KAL Electric

Jason and Chris arrived promptly and proceeded to complete the work in a timely manner. Both gentlemen were pleasant and also very professional. Jason gave me some safety information and I appreciated that. I have used them before and will definitely use them again. I received a 5% discount for being an Angie's List member.

KAL's response to come out to bid was quick. I received an estimate on the spot, and a formal written bid was received within three days. This was a huge job. Originally, we planned for one day, but relocation and installation of the new breaker box took two days. The job foreman did an excellent job of managing his crew, and when he knew things were going to take longer than expected, he brought in more staff so they could finish on time. He also did a very good job of keeping me informed of the status of the project. He and his crew returned two weeks later (at my convenience) to complete the work on the grounded receptacles and switches. They also repaired the hole in the wall in the closet where the old breaker panel was. While there was a slight mess in the basement under the new panel, they did a great job.

They came on time, did the work fast, charged a very fair price and did a great job. I've used them twice now and had the same experience. I'd recommend them to anyone needing electrical work.

Mr. Young was able to come earlier than the set-up appointment and quickly assessed the problem. $75.00 for replacing a blown fuse seems expensive but having no experience myself with anything electrical, I was satisfied that the service call was worth it. During the service call I did request estimates for other services and was satisfied that those estimates were competitive.

THEY ADJUSTED A FUSE THAT HAD TRIPPED FOR ME. HE KNEW RIGHT AWAY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, EVEN THOUGH I HAD OTHER ELECTRICIANS OUT TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM.

The work was done on time and was functional. The quality of the workmanship left something to be desired in terms of the way wiring and cable was strung. A hole in the family room ceiling was not repaired properly. In general, although they got the job done, we weren't happy with the workmanship and would not use them again.

PRICE INCLUDED 5% ANGIE'S LIST DISCOUNT. KAL HAD SOME PROBLEMS DEALING WITH THE CASS COUNTY INSPECTORS, WHICH REQUIRED SEVERAL TRIPS TO FINISH AND MAKE REQUIRED FIXES, BUT EVERYTHING TURNED OUT FINE EVENTUALLY. COURTEOUS AND GENERALLY PROMPT. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN HANDY TO HAVE AN EMAIL ADDRESS FOR COMMUNICATION, BUT PHONE CONTACT SEEMED TO WORK OK. THEIR OFFICE MANAGER WAS VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL WHEN I SPOKE WITH HER. WE ORIGINALLY HAD THEM QUOTE ON SOME OTHER IN-HOUSE WORK, BUT WITH ALL THE INSPECTION HASSLES THEY DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO FINISH (POWER VENTS IN ATTIC). NOT A BIG PROBLEM SINCE WE DON'T NEED VENTS UNTIL NEXT SUMMER. THEY DID A GOOD JOB ON ITEMS IN THE GARAGE/SHED. WE WILL PROBABLY CONTACT THEM AGAIN LATER TO FINISH UP THE VENTS. GRADED DOWN A TAD ON PROFESSIONALISM SINCE THEY HAD SO MUCH TROUBLE WITH THE INSPECTIONS, WHICH CAUSED ME EXTRA TIME AND EFFORT TO HANDLE. PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE IN MOST CASES.

QUICK SERVICE. CALLED AHEAD AS PROMISED. ARRIVED ON TIME. WENT TO LOCAL HARDWARE STORE TO GET PART NEEDED. I WAS THRILLED WITH THE SERVICE!

MIKE LEACH THE ELECTRICIAN WAS VERY PERSONABLE, POLITE AND KNOWLEDGEABLE. HE SHOWED UP AROUND 5 P.M. AND FOUND THE PROBLEM VERY QUICKLY AFTER ASKING ME SOME QUESTIONS TO EVALUATE THE SITUATION. THE ONLY NEGATIVE THING WAS THAT HE CALLED A HALF HOUR AFTER HIS SCHEDULED TIME (12-4 P.M.) TO LET US KNOW HE WOULD BE THERE. I WOULD HAVE APPRECIATED A CALL SOONER TO LET ME KNOW HE WOULD BE RUNNING LATE. HE DID MENTION THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ASKED FOR MORE WORK TO BE DONE THAN SCHEDULED WITH THE DISPATCHER. HE ALSO CALLED ON MY HOME NUMBER AFTER I EXPRESSLY REQUESTED A CALL TO MY CELL PHONE TWICE. HOWEVER, HE DID REDUCE THE PRICE FROM $85.00 TO $65.00 BECAUSE OF BEING LATE WHICH I THINK WAS VERY CONSIDERATE.

HAVING A SEPTIC TANK INSTALLED WHICH REQUIRED HOOKUP TO A CIRCUIT BREAKER FOR THE PUMP. DID NOT HAVE ANY ROOM IN BREAKER BOX FOR THIS. CALLED KAL ELECTRIC AT 09:00. MIKE LEACH CALLED AT 10:45 AND STATED HE WOULD ARRIVE IN 15 MINUTES. OUTSTANDING RESPONSE FOR NOT HAVING AN APPOINTMENT. MIKE WAS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE, PERSONABLE AND HONEST. WILL DEFINITELY USE THEM AGAIN.

