We had a great experience with Meyer Electrical Services! We decided to string Christmas lights outside for the holidays in early December and quickly realized we would need to find another source of power to supply them. Within a few days of calling the firm, we had an electrician come out in the morning to complete the work. The electrician arrived promptly and was very friendly and professional, and the job was done within just over an hour. Meyer Electrical will definitely be the first company we call next time we need any electrical work! Thank you!

Two electricians showed up very promptly and were very professional and friendly. They were quick to complete their work but made sure to consult with me when on the installation, working with me on the best spots for the light and outlet. To schedule the appointment I purchased a deal for the parts and labor of the outdoor outlet, contacted Walt Meyer about also adding the installation of an outdoor light onto the job and he provided a quote for that. He was quick to respond via email to change appointment times for me and the final bill was exactly what was quoted.

They were punctual and worked fast to get the job done, however, they left the debris on the floor as well as alarm cartons and old wiring. Also made a huge hole in one plaster wall to install the alarm - I wonder if they had to do finish work would they have made such a gash. But of course for these folks money grows on trees, like most construction companies they make lots of money and don't have to worry about where the money for the next repair will come from.

I am reading this review and I am in shock. [removed member name]congratulation on the birth of your first child. Before you post a hateful review, talk to your husband or a close relative. Some people will file a lawsuit because of defamation. These are the facts - I met with you, your husband and the realtor on 6/10. We walked through the house and checked all the electrical devices throughout your home inside and out. I found three outlets that were not wired correctly and charged you $120.00 (check #1536) not $300.00 for the inspection. You asked when I could come back to make the repairs and I told you next week and to email me so I can coordinate are service calls. You called the following week when I was driving and once again I asked you to email me in a polite tone. Never heard back from you until now.

A young, inexperienced electrician misdiagnosed the problem and replaced a a breaker that was not faulty. I am not really upset by this. An inexperienced electrician made a mistake. I have had good experiences with this vendor before. One mistake will not stop me being a repeat customer.
Description of Work: Tried to find why a breaker was tripping and disabling the air conditioning system. The young electrician failed to find the fault and replaced the breaker which was not the cause of the problem.

I called Walt Meyer based upon his proximity and his angie's list ratings. We had a fire which involved the electrical stove, the fire dept recommended that we have an electrician inspect the wiring in the house to ensure it was safe to turn on electricity again. It was around 4:30-5pm on a Friday so I tried to find someone close by because of traffic concerns. Walt agreed to come citing $200-300 for the emergency call which I agreed to. He showed up about 30 minutes later, before I got home so he was received by my wife. He inspected the system and cleared the electrical system. I met him as he was finishing and he wrote up the task and I provided him a check payment. Everything seemed like it had gone just fine. However speaking with my wife afterwards, apparently Walt ignored her when he showed up, asking to "speak to your husband." She repeatedly asked for his name and was ignored. Understand that we had just had a fire and there were multiple contractors to include remediation teams coming in. When she asked for a business card, his response was "are you willing to pay cash on demand [for the job]?" Really? She never got a card or his name during the ~30 minutes of work. I would even understand if one of the employees or subcontractors behaved like this (maybe just a bad apple) but to have the owner of the company demonstrate such unprofessional behavior was unacceptable. I will not call this company again. I don't know if there were personal problems going on, he could have refused to show up on a Friday evening to do this task, there are plenty of electricians I could have contacted. I would rather he declined than show up with a sour attitude. I had contractors willing to drive 2 hours through heavy traffic that I declined because I needed to get the assessment done quickly. I have worked with plenty of contractors, it is appropriate to introduce yourself upon arrival and offer a business card or other identification, just the basics.

[member's name removed] When I pulled up to the house there was a woman and child outside in the front yard. When I picked up my tools and started to walk to the front door, they went into the house leaving the front door wide open. I stood outside the front door several minutes trying to to get a response and acknowledging who I was and why I was there before walking into your home. Our vans have a logo and electrical license numbers on them and are very visible. Why your wife and child went into the house and disappeared without waiting for me, leaving the front the door wide open, maybe your wife was in shock from the fire. She seemed to be confused, that's why I ask for your presence. Sorry for the misunderstanding with your wife. I would suggest to you next time, let your wife know what's happening or better yet be at home when a service tech arrives. I hope everything is back to normal at your home and thank you for your review.

