We appreciate the review as well as the business. Prior to arriving to this job all we were told was the furnace was not working and a few outlets were not working as well. The gentleman's dad was not very fluent in English when I explained the issues that were taking place in the residence. After we got into the issues I found several fire hazards that had already melted multiple receptacles which I explained to the homeowner. There were 7 people living in this home and of them 3 were in wheelchairs so of course all of these problems had to be addressed. When there are electrical troubles in a home they can take minutes or even hours to fix dependant upon the issue at hand. When our business is asked to fix a problem at hand we are going to do so. I'm bilingual but of course I cant communicate with everyone I explained the bill thoroughly to the homeowner after he received the bill from his dad and he was still dissatisfied. I'm sorry but I will not leave a unsafe environment when we are called to fix issues.

Derek and Brandon are professional, personable and punctual. They got right to work, finished in just about an hour and cleaned up thoroughly before they left. Having dealt with many contractors over many years of homeownership I can say that these young men were a joy to have come to my home and get this work done. I have only been able to say that a few times over the years. I recommend them to you without reservation.
Description of Work: Installed a dedicated 20AMP circuit for a hot tub and a 30AMP circuit for a travel trailer hook-up in the backyard, both on the exterior of our home. This was on a Angie's List 'Deal" for 2 man-hours of work for the $89. A GREAT DEAL! I provided the materials so all that had to be done was the installation, thus saving the labor time that would have been charged for them to go get the materials.

I was impressed and pleased with this company throughout the service. The woman that I initially spoke to was very pleasant on the phone. She let me know that I would be receiving a call soon from Derek. I appreciated that Derek, one of the electricians who would be doing the service, called me back to set up the appointment shortly after I made the initial call?they were able to come out within a couple days. He called to confirm that they were on their way the morning of the service and they were on time. Derek and Brandon were both very polite and professional as well as generally pleasant, friendly people and were very kind to my dogs who were being somewhat pesky during the service. They clearly went over my inspection list, as well as discussing some other upgrades that we were considering and explained everything to me, giving me options and recommendations as well as being willing to explain things to my husband by phone during the service. Although it was unnecessary in my house, I appreciated that they wore protective shoe covers (which were awesome giant Croc-like shoes) each time they came in the house even though my floors were quite dirty due to the muddy pawed dogs?I know that a lot of people would appreciate how neat and tidy they were in all of their work. I felt that they were very thorough and efficient and easily worked around various things that were going on in the house as well as carefully moving things to get to what they were working on. There was much to do to address everything on my list, including a lot of troubleshooting with some fuses that had been getting blown and they seemed to do everything in a very orderly and organized fashion. I also appreciated the very neat writing on the job invoice and estimates for future upgrades?it was very easy to see what had been done and exactly what was paid for all of the materials as well as very clear to see what the future service would entail. The fridge magnet was a nice touch. Thank you for the great work.
Description of Work: We had a long to do list of things from the inspection report that was done before we bought our home. Derek went through the list with me and assessed and repaired or gave recommendations and estimates for future repairs that would be beneficial to upgrade our current situation and well as giving estimates for some other projects that I inquired about.

We were very pleased with the service provided by Derek and Howie of Buckingham Electric. We purchased a new home in Asheville and were eager to replace the dated lights in the home. I called on a Friday and was scheduled for the first appointment the following Tuesday. They were on time this morning and got right to work. Having two electricians on this service call meant that the work was completed quickly and efficiently. I will not hesitate to call Buckingham Electric when I need an electrician in the future.

They arrived on time. They had what they needed to do the job. They were polite and professional. I understood everything they said and they didn't talk over my head. Would recommend them and use them again.
Description of Work: We went with two of their offered deals and they included an unexpected run around town in the deal rather than charging extra for it. That is a big deal. It could have been extra, but they honored their offer. Excellent. We had our home completely looked over and an outside surge protector added. We've been experiencing whole house light dimming and needed to have peace of mind that it wasn't on our end. They checked crawl spaces and attic as well. They are also installing a larger breaker panel outside.

Two men arrived on time, after calling me, as promised, immediately went to work, after informing me that the two hours of work paid for in this Angie's List sale would actually be only one hour, as both men would be credited with an hour, each. They agreed with me that the bargain information should have stated this, and that Angie's List should correct this, in future. Even so, the workers were so professional and efficient, they managed to make the replacements, test them, and be finished well within one hour, fortunately for me. They had to use a very tall ladder which took skill, balance and experience. They managed all three with professional aplomb. They cleaned up after the replacements, gave me their cards, shook my hand and were on their way to their next appointment. I was/am utterly and completely happy with this firm, their workers, and their work. Superior in every way!

The two employees from Buckingham were efficient, cleaned up after themselves, and professional. We couldn't be happier with the price, their responsiveness, and professionalism. We will be sure to use them for all our electrical work and recommend them to our friends and family. Should you need electrical work, Buckingham Electric should be your first choice.
Description of Work: Two employees from Buckingham Electric arrived when scheduled and had to troubleshoot the issue of electric being out in several outlets. Within about 10 minutes, they had identified the problem. We had previously called two other electrical companies who were unable to identify the problem, much to our consternation. It was a GFI outlet that had tripped, but the interesting thing was that the outlet had been drywalled over. The workers cut the drywall, put a junction box in and moved the GFI outlet to a more accessible location. They also replaced a GFI outlet.

Derek, one of the owner's sons, gave me the estimate. Although it was not the lowest estimate I got, Derek assured me that he would insure that the appropriate permits were obtained and sufficient electricians brought in to complete the work quickly. On one day, I had seven electricians installing can lights, upgrading wiring and outlets and installing the underground service, ground and related panel. I oversaw international construction in my working career, and I can honestly say that Derek and the young tradesmen Buckingham brought to my job gave me a good feeling about the competence of the young workers we are producing in this country. They were as neat as you can be while doing a remodeling, honest about the difficulties they encountered and ALWAYS punctual! We will use these folks again---they are not the cheapest, but they are hardworking and as honest as you could hope to find!
Description of Work: Because of trees on my land, I had the electric service run underground and a new service installed in a 50's ranch house. Inside, I had can lights and gfi outlets installed/
