Prompt, efficient, clean and courteous. McDaniel Electric came to my house to upgrade my can lighting to LED and to replace my switches and outlets to more modern functioning and looking ones. They were very helpful on the phone before the appointment, came promptly and did excellent work. I will use them again and highly recommend

I have never posted a negative review on Angie's List before this one. McDaniel was unable to fix the problem and said that they didn't have and couldn't locate the materials to do so. However, they charged me $616 for their services. I called another electrician, who worked with ComEd to find what was really a very simple solution to the problem for less than half of what McDaniel charged me for NOT fixing. My sister had warned me not to use them, since apparently the service has significantly declined since the elder Mr. McDaniel is not longer there. I should have listened to her, but instead I am out over $600 to them for not solving the problem. When I called to discuss the problem and expressly asked them to call me back, I did not get a return phone call for over a month. I am sure that the only reason I got a return call was that I hadn't paid my bill and was waiting to talk to them first. Mike McDaniel did not offer any kind of a discount, and did not even apologize for not returning my call. Very disappointed in my serve with them.
Description of Work: Electric wasn't working to 2nd floor of my home. They were unable to fix it and charged me $616 for doing basically nothing.

We had a couple of odd jobs that needed to be done - door bell repair, and a repair on an exhaust fan in a powder room. We contacted McDaniel's Electric and they came out quickly and got to work right away. The exhaust fan was no longer in stock as it was 20 years old. Instead of cutting into the ceiling a new opening to fit the new styles, they offered to do a little research and just get the replacement parts. So, my fan is refurbished and works great. The doorbell on this old house gave up - I wanted a simple solution. Wireless doorbell - works excellently. The service was professional and considerate, and clean!
Description of Work: Replaced parts in an exhaust fan that was 20 years old! They went the extra mile for us. Also, put in a wireless doorbell.

As I understand it, this is a father/son operation with the son having taken over the business. Years ago the son performed work and this time the father did the work. He was timely, professional and walked us through whatever questions we had. He provided options where we had options. He knocked off the long list and the pricing was very fair.
Description of Work: We had a long list of services we needed performed including changing out light fixtures, repairing light fixtures, replacing light switches, repairing electrical outlet and repairing door bell. We also wanted an estimate to install a new outdoor outlet.

Mr. McDaniel responded promptly with a phone call and on-site hand-written estimate. He scheduled the job at my convenience and worked alone continuously and hard for at least two days (I no longer remember how long it took).
Description of Work: Trenched and laid new electric line to the front-yard post lamp, installed a switch in the basement ($750), and installed a new lamp on the post. Repaired feed to a front-yard electric outlet, installed ground fault outlet and water-proof cover ($260). Installed electric power to the back-yard post lamp with a switch in the garage ($375). Replaced a side-door light fixture ($120). Repaired an outlet over the side door and disconnected an attic exhaust fan ($160).

Two men came to do this simple job. My mistake was that I had not asked for a price. It took approximately 15 minutes. The bill was $75. The light was not set properly so the detector did not operate unless you were within a few feet of the light. We had to adjust the light that night to have it work properly. The office sent men out within a day of my phone call.
Description of Work: Remove the current outside light and install motion detector light that I provided.

McDaniel Electric is also trustworthy, competent, and professional. We've used them before a # of times. We like how he explains with clarity what's going on with various electrical issues because it helps us understand our electrical system as a whole. With the most recent service, he allowed us to dig our own trench which saved us money on his services. He was on time (as usual) and even may have completed his work early (with him and an apprentice). Routinely quality service.
Description of Work: Ran electrical conduit under our deck from our house through a trench (that we dug). Installed burial cable in; In trench installed conduit garage and brought lines up into garage to re-feed existing electrical there. Replaced motion sensor in garage, and installed electrical outlet on outside of house.

He came in and reviewed our A/C unit and electrical main. Did an excellent job. In addition to fixing our one problem, he found (2) other safety issues that he corrected without additional costs.
Description of Work: Tom assessed our problem over the phone and provided an estimate for replacing an overated fuse for our A/C unit. He briefly reviewed possible scenarios that might take place depending on the size of existing wiring, A/C unit amp usage, etc. He quoted us $120 over the phone.
