George came out within 24 hours to give me a quote. I gave him my time frame, he called me the next week to schedule the work. He and his assistant showed up on time the day of the appointment and finished within a couple of hours. I came home to find the job completed. They cleaned up after themselves and I couldn't even tell they had been working in my home.
Description of Work: Installed a dedicated electric outlet.

ceiling fans, electrician

Arrived both times(first to inspect and order new fans, then to return 3 days later to install)when promised. Installed professionally and neatly. Also volunteered to looked at any other electrical problems. Made a temporary fix of a low-voltage fixture problem and guided me on what replacement parts to buy; did not charge an additional fee. George asked how I found him. When I cited Angie's List, he immediately applied the coupon discount without being asked. This was a small fix-it job, but I would certainly call George first for my next electrical project.
Description of Work: Replaced 2 bathroom exhaust fans.

George returned my call within 12 hours. He showed up promptly and performed the work quickly and professionally, explaining what the problem was with the circuit. He replaced the switch to the air conditioner/heating unit and told me that if the problem continued, I should call a HVAC company. He gave me a discount for being an Angie's List member.
Description of Work: I had a circuit breaker blow and one of the rooms had no power. I also thought I had a short in the heater/air conditioning unit that causes it to go out from time to time. George replaced the breaker and the switch for the heater/air conditioner.

I called and spoke to George regarding the job. He said he would call me back the following week when he had a better idea of when he could stop by. He never called me back. I wish he would have been straightforward with me if he wasn't interested in the job instead of giving me the runaround.
Description of Work: Swap out two existing 60 amp meters with 100 amp. Add a third meter for public areas of building. Bring in 200 amp service. Add a third electrical panel. Separate out public electric to 3rd panel from existing two panels. Redo electric for 1,000 square foot second story unit.

George was always prompt and was professional with follow-up. Prior to the job, he offered up ideas for track lighting, which was appreciated. He did all the work contracted in one day (with a helper). They cleaned up very well (especially appreciated since they had to cut into drywall) and left everything in good working order. Would have had him do more work, but budget did not allow at this time. Would definitely hire George again in the future.
Description of Work: In Sept. 2008, Karidas Electric removed recessed lights, installed track lighting (which including running new wires), added electrical outlet, moved another outlet, and added wall switches.

I had a light switch stop working and contacted my home warranty company to enter a service request. The contractor they assigned to the job did not show up for the appointment and did not return my calls. I decided to search for an electrician on Angie's List rather than try my luck with the warranty company again, as I assumed they would assign the same company. I found George's company, Karidas Electric, called and left a message to please call me so that I could get an estimate on the job. George called me back later that afternoon and was able to schedule an appointment for me two days later. He was prompt, polite and professional and replaced the switch. The service call cost only slightly more than the service call from the warranty company would have and the experience was much better.
Description of Work: Replaced a broken light switch.

George is very thorough. His estimates are always well thought out. If anything unexpected comes up, George will call to let me know and to discuss how to proceed. He is neat when he works and cleans up after he is done.

I contacted Karidas Electric and left a message. George got back to me with 30 minutes of my call. I explained my electrical problem and he gave me a few things to try. After trying his suggestions and still having no power, we set a time for him to come out the next day. George arrived promptly at the time we discussed and was courteous. He clearly explained what he was testing and where the problems where. He replaced the faulty circuit and was careful when removing the electrical box cover so as not to chip the paint. I inquired about some other electrical work I would like to do in the future and he gave me ball park figures on what the job would cost. I would definitely recommend Karidas Electric - George is knowledgeable, fair and reliable.
Description of Work: I was having an electrical problem in my kitchen. I suspected a circuit breaker went bad as I had no power to 2 outlets within 1 circuit.

Called and left message for George the owner. George called me back the next day and we set up an appointment for an estimate. Appointment was kept on agreed day and time. I accepted the estimate and George came back on agreed day and started work. Work was completed during the week. What a pleasure to work with this man. He was pleasant, business like, prompt and thorough. He made suggestions about the new outside outlet that I hadn't thought of and it worked out very well.
Description of Work: Put together and installed 2 new ceiling fans and installed wall controls for each. These 2 fans were quite a bit heavier than the old fans so new ceiling supports had to be installed also. Replaced pool table lamp fixture with recessed lighting. Installed recessed light at bottom of basement stairs. Fixed non-functioning basement outlet. Fixed non-functioning double wall switch in kitchen. Installed new outside electric outlet on far side of house and installed an indoor on/off switch so Christmas lights could be turned off from inside.

The estimate was scheduled for a Saturday morning. They did not call nor did they show up. On Monday we got a call from them saying "whoops" and they gave excuses. If they can't show up for an estimate how am I supposed to trust they will show up for the job?

I called 3 electrical contractors on a Thursday. Got one busy signal, left 2 messages. Only George Karidas returned my call (same day). He gave an estimate the next day and completed the work the following Monday. He was prompt, professional and did high quality work. The price was fair. He worked about 6 hours with a helper. They took a break for lunch.
Description of Work: Rewired garage replacing BX cable with conduit. Added GFI outlet. Replaced existing outlet with GFI outlet. Connected bonding strap in panel. Changed polarity on family room outlet.

We hired George Karidas soon after moving in to our new home. Hanging the new chandelier proved to be a bit of a challenge because much of the wiring in our home is old and it wasn't a simple swap. Mr Karidas is knowledgeable, thorough, tidy, and budget conscious.
Description of Work: Removed old assembly and hug new chandelier; supplied and installed two new outlets on a separate circuit in a bedroom that only had one outlet; supplied and replaced old switch/outlet combo in kitchen and bath with a GFI switch; and installed a new GFI outlet in the master bath closet.

George responded to my initial call promptly and arrived on time on the agreed date for service. He did a thorough investigation and determined the cause of the problem. Providing me with a temporary solution, he promised to find an exact replacement of the older type of breaker which was in my home and would call me regarding the cost. He called two days later with this information. We scheduled a mutually convenient date upon which George installed the new breaker. George's charges included the cost of the new breaker ($47.00) plus one hour of work. He did not charge me for any of his travel time over the two days and he provided me with a 10% discount as an Angie's List member. George was totally competent in his work and was willing to provide me with any information I requested. We discussed other electrical work I plan to have done in my home. From now on, George Karidas is my one and only electrician.
Description of Work: Called George Karidas to inspect breakers that were tripping for no apparent reason. He determined that I had a defective breaker to the furnace. Since the breakers were older models, he did not have a replacement on hand but promised he would look for one and call me regarding the cost. Temporarily, he spliced the furnace connection to another power source. George called two days later saying he found a breaker replacement and related the cost. We arranged a mutually convenient day upon which he returned and installed the new breaker.
