We did not work for this person. He asked us how much it would cost replace his GFCI outlet and we quoted him $190 plus tax. I informed him this was our minimum charge and good for up to 1 hour. I never said that was our cost to just show up at the door. I do not work that way. We are a fully licensed and insured contractor which carries liability, disability, employee health, and workers compensation insurance. Our rates are fair and comparable with other contractors. We have not failed this customer in any way. He asked our cost and we provided it to him and he chose not to use us so why would anyone place a review like this. This review is unjustified

Very professional and efficeint. They did a great job and the fans make no noises as the old fans did. Only miscue was missing first appointment. But upon realizing it the next day they called and rescheduled. They were only installers we could find that could do high ceiling fans. As for price they should hve included cost of renting ladder in original estimate.
Description of Work: Take old ceiling fans down. Install lanai fan and install high ceiling (2 stories) fan.

On the day I selected EYC electric, he called me back within 5 minutes. I didn't know how to explained what I needed and he offered to come and do an assessment that same day at 5:30 pm (traffic time!!) It was so helpful. He was knowledgeable and explained everything and what water heater I needed in layman's term. He also offered to install the water heater so I don't have to hire a plumber to do it. We had to rescheduled 2 times because I was waiting for the water heater to be delivered. He had no problem rescheduling. On the day of the work, they were on time and finished the job in one day. That included updating all the wiring in the electrical panel, setting up and installing the water heater. Took them almost 7 hours but I knew it would be time consuming. In the end, we are very happy and would hire them again. It was a pleasant experience for our family.

Again another person I have no record of. No contract, No estimate, and no appointment on my calendar. I dillegently searched my records for this name to ensure that we did not make a mistake. I also do not service Hauula. This is outside my service area. Angies list should require proof before allowing a review.

I never worked for this person nor did I ever speak to this person. They say we completed a $300.00 job but we have no contract or knowledge or corrospondence from this person. I beleive someone is intentionally trying to make us look bad. Why does Angies List allow a person to review someone that they never spoke to. This makes no sense to me.

Hi so I never received a message from this person nor did have any communication with them. I really do wish Angie's list would stop allowing people to review contractors whom they have never spoken too. This is very unfair for us since it could be a competitor trying to make us have a bad review. Please check us out on Home Adviser. We are a top rated contractors with over 100 5 star reviews and we communicate well with all our customers.

The $75.00 was for replacing light fixtures. Ceiling fan replacements are more difficult so we charge $150.00 per fan. e apologize for any confusion.

