As described above, it went very well, and I will hire again, without bid-shopping other providers.
Description of Work: some rewiring an older home, plus addition of outlets, switches, and light fixtures. Plus diagnosis and fix of garage electrical issue. Came on time, professional, made cost-saving suggestions, did the work quickly and cleanly. And, Their's was the only reasonable estimate for the work (half that of the highest bidder). Recommend without reservations.

My family goes way back with using Bohnet Electric. On numerous occasions I have taken broken lamps to them and had good success with them. They have a store where they sell beautiful lamps of all kinds and they are specialists in repairing lamps. Today I have two problems that require an electrician to come out to the house. When I renewed my membership with Angie's List this morning, I then received a list of recommended electricians in my area. Bohnet Electric is on that list. I had not previously known Bohnet would come out to the house and do electrical repairs. I was over the moon to find the name of this company that I know and trust. They are coming out this week to begin taking care of my current problems here in my apartment and I am relieved to know it's dependable, skilled, honest people on the way. Thank you Angie's List and please publish my recommendation! Please note your grid below only allows me to click on either work done in my home OR work done at provider's location. I have had work done at provider's location and this week they are coming out to do work in my apartment, so the correct answer is - both.
Description of Work: Several visits to their store for lamp repairs at different times over the last summer.

Excellent. Timely, very professional. Would use this company again and have recommended them to others. Pat Bohnet was involved with the job from the beginning to the end. Excellent master electrician and staff. Forget to indicate initially, that when Pat Bohnet gives his word, he keeps it and that is very important to me.

Well, at first I was convinced it was the circuit breaker. Its an old pushmatic. They came out replaced it and it worked for a few hours. Then he replaced it again, as the first one was used and then load tested it, worked fine. Blew again next day, Wouldn?t reset at all. I was kinda frustrated so had a friend come over who said: it wasn?t the breaker now because it wouldn?t reset it all. Mr Bohnet had told me this was a possibility right off the bat Today, Mr Bohnet and assistant came out and spent quite a bit of time tracking the short down. It was from an attic fan that had been taken out and hte switch for it was left live. He said its best when the short isn?t intermittent to tell whats going on. Its all fine now. My out of town family has arrived and we have power in their bedrooms! BEST PART? When I got my check book out, he said, ?Merry Christmas? no charge.

Response from Bohnet Electric Co
Hello, Sorry to be so long responding to this, Angies List no longer sends us e-mail updates of new reviews. I am curious as to why you were pleased with your service, gave us good reviews in some areas and would use us again, but had, what looks like a bad customer service issue? We pride ourselves on excellent customer service and I always want to hear if some one is not pleased so that we can address these issues. Please feel free to contact me, personally, with any concerns. Thank you, Steve Bohnet

I had this company scheduled at 3:30pm on 3/17/2014. The company was over 2 hours late. I had to call the company and find out where the electrician was. Now, when I spoke to the electrician a week before, he did mention he had another job on 3/17, but would swing over at 3:30. A call would have been nice when you are running late. When the electrician finally showed up, he did a walk through that lasted only about 5 minutes and promised me a quote on the cost of the upgraded service. It is now 3/25/2014, no call and no quote. I have been in the IT service business for 13 years and never was late to a customer's house or business. We have looked into another company.

I have yet to hear from them with respect to work I would like to have done. They are a neighborhood business. I would love to do business with them, but I cannot wait indefinitely for them to grace me with their presence. How can I give them a good grade if I can't get them to even acknowledge that I'm a customer (or would be).
Description of Work: They won't call back. I've used them before and it in near impossible to get them to put you on their schedule. You have to keep calling and calling until somebody takes pity on you and puts your request on the top of the old man's pile first thing in the morning. They have no scheduling system. Their only electrician, the grumpy old man who owns the business, just grabs the first few items off the top of a stack each morning and does them (their words, not mine). It's last in, first out. On the plus side, if grumpy and meticulous go together, I guess I'd rather have the grumpy electrician than not.

