I took advantage of a new member special for two hours of electrical work. I had a variety of small but annoying electrical problems to fix such as some light fixtures in inaccessible ceiling areas that were intermittent. He made repairs as needed. He also changed some ungrounded outlets to grounded 3-prong outlets. He also told me I did not need expensive whole house rewiring and other electrical repairs recommended by another repairman. Overall I was very happy with their professionalism and promptness. Great friendly folks.

I was at first not happy with the work and they were not so great about handling that. They in the end did get the situation resolved. The service involved them installing a motion detector light and they purchased the product and installed it. The product after the installation worked intermittently and I mentioned to them that they needed to install something better and so I went to get a better one to replace what they had put in. He did acknowledge my concern finally and they did refund part of the Big Deal for the additional purchase that I had made. They did not seem focused on customer satisfaction and I would not use them again.
Description of Work: This was a Big Deal for $99.00 for a motion sensing security light including labor and materials.

We actually had planned on installing a ceiling fan in master bedroom, but that became too complicated, so we used our allotted time to update/replace multiple electrical outlets to code. The service excellent.

So I figured with this deal I would get a new fixture and adjustment of the on/off. They came when they said and brought all the stuff with them. Were done in about 20/25 minutes. Well worth it for the price.
Description of Work: This was an Angie's Big Deal for 1 outdoor motion sensor light installed. Actually I already had 2 outdoor lights, but 1 location was not dimming and lighting properly and the bulb had burned out. It is located high up. on the outside wall and over a basement stairwell so I was reluctant to adjust or repair it from a ladder.

Good experience overall. Asked him to replace a mechanical light timer that had stopped working. The parts cost was much more than I had priced out at local stores. I was not home (wife was) so I would have pushed back on this as the parts he used were about double the price I anticipated.

It was terrible. The guy did come out when he said he would and took a look at it. It said the work would cost more than the Big Deal and that we would need two men for the work. The follow up was not good and they didn’t get back to us with a final estimate. We have cancelled the Big Deal and received a refund.

He did a decent job on my wall switch, although it is not just as I wanted it, because he pushed his viewpoint on me. Overall he is competent and a good electrician. I just found him too pushy and a bit unprofessional in his conversations with me, so therefore do not care for his personality. I have found another electrician who is straight A's on Angie's List for a reason -- he is perfect in all ways.
