Great. He was prompt and worked quickly and neatly.

Alan is the electrician that was sent out to us. He was prompt, polite, efficient, very professional. The phone guy was here the same time the electrical work was being done. Alan overheard a conversation between my husband and the phone guy about dropping wires thru ceiling for clean and good looking install of flat screen TV in our living room. Phone guy wasn't able to make it the clean job that we wanted-he'd go over doorways and leave a trail of wires showing. Alan said he could do the type of install we wanted, and so he got himself/his company another day's work. In fact, the garage lighting and additional outlet wasn't part of our original plan either-we just liked the quality of his work and grew our list since they were so accommodating and professional.

We had a very old ceiling fan that did not function and needed it replaced with a new one which we had purchased. The technician called prior to coming out, arrived when expected and then ran into difficulties. The old fan had been put in with little regard to due electrical process, so a number of things had to be changed and replaced that included a trip to an attic full of insulation material. He was very efficient, professional and did the extra work with a smile.

I called one day to make an appointment and the electrician - Tim - came early the next business day. He called to let me know he was on the way (as promised), and arrived on time. He got half way through the installation, which required two cable connections, when he told me he didn't have enough cable for the job. That was ENTIRELY my fault, for providing an incorrect measurement when I set up the appointment. However, Tim gave me an option. To keep the final cost as close to the estimate as possible, I could run to a hardware store and get the additional cable myself while he continued to work, so he wouldn't have to charge me for the trip and extra time. Off I went to the store. He finished the job in less time than I anticipated. He left the two breakers he removed in case another goes bad down the road, and came back later for the excess cable. He was professional - and patient!

Allen was running about 20 minutes late (traffic) and called to let me know. He arrived, surveyed the layout and started in the hallway. Success. He then started in the kitchen and recommended a better layout of where I had originally suggested. His reasons made sense to me and we went with his suggested location. Several trips to the attic and the wiring was complete. Lighting scheme was as good as I had expected. Allen was professional; cleaned up the job site and even offered some advice on under-counter lighting to consider as I'd not made a choice yet for that part of the kitchen renovation. He even told me how to hook up the ceiling fan I was going to install at a later part of the renovation. One episode of the day was not foreseen - when he cut the ceiling template out for one of the "cans", he stirred up a bunch of ants that were apparently living in the attic. I wasn't aware that I had some ants in the house, but now am aware to investigate an exterminator.

They did an excellent job. They were very friendly and quick. They were able to get someone out there asap to fix the electrical problem. We will definitely use them again.

Initial Estimate. The initial meeting with Gary to discuss potential lighting solutions was very informative and professional. He answered all my questions concerning the level lighting and what solutions would work best for my lighting needs. I had already decided on recessed light, I just didn t know how many I would need. Gary helped me to finalize that decision. 1st Service Visit: I was having granite installed in my dry bar area and I wanted an electrical outlet added before the granite was in. Gary was able to accommodate me and had a technician come out and do this. He didn t charge me for this additional service visit which I though was great. 2nd Service Visit - On the service visit, Alan came out to continue the job. He completed the kitchen lights/dimmer, dry bar lights/dimmer, and pool table electrical box/switch. I am very happy with the kitchen, Alan minimized the amount of drywall he had to cut into and cut the drywall at an angle so I could repair it easily. He also completed the dry bar and pool table light with no drywall repair needed. The workmanship was great and I am very happy with the results. Potential Problem/Emergency Visit. I was unable to be there for the completion of the 2nd service visit. When I got home my house was very warm and after some investigation I saw that the circuit breaker had been tripped. When I reset the breaker the A/C did not come back on. I went to look at the dry bar and pool table light (which is in the same area as the furnace) and everything seemed to be wired correctly (nothing was daisy chained off the furnace). I sent an email to Gary that night to inform him of the situation and he said he would get someone out the next day to take a look. Gary actually came out himself to take a look and found the switch to turn the furnace on/off had a short. The wire had come out and split the plastic on the back of the switch and caused the breaker to trip. Gary replaced the switch free of charge. My theory on what happen was that when Alan was working down there, while doing the other work, between hammering and what not; the wire came out of the little slot. You see, the homebuilder did a poor job of installing these switches by not securing them down with the screws; they just inserted the wires into the slots in the back. This doesn t hold up well to vibration and other work being done. I was very happy with how Gary took care of the problem when they weren t directly responsible for the issue to begin with. The homebuilder should have never hooked up the switches that way to begin with. Had the homebuilder done that, there wouldn t have been a problem. Again, I was very pleased that they took care of the issue when it wasn t their fault.

