Beacon Electric

Only had half power in the house on Tuesday morning and contacted Consumers energy. They confirmed I had a bad leg in my meter and it had to be repaired by an electrician. Contacted Jim Sieklucki of Beacon Electric on Tuesday morning, Jan 28 and he arrived in the afternoon to assess the repair needed. He called back later that afternoon with a quote and said he couldn't perform the repair until Thursday afternoon when it warmed up a little. He showed up Thursday afternoon, performed the repair in the still cold weather and had things back up and running in 2 and 1/2 hours. Jim was very professional, had to work outside in adverse conditions and cleaned up the area after job was complete. Would highly recommend him for anyone and I have also asked him to quote for work to be done in another house.

Jim showed up on time, with all of the parts and equipment needed. Day long job, but everything was done in one visit. New box and wiring looked very good and has performed flawlessly since. Our old box was a real mess inherited from past owner. We doubted anyone could straighten it out without massive rewiring, but Jim did the job.

Jim showed up on time to give me an estimate on the work I wanted done. Although, he didn't write everything down, he remembered the work I wanted completed in my house. Once again, Jim showed up on time, completed the work, and cleaned up after himself. He had to come back because he needed another part but called to verify that I was home and came out to install the part he needed. I did not have to pay until the job was completed. Jim also mentioned that his work is guaranteed and if I had any problems, not to hesitate to call him. He also is very careful to make sure his work is done to code. When he took the fan out of my office and installed a light, he mentioned that I could have had a fire with the way the fan had originally been installed. Jim was professional and I would call him again if I needed any electrical work done in my house.

Jim stopped by for an estimate, spent time discussing what we wanted done, and was very friendly and professional, however, he never followed up with an estimate let alone a phone call.

Our experience with Beacon was a mixed bag. When I first called Jim, I told him I needed work on the switches and outlets mentioned above and he said he would be here at the end of the week. A couple days later he called to say he was backed up on a job and wouldn't be able to get to me until the end of the next week. That was understandable and I appreciated the notice. At that time I told him we would like him to change 2 light fixtures and the bath fan while he was here too. He said OK. When he got here, I showed him around and he said, "Well you have more than I thought you did. I will have to come back tomorrow with another guy." This was mildly frustrating as I'd cleared my schedule to be home that day and I had told him about all of the things we wanted done between the 2 phone conversations we had. That next day he had to cancel due to a serious health issue--totally understandable!--and he came at his first opportunity the next week. He and his assistant were right on time, did all of the work and were even able to fix our bath fan instead of replace it, which was great. Really happy with the money saved. He had to change the configuration of the switches on the wall for the bath fan/light/heater and did not have a switch plate to go on it and he would be back that day or the next with the switch plate. Great, no problem. The next day he came and put the switch plate on while I had new flooring being installed. I was outside with my young children, keeping them out of the way, so I did not know he was here. He popped his head outside to say, "I got your switch plate, you're all set." Later when I got inside I realized, he installed ALMOND switches & switch plate when not 6 inches away, on the same wall, I have another switch/outlet combo that is WHITE. Not only that but he left a divot in the drywall that the switch plate is not covering that my husband had to patch. Within a day of the work being done, my range hood stopped working, on the same circuit as one of the GFIs we had installed. Another electrician advised me that it was probably related to that. I had to make a couple of calls to Jim to get him to come back out, but when he did, he discovered the problem was that someone had spliced something in the wall (creating a fire hazard) and when he installed the GFI, the splice came apart, which caused the hood to stop working. He was generous in pricing this 2nd service call.

They came right away(on a Saturday) but could not fix the problem until the following Monday. The work was good but I thought they were a little hogh on the price.

Glad we chose Beacon Electric and we will do so again for any electrical needs.

I am very pleased with their work. They are very friendly, fair, prompt and professional. They guarantee their work, and I would not hesitate to call them again, or recommend this company to my family and friends.

I was very pleased with the professionalism and quality of the work performed and I will definitely hire this company again.

Jim checked breaker box and wires in basement and located problem in upstairs sun room. He disconnected plug so the breaker wold stop tripping. Job is half completed. Wire is underground and needs repair in spring.

The electrician offered to come the day I called, but I needed to set it up for a couple days later. He arrived right on time and assessed the situation. He had the necessary replacement switch with him. My problem was completely taken care of with that one service call. He is a pleasant fellow who was very professional in my home. I would recommend him to anyone.

Great! I thought we would need a lot of rewiring, but Jim was able to solve the problem quickly and save us time and money.

Had an estimate done to redo some electrical, very next day he came in and did the job. Very reasonable prices and very professional. I would call them again for sure. Others charge double or triple, dont bother calling anyone else but Beacon!

Jim was very good with communication and quality of work. He was also very gracious by working with some materials provided by me to save cost. He was able to provide a quote and start the job within days of initial contact. Very good experience overall!

Due to weather it took him longer than estimated. Even though it took him several more hours and an extra trip he stuck to the original quote for the project. I would recommend him to anyone needing electrical work done.

Jim was very quick to come out and give an estimate. After getting a couple of other estimates, his was the most reasonable. I was a little concerned at first because he did not write anything down while he was here for the estimate but after we decided to hire him and he came back for another walk through, he impressed me because he remembered everything we talked about. Jim was always very responsive to phone calls and e-mails. He made good suggestions and was very careful about always following code. He always showed up when he said he would. I would definitely hire him again and recommend him to anyone looking for an electrician.

Very happy with this experience. Jim was punctual, polite, friendly, reasonable. Charges matched his estimate, and he gave us $10 off with Angie's List coupon. Would highly recommend.

Jim was very professional and I had great faith in his ability. He even collaborated with me on the preferred height of both chandeliers, having installed many of them. He knew the standard height for chandeliers, but was very good at determining, with me, what looked the best in my rooms. He answered all my questions and concerns patiently and thoroughly.

We needed a creative solution to a problem. As I indicated above, I am more than satisfied with the service, and would highly recommend Beacon to others. I will always use them now. Ken

I called Jim on a Monday or Tuesday and he came out to give an estimate Thursday. From when I first talked to him on the phone I was impressed with his professionalism -- he let me know a couple details about what the project required (such as GFCI and a 20-amp circuit vs. a 15 amp circuit because I would be putting a chest freezer on the circuit). The next day he came back to do the work, which he finished in the estimated amount of time (1 hour). The job was a very simple one, but I was still impressed with his attention to detail. Jim was perfectly punctual.

He was on time, listened to what I needed and went right to work. He did an awesome job. He cleaned up the room when he was done. He picked up after himself. Tested all the work. I will be calling him every time I need some electrical work done.

Jim was prompt, did exactly what we asked, cleaned up nicely, and was very personable. Everything works great and the switches are much more usable now. We were very pleased and would call him again if we had additional projects of this type.

Excellent - will call him again! Story as above...

Excellent job. Very professional. And Jim is a nice guy.

After I found water dripping from my circuit breaker panel I got two different reasons why so on my third try I called Beacon Electric and they told me over the phone what the reason might be and a ball park figure to fix it. I had them come out to see first hand and what they told me over the phone was the same except the price to fix everything went DOWN. They came the next day on time and fixed everything in the most timely manor and saved me over $600.00 from the other guy. Now I feel so much safer in my home and I had no idea that water was coming in my breaker box for such a long time I would and do recommend Beacon Electric to everyone!
