I had our electricity go out as a result of using an electric space heater in an older home we just moved into. I had replaced the round small fuses, but it didn't solve the problem. Bill responded and was there the morning I called and was able to solve the issue. He was polite, thorough and extremely helpful. He explained everything in detail and told me just to call him next time and he could walk me through the process without the need for a service call. I would recommend him and will use him in the future.
Description of Work: Replaced a fuse that had burnt out but was not visibly blown.

It was fine and he showed up when he was supposed to but the price is a little bit high. The scheduling was not a problem. He came out one day too check the situation and then came back 2 to 3 days to do the work.

Bill and Brian were contracted for a continuing project remodeling a kitchen. They started rerouting lighting, counter outlets, stove connection, and refrigerator cabling while the walls were open, and when the cabinets were in, returned to finish and ensure that all circuits were working.

I found Barbee Electric Company on Angie's List. I could not be more pleased with the service. Bill Barbee promptly answered his cell phone personally the first time I called him (and every time I called him thereafter). I told him that my house was "under contract' and had been inspected and I had a checklist of items to be dealt with. This list included: resolving a double lugged breaker issue, installing 3 GFCI receptacles, and installing junction box covers in the attic and on the water heater. All of this needed to be clearly documented for the new owners. Mr. Barbee came out in advance to look at the breaker issue one day (spent over an hour) to decide what items he needed to do the job. Then, he and Bryan, his assistant, came out on 1/25/2013 and addressed and resolved every issue. Mr. Barbee did not charge me for that advance visit at all, but he did charge me for travel time for the day of service. He and Bryan had to go to Home Depot to purchase the 22 cover platems also on 1/25. I was charged $82.50 per hour for 5.5 hours which came to $453.75 and $114.50 for supplies. Mr. Barbee clearly explained all of the charges in advance. He seems as honest as the day is long. He is certainly very conscientious and hard-working. You can tell that he loves what he does and takes great pride in it. His assistant Bryan was very professional also. They were a delight to have working in my home. I highly recommend Barbee Electric.

Barbee did not show up - the exact problem I was trying to avoid.
Description of Work: I joined Angie's list for the purpose of finding a good electrician. It appeared that Barbee's was that Electrician. I called over six weeks ago and asked that he come by my house and give me an estimate for some electrical work - hanging two chandeliers; fixing an outlet; etc. He assured me that he was at Skidaway a lot and that he would call me and set up a time. I have never heard from him.

Response from Barbee Electric Co
I remember the call very well. As stated, I am in this very large gated community (Skidaway Island) several days a week. A couple of days after Member's call I was on the island and stopped by her house. We rang the door bell several times and knocked. There was no response. I left a business card securely stuck in the weather stripping of the front door. I never heard back from Member.

I keep looking for reasons to bring Mr. Barbee back, and appreciate his skill, creativity, and work ethic every time I turn on one of the switches he installed, the light and fan he installed, and each time our garage light comes on automatically making it safer and easier to get around then ever. Fast, high quality work, very fair pricing, and world-class customer service make me want to stand at an intersection and hand out Mr. Barbee's cards.

We agreed to meet the following day to review the work. The next day he was no call and no show. He finally called the following day to give regrets and stated he'd get back to me soon to schedule the work. A week later I'd still not heard from him, so I called him. He said he'd been busy but he hadn't forgotten me. He'd call very soon to schedule the work. Here I am, 12 days later. He's never called back, and I found someone else to do the work. He may have helped others, but he was useless to me. Never again.

Overall, very pleased with service provided. Made three trips and each time arrived as scheduled. Although work sounds relatively easy as described, sure glad it wasn't me crawling around under neath the house. Provided two hours of work for two men at $82.50 per hour for both, total of $180 to correct the problem including all parts and labor. Service provider did not charge anything for second trip since due to circumstances beyond their control, he could not further investigate and correct the problem, i.e. they made service call and did not charge. I felt price was very reasonable. I would not hesitate to recommend this company; in fact have already mentioned their name to some friends and neighbors.
Description of Work: Some electrical outlets were not working all the time (sometimes they were) although other outlets on the same circuit were working fine. Electricians had to trace the problem from breaker box to different outlets and circuit boxes along this line to identify where the problem was located. Eventually by process of elimination, determined it was in crawl space under the house. Since they did not have Tyvek suit to enter crawl space, made appointment to return next day but when they returned, service was working in outlets that were formerly out. Testing of service could not occur until the outlets were not working so they asked that I call them when service was once again out. Service went out a few days later and they returned to find and correct problem in junction box beneath the house.

