I hired a different electrician who offered a $49 deal. That electrician caused problems with my circuit breaker, causing my hot water heater to not work after they left. That electrician also took shortcuts and used electrical tape to tape a filler plate. Groves Electric came out and inspected the previous electrician's work. Jon immediately recognized the problem and installed a standard breaker in an area the prior electrician had relocated. Jon inserted the wires, tested the breaker and tested my hot water heater. a filler plate was not necessary since Jon installed a standard sized breaker. This is the second time I have used Groves Electric and I wish I hadn't have fell for the other elctrician's $49 "deal."
Description of Work: Fixed issues that were caused by an Angies' List electrician who offered a deal that was too good to be true.

They did a terrific job. When the fan was put up initially, they put the wires on the outside and so he went in the attic and he went and did everything and came back and he put the wire up on the inside and he put a switch on the wall for it. I just think the guy is terrific. His name is Kirby. That's the second time he's done work for us. Everything about him is good.
Description of Work: I used Groves Electric. He re-hung a fan that had fallen down and he re-wired it. He also fixed the light in my kitchen.

Chris the owner of Groves Electric returned my call / text on the 4th of July Holiday weekend and setup a time to have his Electricians arrive that coming Monday. No other Company's called me back until Monday afternoon after Chris's Electricians had already came and went. Excellent response time! Thank you Chris. The 2 installers (Jon B & Jason) were very professional and friendly. They knew exactly what I needed done and had no problems using my new parts I had already bought. I did not have the 2 outside covers for the outlet boxes. Thankfully they had those cover plates in their work Van (Also the price for the covers were very fair) . They did an excellent job and completed the work quickly as stated. Also the cost was exactly what they said it would be upon looking at the job, plus the 2 cover plates.
Description of Work: Wired (2) outside electrical boxes with a total of 4 outlets and one on/off switch.

Groves Electric Company located right here in Tampa was our service provider. No complicated corporate hierarchy to deal with. We called the company because we were impressed with their numerous "Super Service" awards and their location was relatively close to our neighborhood. Initially, we spoke to the owner, Chris and explained what we need. Being new customers, we had several questions which Chris answered quickly and in a very courteous and professional manner. We made an appointment to have one of the company's electricians come out to give us a quote since we needed several jobs done and needed a quote on each one. We received the quote for each job in just a few days; not weeks. The first job was scheduled to be done within a week. Kirby, the electrician, showed up on time as schedule. He too was very personable, courteous and professional. He completed the job in a very timely manner and without stopping for any interruptions such as phone calls, etc. We have additional work to be done at our home and without a doubt, will use Groves Electric to complete the remaining electrical work.

The electrician was professional, courteous, and extremely helpful. He explained what he was expected to accomplish, and did it in a timely manner. We opted for more than just a repair for the bath, and he was very clear about the GAF replacements. He vacuumed the debris, offered to wash the floors!!!! He also helped us with a very complicated dining room fixture ... and recommended appropriate LED bulbs. We cannot say enough good things about this company, and recommend them highly.
Description of Work: Our bathroom outlet was not working. He replaced bathroom outlets with GAF outlets (builder never installed in both upstairs bathrooms), and installed new electric outlet in upper hallway.

It went very well. We met with Jonathan earlier in the month to have several lighting fixtures installed in our home. At that time, we spoke to him about designing and installing landscape lighting in our front yard garden and spot lights for three trees. We made arrangements for Jonathan to return with Eddie to install the lighting on May 26th. They arrived on time, were very courteous, efficient, professional and completed the work expertly. Jonathan, also, helped my husband with installing a new dimmer switch in the kitchen. We highly recommend Grove Electric and will continue hire them for all of our electrical needs.

Everything went well. I got a call back the next day and an appointment the day after that. Several other electrical companies could not give me an appointment for a week. The electrician called ahead and arrived on time. He was very personable and professional and listened to what I had to say. He paid attention to detail but worked quickly and efficiently. Everything looks great and works the way it it supposed to. I will be using this company in future for anything electrical.

