Description of Work: Had to send the first crew away as they had no idea what they were doing. Second crew was not much better. I had to send photos of the work to the manufacturer of the ice melt wire to ask is the installation was correct. Answer was a resounding "No". I ended up getting a different firm to remedy the problems.

Response from JP McCurdy Electrical Services Inc
The customer would not understand that electrical installations must installed to be Code compliant. The customer has an off the self Manufactured assembly, cord and plug deicing equipment. The equipment can not be modified beyond the manufacturer's specifications. This customer insisted that the electricians modify the product to suite his own needs. Which could not be accomplished according to the manufacturer's specifications and Electrical Code Requirements. The customer uses this excuse not to pay our invoice.

Description of Work: Do not use this company....I've held back on writing this for some time. I'm doing it now because I am just fed up with business owners who just do what they want to customers. I'll try and make this as to the point as possible McCurdy Electric sent their Project Manager aka Car Salesman to come to my house to look at a small job and left me an invoice for $1800 work of 'upgrading'. I went with it and got the larger circuit breaker box, with so many extra spots I have no idea how I'll ever fill them. They also, and I have no idea how this happened, but when they finished their work this is what I was left with; a washer and dryer that I can only use one at a time and an air conditioner that when I turn it on it shorts out the whole house. Mind you that air conditioner was in that same window for 8 years and never had a problem. I tried to call Mr. McCurdy to ask him why now that I have these upgrades is this happening he told me that the washer and dryer need to be on a separate circuit, okay fine, well why didn't they do that. Needless to say I got a lot of electrical jargon from him and we ended the call. I can't tell you how difficult it is to get laundry done when you can only run one machine at a time. Summer is coming soon and I have no idea where I will put the air conditioner since the window we had used it in worked best. I guess I did go on and on, but the bottom line is these guys are jerks. They came to my house they sold me more than I needed an left me high and dry in a s***** situation. Oh and they live around the corner from me. How's that for neighborly love?

Response from JP McCurdy Electrical Services Inc
This complaint is more about the owner’s frustration with prior work done by what would appear to be a non-licensed electrician, than a complaint with McCurdy Electric, this Angie’s List Service Contractor , a fully licensed electrical service company. When the dispute occurred, McCurdy Electric suggested that the Customer call the Municipal Electric Inspector. The Customer refused, leaving the McCurdy Electric with the impression that: 1. An unprofessional, possibly unlicensed electrician did the shoddy work. 2. The Customer may not have secured the proper permits for new construction done in the laundry room, prior to McCurdy Electric entering the scene. Permits are required by the State and town ordinance. Below are the events: The Customer, a neighbor, called McCurdy Electric to fix a problem with electrical overloading. Upon inspection of the main electrical panel, the McCurdy Electric discovered that 7 circuits were double-tapped on existing circuit breakers because the panel did not have the space for additional breakers. To wire the panel in this manner is a violation of the electrical code as well as the manufacturers specifications and lead McCurdy Electric to believe that a non-licensed, non-professional person “jury-rigged” the panel. The Customer is correct regarding shoddy workmanship, except that it was not work done by this Angie’s List Contractor, McCurdy Electric. The panel was old and over utilized and needed to be replaced in order to fix the problem and to be in compliance with the electrical code. McCurdy Electric suggested a new updated panel containing additional spaces for breakers thereby eliminating the double tapping. It would also provide more spaces for future use. McCurdy Electric suggested that the Customer visit: [hyperlink removed] to see for herself the danger that existed. The Customer accepted the estimate/contract for a new main breaker panel, new circuit breakers and to correct the double tapping of the branch circuit feeder conductors. McCurdy Electric tested the branch feeder conductors at the circuit breakers and found they were all operating less than 50% of the load capacity of the wire conductor ratings. An electrical permit was secured and on file. The work was completed and the invoice was paid. Months later, the Customer contacted McCurdy Electric complaining that the washer and dryer were tripping the circuit breaker. The Customer thought that the circuit panel was somehow responsible for the washer-dryer problem. It was not. The laundry room was never mentioned in the original quote. It was in a newly constructed area with new plumbing and new electrical work. It was never part of the original contract. The room with the washer/dryer had been recently constructed with one 15-amp general-purpose duplex receptacle outlet in the wall partition. Plugged into this receptacle was a multi outlet plug with four cords supplying electricity to a table lamp, an Iron, a fan and a multi-outlet extension cord. The extension cord ran behind the washer and dryer powering the two major appliances. To fix this problem, (which had nothing to do with the initial installation of the electrical panel) McCurdy Electric suggested rewiring the room so that the appliances connect to 20 amp circuit and be on a dedicated circuit. The Customer was upset that the McCurdy Electric would charge for this, feeling it was part of the original arrangement. It wasn’t. The McCurdy Electric company owner , a neighbor, personally spoke with the Customer and offered her a 60% discount and suggested that she call the municipal electrical inspector to solicit his opinion of the situation. The Customer turned down the offer and adamantly refused to call the inspector. A year later the Customer writes a bad review. The issue regarding the air condition was never mentioned and must not have been in service when the initial test of the panel was conducted. The offer of a 60% discount to fix the washer/dryer problem still stands.

They came out. They were very courteous and very polite. They are polished. The estimate was good. When the job was being performed Mr McCurdy showed up to supervise. All the people that you interact with from the receptionist to the estimator to the person who did the work were courteous and polite people. They were very neat and clean in the work they did. They did a very good job. Hey had to run a line on the outside of the house because of the age of our house. The way it was done you really can't tell. It was put in neatly. We were very pleased. I also like that they send e-mails occasionally on electrical updates.
Description of Work: They did electrical work. We live in a an old house. Their challenge was to get a cable wire to our computer in our attic room.

It is excellent. They always come when they have agreed to. They will come that day or the next day if something doesn't seem to be up and running yet. They are always courteous.
Description of Work: They installed an automatic gas generator for outside the house. I have a lot of outside pumps so if electricity goes off it is not good. The pump is a lot of electrical work.

I have used McCurdy before to install a ceiling fan and was very happy with their conduct and service both then and now. The work this time took two days- they were a little late arriving each day (1.5 hrs) due to another job running late. Their electrician, Bill, was hard-working, efficient, and professional. I'm not sure that I got such a good deal price wise, but the work exceeded my expectations, both in the end result and the conduct on site. Very careful and fastidious about cleaning up afterwards. I would recommend them to anyone without exception and would use them again.
Description of Work: Installed new dryer vent, two new outlets (one indoor, one outdoor), new under cabinet lighting, and replaced old faulty wiring.
