Thank so much JP! I am glad to have had the opportunity to help out. I have backed down on the amount of Handyman work I do. I find lately that I am often busy enough with my electrical work. I don't mind considering the work, but will need to let someone else care for it if I am quite busy with the electrical work.

Called for an estimate for installing a new GFCI, removal and installation of two chandeliers. I received the estimate the same day with an installation date and time. The cost was what I expected. A chandelier was installed in the entryway that was 2 1/2 stories high. Excellent work and cleanup. I will use the company in the future for my electrical needs.

Thank you greatly for the wonderful rating!! This was a fun job. A little challenging due to the height of the chandeliers. I have an A-frame ladder that is 24 feet tall though. It is an asset when I have jobs like this. It takes two men to wrangle it around, but it does such a perfect job of making the job go SO much easier. In the past I have done high-up work off of an extension ladder. I just couldn't see risking that any more. It saves time, and thus the customer money, by using the taller ladder. A plus for both of us. :-) I also traced down a short in the receptacle circuit. I found it in a metal box on the exterior of the house. The box had rusted and swelled, and made contact with the side of the receptacle shorting it out. I had to replace this box, and the other metal boxes to avoid the problem happening again. It was worth it. Now the customer won't have to worry about having a non-working receptacle circuit, and the frustration that that would bring. Perfect. :-) I look forward to being of service to this customer for any electrical needs int he future. They were great to work for!

Eric was very nice, very friendly, and very helpful! He was able to come out to the house to check out the problem very quickly. He actually had to come out twice, but that was my fault. Both times, however, he arrived exactly when he said he would and called ahead to let me know he was on his way. While he worked on the problem, he gave me a lot of advice for preventing future problems and what to do if they came up. He solved the problem right away and then made some adjustments to the equipment so that I wouldn't have any future problems. I also had him consult on another project I am considering doing, and he had a lot of good ideas. Without a doubt I will call Eric again for any electrical issues I have. It's good to know there is someone out there who cares enough to take his time with the customer and explain everything and really wants to do a good job for you.

Thank you very much for the great report grade, and the kind words. I consider power outages to be priority. If there is any way I can make time for them within less than 12 hours I make sure to at least stop by. Some times it requires having to come back another day due to the extent of what needs to be repaired, but not always. This was one that was an easy fix. Thankfully both for the homeowner and my busy schedule. :-)

It went perfectly. I found Absolute Electric and Eric Hanson via Angie's List. He returned my initial call promptly, and maintained excellent communication throughout the project. There was some coordination involved with the oven retailer's install schedule, and Eric smoothly integrated his piece in preparation for the installation. He answered all my questions. A job very well-done; very 'professional'. I'll certainly call him again when I need electrical work, and I recommend him to others highly. Very satisfied.

Thanks so much for the Straight A's!! I found this home to have three obsolete circuit breaker panels. The one was still functioning well, but underrated in amperage, and feeding a dangerous FPE brand panel. The third, another troublesome FPE brand, and shorting out, causing repeated tripping of the sub-feed circuit breaker in the main panel. Thus the REAL need for replacement. Federal Pacific Electric/FPE brand circuit breaker panels are very dangerous. They have a very high failure rate. They have a reputation for causing fires in homes due to the breakers not tripping when there is a short. As in this case, it was good that the main breaker panel was a different brand that had a better track record for proper function. The main breaker panel was obsolete though, and under rated in amperage for what it was feeding. The whole electrical service needed to be replaced. For anyone who might have an FPE panel in their home I would recommend looking them up online and seeing why I so strongly promote their replacement. After doing so, please give me a call and I will review the job for you, and give you and estimate for its replacement. Its a small price to pay to keep you home from fire, and your family safe and sound.

I appreciate the great review and rating! Thank you so much! Some jobs pose interesting head scratching. Strange voltage on the switched circuit caused for some investigation. Found the problem to be in the manner one of the switches was used. Problem solved, and another happy customer was gain. All in a good day's work. Always worth the time and effort. Diagnostics are just a source of solutions that are to be found. Fun. I really like what I do for a living. It poses mental challenges along with mechanical knowhow. With the experience I have it makes my work something different every day. I enjoy the challenge greatly. Thanks again for the great review! I hope I can be of service to you again in the future.