At the end of Dec. 2017, using Angie’s List, I contacted EYC Electric in Honolulu to fix outlets in our mother’s kitchen. She is in her 90s, lives on her own in a 70+ year-old house. My two brothers and I live on the mainland and alternate visits. While taking care of the outlets, Mr. C from EYC discovered that the house was still using obsolete (and hazardous) knobs and tubes wiring, which none of us had been aware of. EYC’s estimated cost for a total rewiring was $47,925, to be paid in five installments, which we agreed to and paid a deposit of $11,981.25. The building permit was obtained on 12/27, which led to signing a contract with EYC on Jan. 1, 2018. As stated in the contract the company would: “Install new electrical wiring in the home including new circuit breaker panel, install new light fixtures (style to be chosen by the customer), install new 'switches and outlets, replace existing HECO utility service, demolish existing knob and tube wiring.” The project was scheduled to begin on 1/15/2018 and finish up by 2/14/2018. One of my brothers arrived in HNL on 1/14 with the intention of remaining for the duration of the project. EYC workers began the work on 1/15; and we made a second payment of $11,981.25. The work continued, and on 1/31, we made the third payment of $4,792.50. On 2/2/2018, my brother had to return to the mainland, so I arrived that same day to be there with our mom. ~ Of major importance to our family was that our mom did not have to leave her home for any period during the work. They completed one room at a time, working from the crawl space and the attic. The head electrician, R., was highly skilled, obviously highly experienced, but also always considerate of our mom. He went out of his way to keep the work minimally intrusive. He had an assistant for a portion of the time, but I believe he did at least 80% of the work, probably more. On 2/8, we sent the major payment of $16,773.75. Our mother’s house is not huge: two modest-size bedrooms, 1-1/2 baths, a hallway, kitchen, living room with dining area, a den and extended activity area (sewing, exercise bike), small laundry room, one-car open garage. By 2/15, the original end date for the project, R. worked from 11 a.m. to 8:30 pm, trying to finish the major work. Expecting that the project would end on 2/15, I returned to the mainland on 2/16. On 2/18, Sunday, from Seattle, I texted R. to say that our mom was expecting him on Monday. He replied that he should be able to finish that week. By 2/26, the project was still not complete. We weren’t sure if R was doing outside work on his own or juggling more than one EYC assignment, or both. But when he was at mom’s house he worked hard and diligently. On 3/8, a Thursday, R. did the final prep work for the permanent power hook-up scheduled later that day. The hook-up was successfully completed (with inspection), but several items were still outstanding (e.g., connect doorbell, haul away pile of debris, restore electricity to the tool shed. . .). On 3/9, I returned to HNL. Mr. C at EYC had told me R would stop by on 3/10, Saturday, to take care of these last items. Instead, R was sent to help with an emergency project at a local hotel. The next day, Sunday, I texted Mr. C about the remaining work (including a hole left in the wall where a switch was removed; Mr. C. told me to fill it in with some putty); and he told me that R. would be at the house on Tues., 3/13 to finish up everything. (The exterior of mom’s house was scheduled to be completely repainted, beginning on 3/12 – another reason we wanted to have the rewiring completed.) Later that Sunday, my brother and I were stunned and truly saddened to learn that R. had been in a fatal traffic accident after working at the hotel. Over two months, we had come to respect R’s exceptional skills and work ethic, as well as his warmth and kindness. Of course, we understood that the company needed some time to absorb this great loss. ~ Still, by 3/17, the following weekend, for our mom’s sake, we felt we needed to have everything completed. Not having heard from EYC, I texted Mr. C to find out when someone might be out to wrap up the last tasks. Mr. C replied that he had previously scheduled a two-week vacation and would be out of town until 3/28 and would contact us when he returned. I returned to Seattle on 3/20. Fortunately, my other brother and his wife regularly visit HNL in April. They arrived on 4/3 and contacted EYC. By then I had sent my brother a punch-list of about 10 items, with pictures to show what needed to be taken care of. The work was completed on 4/12, and we mailed the final payment of $2,396. ~

Despite being #2 on Matched Providers, this company has never bothered to contact me! Obviously, they are far too busy to bother to even call me, let alone to give out an estimate for what looks like several thousand of dollars of electrical work. As a Professional Engineer, I highly recommend AGAINST using this company.

Response from Windward Side Electric Kailua
Wow I do not know this person at all. Never spoke to them and never received a phone call from them. How can anyone wright a review on someone without even having contact with them.. Angies List should not even allow this to happen. I am pretty sure this breaches the definition of slander and unless this review is removed I will seek legal action. We build our business on top performance and if any person would like our service and you submit to a lead service company and don’t hear from us it’s because the lead may have been obtained by a competitor or maybe did not reach us or got buried in emails. But we always answer our phones and respond to texts and voicemails. We are only a phone call away so don’t rely on a lead service program. Reach out to us at 808-286-1537. We guarantee satisfaction to all our customers.

Everything went well. They came out and did an estimate. We then set a date, and they came back and installed the outlet. The installers were quick, professional and did a good job. Afterwards the drywall person came to patch the access holes needed to run the wiring. The install is neatly done, very professional.
Description of Work: I needed to have a 220V outlet installed for an air conditioner.

Great. Really appreciated his consideration of the fact I had a family obligation and needed to have it done right away and at a certain time. He came earlier then promised and therefore I could get to my event.
Description of Work: He hung a large chandelier and helped identify some of the sources of electrical problems in my historic home. Great attitude, easy to work with. Would definitely hire him and his partner again.

My family owns a unit and our tenant was having problems with the electrical system. I called three other companies, but EYC Electric was the best company I called. Edward, an electrician of EYC Electric, was assigned to my case. The day of the appointment Edward called me and reported that electrical system and fuse box at our unit was fine and he did not have to fix anything. There is a usual charge of $100+ to do an assessment; however, he waived it for me because he did not actually have to do any labor to the unit. Furthermore, Chris, who made the appointment for me with Edward was super helpful and friendly on the phone. Thank you EYC Electric for your wonderful service :)!!!! I will definitely use your service in the future.
