We have been working with Jeff for over 5 years and he always does a great job. This most recent job was part of a kitchen update. We had one flourecent light and one light above kitchen table. Jeff had to start from scratch as we put in 9 LED ceiling lights, under cabinet, puck in cabinet, pendants over island, dishwasher, stove, microwave in island, range hood. The lights are all 3 way or 4 way with multiple switches. Cost of light fixtures was separate and purchased from Lighting and Bulbs.
Description of Work: Electrical for Kitchen including new can lighting, under cabinet, appliances.

Went great. This is the not the first or last time we will use Big C.
Description of Work: Hanging a Flood Light outside. We wanted the light and dimmer switch on opposite sides of the house so Big C had to wire everything. In the past Big C has done other work for us including: hanging chandeliers, hanging ceiling fans, fixing faulty wiring.

The floodlight circuit was a real stumper. The circuit breaker was fine, the switches were fine but no light. Jef was able to work his way through the house and finally found that a previous electrician had disconnected the main floodlight switch to handle a new closet light without realizing it was active. Jef showed a high level of expertise. I volunteered to get a replacement timer myself to save his time and he was fine with that. He ran a new circuit through wallboard and a hidden wood wall with no mess, no wires showing and no further repair needed. Jef stayed late to get the job done and spent nearly five hours. The price he charged was a real bargain. Of the three electricians we have used over the years, he is the best. Highly recommend!
Description of Work: Jef of Big C Electric was referred by a neighbor. He called to say he would be a little late. He: diagnosed and repaired a fault in an outside floodlight circuit caused by a different Angies list electrician (!), added a new motion detector floodlight (which I bought), figured out that I had installed a single pole timer when it should have been a double pole and made the correction, ran a wire and added a new closet light and replaced the bulbs in our highest floodlight 24' off the ground (at night in the dark).

I have used Jeff numerous times over the past 3 years. He does excellent work, is friendly and easy to work with, and his prices are fair. Everything looked great when he was done. I noted some comments from users that he is hard to get in touch with. It is true that Jeff is in demand, but he always has returned my calls in a timely fashion and, when a job he was working on ran long, called to let me know. I want him to stay on my job until it is finished and do not hold this against him.
Description of Work: He changed out three light fixtures for me prior to selling my home, and added a new light fixture in a hallway.

I discovered my temperature controled roof fan had stopped working. I called Big "C" Electric since I had him install some ceiling fans a number of years ago. He said he understood the problem and would order a motor to replace the one in my roof fan. He confirmed that he had received the motor and scheduled Friday 7/3/09 at 10:00 AM to install it. He called Friday morning to confirm he would at my home at 10:00 AM. He arrived on time and replaced the fan motor which solved the problem. I had the roof replaced the previous week and he noticed that when they had reset the fan housing there was some space so he caulked the housing from the inside so that there would be no air leaks. I appreciated the fact that he went the extra step to make sure I had no problems
Description of Work: Replaced the roof fan motor

I can't comment without job date info, I usually can't just do things like everyone thinks, I have to comply with strict electrical codes.

Sorry without documentation including dates cannot respond properly. All installations are guaranteed at least one year except in workmanship situations. I always return calls when contacted with good information unless the customer was mislead by an employee at the time other than me.
