Fantastic!
Description of Work: We needed an electrical upgrade for our house. Our electrical panel was a 100 amp service with no openings for new breakers. We wanted to install a new wall oven but our electrical service in the house would not support it. They did an excellent job upgrading our electrical service. They showed us what needed to be done and what things are necessary to do verses nice to have.

Description of Work: Fixed dishwasher that had been incompetently installed by provider (Best Buy). It needed rollers for both top and bottom racks, but 6 were missing. We might buy something at Best Buy again, but not an appliance that needed installation!

Response from GREENWAVE ELECTRIC INC
We very much appreciate the opportunity to offer you a price on your project. Based on our review history, a person can reasonably assume that we have established a customer base that finds value in the type of company we run and are happy to reward our professional and responsible nature with repeat business and by referring us to new customers. It is not unusual for us to win bids even though we are the highest bidder. What is unusual (as you can tell by our 40 reviews on Angie's list and the other 55 reviews on our website via the third party review company we hire) is that someone complains about anything that we do. To say we are overpriced is simply an opinion based on the assumption that the other price(s) are correct. Not all companies are ran the same, we all incur different levels of costs to operate. It costs us an enormous amount of money to create and maintain a company with the level of professionalism and integrity we have committed ourselves to. The part of the equation that customers never know is whether or not the low company actually made any money. So please take into consideration that about 66% of contracting businesses don't make it past 10 years, they don't make it because they don't charge enough on a consistent basis. So we make no apologies in charging what we need to in order to stay in business and hopefully be able to grow. We wish you the best and hope your project goes great. - Travis Gooden, President

We are very pleased with them. We usually put the lights by ourselves but we can't get this to work. The thing that I like about them was they told us exactly what it would cost before they even started. They said that's the price whether it takes an hour or it takes four hours. The price is a little high, but they did a good job and he quoted us the price before he even started. They are very professional, they came out when they said they will come out, they got it installed, the guy was in house quite a while and is very pleasant. He did his business and got in and got out.

When half of the power went out in our house we called Greenwave. They came out at the time they promised. The initial troubleshooting to determine the cause of the short was difficult. When the technician was able to determine the cause of the short, he called the manager who came out promptly. Eventually, the two of them were able to isolate the cause of the short and fix the problem. The problem stemmed from the connection to our outside lamppost. They fixed the problem and also installed a new electrical outlet where the short was occurring. They also fixed the lamppost that had not been working since we moved into the house. The manager also provided a deal due to the amount of time it took to find the problem and did not charge us for the time he spent on the job when they were both there. Both the manager and technician were very professional and knowledgeable. We ended up using them again for a minor job the next year.
Description of Work: The came out to troubleshoot when half the power went out of our house. They also installed an outside fixture and fixed outside lamppost. They also rewired the garbage disposal that had been incorrectly installed by a different company.

We have used GreenWave Electric before and had the same main serviceman come for this job as well, which was great. The two servicemen took great care in figuring out how to set up the necessary scaffolding in our narrower than average entry way and in making sure the new fixture was hung low enough for us to be able to change the light bulbs. While not pertaining to the actual electrical job, it was very interesting to learn that the second serviceman was from England and was from the same town as my ancestors. He looked through a genealogy book with me and pointed out places and things he was familiar with. Like I said, didn't pertain to the electrical job, but I do like feeling comfortable with people coming into my home.
Description of Work: We had GreenWave Electric replace a hanging light in our entryway, which was approximately 20 foot high. We needed the new light hung lower so we could pull it over to our overlook to change light bulbs.

Excellent. Very punctual and professional. They delivered the services they promised, in writing. We will use them again in the future.
Description of Work: We contacted them for an estimate on providing electrical to our above ground pool. They returned my calls immediately and explained to me that they would come out and provide an estimate and it would cost $50.00, then if we had them do the work, the $50 would be deducted from our final payment. They provided everything to us in writing and they were professional and punctual. I will call them when we need more electrical work done.

The work went fine. The electrician consulted with me about where he should remove drywall so he could run the wire to and install the outlet, and otherwise satisfied me about how he would do the work. Then he did the work properly and according to our discussions.

Bill showed up on time and really worked with us so we could plan our day around the power being out. Explained exactly what he was going to do and how he would go about it. He gave us some additional time to make sure food was set for day and also that our duplex neighbors were set as some of the shut off might affect them. (It did affect our neighbors but only for a few seconds). He worked to get the panel back in first so power could be restored to the house. After the panel was set, he went to work on the dedicated circuit and plug for the over the range microwave. He did a great job installing it with the box actually in the wall instead of being on the surface of the cabinet back wall. Much better than some new construction work I have seen. City inspection went great with no issues. Cleaned up all areas he worked in. Would highly recommend.

