Description of Work: Had recent power surge from storm and many bulbs had burned out over a period of days. Gave my home a thorough check up and found a major unrelated issue with an outdoor outlet that was very dangerous. Great service, great guy. Would use again easily.

I wouldn't use this company again. If he's to busy to provide an estimate I seriously worry that he'll be to busy to provide acceptable work on the jobs we asked him to do. I'm looking for an electrician who is responsive and cares enough to follow through on his promises.
Description of Work: LocoElectro was contacted on June 5 and came to the house on the 6th. He promised an estimate that weekend. After 12 days we just get excuses about how busy he is and can't get to our estimate. He's promised 3 times and we never got one.

Response from locoelectro Inc
Dear Customers: In response to [member name removed] review, while I admit being overly late with the estimate, I would like to clarify a few points. During the meeting to look at the work, I asked for an email address so I could get the estimate to the homeowner faster, this information was not provided, so I had to use regular mail which added time. The customer states that I promised 3 times to send the bid, I told them during the original meeting that I was behind and it would be several days, [member name removed] stated that this was OK. She called me about a week or so later on a Friday asking about the bid, I stated that I was still behind but would finish the bid over the weekend and send it out Monday. I finished it on Sunday and mailed it on Monday, I assume since it was local mail that they recieved it on Tuesday. Basically, I feel that I kept my word on the time frame of delivery. I run a very small business. I have an apprentice that helps with the physical installs, but mainly I do most of the installs or repairs myself. I also do all bidding, ordering, buying and obtaining all necessary permits. I normally work a 60hr plus week. While my main objective is of course, customer satisfaction. This would be confirmed by the "Super Service Awards" I have been nominated for and won. I feel that the customer in this case is being overly harsh. I would grade myself in this situation at a C- not an F. I delivered on everything I said I would, just not quick enough for this customer. I take great pride in my work and my reputation, the other reviews and comments show this, the fact that customers come back to me time and time again over the years shows this, the fact that I have great relationships with all the local inspectors shows this. While I am deeply sorry for the customer not being happy in this case, I feel there was nothing else I could do. There is only so many hours in a day and I am only one man. I will make an effort in the future to explain this in more detail to all potential customers so that there is no more misunderstandings. Thank you all for the oportunity to respond to this review .

Very easy to communicate with. Gave a prompt estimate and good advice. He arrived on time and cleaned up nicely. Price seemed reasonable for the amount of work done. Hard to assess the quality of electrical work but everything is working well. I definitely recommend Locoelectric.

He reset two switches and replaced a damaged switch on the box.
Description of Work: I called from Oregon about property owned in Illinois. Jeff Foutch, owner, gave an estimate (after visiting the house) based on time and parts. He came promptly and set a time to do the work. The work was done on time. He could have given an inflated price since I am not on the premises but he did not. I would definitely use him again. I chose him because of his good rating on Angie's List and I believe he lived up to the ratings.

We had just put our house up for sale. The first week the house was for sale we noticed when we would turn the yard light on it would trip the circuit breaker. We called Locoelectro to come to the house to provide an estimate. He (Jeff) arrived promptly. He worked quickly to determine the problem and provided various options to address the problem. We elected to have him run a new wire from the crawl space to the yard light. Jeff returned the following week (at our request) to make the repairs. He was prompt, courteous and very efficient. We would definitely use their services in the future.

Not enough good can be said about the work. He's prompt, accurate and charges a fee that actually makes me feel a little guilty when considering the quality service provided. He takes pride in his work and cares about the customer.

Jeff responded quickly to my initial call about an estimate; then got back to me right away with a total for the job. Once I decided on a date to do the work, he showed up right on time, w/an assistant, & the job was quickly completed - to my total satisfaction. He does great work, @ a fair price...what more could you ask?
Description of Work: He wired my backyard shed for electricity, installing an overhead fan w/light kit....a 4' workbench light...an outlet over the work area, and an on/off switch near the entrance.

Jeff was very professional and great at communication. He always took time to communicate what was going to be happening with the project at the start and the end of the day. He would generally communicate when they would be there the next time, when they were going for lunch breaks, etc. He was willing to take time to answer any questions and explain what was happening. They always came when they said they would. They worked very professionally. He explained what would be happening with the electrical inspection, etc. We had an issue when switching from the old to new circuits that we discovered after he left for the day. (This can happen in a house with this old of a house and wiring). Jeff came out as soon as he could do resolve the problem. For someone who wants this big of a job done on a historic house in a short time the scheduling might be a challenge. However, we knew going into it that on this big of a job, Jeff primarily works on the weekends so this was not a problem for us. Locoelectro has a good reputation among home owners in the historical area. This is another reason we chose to go with this company. Jeff with Locoelectro was extremely reliable and great at communication which is extremely important when you have people working on your house.
Description of Work: Locoelectro ran new circuits to the upstairs bedrooms and downstairs and upstairs hallways. They replaced knob and tube wiring in the attic and in the walls (where it was accessible in a frame wall). They fixed an issue we were having with the hall lights. They reinstalled and/or replaced all fixtures and electrical boxes in bedrooms, hallways, and closets. They added a hall wall sconce fixture, two electrical outlets, and a light switch for the closet in one of the bedrooms. The house is an 1860's era two story house with lots of knob and tube that had been added onto over the years. Additionally, many of the walls are solid brick and not frame making wiring not so accessible. This was not as straight forward as new construction.

