I called for an estimate, but when we talked about the work to be done it was decided that Chris Groves, the owner, would come out in a couple of days to confirm the information and do the work. Chris was a couple of minutes late; but, he called to confirm he was minutes away. He arrived as promised and did the work for the minimum charge of $100. When we talked on the phone he had said it would be less than $200 and he would work on an hourly basis, with a one hour minimum. He gave me an estimate for one of the next stages of our multi project remodel.
Description of Work: Rough-in electric wiring for a garbage disposal. The plumber I'm using for the kitchen remodel does not do electrical other than hooking the electrical units into existing service.

When I called Groves, Chris said he would be there in approx 1 hour, and gave me the cost of his visit up front. He showed up as promised, found the Bathroom GFI problem and the Bedroom problem very quickly. After repairing the work, he said I had additional time left and asked if anything else needed correcting. The bathroom originally did not have a reset-able GFI, so I asked him to change it, and he did within the time period. We also discussed a whole house surge protector, which he also installed, all within the one hour initial charge. They did not stop the whole time they were here, and I got my hour's worth.
Description of Work: My outlets in one Bathroom stopped working, and in one Bedroom all electrical power was off. They were replaced and corrected.

Chris and his associate were very nice, efficient and did a good job. He also provided me with detailed estimate on some additional work that I plan to have done in the near future. I feel confident that they will do a good job with those projects as well. I have no problem paying for good, quality service which can be difficult to find. Thanks Chris!

Chris replaced the main electrical box including surge protector. During the early morning on a Sunday, my lights kept going on and off. When we looked at the main box, we saw sparks and called two electricians. The first one felt that the sparking wasn't a problem and could wait until the middle of the week to fix. When I called Chris, he echoed my concern and said he would come over to check it. At 9:00 AM on a Sunday morning, Chris arrived, checked the box,and confirmed that it should be replaced as soon as possible to avoid any serious problems. He got the parts and replaced the box. Since it was a Sunday, his crew was not available, so he did the work himself. I found Chris very professional, knowledgeable and efficient and a really nice guy. His price was comparable with the first quote and he did it on a Sunday. I am very grateful for his concern and conscientiousness. I will definitely use him again and highly recommend him.

The same day I called Chris, he went out of his way to come right over to estimate the job. I liked his honesty and forthrightness immediately. I also liked his price, so we set a date. He and his efficient, polite crew showed up right on time and did a great job in just a few hours. Everything was done according to agreement and we have already let him know that we will hire him again when we have further electrical needs! We HIGHLY recommend calling Chris Groves for your electrical projects!

Chris Groves and his crew are great. Dependable, professional. I'd previously hired them (on a friend's recommendation) to add a couple of receptacles and replace a subpanel. This latest series of visits began with replacing an outdoor light and garbage disposal and adding a surge protector (a few hours work), followed by replacing the main line into the house, meter box and breaker box (a day's work), followed by a week of top-to-bottom rewiring. The prices were good, and Chris offered some breaks, including a percentage discount if I did the whole house, deletion of old knob and tube relics, and free assembling and installation of any new ceiling lights I provided. He spelled it all out with a detailed written estimate in advance. The work went fast, with four guys at a time on the job some days. I felt comfortable leaving the crew in my house while I went to work. They were thoughtful about cleaning up and, added bonus, even threw the ball around for my dogs.
Description of Work: Rewired 1920s bungalow (1,100 square foot, two-bedroom, two-bath), including new incoming line, meter box, breaker panel, surge protection, removed knob and tube wiring, installed GFI protection in kitchen, replaced disposal, added three new outdoor receptacles, rewired all other receptacles, rewired all switches and overhead lights, assembled/installed several new overhead fixtures, added lights and receptacle in attic, etc.

On time. Efficient. Thorough. Knows his job. I have recommended to others. The surge protector he installed his first visit saved appliances, computers and my sanity. He is professional and knows his job and does it with a smile.
Description of Work: Groves has come out twice: once to check on electrical wiring problems; once after lightening struck. Chris Groves was terrific. He found and fixed the first wiring problem with no problem. Because it was so quick I asked about the TECO surge protector. He said he had a similar unit with him and I had him install it that morning (May 29th). July 3rd lightening struck just outside my home in the early evening. It was not until later that I discovered it had taken out my FIOS cable system. Turns out it also got power to the back 2 bedrooms. Bottom line: his surge protector saved my computers. When I noticed the strike had tripped circuit breakers and switched them back on the next day, we heard a pop and smelled an electrical fire smell. I called him immediately. Even though it was a holiday, the smell of electrical burning wires was too dangerous not to check. He came right out, on the holiday at no extra change, to find it zapped my older fire alarm system. He is wonderful.

