Gunnar Electric Inc

It went very will with one exception, which was not the fault of Gunner. A ballast on one of the lights failed and they immediately returned and repaired it.

He came on time, knew what he was doing, dit it efficiently and safely, and checked his work. He took the time to explain what he did and answered my questions with courtesy and respect. He also gave me a bid on a solution to my desire to hook my generator to house circuits without using extension cords. He did not recommend it, explained why he thought so, and I agreed.

He was able to do a couple things but there were some he couldn't do. I ended up not having enough work for him to cover the entire 2 hours. But, what he was able to do went fine. I just didn't feel like he explained why he couldn't do some projects very well or that he was even that interested in doing them.

He did a good job installing the new outlets and since he had a little extra time he also switched the outlets that would be near the sink to the appropriate type. Switching the existing outlets wasn't something I would have thought about until after the sink was installed so I was glad for the suggestion. This was an Angie's List Deal so I was very pleased with the extra service at a discounted price.

The technician was very pleasant, prompt and respectful of our home. I had no trouble making the appointment . My impression of the electrician was that he took pride in his work .I would definitely use him again.

Individual was punctual and very professional. The work was done beyond my expectation and I didn't get surprised with any additional expenses. I will absolutely be using Gunner Electric again for my future electrical needs. I would feel confident referring Gunner Electric to anyone that is in need of electrical work.

I purchased an Angie's List Deal from this company. Unfortunately, I let the expiration slide by. I tried to call to negotiate something (anything) for the money I paid. Sadly, they won't return my calls to discuss. This unprofessional behavior is unacceptable. Oh well. There are plenty of other professional electricians who want work.

The electrician came and started the work early in the morning so that I could leave him to finish the work so I could attend a meeting I had scheduled. He finished the work and left me an invoice for the extra work, trusting me to pay it. The whole process went smoothly.

We were suprised to find that this was the problem outside of the atic and only related to a cable having been disturbed in the attic during the the insulation project.

Very professional! Great service! Installed the chandelier neatly and quickly. Also diagnosed the problem and fixed the kitchen can light quickly. Couldn't repair the outdoor lighting issue, but gave great advice on what we could do. Would highly recommend this company!

I used them through the Angie's Deal. He was really fast and thorough. He knew what he was doing. He just was very efficient. He was up in the attic looking for issues, and he did a lot of thorough checking and paid a lot of attention to what he was doing.

I purchased a coupon through Angies List for Two hours if electrical work. Installer arrived within time frame given. I explained everything I wanted done. He was unable to change chandelier in dining room because one of the rods was defective. He moved switch in bedroom, and then started recessed lighting. He advised me that the part in the tool that cuts into the sheet rock to make the opening for the light can loosened and hole drilled was too big. I had to go back to home depot and return the lights I wanted installed and buy larger ones while he waited at my house. He was at my home approx 3 hours and quoted me 332.00 I asked why since I had purchased two hours and he told me that it took him 2 hours to get to my house which was the trip charge. I don't remember seeing anything that advised of trip charge when I purchased coupon. After all was said and done, he forgot his folder which had the check I gave him for the work done. He didn't call or come back. I called the number listed on the invoice and left message. This was a Friday and I didn't receive a call back until Monday. Although he did an o.k. job, he left a thin slit on the wall where he moved the outlet. It is minor, but will have to be fixed. I did not notice until after he left. I will not use Gunnar again as I feel the trip charge was really high. In reality, the 2 hours I purchased only covered trip charge.

I had put up with horrible track lighting in my kitchen for years. Finally decided to add can lights but wasn't sure how it would work, or how many I could afford on my budget. Dolf from Gunnar Electric came to my rescue! He listened to my concerns, and suggested a much better plan than I could have. And he was able to install 6 lights for me, when I thought I could only do 3. Dolf was knowledgeable, considerate and innovative. If you need a personal lighting expert -- ask for him! LOVE my new lights!! Doing a happy dance.

excellent, fast and professional. would definitely use again.

I appreciate them coming out the second time and they did not charge me for the second trip fee which I thought was nice. I will use them again in the future.

Dolf was on time and courteous. He's got a sense of humor, and we got along great. I think he could tell that I was interested in what he was doing, so he took the time to explain what he was doing and why. First, I had him look at a light fixture that had sparked at my husband and left a black burn spot on the ceiling (scary!). He took it down and explained that there was no saving the fixture - that I'd have to pay quite a lot just to get it in shape to be replaced. It's certainly an antique, but it wasn't super unique looking, so I told him to make it so that I could at least put a bulb up there. He updated the plate/wiring (not sure what that's called), so that it was really easy to install a new one once we were ready. Then, I showed him around the house where all of the outlets were 2-prong, and he replace them with grounded, 3-prong outlets. Again, when I asked questions, he gave me very detailed answers and was a lot of fun to talk to. Lastly, we went through the basement. The house was built in 1919, and some of the wiring has been updated - some hasn't. We walked through the different areas of the basement, and he showed me the older stuff and explained its limitations. We looked at the newer stuff - just fine. He decommissioned an outlet on a wall I've since demolished completely. After all was said and done, I owned an additional $14 for parts. I learned a lot and would definitely recommend using Gunnar Electric - especially Dolf - for an electrician.

They over book their customers. They canceled a couple of times to move the appointment out further. They finality came and installed the outlet. I called them back a couple of weeks later to install another but they did not return my call. I tried for 3 weeks calling them back to get an appointment and price but never once did they call me back. I will not do business with them again.

