Description of Work: When I tried to get them to come to my house and do the work they REFUSED! They stated that they do not do Angie's List deals anymore, have no record of my purchase, and that I had to contact Angie's List to get me money back. They clearly did NOT want to come do a small job like this!

Response from Mr. Electric of Central Kentucky
This is a definately a very unfair score and doesn't include the facts. Angie's list has returned your money invested and we could not due the job you wanted done for $99 as you actually started a job of running wire that you couldn't finish on your own. When we discussed this, both the office manager and owner discussed with you, that liability incurs when our customers start a project and get to a point where they "aren't comfortable finishing," then purchase a deal for the most important part to be finished. We discussed clearly on the phone that we would NOT finish something someone starts due to the fact that it makes our company liable if damage occurs. Had you let our company do the entire job start to finish it would have been a typical call for us. We are definately a company who does do small issues and up to much larger jobs. To say that we don't do small jobs is a definately in accuracy on your report regarding our company. After speaking on the telephone with you we actually told you our policies and never heard back from you. We did tell you to contact AL for a refund due to your working on the electrical issue prior to your purchase. We are sorry about this instance but again do not finish up projects that customers start. Thank your for your comments.

Description of Work: Mory replaced a wall plug which was the reason for the extra cost. I did not exceed the 2 hour time for which I had paid $99. He replaced an outdoor light at my back door which I had purchased. He inspected my electric panel and receptacles and gave me a check list of potential problems. He evaluated a situation in my crawl space and when my outside light did not work, provided a courtesy call to fix it. He was the epitome of a professional.

Description of Work: I purchased in hopes of having an outlet run to my garage to have a freezer. Upon receiving the estimate I found out the breaker box would also have to be moved adding up to almost $5000.00. Having only received an estimate I thought that I still had the credit. No I didn't. Not only did I loose my $85.00 purchase price I was told if they had not performed the work that day I would not have even gotten my credit. I feel cheated and lied to by this company.

Response from Mr. Electric of Central Kentucky
In response to your review we were called to your home for the $85 purchase price for $200 service credit. Upon being on site, your request was to have electric run from your home to a detached garage (about "one car's length" you stated) in which to add some more outlets for more power there. When our Service Professional came, he gave you the correct quote for performing what would need to take place and to give you outlets for your detached garage. It included trenching over to the building, removing the old existing wiring and installing two GFI outlets, two three-way switches and two keyless fixtures. Also we would have to cap off the existing feed to the building by putting it in a weatherproof box and capping it off. This also includes the two breakers needed as well as permits and inspections. We will only do what is correct and legal within the National Electrical Code specifications. As you can see, the job would have definitely cost you more that you anticipate when you paid the $85.00. On our Angie's List deals these are to be used the day we come over (the only trip) and for the work to be done that day. This is listed in our fine print in which you agreed to when purchasing. You are to have all needed materials, which is also stated and we can perform the work desired and give you the $200 credit suggested. I am uncertain why you felt lied and cheated too. We scheduled your call, came to your home and did give you the exact work needed to perform the job you had in mind. I am at a loss as to why you would think that this sort of electrical work would cost you any less that what it costs us to perform. You actually had the technician on site for quite a while and he did discuss options to you. Please let us know if we can be of assistance in the future.

We found the Mr. Electric company to have a professional and courteous attitude. They went out of their way to try to address our complaints. However, ultimately they were lacking in technical skills and we had to hire someone else. Also, they charged more than their competitors without any additional quality benefits.
Description of Work: We needed an electrician to install multiple occupancy sensors in rather complex arrangements for several rooms in addition to a few other simple tasks. The technician sent by Mr. Electric wasn't able to complete the job the way we wanted it or give us any useful advice, but they still charged us the full amount. To his credit the company owner did make good efforts to contact us about our complaints and he offered to reverse the work back to its original condition and give us a partial refund. Instead we chose to hire a different electrician who did the job without any problems and at a much better price.