I'VE WORKED WITH KAL SEVERAL TIMES & HAVE BEEN VERY PLEASED WITH THEIR PROFESSIONALISM, WORKMANSHIP, & PRICING. THEY HAVE A YOUNGER CREW, BUT THE GUYS KNOW WHAT THEIR DOING & SEEM EAGER TO PLEASE. I AM PROBABLY HIRING THEM AGAIN FOR WORK ON ANOTHER PROPERTY THAT REQUIRES TWO NEW 100-AMP PANELS.

THEY ARRIVED ON TIME ONLY TO FIND THAT REISEN HAD FAILED TO MENTION THE CEILING WAS 28' AND THEY HAD TO CALL OUT AND MEET UP WITH ANOTHER CREW THAT HAD THE BIG LADDER. THEY WERE QUICK AND TIDY AND EVEN OFFERED TO VACUUM THE CARPET BEFORE LEAVING! VERY COURTEOUS. WE WOULD DEFINITELY HIRE THEM TO DO MORE WORK.

THE ELECTRICIAN AND APPRENTICE WERE PUNCTUAL AND VERY POLITE. THE ESTIMATE WAS DONE BY THE OWNER, WHO WAS ALSO PUNCTUAL AND PLEASANT. THE WORKERS HAD TO COME BACK AND RE-TIGHTEN THE FANS TO THE CEILING, AND SEEMED A BIT RELUCTANT TO BELIEVE THEY WEREN'T LOOSE BEFORE THEY WORKED ON THEM (I INSTALLED THE FANS). I HAD TO CONVINCE THEM AND BANTER A BIT. I DON'T LIKE IT WHEN I AM MADE TO FEEL BAD FOR WANTING A JOB DONE WELL. I THOUGHT THEY CLEANED UP OK UNTIL I LOOKED AROUND MUCH LATER, THERE WAS DEBRIS ALL OVER A CLOSET FLOOR AND IN THE BEDROOM WITH ATTIC ACCESS. THERE WAS ALSO ALL KINDS OF PLASTER ON ONE BED. I DON'T THINK I WILL REHIRE THEM, BUT I DON'T KNOW.

THEY DID A WONDERFUL JOB. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM. THEY ARE VERY PROFESSIONAL AND RIGHT ON TIME. THEY HAD GREAT CLEAN UP.

THE QUOTE WAS REASONABLE. THE WORK WAS DON WELL, AND IN A TIMELY MANOR.

WE HAD PREVIOUSLY MET WITH THE OWNER, WHO IS VERY PERSONABLE AND KNOWLEDGEABLE. WE WERE VERY IMPRESSED BY HIM. THE TWO YOUNG MEN THAT CAME OUT TO DO THE ACTUAL WORK WERE VERY PLEASANT, PUNCTUAL, COMPETENT AND CLEAN. THE QUALITY OF THEIR WORK WAS EXCEPTIONAL; EVERYTHING THEY DID WAS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. WHILE IT WAS CERTAINLY NOT CHEAP (OVER $600 FOR LESS THAN 2 HOURS OF TWO-MAN LABOR, SO APPROX $150 PER MAN HOUR), THERE WAS NO CHARGE FOR THE OWNER'S ORIGINAL VISIT AND ESTIMATE, AND THE WORK QUALITY WAS EXCELLENT. I'M SURE WE PROBABLY COULD HAVE FOUND SOMEONE CHEAPER, BUT I DON'T THINK WE COULD HAVE FOUND ANYONE BETTER. THEY WERE ALSO EXTREMELY RESPONSIVE, COMING OUT RIGHT AWAY SO WE COULD HAVE THE GAZEBO READY FOR A PARTY THAT WEEKEND. KAL ELECTRIC IS DEFINITELY AN EXAMPLE OF ''YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR,'' AND I THINK THAT THEY ARE WORTH IT IF YOU CAN AFFORD THEM.

SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT. VERY REASONABLY PRICED. WAS TOLD THAT A CHANNEL WOULD BE CUT IN THE CEILING TO INSTALL THE NEW RECESSED LIGHTS, BUT THE CREW WAS ABLE TO INSTALL THE LIGHTS WITHOUT MAKING ANY NEW HOLES IN THE CEILING! EMPLOYEES WERE VERY COURTEOUS AND PROFESSIONAL.

EVERYTHING WENT PERFECTLY. THE ELECTRICIAN (JEFF) ARRIVED ON TIME AND PERFORMED THE REQUESTED WORK WITHOUT ANY DISRUPTION. AFTERWARD, HE PERFORMED AN AMP PROBE ON MY ELECTRICAL BOX TO MAKE SURE THAT I WASN'T OVERDOING ANYTHING. FINALLY, HE GAVE ME A COUPLE OF POINTERS AND ANSWERED MY QUESTIONS. GREAT SERVICE.