It could not have gone better. Eric is such a nice person--courteous and professional and patient with his explanations and his suggestions. I would recommend his company to anyone, and I will definitely use him again.
Description of Work: He installed recessed can lights in two rooms, including new wiring and dimmer switches; put in a new in-floor receptacle for my entertainment center; installed a new receptacle with a new circuit breaker in my office; replaced a faulty receptacle; and replaced two switches. He also did some work in preparation for the sump pump I'll be having installed next month.

Thanks so much!! It is great working with great customers. It is always important for me to listen to the customer and find out what they want. Then, give some suggestions, and ideas of what may work well. See what they want to do, and execute the work. It was a real joy to see the smile on this customer's face when they sat down to do work in the area where I installed the new recessed can lights. I look forward to working with them in the future!

Thank you very much for the fine report! At times it is the smaller jobs of just adding a few lights, or changing out one that is not as desirable. These jobs are great. I am glad to do them. It is nice to get in. Do the work to the customer's satisfaction. And then look forward to helping them out again in the future, if my services are needed.

Eric's bid was substantially higher than the other one, but I hired him because he asked all kinds of questions about how I was planning to use the patio. In the process, I realized that I had over-looked many things, such as the fact that I didn't want to tip-toe through the flower bed in order to plug in my fountain. So he installed a switch for it. I never thought about that. He asked about the table and how I was planning to use it, and I immediately knew that additional outlets were needed there. These things could not have been corrected later, since concrete was poured over most of the area. He threw out some wonderful suggestions and saved me from what would have been a big disappointment later.
Description of Work: He did an extensive amount of outdoor wiring in my new patio area and on the outside of my garage.

Thank you for the wonderful rating! Some times wen discussing the job with the homeowner I find out that they might want to have something different than what may have been proposed previously by another contractor. This, along with my experience in retrofitting, adding to, and remodeling, I make suggestions that I feel will be better for the long term. Always think ahead a few steps, or maybe a few years. By doing this I am able to provide what they want, and give them the possibilities of doing something different, or more involved in the future. True, my estimate was a little higher. But, the end result turned out to be more of what was desired. This makes me feel good about what I do. I know that whoever comes after me will be able to work with what I have done, without the frustrations that may come from something only partially done. The end result for this customer was ideal. I love having happy customers.

He showed up when he said he would, was fully prepared to execute the work, and did it efficiently and with n fuss. He made a few recommendations on a few improvements, and followed through. He worked so well, he was nearly invisible.

This was a returning customer. The kind I like. Thanks to this wonderful resource I find customers that of a high quality, and enjoy having them as long term customers. Just changing out a few exterior lights is something I have done for a number of homeowners. With decorating trends that change, and/or time that just passes, lights either go out of style, or just out. Time to call an electrician. I enjoy my job, and I really like taking care of the work I am given to do.

When I called, he was at lunch in Indianapolis. He had the problem in Bloomington fixed in a couple of hours. Tenant reported light fixture socket sparking. He was going to install a new light fixture which he picked up on the way over. Turned out to be a ceiling fan which he was able to repair by removing the faulty light socket. Very responsive, reasonable and pleasant to work with.

Some times the schedule just clicks into place. Not always, but this time was just great! This was another job that just seemed to go very well. The customer was extremely helpful in letting me know exactly what they found as a problem. What happened when the light went out. And what they wanted to do to correct the problem. I found that I could adapt the light fixture that had problems, with the result of them not having to replace the fixture. Called the customer and discussed my findings. Executed the work according to his desires. The result was a savings of money in not having to replace the fixture. I respect highly the value of keeping to a budget. Fortunately on this job, everything went as well as could be hoped for. I hope to be of service again in the future.

Thanks for the wonder rating. An "A" is always a good thing. :-) Another job that had a number of different aspects, but was a pleasure to complete. Customer was great. They bought the lights they wanted (Usually the recommended course. Mostly due to personal preference), and I just needed to show up and install them. Nothing really complicated, just needed to do the work. Very nice indeed.

All of the wiring was corrected. He even took photos of the incorrect wiring. He installed 2 outdoor lights, a dedicated line from the fuse box to the jacuzzi tub, turned 2 independent hallway lights on each end of the hallway to 1 circuit with switches at either end of the hall. Installed GFCI outlets. Corrected improperly wired switches and outlets. He found several dangerous and improper connections and junctions and re-wired all of them. Then, when all of the corrections were finished, he installed 6 wireless smoke/fire detectors throughout the house. I cannot say enough about his work and professionalism. We had several problems that were caused by a previous contractor that if not addressed, could have caused wires to melt or worse. I cannot thank Eric enough for helping us with all of this.

