The provider was on time and very efficient. She was done with the task in 10 minutes. After the service call, my husband received a call from the provider telling him that the service was so brief that they were only going to charge half of their minimum for a service call. We were very pleased and will use them again.

One of my circuit breakers would not reset and outlets in my garage were not working. This was right after a snowstorm. Larry told me to unplug any outside electrical outlets that might be wet and to then try resetting the circuit breaker and to call him back. I did as he instructed and that solved my problem. He told me he was glad to be of service. I told him I was going to give him a good recommendation on Angie's List. Will definitely call him again if I need help with anything electrical. I'm very impressed that Larry was more interested in solving my problem than he was in making money. He didn't have to solve this problem over the phone for free, but he did.
Description of Work: Over the phone, Larry Touchet solved the problem and charged me nothing for the service.

Called and scheduled Provident Electric to perform electrical work on our house. I scheduled an afternoon requiring me to take off from work. Provident never called to confirm the visit the day before the scheduled visit. On the day of the scheduled visit they were to show up at my house between 1 and 5 PM. At 4 PM I called them and the woman on the phone said that they had an emergency and that she would call me right back to inform me when the electrician would arrive at my house. She never called me back and no one ever showed up to do the work.

Overall, we had a very positive experience with Provident Electric. Larry was early for our appointment, was professional, did a great job, cleaned up, and he even helped move a box inside from the front porch for me. We will call him again to do more electrical work at our home. He is highly recommended for someone wanting an honest, reliable Company.
Description of Work: We are very happy with Provident Electric. Larry is a true professional. He was on time, priced well, performed the work we requested, cleaned up, provided answers to electrical questions, and did a quality job. We have called Provident before and have been extremely happy with his services each time. I would recommend Provident Electric to friends, family, and neighbors.

They arrived on time and had all the materials they needed. They worked quickly, but did the work accurately. Larry asked me which of my outlets and lights I would like hooked up to the generator and even made sure all of them worked when he did the generator test. All in all a great experience and I learned a thing or two, as they explained some basics about electrical panels and how they worked.
Description of Work: Larry came out and gave me several estimates, all dependant on which model of generator I wanted to use. There was a good, better and best option. I chose the "best"option...it's slightly more than I need in the now and it's future proof. The generator arrived on time, as promised as did the crew. The work was preformed accurately and finished as promised and was only slightly delayed, but that was because BGE was late delivering the new upgraded gas meter. I am very happy with the company and the generator!
