After installing a part it still would not work. Steve was very fair about pricing to replace my old generator. And the replacement went without a hitch. He even took care of calling a plumber to re-fit the gas line which was included in the price.

I purchased the parts and the electrician installed everything. The electrician was prompt, professional and completed the work in a timely manner. I am very happy with the work and would recommend Control Electric to anyone who needs electrical work done. In fact, I have already given their number to a friend of mine who was looking for an electrician.

I bought a whole house automatic generator from Costco. But when I got quotes from various so called reputable companies to do the installation I found that they had two installation prices. One price was for if I bought the generator from them and then a second, much more expensive price for installing a generator bought elsewhere. These other installers were very arrogant and aggressive. I contacted Steve, the owner of Control Electric and he quoted me a reasonable price, regardless of where I bought the generator from. The crew that installed the generator were very friendly and professional. They did an awesome job and cleaned up after themselves. Steve visited the job site to make sure that I was happy with the job his crew were doing. There were a number of warranty issues with the generator and Control Electric handled the problem and made sure that the manufacturer resolved the issues in a timely manner. I have had the generator for two years now and Control Electric comes and does the scheduled maintenance without me having to worry about it. One of the best companies I have had the pleasure of dealing with regarding my home. I highly recommend them.

Contacted at the end of August for a generator estimate. Was told would receive within 10 days. We called again after 21/2 weeks and were told Steve was out of town and we should get an answer within a few days. Six weeks later,still no estimate and when we followed up, he just said he wasnt good at following through. Asked if We had gotten other estimates, then seemed surprised and offended that we did. Needless to say, we contracted with someone else.

It was a gift. They were professional. They cleaned up their mess, though there was hardly any. They did have to run the line through the house. Everything was done great. They were here and there were no problems with punctuality. They did a fabulous job and I didn’t have to sweat one thing or anything. They were in and out and it works great. We have never had a problem with it. I would recommend them to anybody.

I was having drywall replaced and decided at the last minute that we could use more lighting in that room. Control Electric was able to squeeze us in the following day so that we didn't hold up our drywaller. They were very professional and prompt. I can't remember the exact price, but it was very fair for the amount of work done and the cans provided. I will definitely hire them again for future projects.
Description of Work: Added new can lighting.

Owner Steve came out to our house promptly when I called for an estimate. He checked out our system and asked about any issues we had with our electrical system (nearly 60 year old house) and made suggestions to improve it. He thoroughly explained what he proposed to do. Steve got back with me quickly with an estimate which compared very favorably with another estimate I had gotten. We decided to go with his quote and he was able to schedule our work to be done the next week. The two electricians who did the work were punctual and did a good job, even coming back the next day to finish the job when it took longer than expected. They cleaned up after themselves and hauled away the old equipment and trash. I would call Control Electric again if I needed any other electrical work done.
Description of Work: Upgraded electrical service for our home from 60 AMP service to 100 AMP service to bring it up to code. Also, split a circuit in our kitchen and installed two GFI outlets in the kitchen.

I called Control Electric yesterday for some minor electrical work. Dan arrived at our home by 8:45 AM today as scheduled. He was able to complete all the tasks I had for him in about 3 hours. I thought when he came he would be giving me an estimate and would return to do the work at a later time. Needless to say, I was very pleased when all the work was finished by noon. 1. He fixed a faulty outlet for the garbage disposal. 2. He corrected a bad electrical job a previous owner had done which left wires exposed beneath the dropped ceiling in a bedroom. I now have a safe and aesthetically pleasing result. 3. He checked connections and replaced bulbs in track lighting thereby increasing its safety while improving effectiveness. 4. He added a light box to the center of another bedroom. Dan was very professional. He respectfully educated us on why the bulbs we were using could be contributing to problems with our track lights. We will happily use this company again and recommend them to others.
Description of Work: Several minor electrical repairs

The work went very well, and I believe I got my money's worth and an electrician for any future work.
Description of Work: My garage door would not open. I only have the door for the car to use so I couldn't get in at all. The electrician, Dan, came in 30 min. as promised, found the problem (a GFCI receptacle and an old refrig.), and suggested I get rid of the refrig. It was just waiting in the garage to be picked up by the electric company, but they wanted it plugged in. So the refrig is being donated to Habitat for Humanity ReStore. The electrician also changed the receptable behind my new refrig from a two prong to a three prong. Dan was excellent in all respects.

