Orange Co building inspector came out and said everything looked great. I think this went much better than I even hoped for. These guys were great
Description of Work: Mike was a complete professional. He and his crew replaced my electrical panel, a light fixture and mounted my tv on the wall. They showed up at 7:45 and stayed until after 4pm. I never saw them take a lunch or even a break. It was a very hot day and no a/c made it so much worse. But there were no complaints from anyone. These guys worked their butts off. I just couldn't be happier with the professionalism, knowledge, work ethic and courtesy. I will (and have) recommended them to anyone and everyone.

Our difficulties were mostly in getting the estimate and work scheduled. Communications were slow and often incomplete. Fortunately we were home when someone showed up unexpectedly for the estimate. To their benefit, they were understanding when we made a calendaring mistake & had to reschedule. I was put off by being told they would let us still use the coupon even though the use date had passed. I was surprised because we had been working with them to get this one project done for a while before the expiration date arrived and the early communication delays were due primarily to issues within their organization.
Description of Work: We had a new ceiling fan box and new switch installed. Work seems well done & workers were very friendly/professional and cleaned up the area when the job was complete. Two hours was not enough to get the fan installed as well.

Mike arrived on time and worked for a solid 2 hours to find the issue. He was able to do some real good detective work and found that a receptacle that still worked was not passing the power forward. He replaced the receptacles and we were back in business.
Description of Work: I had a couple of receptacles in my living room that stopped working. I did all the homeowner level checks I could do, check the breakers, check the wires were still attached but nothing could track down the real problem.

spent time wisely and worked quickly.He arrived promptly, was efficient, polite, smart.
Description of Work: Assessed the ceiling fan with the broken lights. I went to Lowe's and purchased the chain repair kit at his instruction, he replaced it and the fan lights worked perfectly. While I was at Lowe's, he assessed the non-working front porch lights. He determined that the fixture was damaged and only one light in it useable. He moved it at my request to a little used side porch and replaced it with the fully functioning side porch light fixture.

Lisa (who answers the phone) is very pleasant and was able to get someone out the same day. The technician who came spent about 2 hours trying to diagnose the problem, but was unable to pinpoint the cause of the issue and fix the lights. He tested the fixtures and switches for safety and ensured us there was no safety or fire hazards. He was prompt, professional and polite. He did not charge for the visit because he didn't fix anything and referred me to call and make another appointment with the owner, Mike. I made another appointment, but I got a call from Lisa a few days later to reschedule. She was apologetic and since my issue was not emergent, I didn't mind. I had faith that Creative Electric's great Angie's List reviews would be spot on. When Mike arrived to assess the problem, (took about 45 minutes to diagnose) he walked me through the issues. He provided me with some very helpful info about my home's electrical, including things to be aware of for the future. The actual problem was able to be fixed by tightening some loose wiring behind a fixture. Again, Mike was helpful, explained things in a easy to understand way and I got an Angie's list discount! I would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Diagnose and repair non- functioning lights, tested fixtures, and assessed panel boxes.

Description of Work: They had to install an external electrical box so we could plug in the new hot tub on our deck. They communicated well before the visit letting me know when they would arrive for the service and did an outstanding job in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to use them again for any electrical needs we have at the house!

In one hour on day one, they installed customer-provided fluorescent light over kitchen sink and 2 light dimmer switches; then repaired a non-working phone outlet. In another hour, on a second day, the electrician checked various circuits we were worried about and provided and replaced one GF circuit interrupter and installed another to replace a non-GF switch in the circuit box. The electrician was prompt and professional, and the owner and Lisa in the office were very helpful. If possible, I would use them again (somewhat outside our geographic area, but their electrician who did the work lived nearby). Prompt, efficient and professional service provider.
Description of Work: Needed lighting fixture and 2 switches installed, along with an assessment of telephone outlet problem.

It went very well! He showed up right when they promised he would. He explained to me why the old ceiling fan wasn't working well (was installed incorrectly) and what he was doing for a better installation. Not only was the work done well, he gave me expert advice on how to handle other electric needs in my home in the future.
Description of Work: Indoor/Outdoor Ceiling Fan installed on porch, and recessed light fixture in bonus room.

