They did everything I needed and even repaired some issues from another company. I had them upgrade the switch for an electric dryer and repair wiring for an AC unit. The technician was very quick and efficient. He did not charge me for parts since he completed the job so quickly. I had no problem scheduling the deal.
Description of Work: I purchased a deal for 2 hours of electrical labor.

Scott was great to deal with.....he took the time to discuss the job scope ahead of time, which allowed him to hit the ground running when he arrived at my home. I also appreciated that, since there was some time left after repairing the outlets and switches, he subsequently repaired a loose ceiling fan--saving me the trouble of going up and tearing it apart!! My only caveat--and this is solely a bi-product of Scott's success and reputation--he tends to get booked heavily, so factor in some lead time when scheduling a date.....which he's very upfront about when you speak with him.

Good communication from the start. Scott arrived early and called to make sure that would be OK. He corrected a shoddy electrical setup near the sump pit and put the outlet on its own breaker. While working, Scott pointed out an unsafe connection that he was able to correct separate from the original task. Scott also switched out a dimmer switch for me and it was all done in 2 hours that I used the big deal for. Minor charge for some parts and overall Scott is a nice guy that knows his stuff. Would recommend his services.

Scott was at my house twice. On his first visit he could not complete the job because of an emergency. It was 2 weeks later before he could return. Because I was not home for the second visit, a friend let him in. He was insulting about being paid saying he would charge for a half hour of his time to come pick up the check. (Mind you, his initial payment was made...approximately $375.00). My friend left him a check for $210.00, taking his estimate for the time required to complete the project. I found his demeanor offensive and unprofessional. I will allow that the work he completed was completed satisfactorily, but his social skills were indeed lacking.

He arrived on time and had the requisite materials for the job. He was responsive, appropriate, and professional. He demonstrated competence and understanding of his craft by virtue of his ability to complete the fixes in a timely manner. The living room light fixture was sort of tricky, and appeared to be more than one-person job.

My first experience with Angie's list, I purchased a coupon from Stockwell for 2 hours of electric service for $95. The coupon specifically stated that they would hang a light fixture. I gave him dates and details - a 6 light chandelier that was 50-60 lbs. He stated that he could not handle such a fixture b/c of shoulder surgery -why would you place such a coupon? Then he referred me to someone else with a "good luck". Of course the other guy would do the job for 3x the price - classic. BTW the other guy didn't want to do it even at $300-said he would put me on the schedule and never even called back. Did I mention the wiring on box and fixture are all new - a simple installation. finally he never refunded the coupon I bought for $95 was a total scam

Stockwell Electric Have you made sure that the direction flow button on the motor housing is not in the middle. If it is, the fan motor Thank you. Your recommendation proved to be accurate. My wife had went up to clean the fan and blades earlier and inadvertently "flipped" the button. The fan now works properly. Thank you again for your suggestion that fixed the problem. I will also acknowledge your help on Angie's List and most certainly keep you in mind for future electrical work.
Description of Work: Recommended "fix" for ceiling fan problem. We thought the fan motor stopped working and were requesting an installation of a new fan. Scott recommending checking a switch first. We did and that fixed the problem

Scott from Stockwell Electric was on time and went the extra yard of coming out on a Saturday before Super Bowl weekend so we could have power during the Super Bowl. He had all of the extra electrical parts needed on him which prevent a time wasting trip to Home Depot and he was very reasonable and worked with me on a plan that worked. Very experienced electrician.
Description of Work: Tracked down a short that was causing 1/2 of the house to lose power intermittently, it was an arching connection that was dangerous. Opened up boxes and corrected splices where needed, re-distributed my GFCI boxes in my kitchen properly, re-hanging of 2 ceiling fans that were improperly installed, stripped out some old BX connectors and fixed the connections, installed a new 15 amp circuit breaker for my overhead light. This is a very old house with very tricky wiring.

That was a fine experience. He did do good work for us and the service was fine. We hired him to fix the light in the kitchen. We thought that there was a circuit issue as the switch wasn’t working. The problem ended up being a problem in the dimmer switch. Originally, we had hoped to add some overhead lighting in our downstairs dining area but the kitchen issue came up and we decided to use the deal for that problem instead.

I am so glad we called Scott for the job. He was professional, punctual, and he completed the work above and beyond my expectations and with a lower price that I expected. I had two quotes from other electricians who told me that we would have to patch our ceiling when they were done. This would have added hundreds of dollars on to the work. Scott worked very hard to find a way to hang the lights with no damage to our ceiling. He charged an excellent price, and cleaned up after himself. He was so nice to my little girls and even let them help him with hanging the glass on the chandelier. He's a great guy, and and great electrician. We will only use him in future!
Description of Work: Scott installed two chandeliers and fixed an outlet in our kitchen.
