Dan and Isaac did an excellent job. They reviewed problem, clearly explained the necessary steps to correct the identified issue and quoted me the cost, which was not expensive at all.

The job went very well. The electricians knew what needed to be done and did an excellent job. They switched out the old smoke detectors for some new without any problems. I would recommend Magothy Electric to anyone needing any electrical work done no matter how big or small the job.

I cannot say enough good things about Magothy Electric. They have achieved a rare blend of local, personalized customer relations with advanced technology, effectiveness and efficiency. I have hired them several times and their technicians are always personable, patient, knowledgeable, and extremely competent. Their pricing is straightforward and transparent. They are extremely responsive and their customer service is outstanding. I feel fortunate that I happened upon such an excellent home service company.

Great service, we had lots of work that needed to be done to make an old 1950’s house safe and up-to-date. Magothy team was thorough, on time, great to work with, and very professional. All work was explained for our 4+ visits. They will be our go to team for any future electrical needs. Magothy office team (thanks Becky) worked with us to get all needed inspections. Always kept us informed all along the way!!!

Estimate cost for outlet $380. Remove/replace a $1.29 light switch was $130. Total cost estimate was over $500. What a rip off. Cost me $39 for service call on Angie's list special.

Bought a house from a couple who either hired very bad electricians, or did their own electrical work. Either option was the wrong one. Luckily we had a very good home inspector and none of the following was a surprise to us. Through a few visits we've had Magothy, specifically, Rodney; 1. replace the wiring in our attic - all the lights and fans were daisy-chained through one circuit - it's no longer a fire hazard 2. rework the main panel that had shared neutrals, one of which was arcing in the box; 3. correctly install a light over the garage (badly installed light had evidence of burning on the wood below); 4. install a 4-prong outlet for a dryer; 5. add a whole-house circuit protector on the electric panel; 6. remove a badly installed 220v outlet that was also daisy chained through the attic lights. We have been impressed with the quality of work, and though I could do a few of the items above myself, given the issues we've already found, I will leave the work to the professionals. On the one occasion we've had a concern after the work completed (ceiling fan no longer operating after attic rewire) Rodney was back out the next day to fix the issue. On the first visit, Rodney came with all the paperwork for Magothy - license, insurance, bond information. On every visit we go through the work, receive the estimate prior to work beginning. Rodney and his assistants/coworkers (Braden and a newly hired electrician who's name I forgot) are on time, professional and personable. As are the office staff. I most often speak with Becky and yes we've had to talk so often that we're on first name basis. After our first visit, we signed up with Magothy for the service plan, and I do not regret this decision. Our next step is the whole house audit, and a plan of action to fix the rest of the problems we know are here.

They contacted me after the purchase I made, and we made an appointment. The appointment time was 12-2pm. The technician called me at 2pm and told me that he would be able to arrive in 45 minutes. This was inconvenient for me, so I cancelled the work.

No problems. Contacted Magothy Electric and set apt. Paul B. gave me a phone call indicating he was on his way and he showed up promptly as scheduled. He provided a little history of the company and provided his insurance and bond information which I very much appreciated. He then conduced an assessment of my needs, provided an estimate which I approved and then proceeded to perform the requested work.

I called to obtain information about their process for providing an estimate as I had received a ballpark estimate from another service provider also on Angie's List, and was informed that the only way to receive an estimate for my project was to have someone dispatched for $29 and could then choose to proceed with the project on the spot or schedule the work. The woman I spoke with was very pleasant, and explained that they charge per project no matter how long the project takes rather than per hour as other companies may do. I responded that as a single-income family with two small children, having to pay to have someone come out before even being able to gauge their price range in relation to the other estimate I had received, was prohibitive to us selecting them as a provider. No services were performed to evaluate them on, just simply disappointed with their estimate process.

He did a good job fixing the socket and the other work, but the price was a little high. He volunteered to do extra work for me in relation to my space heater and that was very nice of him. They seem like a good choice for bigger projects than I needed. I would use someone else only because I have smaller jobs.

The two men who came out were very courteous, and showed me their business license and insurance certificates. They used shoe covers and a mat so that they would not track dirt into my house. They offer prompt service, and they are punctual. However, I do think their service is expensive, and they have a service call charge of $69. Overall, though, I would give them an A.

I called five electrical companies and left messages but only Magothy called me back. Rodney was knowledgeable, professional, and resourceful. He explained everything clearly and was up front with policies and prices. He honored his estimate and even used the cutout from the ceiling drywall to make my patching job easier. Rodney also vacuumed up all the dust created by the job. If I ever have electrical work that needs to be done, I would call him again.
