I felt the price was way too high for the half hour of work and I had to get my son-in-law to cut and remove the whole span of wire.

The electrician did a quality job by relocating the light fixture; however, the actual charge was $195 or 65% more than the estimated price of $300. Owner refused to pay the extra $195 and the realtor had to pay it. Electrician also didn't replace two regular recessed light bulbs and the realtor would have to buy the light bulbs from Home Depot and installed himself.

Hi [Member Name Removed], Thank you for taking the time to review our work. When we field service calls here in the office we give our best estimate for the work as it's described to us. Many times, the actual work that needs to be performed may change once a technician performs his dianostic review onsite. We communicated with the owner about the defective bulbs in which he replied he would take care of himself to save on the repair cost. We rely on your feedback and we'll use this to further improve our customer service.

The work went great. A representative looked over the situation ( a 3 story townhouse), decided it could be done and gave us a solid price. The two person crew who did the work were punctual, efficient and neat in their work. The detectors and wiring was installed with no damage to the paint. The job took them about 3 hours. My wife and I were very pleased.
Description of Work: Install wired smoke and CO2 detectors throughout house. The detectors are wired together so if one goes off they all sound. Each has a 10 year battery for backup during a power failure.

Very well. I bought the deal for 2 hours for $249 - they sent 2 people for one hour, which was great because they got the job done faster. Robin was the senior tech, Mario the junior. They were very efficient yet did a solid job. The job lasted beyond the 2 man-hours of the deal, and the extra was charged at $35 / 15 minutes. Overall it took 2 hours, and the total cost was $389. I am very happy with the work and would definitely use them again.

They struggled to get the ground run through my basement ceiling, but despite the extra time spent, they still charged the quoted price. When the inspector came a few days later, he complained that the electricians were not there to meet him. (They had been at the stated time but left before the late arriving inspector.) We did pass inspection, regardless.

The work looks pretty good, however, there were issues regarding the cost of the job. I requested that the company purchase outlets for me, because I was not able to find the grey color that I wanted. I was quoted a price of $178 for approximately 8 outlets. I, unfortunately accepted the price over the telephone, without seeing the product. They were cheap plastic outlets and definitely not worth $178.00 To add to that waste of money, I had purchase the package deal for 2 hours of work for $249.00. When the job was completed, they told me that it would cost an additional $60.00, because it was two people that came to my home, although it was admitted that it was only a one person job. Needless to say, I refused to pay the additional $60.00, because the job was completed within the timeframe allotted.

Thank you for your review. We're regretful that you were displeased with our service. The outlets provided to you are top of the line with what is offered in the market today. The coupon that was purchased was one electrician for two hours -or- two electricians for an hour. We worked 30 minutes past the coupon which is why there was a balance of $60. We appreciate your feedback and will use this experience to help better serve our customers in the future.

Chesapeake Energy Solutions arrived promptly, performed the work carefully and quickly and charged the agreed upon amount. We would definitely use them again. We had painted the ceiling before the work, but the work was done so neatly that we couldn't tell the difference. We were very pleased with their work.

The two service men who came to complete our "electrician for a day" deal where just flat out awesome. We gave them a fairly long list of items that we wanted done that was quite varied in nature (replacing electrical outlets, installing dimmer switches, exhaust fan timers, re-wiring a light switch, installing a light fixture, installing TV on the wall, and more). They worked through the list quickly and efficiently, explained things about our electrical system along the way (which was very helpful) and were exceptionally courteous and professional. They also worked very well as a team, dividing and conquering all of the items on our list. Recommend them without reservation.

Call Chesapeake Energy Solutions after having the fire department at my house early in the morning for something over heating and causing smoke to fill my house. the fire department recommend that I replace both lights in my kitchen and considering the smoke detectors did go off that morning I replaced them as well. I talked to Ryan at 8 am to see if he could get someone out that morning. he told me he was pretty booked in the morning but someone would be there around 5 pm. Everything went perfect. Clinton the electrician arrived earlier than was expect, and performed the work in about 2 hours. Very nice guy who explained the difference between my old lights and the new ones that were installed. Clinton was very responsive to any questions I had about the products installed. Received a phone call from Ryan the owner today, seeing how everything went and if there was anything else that he could be a help with. Customer Service is something I'm big on and Chesapeake Energy Solution hit on all my bench marks. A 5 Star company. Thank you Chesapeake Energy Solutions. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

They did an excellent job. There were some minor charges but that was because they provided parts. They were completely acceptable. What stood out was their willingness to take on a project in such a short amount of time. I would absolutely use them in the future.

It was AWESOME. I've used Chesapeake Energy Solutions twice... Both times the experience was outstanding. The staff were very prompt, and professional. Very polite and courteous. I was amazed at their level of competence, expertise and knowledge of their craft. They came in, and were troubleshooting and knocking out issues faster than I could keep up with.. They finished all that I needed done, before my time expired. How incredible is that..?? I was truly impressed. I used them a second time, on another occasion, to install a ceiling fan, and once again, I was blown away by a phenomenal job. The technician put down tarp on the flooring to protect my beautiful hardwood floors. Before feeding the wires thru the walls, he took care to cut nice, clean openings in the walls. (I appreciated the fact that he saved the perfectly cut pieces for me, to be reinstalled later... ) Upon completion, he did a superb job of vacuuming and cleaning up the area. He left my home as he found it. I would highly recommend Chesapeake Energy Solutions to anyone that needs proficient, lightening-speed, service. Ryan and his crew are "on it" and are masters at what they do. They genuinely know their stuff.

I couldn't be happier with the service I received!
