I think you are confused because I came back on 6/16/14 to install a 50 amp circuit for your heat pump for your built in pool and I thought you were pleased with my work. Thank you for the review.

Reliable and prompt!
Description of Work: Replaced Ceiling Fan Bob and his helper replaced the ceiling fan and light kit in my kitchen. The fan was purchased from Lowes but their installer couldn't fit in the installation until after New Year's. I called Bob on Friday and he gave me a fair flat rate price and told me he could be here on Monday morning. He arrived promptly and installed the new fan quickly and cleanly. I will definitely use him for my future electrical needs.

Description of Work: Problem with one circuit in home. no power in app 10 outlets, switches, etc. Called Sun , Bob said he would be there on Mon. app 4:00., or earlier, if possible. Very courtroom and professional on phone. On Mon., around noon, he called and said he could come over now if we wanted. He arrived in a half hour, went right to the problem, checking many sources. He f faulty outlet and replaced two boxes and all was well. Total time was app 1 1/2 hours, which I considered very appropriate for what was accomplished. He also explained everything he did!! The $190 fee was less than quoted by another company. And on top of this gave me a $15 Angie discount! I have found an electrician that is efficient, timely and priced right! I will definitely do business with this gentleman in the future! If you live in Harford county, save your time and call Bob when you need an electrician! Thank you Angie, also!

Description of Work: A light can in my stairwell came apart when I tried to replace a bulb. I called and Mr Helms came the next morning. It turned out to be a simple fix and he was done in a few minutes. He apologized for having to charge a minimum fee of $90. With the discount coupon, it only cost $75. He was very courteous and professional.