Creative's performance was far above our expectations. Mike provided a line-by-line estimate, got the permit, bought all of the parts, performed the installations, and was ALWAYS responsive to our needs. Both Mike and his helper are First Class guys who wanted to perform the job promptly and CORRECTLY. And they did it in a professional and friendly manner. I have to make a special point about Mike's professionalism. Not only did he perform his obligations perfectly but he had to contend with the shortcomings and incompetence of other contractors. When progress came to a grinding halt because of a water leak created by the cabinet man, Mike had to work around this problem and did . . . with total patience. It is hard to write about how well things went when we had no bad electrical contractor experiences to compare to. Mike was Punctual, Focused, and Diligent. Further, there was never anything to clean up after he left and he stuck with the estimated price except when he completed one part of the job in less time that he charged us for. In that case, he adjusted the price. We recommend Creative Electric with great confidence.
Description of Work: We had Creative install lights in our kitchen [ceiling and under cabinet] and a number of security outside lights.

The power outlet where my frig was getting power died over night. I had to run an extension cord from the kitchen into the dining area. I called CreativElectric and they were able to come out and fix the problem. Which wasn't just the outlet I thought but another one on the other side of the kitchen. John came out and took the time to show me what the issue was. He was friendly and very professional. Lisa,Mike and John are the best and I really wouldn't work with anyone else. Thanks!!
Description of Work: replaced 2 power recepticals that had gone bad.

Creative Electris responded very quickly when we bought a $99 coupon. They followed up with a request for our requirements. I sent them photos of the problem. We scheduled an appointment.

We have a small laundry room and wanted to move the dryer to another short wall to allow more room to move in the laundry room. We struggled trying to find someone that would do a small job. The couple people who came out to give us quotes included work that my husband could easily have done and didn't break it out so we could choose the work we wanted done. We were getting quotes of $500 to $1000! We saw the Angie's List Big Deal for $99 for 2 hours of electrical work from Creative Electric. I called Lisa from Creative Electric to explain what I wanted done and she said it would be a perfect job for the $99 special. After I purchased the special, Lisa immediately emailed me and set up a time for John to come out and do the work within 2 days. John showed up - on time - moved our 220 line and explained to my husband what he was doing as he went along. Then John changed a light switch to an outlet for us. He still had time left and was gracious enough to help my husband lift a cabinet that needed to hang in our laundry room and it was too heavy for me to help with. John was helpful, polite, cleaned up and assured us that Creative Electric would be happy to assist us with a few other small jobs we have planned for the future. We we thrilled with the work that was done and Creative Electric is now our "go-to" company when we need electrical work done. Thanks so much!
Description of Work: Wanted to have our 220 electric line relocated/moved approximately 6 feet in our laundry room.

Description of Work: I uses Angie's Big Deal for two hours of work. They came and fixed my ceiling fan and hung a light fixture in the bathroom. The other work that I need done is more involved and needed an estimate. They came the same day and were prompt with that. Unfortunate that I cannot afford an upgrade at this time. but their estimate was thorough and very good.

I was very impressed. As soon as I purchased the Big Deal coupon I received an email from the owners thanking me for purchasing the coupon and letting me know how I could arrange an appointment. When John came in he was extremely professional, prompt and after discussing my projects with me he went straight to work. And he didn't lag between the projects either. He made the whole process easy very easy. He did a great job! And I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a quality electrician.

I called on CreativElectric after seeing them on Angie's List. Lisa was very helpful in scheduling a next day appointment. Mike came out to repair the bad switch and was kind enough to take a look at a couple of other items while he was here. Bottom line is you get fast, friendly service from these guys... with an Angie's List member discount to top it off! I would not hesitate to call on them for any future electrical needs. Thank you Mike and Lisa!

We had a great experience. The job took two separate days. Both times, Mike and John were on time and completed the job in less time than they anticipated and, in the first case, significantly under budget. They were able to come up with a creative solution to the outlet problem in our garage that saved us about $100. Overall, they completed the job for less than 50% of another estimate that we received. They were friendly and courteous. They were attentive to trying not to wake up my two month old son while he was napping. They were happy to provide explanations and problem solve with me. I felt safe and confident having them in our home. In both cases, they were able to come within one day of when I called to schedule the appt (the first time within a few hours!!!). We would highly recommend them and definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Mike and John replaced several faulty electrical outlets, installed two GFCI's in our kitchen, installed a smoke detector, insulated wires in our electrical box, and installed a new outlet in our garage for the garage door opener.

I called and they were here in less than two hours because, it turns out, that they were three miles away. The work was a little bit more involved than what anyone had anticipated but they still gave me the quoted price and the Angie's List discount, so that was terrific. There are other things I need to have done and I plan to use them again.
