I had a fabulous time with Wilson Electrical. Our small office was installing a tankless hot water heater and needed the electricity rerouted in our basement. Wade visited our office to give us an estimate and was friendly and professional. He even helped change one of our fluorescent lights that had gone out. Because we needed both a plumber and an electrician to finish our job I asked Wade to complete the project within a very specific time frame (so as to minimize our time without hot water.) Wade was more than accomadating- rearranging his schedule to make sure our project was completed. He finished the project and followed up the next week to make sure everything was working properly. I highly recommend Wade for any of your electrical needs- he was truly a pleasure to work with.

Everything went as planned. The project actually finished a little early. It was a 2 day event, but with a lot of work.
Description of Work: Wilson Electric installed an electric conduit from the panel in the middle of my unit to the detached garage behind the building. This was done to support the use of an all electric vehicle. He sub-contracted part of the project where the conduit went under an existing concrete sidewalk.

The light fixture in a closet had stopped working. A contractor we had asked to replace it noted that it was connected via bare wires to a junction box that was entirely enclosed within the wall. The contractor advised that we needed an electrician to make the repairs, so I called Wade, whom we had used before. He inspected the fixture and the junction box and advised on a solution: enclosing the wiring, installing a new light fixture with enclosed bulb as required by city electrical code, and replacing the old paneling that enclosed the junction box with new wallboard with an access panel. He did all the appropriate electrical work quickly and efficiently and recommended a carpenter who could install the new wallboard; he then took a picture of the area that needed repair and sent it to the carpenter. He remembered having been here last time and even had access to the notes he had taken on some other work that we might want done. Wade seems very knowledgable and professional, and his price was so reasonable I hesitated to ask for the senior discount.
Description of Work: Replaced a nonfunctioning light fixture in a closet with a working, properly wired, code-conforming light fixture, advised on a problem with a "buried" junction box in the closet.

I called just before noon. Explained that I had a problem with a breaker that was unfortunately servicing my furnace, and was looking for service as soon as possible. Wade returned my call just after 1:00. Fortunately he was ahead of schedule and stop by my house just before 2:00. Very professional. I asked a hundred questions and he was nice enough to explain as he was working. Couldn't be happier. I would highly recommend.

All the work was completed quickly, which was particularly important to us as we were selling our house. Wade and his colleagues were professional and informative. Wade also provided an estimate for repairs on items that came up during our home inspection. Great customer service. Highly recommend!!

From start to finish, Wade Wilson was a good, solid, professional electrician. He and his assistant came when they said they would, and even though we had to add a couple of additional details to the job, they were unfazed. They finished ahead of schedule and cleaned up well enough that we hardly knew they'd been there.My only downgrade was for leaving a cutout of wallboard unsupported and unattached. I had to do the patching necessary for the closet installers in two days. Barely enough time for all the extra spackling, sanding and painting. They could have done a better job letting us know what would be involved in that. Otherwise, our closet installation could have been thrown off schedule.Other than that issue, I have no reservation at all in recommending Wilson Electric for your electrical needs.
Description of Work: installed new electrical outlets for custom-made closets. Fished line from existing outlet to new outlet. installed additional outlets for bedside tables.

Wade was very professional and provided great service. He was able to come fix our problem on short notice. We had blown a circuit because of a faulty dimmer. Wade found the problem quickly and explained why the problem existed in the first place. We're very happy with the service and would definitely call him again if we had any issues.

Easy to set up appointment, on time, calls, A+ I thought my florescent light fixture was broken and that a part would need to be replaced. Wayne quoted $140 to replace fixture. He tested the light fixture, and the problem was that I did not put the light bulb in correctly. He then tested the other parts of the fixture, and the bulbs were just bad. I then asked him if he could give me a quote while here to replace/rewire the light sockets. I never received the quote. Wayne was here about 17 minutes. He reduced the price he quoted of $140 to fix replace the fixture to $89 since he didn't repair anything. I then reminded him of the Angies List coupon, so it was $79.

I emailed Wilson Electrical at 9 pm and was astonished when I received a reply three minutes later, offering to come out the next day to assess my problem. I had used a space heater in a room, it blew out the outlet, and the whole room was without power. Wade was right on time and very personable. He checked the wiring, which was a bit loosely connected on the outlet but intact. He quickly replaced the outlet. The whole thing was done in minutes, and he only charged me $70. I couldn't be more pleased with the service and professionalism.
