Description of Work: The company placed a fan in a bathroom, and it worked once, then never worked again. I had to have much of the work redone by another electrician. The fan they placed in the bathroom was so noisy I had to have it replaced once it was working, They never talked to me about what type of fan I would like to have. Other work that was done by this company earlier also had to be redone - they had used wrong parts, connected things incorrectly, etc.

Response from HOLT ELECTRIC SVC
Member has never contact me about any dis-satisfaction of the electrical work completed. I see that her report was just completed April 2012, the last work I did for her was June of 2008 payment was not received until August 2008. I 100% warranty parts and labor for a full year and only use high quailty parts. I have been doing electrical work for 43 years and do not do inferior work. I'm shocked and surprised that she has graded me this way.

Mike responded quickly to my phone call. I told him we just had a few things that needed to be done and I didn't think a separate trip for an estimate was necessary. We scheduled a time and Mike called about 1/2 hour prior to his arrival which was about 10 minutes earlier than what we had scheduled. Mike was very professional, we took a look at what needed to be done and he got to work. All was done in under 2 hours, including the drive time from the time he called until he arrived (I didn't realize I would be charged for travel time). While Mike was here I found that my garage door opener was not working. Mike took a quick look at it and determined the problem was not with the power which I appreciated. Overall I'm very satisfied with the service. Mike answered the questions I had in a way I could understand.
Description of Work: Mike took care of our inspector's check list which included replacing two GFCI recepticles, an exhaust fan, a clamp on the disposal, termination of a wire in the attic that was not properly terminated and replaced a smoke detector.

They were excellent. They were prompt in coming within the timeframe they agreed upon. They were polite and knowledgeable. This was a difficult situation and they were very helpful. It took some skill and knowledge to make a good assessment. I would absolutely work with them in the future.
Description of Work: We got an estimate from them. The deal fell through and we didn't end up using them.

Very prompt and professional. Turned out to be a very expensive visit to replace a $1.25 switch, however, due to their fixed $125 service charge. He provided some additional value by giving me a 5min electrician's lesson before leaving, which I appreciated.
Description of Work: Diagnosed problem with overhead fluorescent light. Replaced faulty switch.

When I called to set up a time for them to come, they said they'd be there the next day at 10 am. I got a call the next morning at 9 am, they said they were running ahead of schedule and asked if they could come early. They worked efficiently, acted professionally, and fixed the problem.
Description of Work: Overhead lights in our utility room were flickering. The problem was isolated, a faulty neutral wire and was corrected. They had to take out the switch, make sure it worked, take down both fixtures, and after a few shocks they determined which wire was faulty.

I called Holt yesterday. They made an appointment at 1PM today, but said that they would call before coming just in case. I returned home at 11:45 AM and had a message stating that they were running ahead of schedule; they could come early if it worked for me. I called them back and they said that they were finishing with another project and would be by within 15 minutes. They arrived within 15 minutes and had it fixed within a half an hour. They were courteous and cleaned up after themselves.
Description of Work: My kitchen light stopped working. They came and fixed it.

The project took three days from start to finish to complete. They only had to turn off our power for a few hours each day, and told us when they'd have to do it, which was convenient.
Description of Work: They upgraded our house's existing electric service, bringing it up to code, by installing a breaker box on the exterior of the house. They also updated receptacles in the bathroom and kitchen, removed some dangerous/unsightly overhead wires leading from back door to garage, burying them underground and installed a back door flood light.

Mike and his assistant came by around noon on the first day and ran all the wiring and installed the sub-panel. The second day consisted of the installation of the light and the new circuits. They finished up around 2pm.
Description of Work: I had a motion-sensor exterior flood light installed in the rear of my house. I also had Mike add a 220 outlet and another 110 outlet in my garage workshop. This required the installation of a new circuit sub-panel as well.

This was an excellent experience. Everything Mike he said he would do, he did in a timely manner with the upmost professionalism. He was even 15 minutes when coming to give the estimate, which helped me get to work on time. He sent the estimate when he said he would, and the work order was scheduled the next week. He and his staff showed up on time both days. When the work was completed, Mike took time to explain everything that was done. We were charged exactly the estimate.
Description of Work: Installed ceiling bath fan and new wall switch, venting for bath fan to the outside; also transferred old fuse circuits in home to garage breaker panel, removed old fuse panel and rough patch the wall; removed old existing FPE main breaker panel and installed new GE main breaker panel.

Mike responded to my initial phone call, explained his fee and estimated the time he thought it would take to complete the job. He scheduled an appointment within a few days and he completed the job within the hour that he'd estimated. He seems to be an experienced and very competent troubleshooter.
Description of Work: He diagnosed and fixed an electrical outlet problem.