From the estimate appointment with Chris Groves to my light fixture installation with Jon and Eddie, Groves Electric was professional, courteous and respectful! Everyone arrived promptly, introduced themselves professionally and provided outstanding quality service at an excellent price. No problems whatsoever with the install. They were generous with their time and assistance. We recommend Groves without hesitation to anyone with electrical needs!

We lost power in a portion of a room. It was a sunday and this is my wife's office, so I needed a Sunday service. I called Groves and explained the situation. I was asked to wait 30 minutes to see if he could find a tech. In 15 minutes, I got a call back and they indeed had a tech who could look at the issue. The tech arrived and I showed him the room. He looked for the first outlet having power and found the issue right away. He replaced the outlet socket and tested the rest. Everything was great and she will be able work tomorrow.

We had blown the 1st floor power and couldn't locate the breaker. It turned out to be a hidden gfi receptacle. I placed the initial call at 9:00 and they were here by 1:00. It took them about 45 minutes to find the problem and was promptly fixed. They guys were terrific - friendly and professional. Great experience. I will definitely use them again.

I have used Groves Electric 13 times since May 5, 2008 to help makes changes to our 1964 home in Old Carrollwood. I believe that I've had most of his electrician come out and do work and they have always done an outstanding job and never disappointed. There has never been a surprise or hidden cost and the workmanship is done in the old fashion, American way - QUALITY WORK WITH PRIDE. I couldn't be more serious when I say this... there are very, very few contractors in the Tampa Bay area that I have worked with (and I have worked with a lot) that don't leave me wishing I had chosen someone else. Chris Grove and his team will not disappoint you and you can rest assured that all work is completed to the highest standard. Further, in the 13 times that Groves Electric has worked in my home, I have never had a surprise (in cost or in the condition in which my home was left). Just about every other job I've had done (e.g., new septic system, 4 panel sliders, multiple landscape jobs, pool equipment install, hardwood floor install, 3 HVAC systems installed (my home has 3 units), etc., etc., etc.). All of them left substantial damage to my home or was installed improperly (causing reduced product life). Chris Groves (and staff) is one of the few good guys. I hope it is evident that I could not be happier with the service provided by Groves Electric.
Description of Work: Rerouted a DC power line for my swimming pool light that crossed over the septic tank access point. Job included additional wire, new casing and various other small pieces.
See above . This company must not be interested in reviews, or insulting new customers
Description of Work: I found groves on Angie's list. Call for an estimate. To their credit, they promptly came, and on time to review the job . This job consisted of running a new line from an existing junction box approx 15 feet, placing 3 outdoor outlets, and installing a fan. Additionally, I have a low voltage landscape lighting system that I wanted the electrician to instal 6 step lights that I would provide.. In reality a half a day/ three quarter of a day job at most. Groves estimate was for almost $7,000!!!! I am getting this same job done by another Angie's list provider for $600.

Response from Groves Electric Inc
This review is inaccurate. The job we quoted does not match the work the member is describing. Our (free) quote included a complete lifetime warrantied landscape lighting system including eight step lights, pathway lights, and uplighting as well as circuitry to two quad outlets near a pool, several GFI breakers, and wiring to a switch and fan, including all parts and required permit. This was spelled out and broken down in the quote presented. It is not possible that the competitor's quote is comparable in scope, as the parts costs alone are thousands of dollars and would require three to four days of labor and coordination with other tradesmen. That being said I wish you the best of luck with your project and hope it is done to the same high standard that Groves Electric would have provided. Thanks for having us out to bid on it.

