Regardless that everything on the internet said that equivalent halogen to LED bulb brightness is due to lumens-that is not true. It is way more complicated and deals with height, range of lighting and candle wattage. Able Electric owner Doug spent a lot of time researching the most efficient way to get the most brightness for our backyard while still being safe and affordable. The other electric companies weren't even aware of the issues. Doug gave expert advice on the technology and didn't try to sell us something that would be more expensive and still not work for what we wanted. Very ethical standards. Chris, the technician, was prompt, efficient and very easy to work with. He spent extra time to make sure the lighting was exactly where we wanted. Price was extremely reasonable also.
Description of Work: Replace 2x500 watt outside halogen fixtures with Super bright LED fixtures to illuminate very large backyard..

My sauna works now. I can turn the lights on/off and it appears I had the best option for under counter lights. He told me there is a lower voltage option on the bulbs and what to ask for/google. I like the honesty and professionalism I received. I would recommend this team to mom.
Description of Work: I needed an exterior grounded receptacle; sauna plug replaced, light switch repaired, and a recommendation as to whether to keep my under counter lights or replace them.

Everything that I requested and more was finished
Description of Work: I had lights that I did not work in the garage and an outlet that I thought was bad. The electrician replaced several switches in the garage, which allowed the lights to turn on. He replaced a rusted antique lamp without my requesting it. He found that the outlet problem was due to another outlet and showed me the electrical burning smell that was coming from the outlet. He saved my house from a fire. The costs for everything was approx $150 and he had a fairly long drive to get here

Keith from Able showed up to my home promptly and completed the job in a timely manner to my satisfaction. He was very professional and answered all of my questions and concerns and went through the process of how to operate the generator proficiently. I would definitely recommend Able Electrical for electrical services!

I first had Able Electric come out to install two pendant lights and a new dimmer switch. Keith did a great job. He explained each step along the way - options for location of switch, challenges with light placement. He kept his work area clean and vacuumed and wiped up the workspace before he left. He also gave me a quote for adding recessed lights to my kitchen. I was so pleased with his work that I quickly made an appointment to get the recessed lights installed. He came back with another electrician (Kenny) and they went right to work. Placement of the lights was not easy because of the number of ducts and pipes in the ceilings. I thought I knew where I wanted the lights but Keith pointed out that one of them would just be lighting the top of the fridge and two might cause a "helicopter effect" with my ceiling fan. Suffice it to say that, again, Able Electric worked quickly and efficiently and even put in a box in the one spot that was too shallow for a recessed light. So pleasant, so communicative and I would hire again.
Description of Work: installed two new pendant lights with new dimmer switch (1st visit) installed four recessed lights in kitchen (2nd visit)

The responsiveness and willingness to just do the right thing was impressive! Prior to calling this company, I called a different company I found on Angie's list to perform work on my rental property, and after a week and a couple of calls I never heard back from them. I called Able (just after business hours) and not only did they actually answer the phone, but the person I spoke with was willing to help troubleshoot first before coming out. His honesty in not just taking my money, but doing what's right (and the fact that answered the phone and did this technically after hours) was appreciated. It turned out he didn't need to come out, as the issue was a simple thing, but his patience and how knowledgeable he was spoke volumes.

I had a circuit in my basement that all the outlets on the finished side were connected to that all of a sudden stopped working. When I troubleshot the outlets, I had power but my voltage/current running between my "hot" and "neutral" were off (98volts vice 120volts). After spending a day troubling shooting the circuit, I finally gave up and contacted Abel Electrical. I contacted them on a Friday and they originally told me they would be able to come out the following Monday to take a look at it (which I was fine with). A while later, I received a call and was notified that they had a technician that could come out that same day since they had someone in the area and they were finishing a job early (awesome). Technician came out and found my problem in like 2mins (turns out I had a loose connection in the breaker box that was causing my issue). He made sure I was up to code, fixed me up with a new breaker, and ensured everything was working properly. They had me all fixed up within an hour. Super friendly service and very responsive. Thanks Abel Electrical, I will def be recommending your services to anyone needing a good electrician.

They couldn't resolve the problem the first time they came around so as a courtesy for free they sent somebody new next week hoping they would have better luck. Sure enough the person was able to find the buried junction box and resolve the issue.

An Able Electric estimator was supposed to come to my house on Aug. 25th at 1PM. I left work and came home to meet estimator. The "estimator" took about five pictures, was in the house less than five minutes, and said I would receive an estimate via email. Three weeks later I still have not received an estimate. I actually called about two weeks ago to check on the estimate. I even gave an alternate email address in the event there was a mistake. Three weeks later I still haven't heard back. What a complete waste of time. Sending someone to take a few pictures and leaving in five minutes is hardly a thorough review of the situation. Never receiving a quote after taking off of work is even worse. I found an alternate company who took the time to explain the process and even make recommendations. I will be using them instead. I guess Able has so much business they didn't need my little $2,000 job.

Response from Able Electrical Services Inc
[Member Name Removed], We use an application for estimates as soon as we realized you had not received your estimate we sent it the morning after that you questioned the status of your estimate on 9/1/2016. We made the site visit on 8/25/2016 The application stated that the estimate was sent on 9/2/2016 at 7:07 a.m. and was pending approval. There were (2) price breakdowns given (1) for $975.00 for 100 amp cable replacement and (1) for $1675.00 for the 200 amp upgrade. Is it possible the estimate is in your spam folder? Or was blocked? Or possibly wrong email address given. When I called you yesterday to apologize I once again verified the email address with you. I attempted to send you an email outside of the application used and after numerous attempts I received an error message from our server stating that the email I attempted to send was in the que to long (meaning failed after numerous attempts to deliver) So I can only assume that it was the wrong the email address. I am so sorry for any misunderstanding since it is not our intent to expend time and not get back with that person. We go out on free estimates continually that are way less then amount of work in your case. Thanks Doug

Called about it and told them I had checked the circuit breakers and all were on. They asked if a socket in the area had a insert in it that could be pushed labeled "Reset". Found one in the kitchen, pressed it and the electric came back on. As result, I didn't need the trip out and I saved $199.00 for the service. What's pertinent here is the time they took with me to coach me through "electric-language-ease" and resolve my problem over the phone. As a result, the resolution to my problem cost me $0.00. Zip, nada, nothing. Honesty is a real virtue in the maintenance business. These guys have my vote!

Perfectly! Outstanding customer care.
Description of Work: I called AES this morning and a nice lady by the name Karen answered the phone, she was amazing kind and caring and even though she told me that they were booked, but she took my information down and stated that she will call me if there was a cancellation. I got lucky and she called me back! She said, Ben will be coming to address my electrical issue!!! I just had Ben from Able Electrical Service here at my house today. Ben was amazingly knowledgeable, I had a fuse / circuit breaker that was tripped causing my bedroom lights and fan to go off.

This company and Ben & Karen gave me one of the Best customer service ever! I have not only lights on but in this heat I have my ceiling fan working.