The service was great. Quick, and they cleaned up after. He first came and looked things over and talked me out of some things I thought needed to be done. He explained why they didn't have to be changed and why they really were safe. Then he sent a bid for the dryer and living room plugs which seemed fair and explained the hourly rate that would be needed to investigate and fix the broken GFI's. Two GFI's were wired wrong and fixed and replaced in less than a half-hour. Where they had to cut holes in the walls, they were careful and made it neat. He works Saturdays and some evenings so it's convenient for M-F workers. I am very happy and pleased and will definitely have him back for the next project.
Description of Work: Mr. Foutch and helper put in a new dryer plug and line and ran a new electrical line to the living room for the television and electronics. He also fixed several GFI plugs that weren't working.

Jeff arrived on time for both appointments and was careful not to make a big mess while working. He took the time to explain what he was doing and was very knowledgeable. He was also careful to approach the problem incrementally rather than tearing out what was installed and redoing the work. Overall a very positive experience. I will definitely call him back if I need electrical services.
Description of Work: I asked Jeff to come in and track down the problem causing one circuit in our basement to trip. He initially thought the problem resulted from an overload caused by a refrigerator whose compressor was running a bit hot. To verify this we decided to leave everything else off the circuit except for the refrigerator and wait for it to trip again and then reset the breaker without the refrigerator running to verify the cause. The circuit tripped as expected but it also tripped in the second test. Jeff came back and started the task of looking at each junction to find the culprit. He found it withing 30 minutes and it turned out to be a GFI duplex outside by the pool.

Becasue the house is 50 plus years old, there were issues with the original installation and the new fixtures. He was able to adapt with minimum effort. Have used Locoelectro several times in the past three years at two homes; excellent response and service.

The price included the service call and the one-hour that he was there. He didn't have to do any major changes. I was very pleased with him. He was on time and he was in communication with me prior. He was very efficient at what he did.
Description of Work: I used Locoelectro because I was having a problem with a tripping circuit breaker. He was able to diagnose the problem, as being something that we had plugged in that was not functioning correctly so it kept tripping the circuit breaker.

I chose LocoElectro based on previous Angie's List postings. I called Jeff for a work estimate and he was able to come out within a couple of days. Jeff's estimate was very reasonable and we scheduled a time to get the work done. He actually called me to offer an earlier appointment time when he had another job that finished early. I appreciated his consideration allowing me an opportunity to move things ahead of schedule. Jeff came out with an assistant and they finished the work quickly and without incident. Because the work was done in a shorter amount of time than he had anticipated, he made an adjustment in the amount billed for time on the job. I think very few people would have done this and it speaks volumes about his integrity. They left the work space clean. I was able to install a ceiling fan on my own. I've had no problems or issues with the work done. Ceiling fan works fine and is properly secured. Jeff and his assistant were friendly, professional and did great work. I would highly recommend LocoElectro to anyone and will certainly call again if I need any electrical work done in the future.
Description of Work: I needed electrical wiring run and a fan box installed in an upstairs bedroom with no ceiling fixture. The room did have an existing light switch connected to a wall outlet. Attic access was in the same room.

This work has been done in phases since the house is occupied, the phases have been spread out starting in June 2009. The owner, Jeff, was great to work with, he understood my need to tackle the rewiring in phases and worked with me to split up the work into logical phases. His ability to work on Saturdays and late afternoons made it possible for me to be there in case of questions and just for peace of mind. The crew worked flat-out from the time they arrived until they left and were respectful of working around my cats. My only concern was during the first major phase it didn't seem they were prepared to cover furniture, floors etc. even though we discussed that in advance and the work could have been a bit more tidy (fingerprints on ceilings and walls). But during the second major phase the work was much more tidy and they cleaned up the plaster dust, etc. more than I expected. I have recommended this electrician to my friends and plan on having them continue work on the rewiring as time allows.
Description of Work: Ongoing effort to rewire old home that has a mix of wiring, including knob and tube. The service to the house was moved to a better location and upgraded to 200 amp service/panel. Replaced old wiring and installed new ceiling fixtures, fans, and outlets in multiple rooms. New wiring run for new A/C and furnace.

They came and completely rewired our three story house. It was a pretty big job and the local newspaper featured our house because it was such a good job. He was always on time and was very professional. He knew what he was doing. There was no surprises and told us everything that he was going to do. And the price was reasonable.
