Description of Work: The technician did a very good job wiring a ceiling fan that had a remote controller. The only reason I don't give them an 'A' is because of how expensive their work is.

We have used that company on and off probably for 4 or 5 years. They're very good. They're very prompt, like I called them one day and they came the next. Their people know that they're doing and they're very professional. We just have good experiences with them. We've used them a long time.

All work on both occasions went as planned, was professionally done for the quoted priced and on time. On each occasion the work site was cleaned and left as found. The work was explained to me so I could understand the need for it.
Description of Work: Have used provider twice. First, they install outside lighting and a fan on patio. Secondly, they rewired a house for me at a different location and put in a new breaker box.

Do get estimates! The electrician spent about two hours on the job. Besides the fixtures themselves, the cost of which was not itemized, the fee seems to be about $300 an hour!
Description of Work: The service professional installed two outdoor fixtures for my elderly mother. He did not have to replace wiring, just the fixtures, and he put in new bulbs. We feel the amount she was charged ($450 for one fixture, $122 for the other) was way out of line. Granted my mother should have got bids and estimates, but the company may have taken advantage of her.

Response from Mr. Electric of Lafayette
Our company, Mr. Electric, does work in Lafayette and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The member listed is in Texas, and although her mothers home may be in this area, we are not showing record of this particular job. We would like to address this issue, but are unsure if this review pertains to one of our locations.

The splice was not much of a challenge but I was happy he was willing to do it. I had called a few other services and they were not willing. Too small a job I guess. Mr. Electric tied in to an existing outlet in my laundry room to install an additional outlet where needed. They called before coming and showed up on time. The job was performed quickly in about 30-45 minutes. The technician, Derek, was courteous and he left my laundry room clean and ready for use. I don't really know how to rate the price charged. This is the first time I've hired an electrician in over 20 years. I will say that the price did not cause me hesitation.
Description of Work: I had two jobs for them: Splice a power cord that had been cut in half; Install an additional electrical outlet in my laundry room.

We wanted to move our TV and put it above the fireplace. The guys from Mr. Electric were fantastic. They called to confirm my appt, then called a half hour prior to arrival. I was so impressed when they put a rug outide my door and then put shoe coverings on so as not to track up the floors! They were courteous and professional.They completed their work and cleaned up before they left. We were so pleased that we recommended them to our sister for some work they needed done. She was equally impressed with them and will also use them again and , like us, will recommend them to family and friends.
Description of Work: Install an electical outlet above the fireplace and run a cable outlet there as well. We also asked them to run all the wires to the peripheral equipment through the walls to a side cabinet.

I needed an electric oven installed. The old one had been removed and discarded, and the new one was 1 foot away from installation site. The week before a professional electrician was on site, remeasured the space and looked over the manufacturer's spec sheet on the replacement oven. He confirmed the new oven would fit (he was not available to install it on its delivery date). I called and explained all of this to Mr. Electric and the very nice business manager researched it and called back with a quote. That quote was $139. I confirmed that I would have an acceptable form of payment on the installation date. The techs came out, looked around, and went and sat back in the drive for 12 minutes. When they came back in they said the cost would be $397.28 - nearly 300% more than the quote. They said the reason was that I'd need a male plug and a receptacle ! They put three different costs associated with this job: $187.56, $54.47, $155.25, but these are not itemized. There is a narrative beside these charges which reads, "We will install a 50 amp male & female receptacle. We will make proper termination and check for proper function." Of course I had to take off work to go through this frustrating episode.
Description of Work: I didn't let them do the job because the cost nearly tripled in price from the original quote.

Response from Mr. Electric of Lafayette
As a company, we generally do not give pricing over the phone. We have no fee to come out and give pricing and we offered this service to the customer. She insisted that we could give her a price over the phone for "just the plugging in of the new oven". Rather than lose her as a customer, we chose to give her a basic charge for what it would cost to install the oven. We explained, however, that the pricing could change should there be any additional work involved. When we arrived, the oven was not ready to be installed directly. A male plug and a female receptacle needed to be installed as the previous oven was hard-wired in. We informed the customer of the additional cost and gave her a written quote for the work involved. She declined the service stating that the pricing was too high.

The whole process went very well. The work was done to my satisfaction. I was impressed by their professionalism. When they entered my home they covered their shoes. When they completed the work, they cleaned up and left everything as they found it. They were polite and friendly. About a week or two after they did the work, I realized that the security/motion detector light was coming on but did not go off until it was light. I called and Mr. Electric sent the same electrician who checked the light, determined that it had a bad sensor, purchased a replacement, and installed it. I have had no problems with any of the work that was done. I plan to use Mr. Electric any time I need any electrical work done. They are excellent.
Description of Work: I had several small electrical problems as well as some changes I wanted to make. Two electricians came on the scheduled day. They were prompt (they had a meeting that morning and were running a few minutes late but the office called to inform me that they would be late) -- a service I greatly appreciated. I explained and pointed out the work I wanted done. They listened and asked questions to clarify exactly what I wanted done. They prepared an estimate which we went over in detail. The repairs included replacing and updating the ballast in a light in my garage and storage room, repaired a problem with the smoke detectors that had been installed when my house was built, a problem with a recessed lighting fixture, and replaced a broken security light. They also added a light to a ceiling fan, replaced a part on the fan, installed a new security light/motion detector at another location, and installed surge protection for my entire house. One of the electricians worked all day except for a short period when he went to purchase the parts needed to do the work. When the work was finished, he went over the list of items in the original estimate. We did a walk through to make sure all was done as requested.

The work was done quickly, safely, and professionally. It was thoroughly explained in advance, including literature explaining the hazards of the old FPE panels (also confirmed through internet searches) if a failure would occur. Replacing breakers on this new box will be FAR cheaper than the old FPE ones, should that need arise.
Description of Work: Removed an old FPE panel and breakers and replaced with new one. Installed whole house Surge Protection.
