Warkins Electric

On time, provided professional guidance and performed excellent work.

Rob got back to us within 24 hours of our initial call and scheduled time to come out for an estimate. He realized based on the description of our work needed that he could do the estimate over the phone so we scheduled him to come out and do the work the following Monday. He even reworked is own schedule to accommodate us. He showed up on time and ready to work. Rob was very professional and affordable. We will definitely work with him again.

Very well. Unfortunately the breaker was working when he came and as you can't fix something that isn't broken he was unable to determine why it kept shutting down. There were some delays getting the work scheduled. Rob was great about working with my schedule. He's my go to electrician.

It went very well. The process was easy. He simply changed out the faulty breaker along with eliminating an unknown fire hazard.

Rob did a great job. First, he responded to my voice mail on a Sunday during a holiday week. That impressed me right away. Then he was early for our appointment, informing me by phone. Next, once he determined that the problem was not with our electrical system but with the electric utility, he personally called ComEd and explained the issue. ComEd was there in minutes, and Rob spoke with the ComEd worker. Finally, he took the time to explain to me fully what had happened and how to detect such an issue in the future. Great work, Rob!

Rob did a great job! I had paid a flat fee for a certain amount of time and the job I needed didn't fill the time. He looked around at a few things (checked if my dryer was gas or electric, looked to see if a ceiling fan was wired to a light switch, etc.) in order to fill the time that I had paid for. He fit my job into a tight schedule so that I could get it done before I went back to work for the school year, and he was very professional and helpful. I will definitely be calling him again with any jobs that I need done in the future!

Rob was very cooperative to adjust his start of day to my needs and showed up with humor, a ladder and his tools. He was professional and expedient with a list of items that could have been all day affairs with other electricians given the age of my home. Rob efficiently dropped a new outlet on a bedroom wall from the attic that had previously had no outlets, grounded another outlet and hung a new replacement hall way light that because of his prior troubleshooting I had exchanged. He then proceeded to the kitchen to troubleshoot a ceiling chandelier that three previous individuals could not successfully finish mounting. After fixing this chandelier, he moved to my mudroom and rewired my mudroom so that it would accommodate a ceiling fixture and not a wall fixture that was there previously. After the wiring was complete, he hung a new light fixture in the mud room. When Rob steps into your home, his listening, efforts and suggestions radiate integrity and excellence. He treated my house and concerns as if they were his own. Rob was humorous, patient and social with family and friends yet was able to still be expedient in each service item. Each improvement he has made to my home I have been very grateful for. I am convinced that you cannot find a better and more expedient electrician elsewhere, I HIGHLY recommend Warkins Electric!

Rob was prompt with our appointment for developing an estimate and for the work performed. He worked with me on various options in order to achieve the lighting that we wanted at the lowest cost. He kept me informed as to the status of work and there were no suprises. That's all one can ask in hiring a contractor.

In the midst of wallpaper removal to begin immediately in a kitchen prior to painting, a decision was made to remove boxed florescent lighting and provide hardware and power for suspended lighting, Rob Warkins was called and asked to fit this installation into his busy schedule prior to arrival of the wallpaper remover painters. Rod setup an aggressive scheduled and arrived earlier than he originally anticipated. The work was completed in record time and Rob left to complete another job. With the electrical work completed in such a timely fashion the wallpaper removal was able to start on time. The special effort that Rob made in my behalf is greatly appreciated. This Angie's list member is a five star performer with great emphases on customer service.

Rob and I established a date and time for the work to be done, and Rob arrived on time was extremely efficient, and professional and completed the work tidied up and was gone. I would hire Rob again to do any kind of electrical work in that he is a very trustworthy, efficient business owner.

Rob listened to all our ideas and added his own thoughts, many of which we followed. He was very professional, unfailingly upbeat, punctual and responsive. Rob takes great pride in satisfying his customer.

Everything went well and he answered all my questions.