my lamp was a hurricane lamp that my grandfather had converted to electric from oil. The guys at Bohnet had to do some "creative" work to get it wired to operate 3-way and without worry. They were about as tickled with the lamp' old wiring system as I am pleased with the new. not that I think they overcharged---i'm just a penny-pincher. (kinda hurts to spend on things I COULD go without sometimes)

It went very well. The Bohnet service people were very professional. They removed the old chandelier and installed the new one without a hitch. We were most impressed about the service on our bathroom exhaust fan. It was quite noisy and, rather than quickly selling us a new costly fan, they analyzed the situation and cleaned the fan blades and housing. The noise level is now acceptable and we didn't have to buy a whole new fan.
Description of Work: Installed a new chandelier over our dining room table. Also repaired a bathroom fan.

I contacted Bohnet Electric to provide me with a quote for some electrical repairs in my rental unit via email. I received an email the next day and set up for a time to meet for the quote. I live outside of the state that my rental unit is in so I wanted to be there for the walk through. Pat was not able to make the initial apt but did the walk through with me on the phone while my tenant was home. He worked well with my tenant, and was able to complete the repairs around her work schedule. He even took my ceiling fan back to their shop to repair that so I didn't have to replace it! I would definitely use this company again. They included me in all the decisions and didn't mind me sending a check in the mail for payment. I found it very easy to work with them even though I'm out of state.

We're very happy with him. He did more than he said he would. The only thing is that he's very busy but he did great work and I like him a lot. I like that he's affordable, he's very good at what he does and that he's reliable. We had 2 quotes done and he was the lowest bid.
Description of Work: Bohnet Electric Company came out in July and provided electrical services. He added 2 recessed lights in the office, installed some light scones for the exterior of the house. They provided the fixtures, so I didn't have to buy those.

Once on site, the two worked quickly and efficiently, and not only installed a new outlet for us, but swapped out two dial switches for bathroom fans and switched our ceiling fan to independent controls for the fan & light. In all, they were there 75 minutes and completed all the work to our satisfaction.
Description of Work: We purchased a house without an outlet in the master bath. Called on Wednesday 4/17 in the afternoon; he called me back on Thursday morning and set up a time to come in the afternoon. He was great about calling when he was en route so that I could leave work to meet them, instead of giving me a "window" on when he projected he would be there.

I'd give Bohnet Electric an A+++++++ if I could! I emailed Bohnet Electric at 8:15 AM on 03/06/2013. They responded promptly at 9:18AM the same day saying they give free estimates and they would send someone to the house as soon as possible. Pat came out to the house and quickly looked at the work that needed to be done and gave me an estimate. He was very courteous and professional. The house is a rental in the city of Lansing, MI and I needed the repairs done quickly to comply with city code. They used the lockbox on my door to get into the house to do the work so I didn't have to leave work to let them in. Shortly after they did the work, I went on vacation. When I returned from vacation, I stopped over to the house to check to make sure all of the work was completed. Everything worked/looked great! I am VERY pleased with the service. I would definitely recommend them.
Description of Work: Restored power to the garage. Fixed light fixture at front entrance of house. Fixed light fixture at rear entrance of house. Corrected outlets that had ground/hot reversed. Put outlet covers on outlets. Installed new smoke detectors.

The antique table lamp would no longer turn on with the chain pull and the socket attachment was falling apart The lamp were repaired in a timely fashion. This was an antique lamp which I very much liked and didn't want to have ruined by using a modern electrical plug. That didn't happen. The lamp still looks antique! I have used Bohnet's before and wouldn't trust a antique lamp repair to some one else.
Description of Work: They fixd an antique lamp-rewired. It now works well and still look like an antique which is what I wanted. I was very pleased with the professional job that was done. I have usd them in the past with similar results--very dependable.

I lost electrical power to my living room outlets. I called Bohnet Electric at 2:30 pm. Pat arrived at my house at 2:55 pm (he fit me in on the way to another job) and he had the problem diagnosed and fixed by 3:10 pm. I just don't think service gets any better than that! Would definitely recommend Bohnet Electric to anyone.
