We lost power to a few circuits in our Chicago Bungalow on a Saturday morning while running the dishwasher and laundry appliances. After finding out that it wasn't simply a tripped breaker or GFCI, we called Jeff and he was able to come out within an hour on a Sat. morning which I thought was great. He professionally answered my questions, listened to the symptoms, and was able to trouble shoot the problem under a half an hour. After listening to the symptoms, he took off the cover to the circuit panel and tested the power on the circuits and the main lines. He found that one of the main lines didn't have power. We then went outside and he pointed out that the drop lines coming into the house were not properly connected to the utility lines in the alley. It seems either the electrician who upgraded our electric panel a few years back did not notify Comed or Comed didn't come out to properly connect the power lines. He recommended I call Comed which I did (by the way, Comed came out the same day and fixed the problem). I thought the $50 was very reasonable considering the last minute, weekend request. Will definitely call Jeff again for future electrical work, especially since he's in the next neighborhood over, Elmwood Park.
Description of Work: Jeff came out to trouble shoot a few circuits that lost power.

aJeff was very communicative about some car trouble he was having that was going to make him late. He showed up and the revised appointment time and worked for a little past the allotted two hours to finish my job. He also asked for an additional $25 for supplies and time overage which I happily paid - it was only fair. He seemed very knowlegable and professional and I would certainly use him again if the opportunity arises.
Description of Work: Jeff installed a second double floodlight on my garage where none had existed before. He also switched electrical boxes for the existing fixture.

Although it wasn't the type of electrical job he usually does, Jeff replaced the fan in our attic and did a very good job.

This is the second time we've had Jeff help us out with our electrical. The first time he installed a chandelier, and this time he replaced a number of our light switches with dimmers. Jeff is great at what he does: fast, neat, courteous (with a dry sense of humor, no extra charge.) We will definitely be calling Jeff again.
Description of Work: Jeff installed five dimmers throughout our apartment.

Jeff had the flu when I contacted him so unfortunately it was difficult to connect in the beginning. However, once Jeff came by our home, he was so honest about our "electrical outlet problem." It turned out that all we needed to do was reset the fuse box. He even offered to waive this visit and hold the $30 coupon for an issue in the future. I told him not to worry about that. But I would definitely use his services in the future simply because he was kind and honest.

Jeff was prompt, thorough and attentive to what we needed. He worked quickly and didn't over charge us at all. He was pleasant to speak with and we even used him for a follow up need that came up a few weeks down the road. Thanks Jeff.
Description of Work: We purchased 2 hrs of Jeff's time to take a look at a few quick electrical needs that we had. Jeff installed a new dryer plug, helped with a few wiring issues mentioned in our inspection report (we just moved into a new home) and fixed a few outdoor plugs that no longer were functioning.

Jeff came same day! Was professional. Did the best he could in the situation that presented itself (not ideal outdoor positioning) and taught me how to install a timer switch so that it could be installed after he left. Relaxed, patient, honest and decent guy. Will look to him for electrical work in the future. In fact, I am emailing him for a quote as we speak.

Jeff returned my phone calls and was flexible with scheduling a time to come to the work. Jeff was courteous and friendly. He worked with us to brainstorm solutions to our problems and we were pleased with his work. Some of the work took a bit longer than I had expected, but his prices were great and he did a nice job. He was experienced and I would recommend him.
Description of Work: Jeff performed an overall electrical inspection, installed a ceiling lamp, tamper-proof outlets throughout the house, a motion sensor and light fixture in our stairwell, a timer for a light in our vestibule, and a new light switch.

Jeff inspected our ceiling fan, and diagnosed the problem in the light socket. He appreciated the quality of the fan, and we agreed that he should try to repair it rather than replace it with the cheaper models currently sold in home repair stores. He attempted to repair the light socket, with our agreement that he would replace the socket if the repair did not work. After a few days, the light stopped working again, so he returned and replaced the socket. It's been working great ever since! While it was difficult to schedule with him (due to the strong response to his Angie's List Big Deal), he made time to come by to finish the job just before we listed our house for sale.

Everything went well, but the installer called me the morning of the appointment asking for further details on what needed to be done, even though we had already covered that. There was a fan and light switch that had a different configuration that Jeff said he didn't have any experience with, so that did not get done. It seemed like he had a rough night the night before and was a little slow going when he arrived, but things started to speed up after he got into it. He was a very nice guy and I would consider using him again, but I was not blown away.
Description of Work: Installed fan switch, new outlet, lights, whole-house surge protector and installed a switch and outlet on a furnace.

I contacted him via phone on Feb 21st to schedule the appointment. He had me text him the dates that I could meet. He never called. I text him asking for a refund on Feb 26th if he no longer wanted to honor the coupon. He contacted me back and I gave him 3 more dates. We agreed on March 15th at 2pm. I rushed out of work to get home on time. He no showed, no call. I'm trying to get my money back. I don't want him to do work in my house if he's this unreliable.
