Outstanding service. The electrician was on time. He was very helpful in explaining how the job could be done, and he didn't overwhelm us with electrical jargon. He quoted a fair price for the work; the work was completed in an excellent manner with no mess/clean-up left behind. I also received a quote on outdoor lighting and electrical outlets that I thought was superb. I plan on using Groves again.
Description of Work: We had a kitchen pot light that was flickering on and off, we had an over-sink light that needed repair, we needed an additional outlet, and we needed a home surge protector. While the electrician was there, we also asked for a quote on outdoor lighting.

The technician (polite and knowledgeable) arrived actually a couple minutes earlier than promised. He had the electric surge suppressor in the truck, but, since the cable and telephone suppressors are rather rare items, he left to pick them up. When he returned, he installed them in less than a half-hour, and we never lost electricity the entire time. A few days later, we received a thank-you-for-your-business (partially hand written) note in the mail. The whole process was a pleasant very experience. I certainly will use them again.
Description of Work: Aware that lightening likes the Tampa Bay area, we had a whole house electric surge suppressor, cable suppressor, and telephone suppressor installed.

They did a terrific job. They were very courteous and professional.
Description of Work: Jon and Eddie fixed the existing wiring issues to a light that hadn't been working correctly in years and got my favorite ceiling fan up and running again to peak performance. They are very reliable and courteous. They called before coming out to the house to let me know they were on their way and they arrived at the appointed time. We have white carpeting so they were careful to remove their shoes and wear booties inside the house. Jon also resolved a power failure to a ceiling fan. This has been a recurring problem for two years. Jon was able to identify that the power failure problem was in the wall switch and not caused by the expensive ceiling fan, which had previously been misdiagnosed by another electrical contracting company. Jon changed the fan remote from the Dan's Fan switch and replaced it with a Hampton Bay remote. This involved adding a different transmitter into the fan and removing the existing fan switch. Dan's Fan had been giving us free wall switches every time the fan failed to operate. This has been going on for over two years. This was our fifth fan wall switch/ remote to fail. Another contractor from another company had incorrectly evaluated that it was the ceiling fan that was causing the switch to fail. Thanks to Jon, the fan is working perfectly now. He even provided a dimmer feature on the remote that I didn't have on the other remote. I was very impressed with Jon's high caliber of electrical expertise and his ability to quickly troubleshoot existing problems. In addition to the excellent service, Jon and Eddie also went above and beyond their service by repositioning a large bookcase which had been moved out from the wall that hid a lot of Verizon electrical connections, equipment and wiring . They had to disconnect and reconnect all the Verizon equipment in order to accomplish this, which they did successfully and even hid all the wiring behind the bookcase at no extra charge. My husband and I were so impressed with Groves Electric that we have made another appointment for them to return and take on another project. On May 4th they will return to rewire our pool lighting and replace the pool light transformer. We have every confidence that this job will be performed with the same high caliber of expertise and professionalism as the work they have just completed.

Jon and Eddie were friendly, efficient and respectful of our home. While Eddie worked on the outdoor fixtures, Jon tackled the electrical problem in the attic. My idea was to install a junction box to replace a frayed cable, but after assessing the short run, Jon suggested that running a new cable which was a much better idea and will eliminate future problems. He also noticed a bad socket for one of the two ceiling lights and replaced the socket at no additional charge. In the meantime, Eddie verified the motion detector circuits were working and asked me how much time I wanted to have the lights stay on when tripped. They swept and vacuumed the work area and were in and out in less than an hour. There was no sense that they were in a hurry to get out. I now have a "Go to" electrical contractor for all future electrical needs.

I called them out to give me an estimate for installing 2 outlets for some rope lighting that I didn't want to show; up high on a shelf. Kirby and Eddie came out and provided an estimate and while they were here I had them look at a couple of mounted TV's that needed some wires hidden in the wall. They provided an estimate for everything and were very professional and knowledgable of what needed to be done. I agreed to the price and received my 10% off from Angie's List, which saved me $66.00! They performed the work right away and did a fantastic job and cleaned up everything and placed everything back where it was and really did a professional job from A to Z. They even volunteered to put shoe covers on that I have placed at the front door without me asking. I've already scheduled another estimate to look at some phone wiring that I need taken care of! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY for anything you need! They are a professional group that you won't mind having in your home!
Description of Work: Install 2 outlets high on the wall for rope lighting, and hide TV wires behind the wall on 2 TV's in the home.

Overall, this was a good experience. All dealings with the company were pleasant, and I never felt pressured to do work that I didn't need or want. The price seemed a little high to me, but then again, I don't have much to compare it to, as I haven't used an electrician in a long time. That being said, I felt the job was performed correctly, quickly, and up to code. I would definitely use again.
Description of Work: Over a weekend, we started experiencing one of our circuit breakers randomly shutting off. I called Monday morning and talked to Chris Groves. I explained the problem, gave some information, and he had a guy come out around noon. The technician that came out was prompt, personable, thorough, and explained what was causes that type of issue. He replaced the faulty circuit breaker and checked all of the outlets and switches on that breaker to make sure there wouldn't be ongoing problems. I also had him give me estimates for some other work (adding outlets and lights to the exterior rear of the house) that we may decide to do soon.

