Rob returned my call very quickly and set up an appointment for the following morning. He was professional and easy to talk to. The job went very smooth. I asked him about putting in a new electrical outlet in a cupboard and he said "no problem" and did it right then. It was so nice to see such professionalism and honesty. That is hard to come by these days. I would definitely recommend him. You won't be sorry!
Description of Work: Rob installed a range hood, wired in a dimmer switch, and put in a new electrical outlet in my cupboard for a microwave.

He first checked the wiring in the garage attic and found no problem there. He then checked each light socket and found that each one needed an adjustment so the light bulbs could make contact to generate light. One socket needed to be replaced. I will definitely call him for future electrical work and recommend him to others.
Description of Work: Rob came to my home on the same day I called him to troubleshoot why all 3 overhead lights in the garage stopped working.

Rob was great! I called two more local electricians I found here on Angie's list and neither returned my phone call, I gave them a week each. Rob returned my phone call within 24 hours and we set up time the following week. He showed up on time, work was done fast! Will use Rob again and recommending to a co-worker.
Description of Work: Installed a dedicated outlet into the cabinet above my oven/stove, so that I could I could install a built-in microwave. He also suggested and then added an outlet behind the gas range because original install was not correct. I also asked Rob for an estimate on wiring my basement for future use and he was able to provide me this by end of service call.

Look no further for your Electrician....Rob was absolutely professional in every way. He even went above and beyond in trying to locate the box that was hidden in my wall without gouging me with some ridiculous fees. His fees are very reasonable and you can tell he takes great pride in his work. An honest guy that's just trying to make an honest living. He calls you back, shows up on time, introduces himself and gets to work right away with your issues...he definitely has all my business going forward for any electrical needs and I will/would definitely recommend him to any family and/or friends in need of his services!!! Give him a call you will NOT be disappointed!

other Rob was extremely professional. We are pleased both with the installation and the products that he used. We found him to be very knowledgeable about the products he uses and gave great suggestions to us. Some challenges arose during the addition build, but Rob was able to work around our issues and help make it the great room that it is. We would certainly call him again for any electrical work we require.
Description of Work: Rob wired an addition for us, including installing recessed lighting (giving us a great suggestion to upgrade our pot light choice to an LED alternative which we love). He also wired for our wall mounted tv and electronics.

Rob Warkins showed up promptly at 8 am; came in and checked the switches and the wiring in my bathroom that kept shorting out my fuses in my fusebox. With in an hour he had diagnosed the problem and had it all working properly by rewiring the overhead light fixture in the bathroom. He did a very good job; was prompt; and explained everything he did. I give him a 5 star review; and highly recommend him for Home Electrical work. I even got a estimate to replace my old fuse box with an new upgraded Circuit Breaker box and a very good price.

It went as smooth as possible! This guy knows what he's doing, do yourself a favor and call Warkins Electric!
Description of Work: Rob & his sidekick relocated several outlets $ switches, put in 3 outdoor outlets and fixed a switch that had quit operating the basement stairwell light & a light downstairs. They were very efficient and professional yet entertaining, with a touch of good humor! I would and (will) be using Rob and whomever he is using as his "help" whenever I have any electrical issues. I trust him completely both with his knowledge and expertise and also his sense of fairness in his pricing. I encourage anyone in the area to give Rob a call and be blessed with his attention to detail, efficiency, affordability. Thanks Rob for doing such a good job! I'll give u a call as soon as my next electrical problems rear their ugly heads! God Bless You and stay safe out there!

On Friday, my son attempted to install an overhead light for me in the kitchen and all went well until he turned it on and the breaker kept tripping. He checked the base of the lighting and found some exposed wire, covered it, but the breaker kept tripping. Thinking it could be the breaker, I bought a new one for $47, but it still kept tripping! Time to call an electrician! I searched Angie's List Friday at around 3 pm and called a few electricians off this site who had A ratings and the only one who called me back (to date) was Warkins Electric and Rob (the owner) called me back within the hour! Rob said he could come out the next day (Saturday) at noon and I was happy about that - though this was not an emergency, I was anxious to figure out what was going on! Saturday morning Rob called and asked if he could come earlier - around 10 am instead and I was glad to say yes! Rob arrived fully prepared - everything in his tool belt and a ladder in hand - no running back and forth to the truck for stuff. He quickly located the problem (some bare wires that were tucked up under the base). I have really old wiring and Rob explained that sometimes when that old lighting gets moved, this can happen - he assured me it was not a fire hazard and my breaker worked as it should in tripping. He fixed the problem and even took out the new breaker I had bought and put my old one back in so I could return it. Rob put my light up and it works beautifully! Rob was AMAZING and I couldn't be happier that I now have an electrician I can use who I can trust to do the job right and at a decent price. Sure, a handyman may have been cheaper, but electricity is not something to play with and I feel safe with Warkins Electric doing the job! I intend to use Rob again to put in two plug-ins for me - just waiting for him to get back to me with a date to when he can do it!

It went very well. I was a little concerned about being in DeKalb,IL. I thought maybe it was too far. I was wrong, it was not. Mr Warkins assured me that DeKalb was well within his area of travels. He is a very good electrician. I am happy that i went with Warkins Electric and would definitely use them again. He is fast, efficient, courteous. I have 2 new light fixtures. I new wall switch, and 2 repaired switches. He found multiple areas that could have been a problem if left unaddressed..I will sleep better at night knowing everything is now fixed properly. Happy Customer :) Highly recommended