The serviceman arrived as scheduled and already had his boot covers on when I answered the door. I showed him where I was wanting the outlet installed and he quickly assessed the best way to perform the work with as little intrusion as possible. He was very conscience about letting me know what kind of a mess he was going to make and in taking precautions to protect our belongings in the work area. He was very friendly and, in fact, we discovered we both new the same family very well. I was very happy with the work performed and will definitely call Greenwave Electric next time I have electrical repair issues.
Description of Work: We had an additional outlet installed on a GFI line in our kids' bathroom.

I am one happy camper with this company. If I have an other electrical work to be done, you can bet that Greenwave will be at the tope of the list.
Description of Work: I had a ceiling fan that didn't work. I tried several things before I decided to call an electrician. I usually use another company but I figured I'd search Angie's List to try another company. I found Greenwave and gave them a call. I also wanted another electrical socket installed. The electrician was on time. He evaluated the situation and determined that a wire had broken somewhere between the switch and the fan. Not a good thing considering it was a vaulted ceiling with no attic. He determined the best course of action was to switch the old hot wire with a wire that was not being used. Once he did that, everything worked fine. And he did not have to install another electrical outlet - come to find out, all I needed was a longer screw to hold the faceplate on (the alarm company installed my alarm and needed two sockets - the problem was that the power supplies had the large "cubes" at the end and both had to fit in the outlet - and they used the fastening screw as a ground - but in doing so, neither power supply was being held firmly). So he went and got a longer screw. It was one of those situations where one slaps their head and says "I should have thought of that." Of course, I didn't. So - Greenwave saved me a lot of time and money by not selling me things I didn't need and quickly determining the problems and fixing them.

My gutter installer was concerned about the service entering our rental home about 60 miles from where I live. He would not start work until an electrician had checked it out to make sure it was safe to work around. I called Greenwave and explained my situation. Within an hour they had shown up and taped the split bolts on the service and the gutter installation could proceed on the same day. Not a big job, obviously, but I was very impressed with their quick response and how professional, polite, and understanding they were while dealing with me on the phone. I will definitely use them again.

The technician came in and started to work changing all the wall plugs and light switches to the newer types. He worked diligently until they were all changed. I will definitely call them again if I need electrical work done and will recommend them to my friends.
Description of Work: I called one afternoon, the technician was here early the next morning. He was very professional. Asked what I needed him to do. I wanted all the wall plugs changed from two prong to three prong plugs and light swithes to the newer type. He worked diligently until they were finished. He was very neat and caused no messes. I am very pleased with both his professionalism and his work.

The story is as listed above. No response to my phone calls and I gave them 2 phone numbers and I have answering service for both, so I did not miss the call.
Description of Work: Called this company 2 to 3 times requesting an estimate (they charge $29.00). I was told twice that they would call me back and make an appointment. I have never heard one word back from them. I called them because of their good rating on Angie's List and the BBB. I would never call them again.

Response from GREENWAVE ELECTRIC INC
My name is Travis Gooden, the president of Greenwave Electric. I am currently investigating this issue with my service manager. All I can do is apologize for the complete lack of consideration that my company showed you in this situation, it is unacceptable. As can be seen from our current ratings this is not something that happens often, because I won't stand for it. If you would like to contact me at 785-925-1006, that is my personal cell phone. I would be willing to authorize some of the work you need done for free, if you would be willing to allow us to make this right. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, the only way we can improve as a company is if we know something has gone wrong and then take action to fix it.

Ben from GreenWave Electric returned my phone call promptly, made appointment for the same afternoon, and completed the work within a very short time. We were totally pleased with his professionalism, skill, and courtesy. Pricing very affordable. We are planning a bathroom remodel and will certainly want an estimate from Green Wave for the electrical portion.

They were polite. They were up front in the pricing giving me the total for the repair before they left the first visit. It went very well and I would recomment Green Wave to my friends.
Description of Work: They came out on the same day I called them to evaluate the problem. They put a temporary fix on the light fixture so that the other light on the system could work without danger. They made an appointment to come back on Monday at my convenience and returned on the dot of the agreed time. I had to have time to go get the fixture replacements. They installed 2 new light fixtures in less than half an hour.

We were pleased with Greenwave's work. The additions of boxes and updates involved working with plaster and lath walls/ceilings, which can be challenging. Ryan did a very good job, and was very neat as he worked. All the electricians were great. Greenwave electricians were professional and courteous. We like the fact that Ryan allowed an "apprentice" to assist him and learn. It seemed that the overall attitude of the company was very servide oriented, and we liked that. Because of the age of our house, there are always interesting things that arise. We found out that one light has no power. I think my husband has contacted Greenwave, and I'm sure that the issue will be resolved well. We can not say enough nice things about Greenwave--nice, local, professional, sharp.
Description of Work: Ryan was the main electrician at our house. He updated our electrical in the house by adding boxes above fixtures, adding a light switch and fixture and "prettying up" our breaker box. We also had an exterior light fixed. Our home is in a historic area of town and we have been updating the electrical as we go. I think there were three electricians at the house in order to get the work done quickly. They were all good.
