I can't say enough positive about Tammy & her company. I was on a tight schedule & they performed all the work that exceeded my expectations. The previous homeowner had done electrical work themselves to the garage. It was a mess & a safety hazard. I sleep better at night knowing the electrical is safe.
Description of Work: I had an above ground pool installed. Residential Electric ran a new electrical service from the main breaker box in the house our to my garage, installed the electrical for the pool equipment, & fixed the electrical in my garage.

My experience with Residential Electric ended with an unpleasant surprise. I called the company and asked if I could get a quote on a small project (5' x 7' outdoor sauna) that I was in the process of planning. The owner arrived at my place to gather some additional information, and then gave me a quote with a price that sounded reasonable for the work I was asking to have done, so I agreed for them to do the work. I will start by saying that the technician?s workmanship was great and I am pleased with the finished product. However, it was the 235% spike in the final bill compared to the original quote that I was surprised with. In all fairness, I was expecting a slightly larger bill due to a couple of modifications I agreed to during the wiring, but nothing that would justify such a substantial jump in price. At no time during the duration of the job did I receive any update from the company about the increase in price. This is why I decided to write this review. The technician made two separate trips to complete the job, one during rough framing, and the other during finish work, so there was plenty of time in between for the company to update me of increased costs. I reached out to the company via email two times since I received the final bill, once to get a detailed receipt, and the other to schedule a time for me to come in and discuss why I was never notified of such a dramatic jump in price. If you decide to hire Residential Electric, be prepared for a lack of communication and possibly a surprise bill at the end. After comparing my final bill with the work that was completed, I cannot see how they could have ever done the job for what they quoted me at originally. For the price of materials and the hourly labor rate, the numbers don?t add up. I wanted to include in this review what their response was to why the original quote was so far off, but they never did respond to my second email. Just another example of a lack of communication, which is not the way I like to be treated as a customer.
Description of Work: Wired and installed 3 lights, heater, and electronic control for a 5' x 7' outdoor sauna. Extras included in the wiring were a 50 amp plug, circuit box, and 110 plug with weatherproof box.

Good Morning Mr. Piesher, I am sorry that you feel that there was lack of communication. We did speak with you on several occasions in our office. The original estimate would of been fine but you did change the work we were going to be doing for you 3 times. You also changed the location (completely different address) where you were had it actually installed from the original estimate. Due to the area that you live in, they requested that we not complete that type of install. I see the add ons that you listed on your review, The first time that we met, it was suppose to be a simple install of 50 amp outdoor plug straight to sauna heater, 2 lights, a switch, thermostat, sauna heater. You added an under bench light with a switch for them as well as an outside GFI. I do not see that listed on your extras that you listed. The information listed below was on your invoice that was emailed to you on 2/21/17 Materials 8 space panel $85.00 15 amp breaker $15.00 40 amp breaker $35.00 15a GFCI $25.00 Waterproof box $10.00 50' 14-2 Romex $15.00 30' 6-3 Romex $60.00 RV Plug $55.00 Cantex box $12.00 3 gang masonary box $15.00 Material Cost: $315.00 Labor: 11.5 hours (1 tech) $1,092.50 Total Cost : $1,407.50 - You were only charged $825.00 for all of this work that was completed for you. We discounted the price for you being a new customer and a special we were running for February.

Repairs were great. Fast, clean and very reasonable with the cost. They honored the Angie's list coupon. Estimates for the other work were very fair given the complexity of the jobs. I decided to not do the other work due to some other things that needed attention in greater priority, not because of the quality of the contractor. I will certainly go back to this business for future electrical needs.
Description of Work: Fixed an old outlet that was still on a knob/tube fuse and replaced it with a new outlet wired into the main electrical box. Gave me an estimate on installing ceiling fan and bathroom vent fan.