Due to unusual wiring from previous contractors over past 60 years, Warkins spent majority of time tracking down the correct wires in order to make the conversion. Once correct wires were located, conversion was quickly done. Was not able to repair grounding cable this visit. Professional friendly prompt

There seemed to be a bit of confusion of meeting times to come over and survey the panel to see what was needed to complete the job. However, things worked out. He replaced our panel in the morning and was professional and friendly. He even added an extra outlet by the circuit panel for no extra charge. I would definitely use him again and plan to call him up on a future project we have coming up.

Rob was very diligent in attempting to reach me to provide services on one of the original dates I had selected. He had struggles reaching me due to a glitch in Angie's List service request not containing my phone number and the Angie's List staff not providing my number when he called them requesting it. Through email we resolved the communication hiccup and rescheduled. Rob patiently listened to me explain the various things that needed to be addressed in the house and then installed a new light, went through step by step trouble shooting with a light that would not work to ensure all the wiring was to standard and then advised on addressing old house struggles with the the kitchen light. He also reviewed with me other electrical service items I am hoping to accomplish in the near future so he could provide an estimate on time and cost. He was punctual and expedient AND a great sense of humor which I greatly appreciated at the end of the day. I highly recommend his services. I will definitely hire him again.

I hired Rob to install a roof de-icing system due to the issue we have had with ice damming the last few winters. Rob was timely with his communications before and during the project. He is personable and straightforward. His estimate was reasonable and he was able to complete the job within my time frame. I cannot speak to the actual functionality of the roof heating cables but will update my review after we see some snowfall. I would hire Rob for other electrical projects at my home and would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

Job was done in a timely manner and we feel that Rob's work is quality. Rob is very professional, personable and an excellent communicator as are the people who work with him. Warkins Electric probably isn't the cheapest around but you get what you pay for and we are very happy working with Warkins Electric and will do so again.

Rob was able to arrive early. He did an excellent job in less time then expected. A true professional who knows his craft. And he kept to the budget we had agreed to. I am very pleased with him and the job he did. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs his services. And will definitely use him again if the need arises.

We thought we needed some electrical help so we ordered the services from Warkins. The issue resolved itself so we are currently no longer in need of assistance. We would hire Warkins again in the future but did not need them this time. We contacted Warkins and they were very gracious to cancel our appointment. Thank you for issuing our refund.

Rob called ahead and said he could be there in 30 minutes. He showed up on time and was very personable. He looked the situation over and reconnected the wires and connected the electric garage door opener. He then come in the house and checked over more work I would like done. He will send me an invoice and will do the work in about three weeks. That sounds fantastic to me!!

Mr. Warkins was very helpful to us! We received a call from our tenant one weekend regarding repeated GFCI outlet clicking and a burning smell from a kitchen outlet. We looked on Angie's List for electricians with great reviews, of which Warkins Electric had many A-rating reviews and positive customer feedback. We decided to utilize one of his offers on his Angie's List page. We called him on a Sunday evening just to confirm that DeKalb was not out of his service area. We scheduled an appointment with him for the following Wednesday. He arrived to our rental unit on time and was very kind to our tenant. Upon identifying the problematic issue, he called us to discuss the matter prior to performing any service work. We found this very helpful and after giving him the go ahead he was able to fix improperly installed GFCI outlets and ensure proper performance in only a few minutes. Additionally, we asked if he would investigate an issue in the basement, which was not part of our original plan. He was more than helpful! He took care of that issue as well on the spot. Total cost was $120 for the original job and for the last minute additional work. We came to the rental drop off payment to and he was more than happy to review all that was done. He is very easy to work with and a pleasure to talk to. We specifically appreciate how straightforward he is, with no unnecessary up-sells or uncomfortable sales pitches. I now have him in my phone's contacts and will be using him and only him for my electrical needs. Thanks for your flexibility and honesty Rob!

All three are working great. Kind gentleman and informative. Will use his services again. Very pleased.

Rob did an excellent job. We will definitely be working with him again.

It was great....Rob went above and beyond and we got everything done, and more, that we needed. I would certainly recommend him to others! I am thankful we found him, and once again, Angie's List has come through for me!

He was very prompt and efficient--and cleaned up any messes left behind. Quite personable and competent regarding the electrical work. I was very pleased.
