work the day I called to set up an appointment, which was a pleasant surprise and probably not a usual situation. He arrived exactly when he predicated and was very personable and professional. He looked at the dishwasher, which was the main reason I called him, but then was willing to look at the other two projects listed. He talked over my options for all three, and gave me options for how he could fix things, always ensuring I knew what the least expensive choice was. The price was discussed prior to him starting work, and it was the exact price I paid when the work was completed, no changes or add-ons. Mike worked quickly and efficiently, and was quite willing to explain what he was doing and give me a very basic electrical education! We encountered a small mishap when the water line to the dishwasher disconnected, and he handled the situation well, quickly turning off the water supply, and cleaning up the small mess. He ensured that just the dishwasher was turned off, and that I had water everywhere else before he left. Although he attempted to reconnect the line, which is old and difficult to reattach, he was quite honest that he did not want to do a bad job, and leave me with a bigger problem if it disconnected again because he did not fix it properly. I greatly appreciated his honesty, since I have known some people to be more concerned about their reputation (leave a customer with a something broken - not good!) than with the potential harm to the customer. Mike was cheerful and friendly the entire time, did great work at a good price, educated me about electrical work, entertained me with stories about his family, and left me knowing that he will be the first and only person I will call when I need electrical work done.

They didn't try to sell us a bunch of stuff that we didn't need. They got the parts that would fix our lights. They were prompt, and they were here when they were supposed to be. They were reasonably priced as well.

The tech came out and really explained everything that was going on with our system. He even walked through the house and found a room that wasn't receiving any air. He fixed that problem and we haven't had any problems since. I would use them again.

I called Mike over 2 weeks ago and he said he'd call me back in 15 minutes. I never heard from him.

Mike was 1 1/2 hours late arriving to give me an estimate. The price quoted was great and a co-worker (who also introduced me to Angie's List) highly recommended him. On the scheduled day to begin the crew was about 3 hrs late arriving. The job was estimated to only take 1 day to complete, but actually took almost 2 1/2 days to complete. Overall I am very satisfied with the job and would recommend him to others looking for electrical services. Punctuality was not as great as I would have liked, but I knew that going into it from reading other submitted reports and had been told by my co-worker as well.

Mike is friendly, cooperative, willing to please. However, he was not able to show up at the appointed time even when the time was set by him. To his credit, he always called, and, in this case, time was not an issue. I will probably call Mike to change out light fixtures in my residence. Estimated cost was $350.

Mr. Young misdiagnosed the problem and did not fix it. I submitted a glowing report on Sat Nov 10 but I must reverse myself. I called Mr. Young on Monday to report the problem. He told me to call him this morning at 8 AM because he did not have his schedule when I called on Monday. He did not pick up this morning and I left a message on his answering machine. It is now 5:35 PM and he still has not returned the call. I purchased a relay and installed it myself thereby correcting the situation. I feel Mr. Young's behavior is unacceptable and certainly not professional. I will not use him in the future.

The project went well overall, Mike and his helper do a fast, neat and professional job. The only real snafu occured when Mike was running late and we had to reschedule.

The overall job that was done was fine. The ceiling box and connections were installed and a light switch was installed on the wall. I had a problem with the worker, not the work. In order to reach the ceiling he stood on my couch with his work boots on. I had a ladder he could have used but I guess he thought this was quicker. Also, when trying to install the switch on the wall, he chose the wrong place but only discovered that after he had cut the wall. He also left a huge mess! All the plaster that had come from the ceiling was all over the bar and sofa. He also left shoe marks on my couch.

We were able to get a hold of them with ease and they came right out. The job was done quickly and wired neatly. The price in my opinion was quite reasonable. I would recommend them to others.

I'm sure they could have done the work competently, but in this business you don't get three strikes. He was very responsive each time I phoned and apologized profusely for failing to meet our scheduled times, but after the second no show it was obvious to me that my business wasn't important to them.

Easy to work with and very nice crew. Figured out the problems quickly and explained procedures.

Great, showed up on time and did the work in a very timely manner.

He was unable to make the first appointment that was set due to other job demands. Although during each contact with him I described the problem and my desire to get the plumbing grounded and the water heater checked, he was unprepared to do the work during the initial visit. He was also unable to provide an estimate because he did not have the equipment to perform the necessary evaluations. He asserted that I needed a new indoor breaker box before confirming that I only had copper wiring in the house. Although far from new, the breaker box was working effectively without need for intervention or repair. The grounding of the plumbing system and evaluation of the hot water heater did not take place until the the 2nd visit and 3rd appointment that was scheduled over a week's period.

Mike was originally scheduled to come on Friday and called that morning to see if he could come Saturday morning, that was ok with us. He did not get to our house until about 11:30 am after he had called to say he would be there between 10:30 and 11 am. He did the work in the estimated time(1 1/2 hrs). When he was finished he told us to make the check out to him as he was carrying his tools out the door. He thanked us and told us to write a good report. He did not clean up one bit of the huge mess he made, did not throw away a box, the old lights were just left on the floor, he did not even close the drains in the sinks to keep debris from going down. It was a mess, but we do like our new lights.

They also installed a sensor light outside for security.

Took more effort than estimated due to difficulties in accessing wiring to be replaced. But Mike stuck with his initial estimate and got the work done as promised. Mike and Terry did a great job!

Incredible. Mike takes all calls himself, and came out with another of his electricians the same day to check out the problem. He was able to bypass the faulty circuit breaker to get power restored, and returned the next day to completely replace the old breaker box. The bedroom problem was now just a nuisance, but Mike and Terry fixed that, also, in a matter of about 30 minutes. He knows what he's doing, and does it well, at a very fair price.

They were here on time, did a professional job. They were excellent. I would use them again.

Sounds simple right? It wasn't, considerable ground digging in and out and around oak and pine roots was required to find and replace the wiring from the house to the shed and to the water softener outlet. Getting access to our breaker panel in the house was also pretty delicate and difficult. Mike did a terrific job. His charge was higher than the final charge of $600 and higher than the bid price of $575 but he kept giving us discounts and ended up at the $600 price. We are planning on having him come back in a few months to do some more dead outlet work and possibly to move the breaker panel to a more accessible location. My husband and I are very impressed with Mike's work and highly recommend him for any electrical job.

They did a good job. The owner is a master electrician, and it really shows in the work that he does. You can tell that he enjoys his work, and he is reasonably priced.

Job was done quick and done very well. They were nice guys who were entertaining as well as real good at their job. Very happy with the work they've done, thumbs up in all categories! By the way no surprises in price either, what he quotes you is what he charges.