Wow! I really appreciate the time this customer gave to sharing this report. I felt so bad for them. They had a general contractor do their wiring of a remodel for them. Mistake. I often find that a general contractor will do the electrical work due to their telling the customer, "Yeah. I can do the electrical work for you. No problem. I have done it all the time in the past." . The problem? They may have done so, but they are not up to speed on what are proper wire termination practices, or as in this case, proper sizing of wires for amperage loads of equipment that is to be installed. I found many problems that included: improper installation of switches and receptacles, a number of which included not properly grounding the devices. Too, I was able to alter the way the GC had installed some lighting that was incorrect in relation to what the customer wanted. I also found that they did not install GFCI's in all of the places where they were required. The contractor also installed a wire rated at 15 amps in a location that required 30 amps due to the name plate rating of the item they installed. This was a VERY dangerous situation. Under rated wires can, and will cause fires. They are just not designed to handle the larger amp loads. They get hot and melt the insulation, with the end result being a shorted wire, and fire that follows. (worked on one home in the past where the contractor had installed 30 amp wire. A fire resulted. So the next contractor replaced the wire with 60 amp rated wire after the repairs were made. The problem was the amp load of the panel they fed was rated to be fed with a 100 amp wire. I was glad I found this before another fire ensued). With the repair of the wrongful installations, and the addition of the smoke detectors, this customer has a home that is much more up to date with the current electrical codes, and therefore is much safer than what they had in the past. This pleases me greatly. Thanks again for the great rating! I look forward to being of help to you in the future if my services are again needed!

The water heater stopped working about 8:00pm. I called Absolute Electric expecting to get an answering machine. Instead they answered and said they would come first thing in the morning. He arrived on time and determined that the water heater was fine but the circuit breaker for it was bad. He had one with him and replaced it and checked and tightened all the other breakers too. Everything went very smoothly and professionally. Highly recommend.

Thank you for the great rating! Mmmmm. Mmm. Mmmm. Nothing like a cold shower, especially when you were expecting a warm one. I consider jobs like this to be emergencies. Power outages to whole homes, or important appliances such as a water heater, simply need quick attention. I was glad to be able to replace the breaker, test the element on the water heater, turn it back on, and hear the hiss of elements heating cold water once again. Its a beautiful thing to take a warm shower before you go out and face this cold world. :-D

I called Absolute Electric & Maintenance, LLC and spoke with Eric. Eric came out the same day to give me an estimate on some electric work. I had just purchased an older home built in 1971 that is in need of serious updating. Not only did Eric give me a very reasonable estimate on the electrical work but also gave me some very good advice on other projects that I want to do in the home. Since I am new to the area, Eric told me of a hardware store close by that sells a hard to find tool that works wonders on taking old paneling off the walls. I got the tool and sure enough it works great. When Eric came out to do the electrical work he worked very efficiently and made sure everything was cleaned up before he left. My brother in law works with an electrician and he was surprised at how reasonable Eric's prices were and what a great job he did for the price. I will most definitely call Eric again soon for more work that I need done to my home.

I am so glad that I was able to care for your job for you in a manner that gave you pleasure! Thank you greatly for the positive review! It is a bad thing when a tree falls on you wires that feed electricity to your home. Fortunately, I have a great deal of experience replacing electrical services for customers in the past. This one went very well. I just needed to replace the meter socket and the riser going up through the roof. I also needed to repair the roof where it had been ripped by the electrical conduit that got bent by the tree falling on the wire. No need to call the roofer after I was done. Just fixed it while I was there on the roof, after I replaced the conduit and the flashing to waterproof the conduit. I have had experience in roofing homes in the past, and just used this to make the job complete. Another great customer indeed. I look forward to working with them in the future!

Thanks so much! It is feedback like this that helps me to continue to provide great service to all my customers. Bath fan replacements can be done without too much hassle, and can help to afford the home with a greater removal of moisture from the bathroom. The customer had been experiencing problems with to much moisture from the shower, with the result of some damaged drywall on the ceiling and shower bulkhead. With the replaced unit he should't have a problem as this in the future. I am glad to have so many different types of work to keep me busy. It always makes my job interesting in a wonderful way.

Thank you for such a positive review! In some older homes it can be difficult to run new wiring to locations that are out of the ordinary. Finding those ways is sometimes a challenge. But, when the work is completed, it is always great to have met the customer's needs. I am glad to have met this customer and worked through the difficulties encountered.

