We had no power on the coldest night of the year, 12/11/13. I called Kinder at 4:30 PM to replace the lug in the meter box. They were there at 7:30 AM the next morning and had us back on line in two hours.

I had one of three connected signs that did not come on with the other two signs. I had not had any contact with the sign company for over three years and thought they were out of business. So I called Kinder Electric who I had used several years ago and I see their trucks regularly. My call was late in the day, about 4:30 and the man that answered the phone took my name and number to have the "girls" call and make an appointment when they came in the next day. I did not receive this call the next day so I decided to see if I could locate the sign company that installed the sign and call them for service. They are still in business and made arrangements to send out a service man the next week. In the mean time a service man from Kinder showed up un-announced. I had not received the previous mentioned call so did not prepare anyone to handle the sign repair. I was not in at the time but the ladies that work here showed the service man where the light panel is located. The service man inspected the main circuit panel and turned ON a circuit breaker that was turned off because there is no electric wire attached and reset the time on a timer that is NO LONGER USED. He did not even check the sign to see if his activity was successful. Of course it was not. The sign company serviceman arrived at his scheduled time and determined that the power supply (transformer) was defective. He replaced the transformer and fixed the sign. The sign works perfectly. I have NOW RECEIVED AN INVOICE from Kinder Electric for sending out their serviceman. I am disputing the charge. They in turn are threatening to turn the invoice over to a collector.
Description of Work: Flipped a switch that is not connected to anything and reset a timer clock that does not time anything.

Mike was very prompt scheduling an appointment for the estimate. When selected, Kinder was quick to schedule the work day and time. They called to confirm the week before the scheduled work. Both electricians arrived promptly at 8 a.m. and quickly and efficiently installed all the fans. They were thorough, cleaned up ALL debris and assured all switches, fans etc. were working to our satisfaction. I would definitely hire them again!
Description of Work: Installed a total of 5 fan/light kits in bedrooms and family room.

Kinder Electric was the electrical contractor on our new home. Now just a few years later, we are moving out of state and had a buyer inspection on our home. Kinder sent Chris to install a smoke detector in our loft bedroom. He was very professional, courteous, and asked for my vacuum cleaner to clear up any mess on my carpet. When I called the company to ask a question unrelated to the smoke detector - Melissa took all of my information, was helpful friendly and concerned. I also spoke to Matt who called me back to answer my question. I cannot speak highly enough of this company. They are honest, caring, courteous and professional people. I would highly recommend them! They went above and beyond!

I called and described the problem on 12/27. They were booked for the day but put me down for the following day. Matt Kinder called about 8:15 on 12/28 and told me he could arrive around 9 AM. Very punctual. Elavuated problem, explained issues, replaced breaker. In and out in less than an hour. The only problem (my fault as well) is that he never indicated a price for the work. Though I feel the price was fairly competitive, he and I should have discussed it prior to work actually being done. Matt Kinder was very professional, answered all my questions, and did a great job. No problems since.
Description of Work: Replaced a main breaker that was sporadically tripping.

Their prices are very competitive. I could probably get it done cheaper but it wouldn?t be done as well. They come when they say they are going to come and their workmen are good. They clean up after themselves. I usually have everything laid out for them so they don?t have to offer suggestions.
Description of Work: Kinder Electric did some rewiring for me and thy did some light fixtures as well.

An elegant solution to an annoying problem while maintaining the house to code standards.
Description of Work: Kinder did the electrical work for our bathroom remodeling. A number of years ago we had some outlets and lights for our patio and a pump for little pool. When I decided to replace the patio coach light I discovered that the ”electrician“ (quotes intended) who did the original work had swapped the neutral for the ground (or vice versa). I fixed that problem only to discover that the switch for the pool pump and outlets tuned on one of the outside flood lights, but not the coach light, and the pump, but the switch for the outside lights turned on the other outside flood light but not the coach light near the door that I had replaced or the pool. [Got that? There will be a quiz! ;-)] I thought I was just doing something wrong, but Kinder realized that to do the job right would entail major rewiring and tearing into the walls. OR, and this is the good part, it would be a simple job to have one switch control the pump and the exterior lights with an electric eye so that the lights weren't on all the time the pool pump was working. But the lights would come on when it got dark, which, come to think of it, is the only time they are needed.

This was a great experience. Someone from Kinder came out to the house to see exactly what problems I was having. He offered alternative solutions and made sure I understood everything. I had already received an over the phone estimate from another company that I thought was high, but Kinder's estimate was very comparable. I chose them because they actually came out and looked at everything so knew the estimate would be accurate. They emailed me the estimate a couple of days later. After approving the estimate they were able to schedule the work within one week and worked with my schedule limitations. The crew showed up on time, did a great job, and cleaned up after themselves. I couldn't be more pleased.

Kinder was recommended by a friend. When I called to schedule service, I wasn't able to make an appointment with the person answering the phone. Instead, she had to call the service guy, then call me back with a suggested time. The service personnel called to confirm the time and let me know when they'd arrive; and they arrived right on time. They worked quickly and were very professional.
Description of Work: Outlets in one room of my house weren't wroking. Kinder came, located the problem and replaced a light switch.

I used this company to redo any needed electrical work in my niece's small home. I had used this company previously and was so pleased with them and their work, I didn't hesitate to call them for this much needed work. The situation was some of the wall plugs would not hold a cord. I was very pleased with the work this company did to make this home much, much safer!

Two men showed up to do do the work, I assumed one was an apprentice. The job required only one person and took less than an hour. A week later I got a bill for four hours of labor. I called to complain and got someone who refused to discuss the matter and sounded annoyed that I would question their decision to send two people to do one person's job. With no consideration for the thousands of dollars I had paid them during construction, he told me the charge would stand. I called my builder, who was surprised at the treatment I received and advised me to call the owner, Randy Kinder. I called several times. None were returned. Without ever contacting me again, they turned the case over to a bill collector and threatened legal proceedings. I felt I had been treated disrespectfully. I paid the bill but won't do business with them again and neither should you.
Description of Work: Install an outlet in the middle of the floor in our den. Kinder was contracted by our builder to do all of the electrical installation in our home, because of this existing relationship, we didn't shop and simply called and told them what we wanted. The floor outlet wasn't installed during construction because we didn't know where the furniture would go. I told them there would be easy access from an unfinished basement below.
