I found Kal electric on Angies list and called. They came out the same day and diagnosed the problem, gave me an estimate and did the repair the next day as stated. I would absolutely use them again and will recommend them to anyone who needs an electrician.

The work was performed as promised and on the day promised.
Description of Work: We had KAL fix our electrical meter box which had started to pull away from the house. They came out and explained what they would do to solve the problem and would coordinate with KCP&L to turn off & restore the power. They performed the work on a day when we were not home. We got a call from the owner's wife later in the day explaing that the work had been done. We checked their work and found the area was cleaned up. You would never have known that anyone was there - except that the problem was fixed. They were able to find someone at KCP&L who would both turn off the power in the morning and return to turn the power back on that same day. Our only incovenience was resetting our clocks ! We also used them to hang a chandelier from the 2-story entryway at our last house. They were very professional, did the job very quickly, and cleaned up afterward. And the price was very reasonable.

They showed up on time, removed the old lights and put together the new lights and hung them. In and out in 45 minutes, no issues.
Description of Work: We had Kal Electric out to replace two lights in our house, one a chandelier and other a pendant. Because the ceilings are 16-20 feet high, our "handyman" type companies told me to call an electrician who typically carry ladders that big.

It went like clockwork from the bid to actual install of a 220 circut for the hot tub. Done on time and done well.
Description of Work: this is the third time we have had Kal out to do work. As always it was done professionally and with quality. I always feel very comfortable with Brad and the crew and an planning on having them back in a week ir so as I know feel comfortable doing other projects that I put off in the past due to not having some that I felt could get the job done.
I NEEDED SOME ELECTRICAL WORK DONE AND I CHOSE KAL ELECTRIC FROM HIS STELLAR REVIEWS FROM ANGIE'S LIST.BRAD,THE OWNER CAME OUT PER APPOINTMENT WITHIN A DAY OR SO.DISCUSSED WITH BRAD ALL THE WORK I WANTED DONE. HE SAW MY CEILING FAN WHICH WAS ONLY BRACED ON ONE SIDE HANGING OUT OF THE CEILING(THAT WASN'T EVEN ON MY LIST) BUT HE TOOK IT DOWN BECAUSE HE WAS AFRAID IT WOULD FALL AND SAID HE'S GOING TO FIX THAT .I SHOWED HIM WHERE I NEEDED RECEPTACLES ,THE ATTIC FAN THAT WASN'T PULLING AIR, THE TWO BATHROOMS THAT NEEDED EXHAUST FANS,THE FAULTY RECEPTACLE FOR THE MICROWAVE,AND THE WANT FOR AN OUTSIDE RECEPTACLE. HE INSPECTED MY ELECTRICAL PANELS AND CEILINGS IN THE BASEMENT FOR WIRE PLACEMENT.THEN WE WENT UP TO THE ATTIC TO SEE THE CEILING FAN.HE POINT OUT THE LOOSE WORN BELT AND HOW THE MOUNT WAS NOT SECURE.WE WENT OUTSIDE TO SEE WHERE HE COULD PLACE THE EXHAUST FAN FOR THE BASEMENT FAN. HE TOLD ME HOW MUCH IT WAS GOING TO BE WHICH WAS WHAT I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE AROUND. I AGREED, HE SET UP AN APPOINTMENT SAID IT WOULD BE ALL DAY WITH A FULL CREW (3). MIKE,DENNIS AND HARRISON ARRIVED 15 MINUTES EARLY AND WORKED ALL DAY.MY HOME WAS BUILT IN 1926 SO THEY HAD TO GO THROUGH LATHE AND PLASTER.FOR THE BASEMENT FAN MIKE DRILLED THRU 31 INCHES OF BRICK AND WOOD . MIKE SHOWED ME THAT THE BLADE HOLDERS ON THE CEILING FAN WERE BENT. HELPED ME ORDER THEM FROM HAMPTON BAY.TOLD ME TO CALL WHEN THE CAME IN AND HE WOULD REPLACE. THESE GUYS WORKED THEIR BACKSIDES OFF! CLEANED UP AFTER THEMSELVES AND ARE INTERESTING TO TALK TO,YOU TOO BRAD. THE COST WAS RIGHT ON. I RECIEVED MY FAN HOLDERS A WEEK LATER BUT I'M LOOKING FOR NEW LIGHTING FIXTURES AND WILL CALL BACK WHEN I'VE PICK THEM OUT.EXCELLENT WORK,EXCELLANT EXPERIENCE

Monique in the office always gets back to you with clear answers and genuinely does all that she can to meet your needs as a customer. She was very candid with me about when KAL could come out and wanted to make sure that worked for me. When Brad came out, he was friendly, fast and efficient in diagnosing the problem, discussing the most cost effective and long-term fix and then making it all come together. He is an excellent problem solver and he definitely wants to make your situation come together in a responsible, well-thought out approach. Within a short time he had the lights working in concert with the new timer and made very sure we got all of our questions answered. Thanks, Brad!!! The lights shone bright that night thanks to you!!!