Response from Mr. Electric of Central Kentucky
Thank you so much for your honest and nice remarks. To our defense, occupancy sensors were purchased by the customer which could not be used as he thought/felt could be used. Upon meeting with the spouse, not the member, our Service Professional explained to the spouse that they would not work the way that the member wanted them to work. The devices were installed and worked when we left, however, the product purchased were for incondescent lamps only. The member wanted these devices to work for LED and screw in florescent bulbs. We were given the OK by the spouse and proceeded with the installation. Upon numerous calls to the member, he could not meet with us to discuss how HE wanted them to work or be installed. The product that the customer purchased was unable to be used in the way he thought or wanted to be used. Unfortunately, this caused the issue above. After many discussions via phone calls, it was decided that the customer would persue other options.

Carl came by the same afternoon I called, isolated the problem almost immediately, and fixed it. It was an outdoor outlet that was broken and rusted. The box was also set too far back behind the siding, so he replaced that as well. It was very expensive (the markup on their parts is ridiculous), but I'm glad to not worry about it anymore. He also gave me some advice about my smoke alarm and an informal idea of how much to run extra wiring for more outlets. He was very personable and neat and didn't leave a mess or anything like that.
Description of Work: I had a circuit that kept going out whenever it rained, and I was finally tired of flipping the switch in the fuse box.

My old gas fired heater self-destructed. I asked the pool company to install a new heater ASAP and decided on a heat pump to reduce operating cost. I looked at Angie's list for an electrician and selected Mr. Electric. They responded to my call immediately and coordinated the work with the pool company installer. The electrician was very professional and did a good job as far as I can tell. Everything worked immediately, and I have had no problems with it. My only reservation is that the cost seemed very high for what seemed to be a fairly simple job. The tech figured out the price from a pricing manual like the one the auto dealer service departments use. I would advise getting two estimates before using this company. If the price is right, everything else is fine.
Description of Work: Install 220 Volt service for a new heat pump pool heater.

Two lights stopped working almost simultaneously in our garage. We were sort of worried that there was a short or something in the system, so we went ahead and put in an after-hours call. The tech arrived and checked into the problem and said it was just that both fixtures were pretty old. He replaced them with simple almost-identical fixtures. I delayed putting in this report just to make sure, but the lights have worked perfectly ever since. It's true that they are expensive but I feel that electricians fall under the same rule of thumb as plumbers...what you are paying for is partly all the training (time & study & experience) that lets them find and fix the problem so quickly. I will probably use them again if we have other electrical issues.
Description of Work: Diagnosed problem with two non-working lights in garage, replaced fixtures.

They cut the hole in the wrong place, but it wasn't a major issue as a cabinet was going to be placed over it. They said they would make custom plates for the switches, but I saw the same plates at Home Depot.

He was fabulous and we loved him. We got their name off the list. We spent a total of about $1800 on that service. He was very efficient, very polite, and very clean which we found in Kentucky isn?t always the case. He covered his shoes every time he walked in our house and put his own door mat out front. He was fast, quiet, did his work and we never heard a peek from him. We were very impressed. He was on time and he his job and in the time he told us it was going to take. His price is a little high, but when we picked the cheapest builder we got burned badly, so that is not always the best one to pick. He is also insured, bonded and the work is guaranteed, so if there is a problem we know that he is going to come back and take care of it.

I called Mr. Electric Monday morning. Carl came out first thing Tuesday morning to give me an estimate, then stayed and started on the work immediately. The job was too large to finish in one day so he came back with a helper on Thursday and finished up. Carl was very friendly and knowledgeable. He helped me with the planning and then did the job quickly and professionally. The quality of the work was top notch and he cleaned up after himself. He even put on little paper booties before coming into the house so as not to track in any dirt. I will certainly call Mr. Electric next time in need an electrician.
Description of Work: Wired a 2000 sq ft basement for a home workshop. Installed circuits for lighting, and machinery... six 120v circuits and one 240v circuit. One circuit for lights with two separate switches. Made some repairs to the electric panel to bring it up to code. Installed a total of 20 outlets. All wiring was in conduit and all circuits had GFIs as per code.

They were very professional to work with. Extremely polite, nice, helpful and prompt. However, I had already purchased the floresent lights so I thought they were expensive for a couple hours of work.
Description of Work: Exchanged floresent light fixtures for origanal light fixtures at a barn (had to add 4 outlets for the lights to plug into). Replaced the solar chip in a dust-to-dawn light. Replaced a plastic cover on an outside outlet and checked other outlets to make sure they were in working order.