Thank you for the very positive review! At times it is good to make a simple change to an existing wiring design. This time it benefitted the customer greatly. The thermostat was on the baseboard heater, which made it run too often. I installed the thermostat n a remote location, in relation to the baseboard heater, and it allowed for the unit to function properly. End result? Less money spent on heating the room. Its a wonderful thing.

Responded quickly. Very professional. Worked efficiently. Chose to do the best possible things as opposed to the quickest route. Ran into some minor problems with the outdoor fixtures but handled them well. I thought his pricing was very reasonable, and I'm not sure that I have ever said that about another electrician.

Thank you for the very positive review! It was fun working for this customer. In discussing his family I realized that one of his sons and I graduated from the same HS class. Pretty neat to connect with the past. Light fixture replacements almost always come together without a hitch. This was no exception to the rule. Small adjustments had to be made to make one of the fixture work out right due to the type of siding on the home. My thirteen years of experience in the electrical filed, along with home maintenance also, helps greatly when I face any challenges. All in all it worked out very well. I was glad to provide my services to this customer, as with all whom I care for.

My wife and I found Eric via Angie's List and called him out to give me an estimate on some electrical repairs and installation of a few outlets as well as some deck repairs. I was also looking for a little masonry work and Eric was very forthright in saying that he didn't think he had the expertise to do it right, but he gave me the name of someone who could. I also called out a contractor from a chain company for the electrical work to get a second quote. The guy from the chain company looked at my situation, noted some hazards in our breaker box and quoted me about a $800 price tag. Eric came out, noted the same hazards and fixed them on the spot. He then quoted me a price about half what the other guy did, and that was including the deck work. Between his friendly nature, reasonable price and unwillingness to take on work he didn't think he could do well, there was no debate in picking Eric for our job. I should note that our labor prices were probably a little lower than would be usual for this work, due to the fact that each outlet was being installed via a room that was unfinished (partially finished basement). In a finished room, I'd expect anyone to take more time to run the wires. When he came out to do the work, he was not only punctual and professional, but friendly and efficient as he went above and beyond. He noted that one of the outlets was going to be run through our unfinished furnace room, which had no lights installed, and that it would be easy to install one while he was running line. For $15 in parts and less than an hour of his time, I now have a light in my furnace room that I never even thought to ask for (but definitely wanted!) He also added a bonus outlet to our storage room, largely because it would be easy to do so. When it came to the deck work, he took care to do the job as effectively as possible. He didn't settle for good enough, bolting the deck to the bandboard, but made sure that he was hitting the joists to give the screws as much purchase as possible. Eric is not only efficient and very reasonably priced, but very friendly. While he was doing this work, I was replacing our smoke detectors and he never complained as I hit the "Test" button over and over as I switched out each one. Eric came in on time and on budget all the while delivering very high quality work that went above and beyond in multiple ways. I've already requested some estimates for future work and he's going to be at the top of my list for any future handyman or electrical needs.
Description of Work: Electrical - Correcting problems in the breaker box Moving basement plumbing pump off of GFCI outlet Installing three new outlets Installing light in the furnace room Deckwork - Bolting deck to the house

YIKES! How did I miss posting a reply to this one. I am very sorry for not doing so for far too long. Thank you for the very positive review! Some times there are things I can do. Sometimes not. I will make sure not to take on jobs that are beyond what I think is safe for me to accomplish safely, and successfully. On to the work. Sometimes being able to do the job right is being able to know the fundamentals of construction. Once you know these you can do work in a safe manner. It worked out as planned. Deck secured with newly designed screws UL listed for the purpose. Next for teh electrical needs. I was able to access the new locations from open studs on the back of a wall separating a living space from a storage space. Adding the light fixture location was quite easy due to the open studs. It just made sense. The end result is a more usable storage space. With the work, and the highly amiable personalities of the customers themselves, it turned out to be a job that was quite pleasurable to complete. I hope to help them out again in the future with tasks they want completed!

I chose Eric to do the work based on a previous job he did to install an under-cabinet kitchen light. Eric was on time and quoted a fair estimate for both jobs. We scheduled a time to do the work. Eric was on time and finished the job in less time than estimated and under budget. He was careful to cover furniture to avoid any damage. He is very personable, fair and accurate with his estimates and does excellent work. I wanted dimmers for the fan lights. Eric suggested a switch for me to purchase and installed it in the ceiling with the fans. Worked perfectly. I will definitely use Eric again for any electrical and maintenance work in my home.
Description of Work: Install two ceiling fans/lights in my newly remodeled family room.