There were several projects we were considering, so Tammy came out to the house to take a look and give us an estimate. Tammy was very professional and made suggestions as she went through the house. As promised, she sent us an estimate about a week after her visit. We had just moved into the house and weren't able to get back around to deciding on what we wanted done until about a month later. I sent an email, letting the office know what we'd like to do. They informed me that since the estimate was over a month old, Tammy would have to come back out to the house, reinspect, and give us a new estimate. After she came back, the estimate went up 20% (from $125-145 per room to $145-175)! I understand that material/labor costs increase, but 20% seemed a bit excessive within just a few weeks. I just wanted to get the project done, so I sent an email agreeing to the estimate. The office emailed me back, letting me know they were running a few weeks out and promised to email me the next day. I didn't hear anything for a week, so I followed up. They asked if the following week would work and promised to be there at 8am. They called back a few days later, asking if they could come around noon instead. I shifted my schedule around to make it work. The day they were supposed to come, I got a call saying they'd be a couple hours late. The techs that arrived were very nice and professional. However, they finished 2 of the 3 rooms, and told me they had to quit for the day (at 3:45pm) and someone would call to see when they could come back to finish the job. The office called and said they could come out 2 days later. Tammy called to apologize saying they had gotten caught up on another job that morning. However, I now had to take another day off work! The techs arrived when they said they would and installed the last fan. They handed me the invoice, which was made out for the full amount of work if we would have had everything done we originally discussed (more than just the 3 rooms). The techs agreed to call the office and get it straight. The new bill was for the absolute maximum within the ranges given to me. While Tammy and the techs were nice and professional, their office staff seems disorganized and not very professional.

Residential Electric was very easy to work with. They were competent, efficient and we will use them again for another project we are planning.
Description of Work: Residential Electric sent two electricians. They mounted a 50-inch flat screen TV on the wall over our fireplace. They determined the best location for the TV (height, distance from walls and ceiling, etc). They ran wiring from a new outlet they installed behind the TV, up to the attic and down behind the wall to another nearby outlet they installed. They installed the mounting frame and anchored the TV to the frame. They were thorough, careful and precise; they also installed a new outlet for a freezer. The total cost for all the work was less than the bid we received from Best Buy just for the TV installation. Best Buy also charges $100 to come to your house and develop a proposal and estimate. That money is applied to the final bill if you use Best Buy, but forfeited if you go with another company.

I installed a roof mounted antenna and ran the coaxial cable and ground wire to the side of my house where services enter. When I ran into more difficulty than I anticipated for pulling a new cable through my living room wall into the basement, I decided to call in some professionals for this portion of an otherwise DIY project. Since I was calling someone in anyway, I also asked for the portion of cable running from outside the house and into the basement to be pulled. When I contacted Residential Electrical, Inc., the person taking the call was both polite and up front about availability. We scheduled a time and date for the service. Prior to the service date, the owner came out to look over the job to ensure her team came prepared to complete the job. Both visits were scheduled with my wife. We got an advance call when a minor delay caused a visit to begin only a few minutes late. We received the service I needed and are very happy with the results. I was pleased to find a contractor who would take on a small job like this one with this level of professionalism.

We were selling one house and buying another within a few miles of each other. They installed a double-tap in the old house and saved us a lot of money on repairs that they buyer of the old house wanted. There was a miscommunication at the closing, and we needed to get a GFCI put in ASAP. They were able to get it done the next morning. In our new house, they installed a new light fixture and did some other wiring. Great to work with, very attentive, professional, and reasonable. Couldn't recommend more

The estimate took a little longer than promised but Tammy and the folks at Residential are professional and accomodating, especially so since the room they were working in isn't used much for other than storage and therefore was cluttered. They delivered services working around my schedule, set up estimates for future work in a clear understandable manner without any over-charging that I can identify. She also professionally installed an external 220v outlet a few years ago and I would definitely recommend her for this type of work.

We were very pleased with the service provided by Residential Electric. From the initial phone call, Tammy and her staff were responsive, straightforward about costs and their availability, prompt in returning phone calls and emails, and in general, a pleasure to work with. Tammy came to the house to do a walk-through and we had a great conversation about the house and the work needed. Both electricians who worked in the house were fantastic, asking for feedback to make sure the jobs were done right, and they were very respectful of our home, cleaning up the dust and taking the old fixtures away for us. We would definitely hire them again if we needed more work done on our home. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone else needing electrical work in their home or business.
Description of Work: Residential Electric installed many new light fixtures and ceiling fans, repaired a vintage light fixture we purchased at the Old House Society and installed it, installed several outdoor lights, installed new programmable thermostats on two floors, and extended our cable line in the house.