The job went without a hitch. The electrician always does very nice work. When he walks in you dont have to worry about a thing. He is clean, knowledgable, and never has a problem when doing the job. We had approximately nine cans put in the ceiling. Control worked with us on cost, telling us how we could save money, by tearing out the damaged ceiling ourselves, and having the cans installed before the drywall. This is the second time we have hired Control, and will have them back again to do more renovations.
Description of Work: We had recessed lighting put in kitchen. Wonderful job, helped us with placement, and friendly and courteous.

I solicited quotes from four companies that installed whole house generators. The Control Electric quote was the lowest quote for a higher quality generator. They came out and estimated my electrical needs and recommended a Kohler 20KW generator with an automatic transfer switch and remote monitoring from my computer. It was soon installed, programmed and tested and works correctly.
Description of Work: I chose Control Electric to install a Kohler 20KW whole house standby generator because of their professionalism, followup and price. They did everything that they quoted very efficently and quickly. The generator runs an exercise test every week and appears to be ready for emergency use. I am very satisfied.

Great. Steve came out and gave a free estimate when others where hesitant to do so because it was not a "Big" job. He responded quickly, and got the tech out to do the work the next day. Price was fair. Quoted me to install 3 junction boxes, but tech even replaced one already in place so all would be strong and new. Price was as quoted, and the work was done quickly with excellent quality, and left the space just the same as when he arrived. Would definitely call them again Dan came oiut same day and installed outlets into a junction box where appliances had once been hardwired. He purposely installed the outlet upside down to accommodate 90 degree plugs easier at floor level. He was quick, professional and affordable, just like the last time we used them. Excellent local company.
Description of Work: Installed 4 junction boxes in kitchen ceiling to replace old light fixtures with pendant lights. Called them again 4 weeks later to come out and install outlets in junction box where cooktop had once been hardwired.
The job went well. Steve from Control Electric is very experienced and takes pride in his work.
Description of Work: Electrical service entrance was installed for my new home. Main panel and some wiring done.

This work went exceptionally well! Steve, the owner of the company was punctual, very knowledgable and helpful in assisting us with the completion of our new basement bedroom. He was available to answer all of our questions and concerns. The electrician that did the actual work was an expert who easily and efficiently completed the scope of work as outlined in a very clear proposal. He also guided us through all of the electrical detail work that we would need to complete to pass the township inspection. It was very nice to work with such professionals.
Description of Work: Inspected all of the new wiring, boxes, connections etc. that we had installed in a new basement room. Control Electric added the new circuit breakers in our panel and made the wiring connections. They also installed a new smoke detector system which involved working up in the attic of our house, as well as in the basement, to replace the existing smoke detectors with new units that are all wired together and placed according to code.

I called Steve from Control Electric and discussed my project with him. He set it up for one of his field electritions to come over and perform the work. They showed up when promised and completed the work in a professional manor. When the bill came, it was in line with what we had discused on the phone. I had used Control electric on another home I owned 15years ago when we put on an addition and extensivly remodeled the remainer. He did an excelent job then too!
Description of Work: I had a 220V electrical line put in for the dryer, direct from the control panel. Control electric found out why the living room sconce lighting was not working due to a previous electrition's (some one other than Control Electric) miswiring of an outlet in the bathroom and corrected it. They also put in a TV cable and outlet for a flat screen TV above the fireplace mantle.
