Call for help was answered politely and in a very friendly style. Workers arrived exactly on time as promised, calling ahead to assure someone was here. Work was completed very quickly and the repairs explained in as much detail as I needed. Very, very satisfactory experience.

Owner gave prompt and accurate estimate. 10-14 day lead time to perform work. Onsite electricians found easier way of grounding outlets which required less damage to walls. However, they screwed baseboards back on instead of nailing which required filling and repainting. Overall good job for price charged.
Description of Work: Grounded two electrical outlets; rewired junction box in attic; rewired and replaced kitchen lights.

The service was excellent. His schedule was flexible to suit my schedule. He was very prompt. I will definitely use Brad again.
Description of Work: Brad and his son installed electrical outlets in our basement for our office. He included extra amps and was very informative on what to plug into which outlet such as computer stuff in one and motor stuff (fan or heater) in a different one. He was very professional and interesting to talk to.

Brad came out and gave me an estimate, and everything went great. He was very nice and professional. All of my phone calls were handled right away. Once I hired them, it took about a week and a half for them to come out, and after that two days to complete the work. They were on time and professional. There trucks were marked, and were not scruffy looking as some other reports said. The inspection called for a few little things to be redone, but they had someone out that afternoon to fix them.
Description of Work: They upgraded my service to 100amps, made sure the lines were ready to be lifted to 10 feet, and put in a few outlets.

Our 80 year old house has almost half the lights & outlets on 1 breaker. At 10:30 p.m., Dec. 21 most, but not all, outlets on that breaker went off. This concerned us as we had previously had other outlets & switches go dead. We thought we might have bad wiring throughout the house - possibly from mouse damage. So I called KAL Electric the next morning and set up an appointment for that afternoon. Two guys came out and immediately tracked down the major problem to be one breaker had a loose wire that was arcing to another breaker. So I then had them look at a ceiling light that had stopped working and an outlet in another room that had gone dead on me. Replacing the outlet box & switch hadn't fixed either of those for me in the past. They discovered the light fixture itself had bad wiring and fixed it enough that one of the two lights worked. We'll be replacing that soon. On the outlet they found it was actually another (working) outlet that feeds the non-working one that was the problem. They replaced that and everything was working again. All in about an hours time and for just $125.
Description of Work: They tightened the wiring at the breaker box - which was arcing from one breaker to another. They replaced one outlet box that was feeding one that we thought was dead and they found bad wiring in an overhead light fixture.

The work was done by the owner himself and his top foreman, since all of their other crews were busy that day. They showed up on time and worked quickly for over three hours. They raised the lead-in on the roof, removed the old breaker box and installed the new box rated for 200 amp service. They also labeled all the new breakers. The power to the house was off for only 3 hours and everything was prepared for the line crew who came 2 days later to raise the line from the pole. The city inspection found no problems with all this work. I would highly recommend this company - Kal was very friendly and hard working and the final bill was $300.00 LESS than the initial estimate. That is certainly worth an A!
Description of Work: KAL electric did the initial inspection of the house we were interested in buying. The electrical service was found to be somewhat unsafe because of the remodeling by the previous owner. After we bought the house we had KAL proceed with the upgrade. The project consisted of upgrading from 60 to 200 Amp service, raising the lead-in at the house (the wire from the pole was too low) and replacing and upgrading the breaker box in the basement.

I need a ceiling fan replaced after a blade was broken off the existing fan. The gentleman from KAL Electric called me in route to my house so I could leave work to meet him. He was very friendly and professional. After he was finished he offered to take away the old ceiling fan and vacuum up the little bits that were left on the carpet after installing the new ceiling fan.

I thought the price was reasonable. They were professional, but some things had to be redone after the inspector came out. They did come back right away to redo the minor things that the inspector caught. I was comfortable with the guys in the house.
Description of Work: I had an electric line over the deck that was too low. It needed to be moved due to the deck being built. They had to install a conduit on the outside of the house. He looked at the box inside and said it was not up to code. It had to be taken out and a new one installed. The inspector came out and some things needed to be moved. He came out twice and some things had to be redone each time.

It went very well. I am very pleased. They weren't able to come out on the day we agreed to due to weather. But came out the very next day and instead of the two days they originally said it would take it took one day. It was completed on the time agreed! The installers were very professional and cleaned up their messes. They were very punctual!

Installed a ceiling fan where they once was not one, grounded several outlets, added outlets, changed 3 outlets to GFI outlets, replaced wall switches, installed a light switch, installed two outdoor lights, replaced one outdoor light, installed dryer conduit and replaced light fixture.

I had a sparking, smoking GFCI outlet in the kitchen over the weekend. I called first thing Monday and was able to schedule a service call for Tuesday. Mike showed up on time and very quickly diagnosed the problem (ants invading the outlet and shorting it out!). He replaced the outlet with an upgraded one and showed me how it worked. He remembered on his own to give me the 5% Angie's List discount. He even reassured me that their copy of the bill that had my credit card number would be shredded as soon as it went through for my security. Next thing I knew, he was done and I was on my way back to work! Very efficient...they definitely know what they're doing.
