Jamie was very professional, prompt in getting an estimate and securing the install date. He said what would and would not be covered - mainly ceiling patching was the only thing they didn't do. The electricians were very prompt, courteous, and the whole project was completed more quickly than I'd expected. I'd definitely hire Jamie Clar again!
Description of Work: I had four light fixtures and two CO/smoke alarms installed.

Wonderfully, Jamie came out himself on a week night right after we closed on the house to give us an estimate and got us scheduled asap. The work was efficient, fairly priced, and well done. I would absolutely use them again.
Description of Work: We needed our circuit breaker panel upgraded, all outlets near water switched to GFI, and many outlets switched to 3 prong.

Jamie Clar is very knowledgeable, professional and responsive. He is pleasant to work with and his pricing for the work was reasonable. We will call him back in the near future to install a new light fixture. Today we recommended him to a friend in Chicago for their near-term electrical requirements. Clar Electric serves Chicago and surrounding suburbs.
Description of Work: Lighting in various parts of our home was flickering and blinking quite badly. This was alarming! Called Jamie Clar in the morning after the New Years holiday. Jamie Clar was very responsive in returning my phone call. I explained the problem and he agreed to fit me in toward the end of the day. Jamie quickly accessed the problem which was four defective circuit breakers in our circuit breaker panel. He quickly replaced the defective breakers in open locations in the panel.

We couldn't be happier with Clar Electric's service. Jamie came out right away for a quote, even though it was a fairly small job. He was hopeful one of our issues could potentially be resolved right away, and spent 30 minutes trying to set it right. When that was unsuccessful (the house's fault, not Jamie's), he promptly sent us a detailed quote with what we considered a fair price. His crew arrived on time, and were the epitome of professional. After resolving our first issue, they found a way to do a partial fix (for less money!) for our other issue that could be done without tearing out our walls, and asked if I was interested, or wanted to proceed with the original plan. I was thrilled they worked to find a plan that worked for me that actually made them LESS money, as well as doing less damage to our home. We would absolutely hire Clar Electric again.
Description of Work: Rewiring dead and switched outlets in our basement. We bought an older home, and some outlets in our basement were completely dead, others were controlled by the same switch as the overhead lights instead of being independent.

Jamie was great. He quickly identified and thoughtfully explained the problems. He informed us of the pros and cons of repairing vs. replacing fixtures and hardware. We needed the switch replaced, but we didn't need to address the basement lights right away. During the diagnostics and repair, he worked efficiently and carefully.
Description of Work: One switch in a 3-switch unit connected to wall outlets stopped working, and we needed advice on how to handle old, dying basement florescent lights.

He's very reasonable. He's just a very nice man. I do remember that he charged me for some other work that I was very surprised at the low cost that he charged. He's very busy so I know when I call him that he is not going to get to me immediately but he usually tells me I can't get to you if you want to call somebody else. He's very cognizant of the fact that he's busy and if we have an emergency we call somebody else. I have used him several times. He's very personable. He does the work. He tells me if it's something I can do myself he tells me how to do it. I thought I needed a ballast changed on 3 different lights but I only needed one so he could have hosed me on that. So he is very honest.
Description of Work: He had to change some ballasts in light fixtures that we had for florescent bulbs and stuff.