Took care of everything right away. However I had some issues with pricing. When Chris came over, said we had old light bulbs. He recommended $40/piece LED lights ended up being charged $50/ bulb (27 total). Advised that lights are supposed to last 10 years, Ive had 3 go out in the last year. Chris advised could always go to Home Depot to exchange for no cost which I did. Researched the cost of the light bulb with Home Depot, they advised me that the LED lights never cost above $23.00 per light bulb. Feel that pricing was really high and I was taken advantage of. After researching other member reviews, the average price per recessed lighting can he charged others was approximately $200.00 per can, I was charged $260.00 per can on my receipt. I felt that I was overcharged $2000.00 for this project.

First I would like to thank you for the positive ratings that reflect the quality of the work performed. In regards to pricing, I am very sorry you feel you were overcharged. Our quotes are always given up front with no surprise adders, this sets us apart from our competitors. This was also true in your case and additionally you benefitted from the Angiel's List member discount. We welcome our customers to supply their own light bulbs as technology is constantly changing and our costs fluctuate, especially with LED products in the last few years. We pride ourselves in being fair in our pricing and providing the highest quality electrical service as the vast majority of our reviews show.

This is the second time I have used Groves Electric. Chris Groves is a pleasure to deal with, which is why I didn't bother getting any other estimates. His team is very professional, and they did a great job. I was worried about the mess since they had to cut through my ceiling, but there was absolutely no mess left behind. The two electricians were on time, extremely polite and worked efficiently. The price of the job included 8 LED bulbs. The end result looks great and I would not hesitate to recommend this company.

I have used Groves Electric on a number of occasions and have always been satisfied with their responsiveness and service. I explained the situation with the loss of power to a bank of kitchen lights and my concern that there were unenclosed electrical junctions in the attic. I asked that they examine wires in the attic for any safety and such issues. Jon arrived with another electrician at around 1:30 PM and they checked the kitchen lights and the attic. They indicated that three junction boxes were needed for code and safety considerations and that the bank of lamps that were out needed a loose wire properly secured and tightened. I agreed to their quote for the job which was then completed in about an hour.
Description of Work: Lost power to a bank of lights while a skylight tube was being installed. Installer indicated he did not touch any wires but noticed several electrical wire connections that were exposed. Called Groves electric and they were able to send someone the same day. Attic inspection revealed that a lamp wire was loose and that there were no junction boxes to three separate wire junctions. Groves Electric tightened the loose wire which brought back the bank of lights and enclosed all three exposed junctions in proper junction boxes.

I called on 3/11/15 and was given an appointment right away. The electrician showed up on time and started working right away. Was very courteous and professional. Explained everything in detail. Very quick and cleaned up nice after his work was done. I would use the service again. I have an older home so I could be in the market for other electrical work in the future and I will be calling Groves back when the time comes. Price was very competitive.

Chris was the first electrician to respond to my inquiry (same day - on a Sunday!) and arrived the following morning to provide an estimate. The prices are reasonable and comparable to other providers. He is clear about the prices up front and does not charge a mysterious "service call fee." The electricians from his team arrived on time and completed all of the work as planned, in the time allotted. They were courteous, professional, and friendly. They were also extremely careful in their work (they were completing work on a very high ladder!) and they cleaned up after themselves very well. They went beyond what was asked of them, made helpful suggestions, and were accommodating to my needs. I am extremely pleased with their services, highly recommend them, and will definitely be using them again in the future!
Description of Work: The provider installed two ceiling fans, moved a light switch, installed an exterior motion detector light, installed an entryway light (high ceiling), and installed a ceiling fan in a very high ceiling (~20 feet).

Responded within hours to main power line coming loose from the house and posing a danger. They moved the attach point from the fascia board that was too low to the roof line and hindered cleaning of the gutters and put in a new mast, weather head, feeder wires and other bits and pieces. It was a pretty large job that they estimated at least 4 hours. Jon and Jason did it quicker than that and restored power in about 3 hours. Very professional. Highly recommend Grove electrical.

Very prompt response time, workers were professional. I purchased a new stove and when I pulled it out from the wall to check if it had a three or four prong plug, and it was hard wired to the wall! Groves Electric came out, diagnosed the problem, gave me a price and got it done. Can't ask for anything more.