Walt (owner) answered phone when I called and gave me an estimate on the spot for my small job. Two electricians showed up right on time. The electricians were fast, efficient, and asked questions to make sure they did the job exactly how I wanted. Overall a great experience. I am moving into a new house and have already scheduled for Walt to come out to give me an estimate for a heavy up and running new circuits.

My problem with this company is that they showed up over an hour late even with a two hour window. I was appalled. I had to take work off early, which is never easy for me, to sit at home. They never called or made any effort to say they would be late. I'll give them an overall D because at least they were responsive as far as setting up the appointment. Do not recommend.
Description of Work: Thought I had a serious outage problem- turns out my socket had tripped in the bathroom and I only had to press the reset button to fix everything. Cost 150 bucks or so for just showing up. They replaced the socket anyway for an extra 30 bucks. Not sure if it was necessary. It my fault for not knowing anything about electricity and calling an electrician in the first place. Good lesson learned.

Response from Meyer Electrical Services Inc
[Member name removed], We had five service calls scheduled that day and we do are best to meet our window arrival time, sometimes during these service calls we find problems or the customer would like other work done while at their home. Our basic service call rate for downtown D.C. is $150.00, you were made aware of this over the phone. The GFIC we replaced was from the 80's and was defective. We replaced the old unit with a better quality "Smart-Lock" GFIC receptacle. I am sorry we did not meet our arrival time. The tech should have called. He did arrive a few minutes late and parking can be difficult in the city. Thank you for your review.

Good electricians, at a good price, but the manager falls somewhat short on professionalism. Customers should be aware that they won't fix damage they cause when carrying out work. When installing the recessed lights they cut a hole in the ceiling larger than required to avoid wood board behind the ceiling plasterboard. Instead of patching up the hole as professionals would do, the manager somewhat cheekily and condescendingly argued that my house is very old and pointed to the contract arguing that they are electricians only and don't do this kind of work; they did not compensate me for the damage caused, either. I had to find a contractor to fill the hole at an additional cost. Very unsatisfactory conclusion to what was otherwise a quality electrical job. Prospective customers should approach them with caution when the electrical works require making holes in ceilings/walls, etc.

[member name removed], Thank you for your review. I made this clear to you, like I do to all my customers that there may be some holes made due to the fact we did not have access from above to install the recessed lights. We do our best not make any holes. Also, you had three layers of drywall, plaster and wood lathe that we had to deal with during the installation. I am sorry one hole needed to be repaired. I will emphasis this for you - WE ARE ELECTRICIANS, NOT PAINTERS. WE DO NOT PATCH AND PAINT. I understand that Ben and TJ checked all your smoke detectors for operation and replaced the batteries at no charge. You are welcome. Again, thank you for the review.

Response from Meyer Electrical Services Inc
[member name removed], I sent you an email through Angie's List that we could schedule the service between 10;30 - 11;30 a.m. on 4/1 which you did not respond to through Angie's List or my personal email until after you called at 10:46 a.m. on the date of the service. The only way I was able to contact you was through email, I did not have a phone number. We have had problems in the past where this type of service is scheduled and no one is at home. Our time is valuable and if you do not confirm we will not show up. I made an effort to send someone at your home by 1:00 p.m. but you decided to that you would cancel the service. Thank you for your review.

We were happy with this company's responsiveness and price. They did not try to upsell us as at all, even though we have ancient electrical wiring. Also, we didn't have to wait around for them. We had an appointment time (not a range) and they arrived promptly. We've used this company before to install a new outlet and had similar results.

Ben and TJ were the technicians that came to help us with our problem. They were EXTREMELY professional and genuine. Definitely not the type of people that try to upsell or pull the wool over your eyes. They were great!!! I would definitely use Meyer again. I would give a perfect rating, but some of my problems could not be fixed the same day. I am also still awaiting a quote from the owner. This is my first experience using someone from Angie's List. So far, so good. Meyer appears to be a reputable company with great technicians that are very professional and personable. Thanks Ben and TJ!!!

I called several electricians and Walt was the first one to get back to me, on the same day. I already had gas plumbers scheduled and a stove, but had a late warning that I needed a regular 110v outlet to be ready under the stove. Walt was able to get a knowledgeable and very professional electrician out within a couple of days, which was fantastic. I took advantage to ask about another less urgent issue, but it turned out to be a much more complicated task so did not proceed with any work (the electrician could not do it the same day in any case). I am very happy with the responsiveness and service and will certainly reach out to Meyer again for electrical needs.