We had a dangerous situation with our wiring and electrical panel. We lucked out with this contractor, as he had a job cancel on him at the last minute. We called at 8:00am; they were on-site (with four individuals) by 8:30 am. Spent all day performing the work. We were so pleased with their estimate that we went ahead and had them upgrade several other electrical/safety issues. Our home is much safer as a result. Have not had any issues after the fact that would require a call-out from the contractor.
Description of Work: Removed and replaced 150amp panel w/200amp panel, installed generator tie-in, installed two service disconnects, installed 6 GFI receptacles. Upgrade to 200amp panel required replacement of alum. wire from TECO w/copper. Identified both before and after the upgrade respective circuits, labeled appropriately in the new panel. Tested circuits, including the generator tie-in (with generator running).

I had Chris come over to repair a few things at my house ended up doing more extensive work, some of which was safety related. Chris showed up at 6 a.m. for two days with two people and worked all day fixing lots of my challenging electrical issues. Seem to be very honest, efficient and practical. I would definitely recommend him again.
Description of Work: Replaced unsafe electrical panel and breakers, troubleshoot a short with suspended exterior lighting, replace old cloth conduit from the various sub panels, fixed attic fan, installed a new rocker switch, better lighting in my bedroom closet (request from my wife), installed new floodlight with switch, cleaned up lots of redneck electrical work that was done by others in the past.

The job went very smoothly and quickly; the power had to be off for only 4 hours. I called the company just to find out whether I had enough power to add a freezer to the utility shed. In evaluating the circuit breakers, the electrician told me that the manufacturer of the box (Federated Pacific) was out of business and found guilty of consumer fraud for concealing that it s a fire hazard. The breakers tend not to shut off automatically when needed. He called the company owner/president (Chris Groves) to advise me about replacing it, but he also gave me time to confirm this information independently. Chris explained about replacing it, along with other wiring, and gave an estimate including Angie's List discount. He called another worker to do the job that same day. All three were very professional. And they even labeled the new circuits for me and cleaned up all debris.
Description of Work: The work performed was a replacement of the entire circuit breaker box, reconnecting all the wires, and changing the old wiring on the washer/dryer and water heater that did not meet current codes. Also advised me about adding appliances to outlets in utility shed and adding surge protector for house to outside box.

IT WAS A PLEASURE WORKING WITH THE MEMBER. THE FEDERAL PACIFIC BRAND AND ZINSCO BRAND OF BREAKER PANELS ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DUE TO THEIR FAILURE TO SHUT OFF SHORT CIRCUITS; THIS IS IN TURN MAY CAUSE A FIRE. I ALWAYS FEEL A SENSE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT WHEN WE REPLACE ONE OF THESE PANELS. THE SURGE PROTECTOR IS A MUST TOO FOR TAMPA RESIDENTS TO PROTECT FROM LIGHTNING STRIKES AND POWER COMPANY SURGES. WE APPRECIATE THE WORK! CHRIS

I have already recommended them to my friends and wouldn't consider having any other electricians in. The guys were punctual, the job was completed thoroughly, quickly, on time, and at the price quoted. They cleaned everything up beautifully each day before they left. Overall absolutely terrific - the team was wonderful, very very pleasant fellows and all were professionals. I am delighted with the service, quality, professionalism - a great job done by great guys.
Description of Work: Fantastic job! Chris Groves and his team were absolutely a pleasure to work with, and the job exceeded my expectations. I hired Chris on the spot to do the job, without soliciting additional bids, due to his obvious integrity, professionalism, and knowledge. He is extremely conscientious, even down to clean up and taking extra preventive measures to eliminate messy dust. The work included installing recessed lighting and dimmers throughout my home, installing an outdoor ceiling fan, installing an electrical receptacle, and installing an upgraded ceiling light in my walk-in closet.

I e-mailed Chris about my problems and he e-mailed back within 12 hours. He was able to come the same day I called for an appointment. He brought another electrician with him (Justin), because of the expected complexity of my problems. They went to work immediately and began to troubleshoot the multiple electrical problems in my home. He even tried to troubleshoot a defective phone connection - that quit functioning while he was there (not his fault at all though). Justin and Chris explained everything as they went - they went throughout the entire house checking outlets, switches and circuits - making sure that everything was to my satisfaction before they left. They were very professional and had the electrical system working without complications when they left 3 hours later! This house had a series of electrical issues that were supposedly corrected when we bought this house two years ago - obviously they were not fixed properly-they are now!! Hard-working and professional!
Description of Work: Chris replaced multiple switches, wall plates, GFCIs, replaced a malfunctioning dimmer switch, installed a new dimmer switch, performed troubleshooting on a variety of house-wide electrical problems and installed a surge protector on the circuit breaker box

The job went very well. Chris Groves was at my house within two hours of my first call. This time was my choice; I met him at the house during my lunch break. He gave me an estimate for both jobs and installed the surge protector. He installed the outdoor outlet before I got home from work the next day. He and his crew were courteous and professional. Did a good job of cleaning up after themselves in the backyard. I used the coupon posted on his Angie's List site and got 10% off the bill since this was my first job with him.
Description of Work: I had a "whole house" surge protector installed. This is a good idea in Tampa-the lightening capital of Florida. And, I had a four socket outdoor electrical outlet installed in the backyard.
