The repair went well, Advance Electric sent 2 technicians to my home, one installed the ceiling fan in the guest bedroom, while the 2nd technician addressed the outlets with no power. The 2nd technician recommended that the under cabinet light fixture could not be fixed and that it needed to be replaced. Once the repairs were done, they cleaned up after themselves and I was very satisfied with the work that was performed. I would use Advance Electric again for any future electrical repairs. (I took advantage of the coupon offered thru Angie's List- $178 for 2 hours of electrical labor).
Description of Work: I needed ceiling fan installed in guest bedroom and outlets in master bedroom to be fixed because they were not working. Lastly, needed an under cabinet light fixture to be repaired.

It was a wonderful experience from beginning to end! It started with scheduling. We purchased the Angie's List deal for 2 hours. We received a call the very next day to schedule. I spoke with Barb who was so nice and worked around our schedule. Then she sent out DJ. He was fantastic! He came and got right to work! He was so pleasant and so efficient! I could not believe the amount of work he completed in 2 hours! He was truly amazing. We were so pleased with the results! We will definitely be calling them again for any electrical work we need completed.

They tracked it and fixed it in a timely visit. They are the best angles list providers I have used.
Description of Work: To fix circuit for overhead cadelabra light that shorted and affected two switches. Also, another circuit driving over-counter lights that had been connected to those two over counter fixtures had been placed with a crimp that fried one fixture. Thus, they did a lot of detective and corrective work seamlessly.

When I bought the $99 Big Deal for 2 hours electrical work, I sent the provider photos of the workbench, the two outlets, and the wall and electrical panel. Two men arrived on time and I showed them the two projects I had: 1) dismantle the two outlets from the underside of the workbench, and move one of outlets to the concrete wall directly below the electrical panel, and 2) remove two outlets from an interior wall I want to tear down (wall already torn down to the studs) and move one of the outlets to the concrete wall. They said they could do both jobs in the time allotted. I think there would have been more value in having one worker working for two hours than having two workers for one hour because one worker usually wasn't doing anything while the other one worked. Alternatively, if each of them had worked alone on their own project, that also would have been a better value. I am not an electrician but I had to constantly question them about their intentions and offer my own suggestions because they offered no information on their own nor did they offer any choices: 1) until I asked and objected, they were going to make a new hole in the electrical panel for the new conduit when there already was a usable hole from the old conduit, 2) until I asked and objected, they were going to install the new outlet 4 feet above the floor rather than at a typical height, 3) they installed only a single outlet instead of a double outlet. They were too far along in this process before I realized it so I told them to just continue. They removed two double outlets (4 plugs in each) and knew I wanted one moved to the wall, yet they installed only a single outlet (2 plugs). It took them 45 minutes to do this work and then said they would go over the time allotted if they began work on the second project. I chose not to have them do the second project since I wasn't really impressed with the first project. Both men were very polite and offered to clean up afterwards.
Description of Work: Removed two double electrical outlets and conduit attached to a basement workbench (which I plan to tear down) and moved one of the outlets to the wall beneath the workbench (which is right below the electrical panel.)

We responded to an ad in Angie's List by Advance Electric for 2 hours of electrician service for $99.00 ( this is actually 1 hour for 2 electricians as there are two electricians in a truck). We received a call back fairly promptly. After explaining what we wanted, we set up a date for the work. We then purchased at the hardware store the majority of the items needed for the installation( the electricians carry all the general items in their truck but we wanted specific receptacle cover). The electricians arrived when they were supposed to and we told them what we wanted, where the receptacles were to be located, and gave them the supplies. They set to work, each installing a receptacle in separate location, as we desired, and it took about an hour. They were courteous and cleaned up, The installations look very good on the outside of the house. We asked them to look at a potential new job that we would schedule later and give us an estimate. They took time to do that ( including a climb into the attic) and were on their way to their next job in short order. We were quite pleased with how well everything went and will be contacting them for future jobs.
Description of Work: They installed 2 ( two ) receptical boxes outside on the front of our house.

The 2 gentleman that came to perform the work were very professional. They called in advance, arrived on time and completed all the work and even checked for some additional issues of concern we were having. I look forward to having them do work for us again in the future. Very pleased with the level of service and highly recommend Advance to others.

Response from Advance Electric
(Removed member name) I'm so sorry you were not happy with my tech's. We try hard to please everyone. In my notes I see that I told you that the charge was $80. per hour for service over the 1st hour. They may have forgotten we were discounting our hourly rate for the Big Deal customers and charged you our reg hourly rate I'm sorry that happened. We would be happy to come out again to do more work please let me know if there is anything we can do for you. I will give you a 20% discount on work we do on that trip. Barb Hoffman
