They like to start in the morning, 7am start. I wrote a list, they gave me an estimate and they sent 3 to 4 guys out to get it done. They are the best but expensive. They are my guy.

Top of line, excellent workman. Very expensive but I want the good guys. They could problem solve and problems they found, and they found plenty. They come with a crew if you have a lot to do. They are very good. They are very qualified people working for them. They are very professional, when you call them they come out, go over everything I want done then get a price. They will send 3 guys to get the work done but I got a lot of work done.

They were great. They installed light fixtures, replaced/updated outlets, installed whole house surge protector, grounded the garage door opener. I was very happy to know they checked out the whole house and cleaned up a number of issues I wouldn't have been aware I needed to address.
Description of Work: We used Tingley for a list of jobs when we first moved into our house. One thing that was a great suggestion from him was a whole house surge protector. I had already lost two dishwashers to lightning storms.

Very well. They made good use of digital communication to keep things quick and simple. This is the way services should be done always.
Description of Work: We had a closing on our home coming up in a few days when we flunked the smoke detector inspection. I fixed five of the eight but ran out of time. Found Tingley here on Angie's list, described the situation. They came out the next day, inspection passed the day before closing.

I was very pleased with both the work and the professionalism of the company and the technicians. They gave me a date and time and followed up to remind me the day before. On the day of service, I was sent a text message from the technician with name and photo saying he was on his way. They explained what they needed to do and the costs before they started and then promptly replaced all the smoke detectors with ones that were up-to-date. In addition, they did an inspection of the whole electrical system and answered questions I had about some switches.
Description of Work: I used TIngley to replace outdated wired-in smoke alarms in the bedrooms and hallway.

It worked out very well. I don't have the experience to be able to be accurate on the grade for the pricing. The quality was good.
Description of Work: They converted some electrical outlets to be able to take (I don't know what you call it) but the cord to charge a phone. They added that, I think it was 3 outlets. I also had some wiring in my basement ceiling that needed to be checked out. I was uncomfortable with it so they checked it out and did a couple of things and told me it was ok.

The works was performed professionally and all steps explained along the way. Multiple options were provided for the issues and a full review of our existing outlets and alarms was also performed. There was no pressure in making a decision and we're very satisfied with the work that was done over a month ago at this point.
Description of Work: There were a number of miscellaneous issues including indoor lighting connected to an outdoor photocell and a broken outlet.

Very smooth initial contact, then we waited 2 weeks for our scheduled appointment. We were given two days the technicians would be there for the work. They actually left after a half day and did not return to finish the job for over two weeks. The excuse they gave was not valid. The technicians were nice, but needed supervision which they did not get from the company. When they returned my husband helped them to finish the job.

Thank for letting us know of your concern and for taking my call today. I respectfully disagree with your assessment. The contractor on site told us that he could not install the siding in the area we needed that day and that he would get to it as soon as possible. We could not continue working on the wiring. We were also told that a trench would be dug by someone else soon, in order for us to continue our work and it was discussed that we would return as soon as we could after these two tasks were completed. I am sorry you feel we let you down. Our employees are highly trained, licensed electricians that are very independent. Thank you, Vinny Tingley

Tingley Electric is exceptional! The electrician was respectful, professional and on time. He completed the requested work efficiently and effectively with no leftover dust or messy. In addition, The electrician inspected all electrical outlets in the house and the main panel, explaining what improvements could be made both for safety and efficiency. I'm so excited and pleased with the work that was completed today at the estimated cost given- no surprises between an estimate and the final cost. Thank you so much! I will be requesting Tingley's services in the near future.
Description of Work: I needed to have a light switch shifted from one side of a wall to the other side of the wall. In addition, I had a chandelier removed and replaced with an upgraded chandler I purchased.

Work was scheduled between 11 and 1 but Tingley Electric called to say they could be at my house around 9:30 if I was home. I was thrilled to get an earlier appt. John came in and assessed and priced the job at the Safety and Savings Plan rate. He described the job to me and spent a considerable amount of time getting the job done right. He was very neat, nothing to clean up after her left. I had purchased the fixtures myself so the price below is labor only.

Hi, I do not have your name in our records. I see that the address is in another state and we only work in MA. Perhaps you have sent a review to the wrong company?

We have used Tingley before and were surprised by an extremely disappointing experience this time around.. Called to ask Tingley to provide a quote to wall-mount one (1) TV, add two electrical outlets, add brush plates and snake HDMI wires. Provider charged $89 just to show up and provide an estimate. Figured that would be OK because we had used them before and had been happy with the quality of work in the past.... didn't figure we would be shopping the job around or lose our $89. However..... Tingley's electrician showed up as promised. After evaluation, he quoted a job cost in excess of $1,000 - for one TV. They then proceeded to pitch an annual services plan that cost somewhere around $120 that would provide us a 15% discount off of all services... bringing the total job to ~$970 or so. I was shocked by this because I had already purchased 90% of the parts needed including: TV mount, brush plates, electrical outlets, 3 HDMI cables and a toslink cable. Their job was simply to provide the expertise and labor to do the install. When I asked the electrician to tell me how long it would take to do the job, he answered "maybe three hours tops". I suggested to him that, with three hours of work and a $900+ bill, he was really quoting me a rate of $300+ an hour. I asked him if he thought that sounded a bit outrageous... His response was, "we don't quote hourly, we quote by the job." He didn't seem to understand the concern or make any real effort to address it. When I reviewed the quote form he provided, it was not written up to meet our job requirements. The form included 10 boxes with canned electrical jobs listed next to them. He did not customize the quote, but simply checked the box of a listed job that didn't remotely resemble the job I asked him to quote - it was the "top box" with the highest cost. This made me feel that I was being taken advantage of, particularly given that they collected $89 from me to provide this quote. I promptly called another electrician, who provided an honest quote of 1/4 that of Tingley. In fact, the other electrician installed a second wall-mount TV and a surge protector and still came in at a price several hundred less than Tingley. Given the outrageous price, I feel like I was taken for $89 while not receiving anything that I would consider close to a reasonable estimate. Not a good experience and will not call again.
