I was 1000 miles geographically removed from Jeff and LocoElectro. I found him via Angie's list and was never once disappointed in the entire process. This was a time critical process due to an upcoming sale of the property. I called him shortly after 7:00 a.m. on a Friday morning. He answered personally and agreed to visit the property that afternoon to assess the work and committed to supplying me an estimate by early the next week. The estimate for the work required was supplied on SUNDAY(!), with a commitment to execute the work that following Saturday! The estimate seemed reasonable to us and I asked him to proceed. I was able to pay the down payment for the work (~20%) at the time of authorization electronically. Jeff called me on Saturday and informed me the work was completed and the City would inspect on Tuesday. On Tuesday Jeff called to inform me that the City had passed the work and even offered to not collect payment until I had independently verified with the City that the work had passed. I felt no need to do so, made the final payment and subsequently learned that Jeff was nothing but truthful all the way. I was absolutely pleased with Jeff's responsiveness, attentiveness, and business approach to our rather tenuous issue. I would not hesitate one moment to hire Jeff/Loco Electro if I were to have any future needs for an electrical contractor!
Description of Work: Correcting electrical deficiencies identified in the City of Belleville, IL, pre-occupancy permit inspection including a non-functioning bathroom exhaust fan, several GFCI outlets and circuits, a deteriorated weather head (required interfacing with the eletrical utility company), proper (re-)routing of some romex cable in basement, proper light fixture installation in closets, and other miscellaneous items on a very demanding time schedule.

He arrived right on time and all the work was completed in a little more than 1-1/2 hours. He was very professional and did an excellent job. I really appreciated the fact that he responded to my call in a timely manner, especially after I had previously called other companies and they couldn't even be bothered to return my call. And the only other one who did, quoted an outrageously high price, about 4 times as much as I was charged by this company. His charges were very reasonable. I highly recommend this company.

I contacted Jeff from Locoelectro Inc after reading reviews on Angie's list. I needed a wiring repair done to my vaulted ceiling after discovering DIY issues likely completed by the previous homeowner. Jeff was able to identify the issue in the attic and complete the repair in roughly an hour. I was very happy with the service and professionalism provided by Jeff. With Jeff's help in repairing attic/ceiling wiring, I was able to complete my light fixture replacement. Thanks a bunch!

All services were performed without any incidentals. Very satisfied with our services.
Description of Work: We have used LOCOELECTRIC for a number of our projects for over some years. Our projects consist of ceiling fan installs, GCFI switches and recently for our battery back up for a sump pump installed. They were all prompt and professional. We knew what was being charged prior to any jobs. And we have never had any "recalls" after these specific services were completed. We definitely would use them again.

It was a long distance transaction, I am vacationing in one state and the work was needed/completed in another state.. His quote was significantly better than one obtained by my realtor, so I would recommend giving him a chance to bid on any electrical work. He was quick with an itemized quote and completed the work in the timeline he promised.

An urgent repair was needed due to an undetermined incident in the alley behind my house. The power line to my house was yanked from its anchor on the side of the house, causing the line to hang low across my yard and the alley. I texted Mr. Foust on Friday afternoon, and he responded immediately. He was able to schedule the repair for the next morning (a Saturday morning). Just as with the work he has done for me in the past, he knew exactly what to do. He even made arrangements with Ameren Illinois after he completed his work. Even though it was a last minute repair on a Saturday morning, he charged a rate much less than expected. Loco Electro and Mr. Foutch are a model of professionalism, competence, and excellence.

The technician/owner was 30 minutes early. (I know this doesn't sound like a bad thing but if had I not been home sick, he would have had to wait (hopefully wait) until I got home from work.) As I was explaining what work we were needing and showed him where the access panel to attic was located and the breaker box, the look on his face said it all (that he didn't want the job). He then made it a point to tell me how booked he was and that it would take a couple days to get me the estimate. It wasn't 2 hours later that I received an email from him stating. "After going over my schedule and thinking about the challenges of your attic, I have decided not to bid on your project. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause." If I had known that he only takes jobs that are super easy and straight forward, I would have never asked for a bid. I've had 2 other companies come and bid the same job and neither one had an issue with the attic access "issue". I can't attest to the quality of work, but I wouldn't suggest calling this company unless you only need easy work done.
Description of Work: I requested a bid for some electrical work. I needed to have several wires cleaned up from an island area we removed, run wiring for light switched and receptacles in new island posts, hang a new light fixture in the kitchen and utility room, and move a dishwasher receptacle from one side of the sink to the other.

Response from locoelectro Inc
I did arrive early for the meeting as Ms [Member Name Removed] stated. I apologized for this when I arrived, but I was in her town looking at another job and decided to locate her home and wait for her. I can not speak for the other companies, but I try to stay away from attic work in July, it is not only uncomfortable, but can be dangerous.as to my schedule, I an a small company and my schedule gets full very quickly, luckily this does give me some options on what wirk I take. I fully expected it to take a couple of days for me to respond to her bid, but upon getting to my office I had yet more work that had been confirmed and would have been before her anyway. As my other reviews show, I take all kinds of jobs, I pride myself on good customer service and job completion. I sent the email to her as quickly as I did so she could concentrate on the bids of other companies and move forward.while I am sorry she was not happy with me, I realize that things like this happen, however I will continue to provide quality work for an affordable price on all kinds of projects.

Both times he came out he was about 15 minutes early which was great since another electrician had failed to even show up. He finished the job of installing the four outlets and the dehumidifier outlet in less time than he thought it would take. Everything was installed perfectly and he took the time to explain what he had done and why. I highly recommend him.
Description of Work: We had to have an electrical breaker replaced and he did such a good job I asked him to run a separate circuit for four outlets to power my power tools. He suggested an additional separate circuit for a dehumidifier I had just started using since it draws additional amps. I had blown the original breaker so I thought it was a good suggestion and agreed. He submitted a bid that I thought was very reasonable.

Jeff was wonderful. He arrived and was very professional. He finished the outlet install earlier than estimated, clearly labeled our breaker box for the new outlet and left his contact information on a magnet attached to the box. I was impressed with his honesty and integrity because he informed that our 'non-working' outlet just needed the GFI to be reset and showed us that all of our bathrooms were connected to one GFI. We are new the area and I'm glad I chose to hire a local small business to do the work we needed.