Our experience was excellent. The company was responsive to our initial call; we contacted them on Monday after business hours. They called us Tuesday morning and set up an appointment for Thursday morning. They said the service technician would arrive between 7-9am; he arrived at 8am. The technician was great and friendly. He even installed an attic fan for us, something we didn't have planned for the visit, but he noticed that we didn't have one. He completed his work by 2pm and everything works perfectly. He even cleaned up after himself; you would never even know he had been there. The bill was cheaper than we expected, which was a fitting end to the whole experience! We would definitely recommend this company to anybody needing any electrical work completed.

Certified had just installed a new electrical line to the pump and hooked it up the week before. It ran for a few minutes and then shut off. It seemed like an electrical problem so I emailed Gary around 7pm on a weeknight asking to have someone come out as soon as possible. He emailed me back around 9:30 pm asking what time I could be home to meet someone the next day. We agreed on late afternoon. Gary, himself, showed up late that afternoon saying that he didn't have anyone free but had promised me that someone would be there, so he was going to be the one. He checked out the prior work and determined that the pump had burned out for reasons unrelated to the work they had done. Again, very knowledgeable and professional, and the BEST customer service!

One of our circuit breakers kept shutting off after we had some renovations done to our home. This breaker was connected to our water heater and our hot water would not stay hot. I called Gary, after seeing the company listed on Angie's list and realized he had done work for the company I work for. They were prompt, friendly and efficient. They fixed the problem by moving one of the wires that was on this circuit to another breaker. The circuit breaker hasn't tripped since the work was completed. They also replaced a bad electrical receptacle in the kitchen. I plan to have them replace our electrical panel in the future.

Gary came out to give us an estimate. He emailed it to me within minutes. It was very reasonable. He then followed up with an additional email about scheduling, which he could offer the next day. I couldn't schedule that week so I told him that I'd get back to him. In the meantime, the company sent me a refrigerator magnet and thank-you note for my inquiry. Gary sent another follow-up email at the beginning of this week and we scheduled for today. The work was done well, the technician was very respectful and the price was within $50 of the estimate. I received another email from Gary late this afternoon asking if everything was satisfactory. This company operated like they have written the book on customer service. I would gladly recommend them and use them again.

When I called, a receptionist took my information and said someone would return my call. Gary, the scheduler, returned my call promptly, offered me an estimate over the phone, and scheduled the work for the following week. The electrician, Alan, called 30 minutes before his arrival. I found him to be very personable and professional. Even though he ran into a few problems -- a double ceiling that required extra sawing and an unexpected joist -- he handled each situation with ingenuity. After a very long day (he finished close to 7 p.m.) he vacuumed the entire living room and dining room. We have to patch the ceiling where he moved the chandelier, but I'm very pleased with the work.

We contacted this company because our contractor forgot to include electrical (lighting) for a new portico that we are building. Arlington County required a permit for this, but it was not in our building permit already approved. Certified Electrical said "no problem" and got all of the necessary permitting done at the same time as they did the work. They came out that week and completed everything in one trip. The guys even gave us an estimate on some additional work we were looking to do. We were extremely pleased with their responsiveness and professionalism.

I had used them a few years ago as they were very professional and prompt. For this particular service, I was not as pleased. First of all, upon contacting them, they required a credit card number. This was to assure they were financially covered if I were to cancel the service. I found this very odd, but went ahead and gave it to them as I wanted the ceiling fan installed. Their pricing was the going rate. The employee who completed the installation had only been with the company for two weeks. He did not represent the company in a clean manner.

They didn't ground the box properly so it didn't pass inspection the first time. They fixed it so that it would have passed but it seems like something they should have know the code rules for and done the job properly the first time.

WELL THE WIRE SYSTEM IN THE HOME WAS OLD AND THEY CAME OUT AND MADE MATTERS WORSE. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THEM. THEY WERE NOT PROFESSIONAL. I CAN NOT REMEMBER PRICE. BUT BAD BAD BAD.