I called several places for an estimate. Kal Electric was one of them. Brad showed up as scheduled. My doorbell hasn't worked in a longtime, in fact the actual button wasn't even there anymore. Before he even knocked, Brad was checking out the doorbell. Had not even met me before he started working! When the day came to do the work, 3 very nice & polite gentlemen showed up -again on time! These guys were just AWESOME! They explained everything, cleaned up after themselves & made sure I was happy throughout the entire process. I feel that I got what I paid for in every way. When I need electrical work again, I won't even need Angie's List! I know EXACTLY who I am going to call!
Description of Work: I had raccoon & squirrel damage in the attic. They had to replace almost every thing up there - in the blazing hot July summer!

I wanted to surprise my daughter and son-in-law by changing out a can light above their kitchen sink. They bought a fixture for it several months ago, but found out the can converter they bought with it was more challenging than they thought, so it all sat around gathering dust. While they were out of town celebrating their first anniversary I contacted KAL and set up an appointment to have the fixture installed. KAL came highly recommended by someone I trust and Brad did the job right. I would definitely use this company again :

As Brad was removing the light fixtures in the ceiling a dead (thank goodness) mouse fell out of the opening. He did NOT scream like a girl. I did not see the mouse but it had been deceased for a very long time. Brad put it in the trash for me. Thank you Brad.
Description of Work: Brad, the owner was running early, so he called to make sure that it would be okay if he arrived about 30 minutes early - I appreciated that. I had a fluorescent light fixture in my sewing room that had several problems - it needed a new ballast , the wall switch didn't work half the time. I had two workshop type fluorescent light fixtures in a basement room that had been finished at one time and used as a bedroom. The workshop type fluorescent had been installed in the ceiling and hard wired. Wooden frames had then been built around the fixtures . Plastic filter/screens had been put inside the wooden frames to make it look better. Now these bulbs were completely inside the frame making them really impossible to replace. Brad took the frames and light fixtures down and installed regular light fixxtures. He also installed (2) GFCI receptacles in the bathroom.

Called us back immediately , came on time and did the work as expected. Discovered later that three outlets were no longer working in our kitchen. Brad returned immediately when called and spent two to three hours of his time troubleshooting. Fixed the problem with no additional charge. We were impressed!

Their service is truly incredible! We’ve used them for over fifteen years, so we’ve gotten to know the owner, Brad, well. Brad will often come out to jobs himself, and he is very knowledgeable and practical. He provides helpful, honest, cost effective suggestions. Also, their pricing isn’t exorbitant.

After I submitted my request, the office called me the very next day and setup for Brad to come by and give me an estimate. Brad was actually a little early which was fine and he explained to me a couple different options regarding having an electrical outlet for my sump pump. On the day of service, Brad was agina early which I liked and he went right to work and did an excellent job with the elctrical outlet. Could not have asked for a better job. He also hung the alarm for my sump pump on the wall which was above and beyond. Very professional and cost was reasonable. Would call again.
Description of Work: Needed electrical outlet installed in basement for recently installed sump pump.

They said attic fans were not as sturdy now as in years past and recommended a new motor and belt for mine. They ordered it and installed it when it arrived as scheduled. They took care of all the other items on their original trip without a hitch. I was very pleased with their workmanship and my wife was very pleased with their professionalism, since she was the one at home when they worked.
Description of Work: I called them because of their good ratings with Angie's customers. My attic fan was misbehaving and I had several smaller electrical switches that needed attention. In addition, we wanted to install a ceiling fan in our bedroom. They came and inspected our ancient attic fan and made recommendations. They repaired two 3-way switches and replaced my disposal switch. They installed the ceiling fan I had bought.

Brad from Kal electric came to my house the same day I called to repair my doorbell which hadn't woked in months. Not only did he do the work I hired him to do, he gave me several options on changing the lighting in my house to update it. I will have him back in the future to do some lighting work. He was very courteous and just a nice guy to work with.

Great experience from start to finish. They were on-time and called prior to coming to make sure we were home and it was OK to come out. I work from home and when they came I was busy with a client call. They quietly came into the house and worked quietly (even though I didn't ask them to, they just did it). They were very courteous and efficient in their work. They completely cleaned everything up and verified the work was done to my satisfaction. We have hired two other electricians in the past and in both cases there was damage or work done improperly so I am very pleased to find an electrician company that does great and professional work
Description of Work: Installed one floor electrical outlet in the living room and installed a cable video outlet. Our basement is finished with drywall ceilings so there was a bit more work to run the wires for these outlets. They also reset a box for our stove that another electrician had not installed properly.

It went well. All the work took 2 days to do. Brad did a fine job and was personable while working. He was willing to do little extra things to make sure the job was done right and that we were happy with it. He made the lights dimmable which was also very nice.
Description of Work: I had under and over cabinet lighting installed, and a can light installed over the kitchen sink, and 3 new outlets installed, a 220 line run for a hot tub, a high pressure sodium light installed on a barn, wiring for an outside light added at a door, 2 new GFCI outlets installed, the switch for the disposal was moved, and a 2-way switch was repaired.