THE OWNER CAME OUT TO GIVE INITIAL ESTIMATE AND WAS VERY NICE AND EXPLAINED EVERYTHING IN DETAIL. THE OFFICE MANAGER WAS FRIENDLY & HELPFUL DURING MULTIPLE PHONE CONVERSATIONS, INCLUDING ONE IN WHICH I EDITED MY LIST OF THINGS ''TO DO''. TWO WORKERS CALLED BEFORE THEY ARRIVED, I MET THEM AT HOME AND FELT COMFORTABLE ENOUGH TO GO BACK TO WORK WHILE THEY WERE STILL WORKING. THEY WERE DONE IN UNDER 45 MINUTES AND CALLED TO LET ME KNOW THEY WERE DONE AND LEAVING. I PLAN ON HIRING THEM AGAIN VERY SOON AND FELT COMFORTABLE WITH THEM AS A FIRST TIME FEMALE HOMEOWNER AND WITH THEIR PRICING, WHICH WAS NOT THE CASE WITH OTHER COMPANIES I HAD ESTIMATES FROM.

BRAD CAME OUT RIGHT AWAY AND WAS QUITE CONCERNED. HE HAD SOMEONE OUT TO FIX IT WITHIN 2 HOURS. OTHER COMPANIES WE HAD CALLED HAD TOLD US IT WOULD BE 2 WEEKS AT LEAST, DIDN'T HAVE THAT MUCH TIME LEFT BEFORE OUR HOUSE WOULD HAVE MOST LIKELY BURNED DOWN. AFTER DISCUSSING WITH OTHERS, WE FEEL THAT THIS MAY HAVE BEEN MORE EXPENSIVE (AT LEAST $100) THAN OTHER COMPANIES, BUT I FELT WE WERE GETTING QUALITY WORK. WITH ELECTRICAL, I WAS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE JOB BEING DONE RIGHT THAN THE COST AT THAT POINT. WE WOULD HIRE THIS COMPANY AGAIN.

JOB 1. HE ARRIVED PROMPTLY, DID THE WORK WELL, AND ALTHOUGH HE WAS UNABLE TO FIX THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IN THE LIGHTING FIXTURE, HE OFFERED TO EITHER ORDER A NEW PART (WHICH MIGHT TAKE FOUR WEEKS TO GET) OR TO PUT IN A NEW CEILING FAN IF/WHEN I BOUGHT ONE. THE CO. WILL BE BACK OUT NEXT WEEK TO INSTALL EITHER A LIGHTING FIXTURE OR A CEILING FAN. JOB 2. THE ELECTRICIANS ARRIVED WHEN THEY SAID THEY WOULD, DID THE WORK QUICKLY, AND LEFT EVERYTHING AS IT WAS WHEN THEY ARRIVED. BOTH TECHNICIANS THAT WERE AT MY HOUSE WERE EFFICIENT AND PLEASANT.

FROM THE TELEPHONE CALL TO KAL ELECTRIC TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO THE EXCHANGING OF MY CHECK FOR A RECEIPT FOR WORK DONE, WAS ALL HANDLED PROFESSIONALLY AND IN A TIMELY MANNER. THEY SAID THEY WOULD BEGIN ABOUT 9AM & THEY WERE HERE WORKING AT 9AM. THEY FINISHED APPROXIMATELY 6 HOURS LATER AND THEY WALKED ME THROUGH WHAT THEY HAD DONE. THEY WERE POLITE AND EFFICIENT. I AM VERY PLEASED WITH MR. BRADLEY KALUSH & COMPANY.

WE'VE HAD NOTHING BUT GREAT EXPERIENCES WITH THIS COMPANY. THE INITIAL PROJECT WAS HANDLED VERY WELL AND THIS FOLLOW-UP JOB WAS QUICK AND EASY AS WELL. SOMETIMES IT CAN TAKE A LITTLE WHILE TO GET ON THEIR SCHEDULE, BUT WE'VE FOUND IT'S WORTH IT.

THE EXPERIENCE WAS ABSOLUTELY AS ADVERTISED. IT WAS EASY TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE COURTEOUS RECEPTIONIST, THE WORKMAN WAS RIGHT ON TIME (THE DAY AFTER MEMORIAL DAY) AND THE WORK WAS WELL DONE. I WOULD DEFINITELY USE THEM AGAIN AND RECOMMEND THEM ENTHUSIASTICALLY TO OTHERS.

WHAT A FIND! THEY WERE ON TIME, KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING, WORKED FAST, FRIENDLY, POLITE, AND VERY HELPFUL WHEN I NEEDED SOME ASSISTANCE. CLEANED UP BEAUTIFULLY.