Before I purchased the $119 for Two Hours of Electrical Work (Angie's List Deal) from Gunnar Electric, I called to get an estimate for the work. I talked directly with an estimator and she thought the job would take about two hours. I purchased the deal and called to make an appointment. I specifically asked to have an appointment on the same day that the electrician would already be in our area (to avoid "travel charges"). When the electrician arrived, the first thing he told us was that he had already used 30 minutes of our 2 hour block of time driving to our house. He worked for 1 hour and 10 minutes and completed the wiring of the two electrical boxes (but did not install the light fixtures). However, I don't think we'll use this company again because the electrician repeatedly complained about the "deal" we received, the fact that he left our kids rooms in an absolute mess (not putting plastic down to catch the mess when he drilled the holes in the ceiling), and because I feel we were shortchanged on the 2 hours of time we purchased.

Gunnar was prompt, courteous & professional. Arrived on time, easily handled the coordination with Minnesota Valley.

I called them and they would not answer my questions of how long projects would take so I could not figure out what I wanted them to do. Also, they never returned my phone calls.

It was not a huge job. They did what they said they were going to do and they did it on time. They did offer a better solution with their creative thinking.

I called Gunnar Electric Monday morning, December 20 asking for someone to replace an existing ceiling fan/light in the loft (granddaughter's playroom) of our townhouse. I knew it was close to Christmas but I hoped they would be able to send someone out within a week or two. I spoke with Faye who was extremely nice. She told me she would check the schedule and have someone call me. Shortly thereafter, Terry called me and said he could be here around 2:00 pm that same day!! Even though it was snowing and the roads were messy, Terry arrived on time and quickly set up his ladder and went to work. He was very nice and completed the task promptly. My granddaughter was very happy that evening and I would definitely use Gunnar Electric again.

It was approx 30 minutes after the window of time given, so i called to make sure i had scheduled the right day. It was confirmed yes, and I was told that the electrician was probably held up at the previous job. It was not a big deal, as i was home all day so as long as they would perform the work that day, i didn't care. The electrician arrived about 1.5 hours later than the window of time, but was very courteous and professional. I took about 5 minutes to explain what we wanted, and he quickly got to work. To my surprise, the work was completed in a little more than 1 hour. I had gotten an estimate over the phone and was told it would be approx $400 per light, and would probably take 1/2 a day or so, so the final bill came in at about 1/3 of the estimate. I elected to do my own cleanup, and also I'm going to do the final installation of the light myself, so I think this saved some time, but I was still really surprised at how fast it was completed. There was very little mess left also, and it only took me about 10 minutes to clean up afterwards. It would have been very easy for someone to take 2 or 3x the time to do the same job, charge me 2 or 3x as much, and i wouldn't have known the difference. I could not be happier with the way the work was performed, and the professionalism of the electrician that did the work. I plan to use Gunnar electric in the future for anything else i need.

Dolph came out to my house. It's not clear to me how to rate his electrical work, as I'm not certain what an inspection was supposed to look like. I was displeased with his careless and unprofessional activities. His carelessness and unprofessional behaviour was in that he put his tool box on the kitchen countertop (I asked him to remove it), he put his screw drivers on the countertop, he put his clip board with a metal protrusion on the countertop, he leaned against walls, walked on the carpet with his shoes after I asked him not to, he sat at the dining room table, he sat in a chair in the master bedroom, and he pressed his belt againt my sleigh bed and bent over with his full weight on it to access an outlet. I later discovered that there was scratches on the surface of the bed where he had pressed against it. I decided to call the company instead of just posting a bad review. I got a call from the service manager who expressed disbelief in my story. Then I received a call from the owner who wanted to see it. She arrived at my house with Dolph, even though on the phone she spoke only of herself coming to my residence. She insisted that I allow him to enter because he says that he never touched the bed. I asked him if he would change his story upon seeing the bedroom: he replied "No, I will never say that I touched the bed." I pointed out that he was wearing a different belt than the day that he came to my house. He replied that he owns no other belts. He grew angry and was yelling at me. I am not sure if his presense was meant to intimidate me. I allowed the owner access to my house. I asked her to remove her shoes, but she refused and did not put shoe covers on. She walked around the master bedroom in her shoes touching my bed all over. She pointed out other, minor scratches on the bed and claimed that they were similar to the ones created by Dolph. She then made a comment that basically translates to calling me a liar. She also commented that she doesn't have to make restitution as it cannot be proved that Dolph created the scratches. It is true that I did not take before photos. I didn't think that would be necessary. Why would a contractor touch my bed? A furniture repair man is coming to the house to repair the bed. His phone estimate is $75. I have decided that I am not interested in having further contact with this company, as each of my experiences has been very distressing. They have wasted hours of my time, which is more valuable than $75, have disrespected my property, and have disrepected me.

I talked with the owner of the business and was so pleased with our conversation that I did not look at other vendors. The price seemed reasonable, so I didn't worry. A while later, after our special order chandelier arrived, I called back. The owner seemed to remember the conversation and many of the details (about two months had passed in between). I reiterated what needed to be done and the owner got enough details and made suggestions to ensure a smooth job. For example, she suggested buying a new doorbell (at a place where we could return it) in case the doorbell had failed. The next day, Tuesday, I was called by the scheduler and scheduled the visit for Friday. Information I did not have the day before was then conveyed. The electrician arrived within the scheduled window. He was very good with my three and five year old while they chose to watch and ensured they were out of harms way (in case the chandelier fell, etc). He was good about measuring and making sure I was happy with the height of the chandelier. He was also very quick at diagnosing and correcting the problem with the doorbell. He made sure we put down towels to ensure our cream carpet did not get dirty and while he did not come in with a vacuum, he did a nice job of cleaning up.
