Work was excellent. They showed up on time and their prices were reasonable. The guy was a pleasure to work with and he saved me about $75 by repairing instead of replacing a receptacle.

Although the unit is vacant, and I was flexible with when the work could be performed, Dan knocked it out in under a week, just after it was estimated. As to whether or not $2450 was a good price or not (I did not get any other estimates, other than ones from other contractors that were quoting on the ENTIRE condo rehab, incorporating the electrical work in), I think the ROI from having fans and can lights will more than pay for itself when it comes time to sell. Dan was very responsive; calls were always returned in under an hour after voice mail was left. Overall, I would definitely use Select Electrical for any future work.
Description of Work: Found Select Electrical on Angie's List, and contacted Dan Mitchell for estimate. Came at the agreed upon time, and rec'd a faxed quote the next day. Work to be done was installing 3 ceiling fans in an investment condo I'm rehabbing, 6 can lights in the kitchen, 2 in the hallway, and setting up a GFCI outlet in the master bath. All these locations did not have existing wiring, so all wiring needed to be run in addition to the fixtures being installed. Since the condo was a 1st floor unit in a 3 story building, I was prepared for major gutting of the ceiling drywall, based on comments from other contractors, in order to run new wire to the desired locations. To my surprise, the only drywall "damage" was inside the smaller bedroom closet, where a 5" x 5" hole had to be cut into the ceiling in order to reach the wiring for the light in the closet to run out to the ceiling fan. The piece was retained, so a simple patch kit is needed to restore to new condition. The fans look great, as do the can lights.

Dan was very prompt in calling us back every time we called, and he met with us soon after that. We are very happy with the work that was done in a timely and professional manner. We would definitely have Dan back to do more electrical work in the future.
Description of Work: We had an electrical socket put on the outside of our garage. Also, we had a non-operational light post in our front yard taken down and the electrical components made safe and reburied.

Dan returned my phone call on the same day I left a voicemail for him. He was able to schedule me for a few days later and as his last appointment for the day. He replaced three outdoor lights (I purchased the new lights and had them ready). He was done in about 45 minutes to an hour. Dan was very professional.

After our house was hit by lightning on the Sunday of a holiday weekend, I was in need of an electrician to come out and check things out to make sure our home was safe to occupy, especially since we have a 5 month old son. I left phone messages with 3 contractors from Angie's List. One still hasn't returned my message. But this contractor returned my call within a few minutes and was at our home looking things over within the hour. He gave us an estimate and returned a few days later (as agreed upon) to do the work needed. His estimate and work were approved by our insurance company and we are pleased with the work he did and grateful for his immediate response.
Description of Work: Checked for damage to electrical wiring and outlets and replaced 3 GFCI's.

THIS JOB TOOK PLACE IN JULY 2007. AN EXISTING FLORESCENT LIGHT FIXTURE OVER HER SINK DIDN'T WORK AND I TOLD HER IT WOULD BE EASIER AND CHEAPER TO JUST BUY A NEW FIXTURE. WHEN I CAME BACK TO INSTALL THE NEW FIXTURE SHE HAD BOUGHT, IT WAS DEFECTIVE SO I TOLD HER I WOULD GET HER A FIXTURE. I CAME BACK A THIRD TIME AND INSTALLED THE FIXTURE I BROUGHT, AND I ONLY CHARGED HER $185.00 AFTER A SENIOR DISCOUNT, NOT $270.00

Dan Mitchell returned my call within 24 hours and promptly set up a time to come out and give and estimate. I was impressed with his knowledge when he came out. He had good ideas of how to install lights in this room which previously was not wired for this. I received his estimate by email soon after. He was able to complete the work in 2 days. He was fairly neat, but the job did generate a lot of plaster dust which he attempted to clean. The end result is very satisfactory.
Description of Work: Installation of 8 can lights and the movement of one chandelier.

Dan returned my call the same day I called. I expected to ask him for an estimate to replace the two "eyeball" ceiling fixtures, one of which appeared to have shorted out. Dan advised me to try a new light bulb as the new bulb I put in may just have been a bad one. He assured me that the slight scorching in the socket was not a safety issue. Sure enough all I needed was a new light bulb! I want to recognize Dan for outstanding customer service. Not only did he save me a bill on this "repair" but he has gained a customer for the next electrical need that arises. Thanks, Dan.
Description of Work: Dan returned my call the same day I called. I called him when I replaced a burnt out light bulb in one of the two "eyeball" ceiling light fixtures over the fireplace. When I flicked the switch I saw a flash, heard a pop and the circuit breaker tripped.

Dan was very flexible with setting our appointment up. He inspected our main power box first and gave us a very understandable and honest diagnosis. He then looked at what we wanted done in the garage, made some suggestions, gave us a bid, no pressure and was very accommodating with our time as to setting up a work time. When our train was running late (from Chicago) he waited for us without an attitude. We were very happy with him and will use him again.
Description of Work: We just moved into an older home in Wheaton with no electricity in the garage! At all! Dan put in a conduit from an existing box in the garage attic, then ran it down and installed a ceiling light and wall plugs on (2) walls, plus put in another outlet in our dining room. Also diagnosed our main power box (which our home inspector had advised us to do once we moved in).

Dan was professional, friendly, and informative. I left a message, and he called back the same day. He worked well around my afternoon schedule (after school kid activities). He explained what the problems in our family room were and what the options were for fixing them. He did a great job installing the new circuits; now, I don't have to worry about cranking up the treadmill and the stereo at the same time! His advice on my other electrical questions was really helpful. I will definitely call him back when we have more electrical work to be done.
Description of Work: Dan added 2 new circuits to our family room to take the electrical loads for our treadmill and extensive stereo equipment. He also advised me on a malfunctioning ceiling fan (replace it), and on the timing of putting in a new circuit in our kitchen. He explained that an outside outlet that we had thought nonfunctional was actually just turned off from a GFI somewhere on the same circuit (it's working now).

I RETURNED A PHONE CALL FROM THIS GENTLEMAN AND LEFT A MESSAGE. I CALLED HIM AT LEAST 3 TIMES AFTER THAT BUT ALWAYS GOT HIS ANSWERING MACHINE. I NEVER SPOKE TO HIM DIRECTLY BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET A HOLD OF HIM OR ANYONE AT THAT NUMBER. HE MADE UP THE $200 APPROX COST BECAUSE I NEVER GAVE HIM AN ESTIMATE. DAN MITCHELL

I called Dan to check on prices. He responded to my voice mail within a couple hours. We discussed the work and his prices. We scheduled a mutually convenient time. He completed the work over two days. His work in clean and professional in every way. His price was exactly as estimated. He was on time and did the work correctly. There may be less expensive contractors for this work (though I doubt it) but his work was top-notch. He even corrected a small problem with one of the lights in the kitchen at no cost.
Description of Work: Dan installed three ceiling fan boxes in the upper level and one in the lower level. There was no wiring in place, so conduit and wires had to be pulled through the attic upstairs and the ceiling downstairs.

We converted our stove from electric to gas, but didn't realize that we'd need a 110 not 220 outlet for the new appliance. I called Dan for a phone estimate on Wednesday afternoon (the day the appliance was delivered!). He called back within an hour and estimated $185 for the work. He was able to work us into his schedule the very next day. He came and did the work for the estimated amount, put our stove back in place, and gave me estimates for other projects around our house. We are very pleased with Select Electrical and will call Dan again for future projects. All in all, a very good experience. We would recommend this company.