I can't say enough good things about the effort, professionalism and quality of service Groves Electric provides. I wish every contractor I have encountered was this good. They told me in advance what everything would cost and stayed within that. His Crews are very experienced and do excellent work and Chris was here at start and finish to make sure I was satisfied. I am a fairly particular person when it comes to what I expect and they exceeded my expectations. I think their pricing is fair especially considering the quality of their work. Don't think twice about calling them. I will use them for all my electrical needs.
Description of Work: Don't let the cost number in the report scare you. This is really for two different jobs within about a two week period. Chris Groves and his team were fantastic and exceeded my expectations. I was expecting out of town company in February and my new pool heater shut down. Called Groves based on Angies list recommendations. He called me back quickly, it was already afternoon but he said he would try to get a crew out there in the evening if he could. I figured they probably wouldn't be able to fit me in until morning but they showed up at 6:30 pm and got the heater up and working. Chris alerted me to the fact that the heater had not been wired correctly when it was installed. It was a 40amp unit and had been placed on a 30amp circut. They were out the next morning ran new wiring and installed a new breaker, new circut, rewired the heater, and also grounded the heater which also had not been done properly. It has worked perfectly since then. I was also in the process of having my house painted and when that work was complete I had them come back and install new front door sconces/lanterns , a new back door sconce, new light in garage, several GFI's, a new outlet in the garage, repair two outdoor outlets and replace a timer switch and and outdoor ceiling and fan switches and plates. All this work took place around freshly painted walls. And they didn't leave a mark.

Overall the men conducted themselves professionally and seemed very knowledgeable and worked well together. (I don't like it when a team tends to be impatient or bicker.) These men really supported each other.
Description of Work: I had gotten the name from a flyer left at my home and verified they were in good standing with Angies List. After the initial consultation with the owner, two men came to my home as promised. They reviewed options for installation of lighting and a ceiling fan and worked efficiently. The residence is a one story with low ceilings and tight attic. They installed 10 recessed lights with two dimmers, a ceiling fan with light kit, and a motion spotlight outside. Later in the day they got a little extra help from the owner to finish up as anticipated. They cleaned up well and I would use their services in the future.

They gave me a decent price for the job (not an hourly rate) and actually brought out 4 electricians so they could finish the entire job in one day. In all, they hooked up the water heater, serviced the inside service panel and completely replaced he outside service panel. The work was excellent - no complaints.
Description of Work: I had a water heater timer catch on fire during the night. Thankfully the damage was very limited, but the water heater was toast. I replaced the water heater myself and plumbed it, but I didn't trust the electrical because I didn't know what caused the (electrical) fire. I called Groves on Sunday night and they set up a service call for the morning. After an inspection of the system, they identified some dangerously loose wires in the inside service panel (I was present during the entire inspection, so I verified that they weren't "finding" work) and the outside panel was nearly rusted out.

Chris and Eddie showed up on time and did an extraordinary job ! I gave them some specific tasks to take care which completed to my satisfaction. They also answered several questions that were unrelated to the original job to help educate me. Chris and Eddie also took care of a few other smaller things as well; becasue those tasks were completed within the hour they did not charge me anything extra. They were very professional, cordial and courteous. They noticed that we did not wear shoes in our home and promptly removed their shoes without us asking. Chris and Eddie cleaned up after they were done and did and exceptional job overall. I would recommend them to others.

When he was done with original work he detected a "sizzle" and discovered that we had some incorrect circuit breakers in our box. They had not yet damaged the panel but were definitely a hazard. He immediately removed them, checked everything and installed replacements. Probably saved us from a fire or complete circuit breaker box replacement (costly). Would definitely hire again.
Description of Work: Hired to find why some lights flicker and flash but only during cold dry weather. Also had a remote added for ceiling fan/light fixture and had a surge protector added to circuit breaker box to protect from lightning.

The electrician was on-time, clean cut, polite, friendly, and most of all, he knew his trade. He got right to work, checked all components (the doorbell button, the chime, the power supply, etc), and did not hesitate to go up in the attic (not easy) and follow the wire which was hidden by insulation. Yuck. Before I knew it, the doorbell was working. No mess. The price was fair, and I even got a 10% discount off the total by printing out the angie's list coupon. I will call them again.
Description of Work: Troubleshoot and repair of doorbell that was not working. Went up in my attic and followed the wire until he found the break in the line, repaired it, and re-routed the wire so it would not happen again.

Groves Electric checked it out said that there was nothing was wrong. They didn't charge me anything. That was a surprise. Since I felt a little guilty about having them come out and not pay for anything, I paid for them to do one or two small things for a total of $30.00. They put on a junction box cover for me on two of them. I thought the experience was very good. If I ever needed, I probably would use them again. I found them on Angie's List. They didn't charge me anything for what they did other than what I asked them to do. Their responsiveness was very good. They were on time. Their professionalism was very good too. The owner even came out.
Description of Work: Groves Electric came out and checked some wiring which in a home inspection I was told that there might be a problem.