They responded quickly to our phone call, and came right on time! Quick, professional and educational as well!
Description of Work: They came in to trouble shoot our lighting and electrical work done by another local company that never worked correctly. We had four switches in the kitchen that were all sort of out of wack! Brian was great - professional, explained all that he was doing since my husband likes to do home improvement projects, and quickly solved and fixed all our issues. We will 100% use them again if the need rises!

I called after reading a review on Angie's List and Mr. Barbee arranged to come check out the work the same day. Mr. Barbee and his associate, Brian, did a very professional job installing the new outdoor outlet. They were successful troubleshooting the problems with the three other circuits - two other electrical firms tried and could not solve these problems on previous visits - when needed, they ordered two new outdoor floodlights, called when they came in and made a return visit to install the new units. These guys are true professionals and they will do all of my future electrical work.

We had new equipment that needed electrical lines run. Mr Barbee was able to do the work in one day and was very professional. He advised us on two other jobs that would have been costly and not what we would have wanted. This saved us a good deal of money that I feel others would have done to increase their profits. We greatly appreciated his honesty.

Bill Barbie is invested in his customers being satisfied. I'm tempted to say that he under promises and over delivers, but what's more accurate is that Bill Barbie and Brian, Bill's assistant, don't commit to a task until they're sure it can be done and done right. Once they take a project on they have talked enough to me to know what I'm after, figured out a way to do it, know the parts they will need, and the steps it will take. Then they do exactly what they say. I felt like we received a great deal of quality professional work for the money charged, and love the feeling of security and happiness that Bill Barbie brought us by bringing light where there was darkness.

They were fine and things went good with them. My experience with them was very positive. They were very professional. They didn?t have the part that they needed originally, but they just took the time right then and there to run back to their office and come back. I appreciated that rather than rescheduling the whole thing.
Description of Work: I had used the Barbee Electtic Co about a week ago. Our house was hit by lighting and one of the circuit breakers was not flipping back to the original position. So they had to find out why that was happening and in the process they had to replace several outlets. They eventually replaced the circuit breaker itself.

This sounds simple, but it involved crawling around in the attic insulation just under the roof, and experimenting a bit to figure out where they could tie in with existing electrical lines. Originally I had asked Mr. Barbee to add some switches in both ends of the room, but they discovered because of limited space in the walls where there were pocket doors, we had to pair certain things, which worked out fine in the end. I am still able to turn the things I want to turn off and on at the correct end of the room.These were lights that were shipped from a long way away, and they were very careful with them. They involved me in any choices that needed to be made along the way re: spacing, positioning, ease of use, etc. Mr. Barbee is one of the few electricians I spoke with who was not willing to give price estimates over the phone, but he did underestimate the time the job would take by several hours once he was here. When it came time to bill me however, he only billed me for the hourly rate of his time estimate plus half of the extra time it took, and he did give the Angie's List 10% of coupon. I was puzzled though, that the hours counted the one for lunch, so the price felt decent, neither cheap nor over the top. Both guys were friendly, amiable people, and although it was a longer day than any of us had anticipated, it went very well and the room looks just the way I'd hoped it would. We also had planned to schedule putting in the electrical connection for a new heater for our exercise pool, but Mr. Barbee called back a few days later having found that the parts would have to be ordered AND would be prohibitively expensive for such a small pool, so we mutually agreed to call that off. I appreciated the heads up. P.S. the punctuality B is only because they were less than 1/2 hour late, but called to explain why and where they were. I would highly recommend them for their good work and attitudes and will definitely call them again in the future.
Description of Work: They installed 3 drop lights into our kitchen over the bar, and a chandelier over the table.
