Chris and his employees were very prompt, professional and personable. I will certainly use him again and would definately recommend him to others.
Description of Work: When I called on a Tuesday, Chris answered immediately and he scheduled to come out the following day. He arrived on time with 2 employees, quickly diagnosed the problem and prepared an estimate. Due to financial restraints on my part, we narrowed down what had to be done immediately and what work could wait until a later time. Chris willingly worked with me on that. I even added an additional project for him which required him to get an additional part, but he did not charge me for the part or for his time to go to get it.

Best contractors I've ever had in my home! They were on time, very pleasant, and friendly. They worked quickly but thoroughly with no surprises. They knew exactly what to do and how to do it. John and Eddie were the gents doing the work. Chris stopped in to make sure all was going as planned. What nice guys.
Description of Work: My kitchen required an outlet in the main counter area; my new disposal required a dedicated line and my new microwave need an outlet. They also did some repairs outside at the outlet and on the roof. They had to replace and rewire a line from my water heater running under the house.

I left a call back message late one evening. At 8 a.m. the next morning Chris Groves returned my call. Briefly described to him what I wanted. He offered to drop by and give me an estimate that same morning. He inspected the electrical job to be done and gave me a written quotation. Offered great suggestions. Offered to do the job the same day. Quote was a few dollars higher than a previous quote, but we felt very comfortable with Chris and his crew. They finished the job on time and cleaned up the work area afterwards. The next day I noticed that the security light timer was not working properly. Called Chris the next morning and he came by the house a couple of hours later and cheerfully replaced the defective part. We would highly recommend Chris to anyone needing electrical installations or repairs.
Description of Work: Installed lanai can lights over outdoor cooktop in 12 foot ceiling. Installed exterior flood lights with security switch. Installed on/off switches for can lights and flood lights. Repaired outdoor fan switch. Installed lightning protection in breaker box. Repaired wiring and installed a junction box.

He was very polite, personable and professional. He was here for probably about 4 hours and he did a great job. I got the Angie?s List discount from him. The price was normal - he was no better than anybody else nor was he worse. He was better in the fact that he gave a free estimate, and didn?t charge travel charges, which was very unusual. What he does is very specialized and his charges of about $80 an hour is typical.
Description of Work: I used Groves Electric to fix some miscellaneous electrical problems for me. He installed an additional electric outlet, and fixed the circuit involving an outlet and a light that wasn’t working.

Everything was wonderful. Jon arrived on time, polite and professional. He was thorough and clear in his explanation of what the problems were with the various fixtures. Chris (the owner/operator- also extremely polite and professional) stopped by to oversee the project and to go to the store to purchase the parts needed for repair. The jobs were completed same morning. I would rate the entire experience A+.
Description of Work: Jon fixed out front porch ceiling fans - which had previously stopped functioning, fixed the kitchen sink light, which had blown out in dramatice fashion (flame, sparks and all), plus they installed a surge protector in our electrical box to protect our entire house/appliances from surge damage.

The two man crew arrived exactly on time on the scheduled days. The work involved being without electricity for quite a while, but they worked hard to make that time as short as possible. They were professional, the work was neat, and left the job site clean. When the portable generator, which I supplied, was determined to be defective, Chris examined the paperwork, called the supplier to see if they had a replacement in stock, loaded the defective generator on his truck, drove from Brandon to Plant City and exchanged it. I feel like this was above and beyond the scope of his work. It was excellent customer service. The kind of service that you rarely get these days. When two of the four motion sensor lights did not work as they should, I called Chris and he sent John out to replace them that very day. I've had no problems since then.
Description of Work: I had my electric panel replaced and wired to accomodate a portable house generator. Also, they installed four motion sensor lights outside, two new bathroom light fixtures, replaced four GFI plugs, rewired the hot water heater, installed a sub-electric panel in the attic, repaired two overhead light fixtures in the garage and replaced one light fixture over the workbench.

They came in and threaded the cables from the FIOS box to the wall behind the entertainment center. Since it was FIOS, they had me call the phone company to complete the connections, but they did a good job and even cleaned up after themselves. Very professional, inexpensive and fast. Will be calling them again to do more electrical work in the future.
Description of Work: I had called the phone company to install 2 new jacks on a wall behind our entertainment center. They came out and refused to do the work. I called Groves and they said it would be tricky, but they would be able to do the work, which they did right then and there. Took them less than 30 mins to perform the work and they were very professional.

Description of Work: Moved the sprinkler system controller located in the garage to the right side of the electrical panel, including a whip to its own circuit. When the electrical work was completed, tested the sprinkler system. Tested to ensure that each zone was working.

Description of Work: We are having voltage drop problems throughout the house. Lights flicker, appliances go off and on, etc. Chris inspected our breaker boxes, tightened some loose connections and determined the problem is likely coming from the electric company.

The job went great! Chris and Eddie were both very professional, prompt, and easy to work with. They did the work quickly and efficiently.

Chris is prompt and efficient. We have used him before for renovation work and feel very comfortable with his ability. He is professional and friendly.
Description of Work: We were purchasing a new property (Oct, 2008) and some electrical issues were discovered during the general inspection. There were some problems with the electrical panel and with a lighting fixture. We hired Chris and asked him to confirm the findings. He prepared his report and was hired by the seller's Realtor to perform the work.

When Chris arrived he brought two of his guys with him. Although Chris did not stay for completion his main guy Jonathan was excellent. Chris is young, smart and very professional. His guys know what they are doing, they are super courteous and they clean up after all their work. I was really impressed with the level of professionalism as compared to other companies I've used in the past. After this job I was so happy I asked Chris for estimates on future jobs. I will definitely use these guys again.
Description of Work: I called Grove's Electric for an estimate on interconnecting electrical smoke detectors for my house and installation of an additional phone line. The price was good so I scheduled for Chris and his guys to come out that same week.

We had been having problems with fuses tripping, light bulbs burning out within a few days and then a kitchen light bulb exploded one night. Groves Electric scheduled our project within 2 days of our initial conversation. The Groves Electric team is terrific. They explained everything to us and provided options to resolve our electrical issues. They are very knowledgeable and happy to share information. Our home has been free of surges, tripped fuses, and exploding light bulbs since the work was completed. Wonderful! I will definitely use them again when the need arises.
Description of Work: We had 2 outdoor electrical outlets installed, added a dimmer switch in the dining room, a surge protector was installed on the electric panel and a few other miscellaneous items were fixed.

I e-mailed Chris after reading all the good reports he got from Angie's list and described my problem.He called me several days later and we arranged for him to come over the next day. He was very prompt, arriving a half hour early. My problem was that the AC compressor would cut-off frequently and wouldn't cool. After checking my entire central AC system, he found a burnt out part in the compressor and replaced it. This was after the AC company that installed my unit could not fix it after 3 service visits. So Chris came over and found the burned out part that the AC company over-looked! Chris also replaced several wall outlets' wiring that weren't functioning well. He cheerfully gave me the Angie's List 10% discount as a first time customer for service and parts. Chris was excellent and I highly recommend him and his company. My central AC unit is cooling better than ever! Chris is a gem!

They are really good. They are very reasonable, and they come out and evaluate the situation. We were going to put in a dishwasher and they told us that our fuse box was outdated. They kept us informed and they told us to check online for the problem. We are fortunate that they caught it because we found out others had caught on fire.
Description of Work: We have used them for quite a few jobs. They practically redid my entire kitchen.
