Kolb Electric

.

I did not receive the estimate as promised. After I sent a few follow up emails and left a number of voicemails I still did not hear from Wayne. I called one last time and reached Wayne on 9/20. He made excuses about why he didn't have the estimate and promised it by the end of the day. That didn't happen on 9/20 and I have still not received the estimate or any returned phone call from Wayne explaining the lack of response. I also sent a note to Kolb through Angie's List warning of the review I was about to write. There was no response to that either.

I found Kolb Electic/Frederick via HMS warranty. They performed all that needed to be done, very well. Lew, the manager, is really great to work with as well. Most recently, my AC circuit breaker tripped. I called them first to see what they thought it might be. They came out right away (the next day - first appt available). The tech replaced it and all has been well.

Had several estimates done before settling on Kolb, all the other estimates were much higher and more invasive to our house. The house is 100+ years old and we wanted to do as little damage to the plaster as possible. Fixed the wiring in the plaster ceiling in order to install a ceiling light while cause no damage to the plaster, even installing the light fixture even though the quote was just for preping the wiring (did not charge extra!) They also ran an entirely new circuit into a second floor office that has very bad wiring done by the previous owner. Kold disconnected the unsafe wiring and ran a new circuit, installing 7(!) outlets, two more than included in the estimate and still no extra charge. They also pulled Ethernet cables that my husband had sitting in a spool in the basement while they were pulling wires, again for no extra charge. They were on time, professional, courteous, they did a fantastic job, and they put up with my nervous dog who insisted on following them around the house the whole time. We offered to crate her and they said she was fine. I would effeminately hire them again!

They showed up precisely on time and did an expert job. Would highly recommend them to anyone!

Full disclosure - the intercom is old and hard to find. However, in June Kolb sent an electrician for the first visit, and while very professional, he took the broken part and never followed up. After several emails and phone calls about if and when it could be repaired, and in late July I received an estimate via email. My biggest complaint is that I had to call and see if they were going to complete the job. Meanwhile the intercom is missing the part that it needed to be repaired (it worked sporadically) so I have to buy a whole new system.

Ran new wiring to outdoors for hot tub. |The job took longer than expected. 1 person, several and quot;1/2and quot; days where most of the work could probably have been done in a single full day with a pair of guys.

Wendy from Kolb Electric returned the call within the hour. She asked several questions to diagnose the problem. She determined that the problem was likely with a 'broken leg' in the power feed provided by Pepco, and recommended that I call Pepco for service. She gave me her direct phone number and told me to call her back if Pepco was unable to help. I am very impressed with the company's responsiveness and assistance even though I do not have an account with them. I will definitely call them the next time I need electrical work done.

Kolb Electric was fine. They were on time. They did it correctly. The price was reasonable.

I'm pleased with their work. They're nice. We had used them previously, too.

It went well. The first person to come out was unable to complete repairs, so they sent another more experienced person. I was pleased with the results.

Project delays on our end caused problems but Kolb worked with us and got the job done. They showed up when they said they would and didn't waste time. Made suggestions and corrections as needed and approved.

Main Circuit breaker tripped about a week prior. I reset it and didn't think too much of it. Earlier this week main tripped in the middle of the day. Started to worry, was going to call electrician next day. Just after midnight it tripped again. Breaker was really hot. Called Royal Electric first thing in the morning and left voice message. They never called me back. Called Kolb Electric and they had a tech over to my house at 4:00 in afternoon. That tech was nervous about about the situation and said i needed an HVAC person. So since I had experience with Larry and Son and had a service contract with them due to a prior plumbing issue. I called them. From there everything went smooth and problem was resolved when they brought in a good electrician, Anytime Electric (Darrell Eby). Anytime replace the main circuit breaker and haven't had a problem since.

The service was good overall. They were prompt and complete in their service.

I clled was informed that the base charge would be 295 (approximately) because of off hours rate. They told me a techhnician would call me before he would arrive. He did indicated time of arrival and everything was on time. He was very professional and the charge was exactly as stated even though he had to provide me with a switch that had been blown

Kolb representative was friendly, helpful and performed good work in a short amount of time.

They have always shown up and did the job. They have provided the right products when I needed them, but they are a little expensive.

I was very very happy with them. They were professional in their estimate and they were here when they said they would. They kept in touch with me when they needed to about the issues that I needed to talk about. I would recommend them to others because they were very available, very responsive and did quality work. I love the guy who came. He was very nice. I would grade them A's on all categories.

There prices were very reasonable and they were very though. What I liked about there services is they were willing to come and and provide services.

.They did a great job and then he went around to make sure all my light blubs were working becasue some of them I wasn't able to reach. He went around checked them all and replaced the ones that weren't working for me. He was such a great person. Did a great job I would highly recommend him.

The experience was positive. Although there was some communication problem with when he was suppose to arrive. Would have liked the company to call ahead of time rather than after he came over and supposedly knocked on my door and then left.

I have mixed feelings about them. I would not recommend them to a family member. I had three electrical problems I wanted him to look at. He only solved one. I'm going to go back and use an electrical company that was recommended by Angie's List.

They were really good and responsive. The first time we called them was actually because there were several appliances out in the house so I figured there was something wrong with the electrical feed. They said if there were many appliances out then it's probably outside power and not inside power. They told me not to waste my money on them to come out and do an estimate but to just call the electrical provider and have them check it. That really impressed me that they didn't want to waste my money to come out here and take a look because they had already figured it was probably a problem with the outside which it was. It took them a little while to get the second estimate out to me. It took them about a week which was a little bit longer than expected but it was quite reasonable for the work that needed to be done. I just decided it wasn't going to be worth our time at that point to move the panel but I probably will eventually. Their prices were reasonable and it came about what I expected it to be.
