Daivid was on time, wasted no time getting to his task, assessed the adequacy of the existing electrical system, and installed the microwave oven. He was polite and fully answered all of my questions and explained what he was doing. He thoroughly cleaned up the debris from the job.
Description of Work: David and his assistant put in a new microwave oven. This involved checking to see that an individual electrical line was installed, chacking the electric box for safety purposes, taking out the defective microwave oven and installing the new microwave oven.

It went well. I had to make two trips to Lowe's to get light bulbs and a new light fixture for under the cabinet. I was pleased that they cleaned the cobwebs off of the vaulted flood lights--these lights are set on either side of a skylight, and it is a very tall climb on a ladder. The lights were a bit crooked when they finished, but I asked them to come back in and straighten them, and they willingly did so. I was happy with the job overall.
Description of Work: Gary and Josh with David Long Electrical replaced three outside light fixtures, replaced two flood lights in a vaulted ceiling in the kitchen, and replaced a faulty light fixture mounted under a kitchen cabinet.

They've done a lot of work for us, and they are very good. Very professional, they get to work and they get it done. We were actually going on vacation, and they came out to us two days in a row because they knew that it was important to us to get the security light put in before we left.
Description of Work: Replaced a security light in the back our house. The put one light up, and the light was defective. They came out the next day and put up another light.

It was very important to me that the company not use subcontractors. The person they sent, had been an electrician for a long time, and they had just hired him in the past few months. The serviceman was very knowlegeable and professional and I was impressed.

The three man crew arrived promptly, a bit after 8:00 AM and went right to work. They worked in a very professional manner. It took them most of the day. They finished about mid afternoon after cleaning up the job site. David and I walked through the finished work to be sure that I was satisfied with it.
Description of Work: David and his crew wired a basement work shop and large concreted crawl space. The project included running wire for three circuits. GFI outlets were installed and new lighting appropriate for a workshop. Wiring and lighting was installed in storage areas and a closet. They also inspected and fixed some problem wiring that we discovered after purchasing the house.

This is how a company should provide service. Great. From my first initial call they were able to provide me a quote over the phone within the hour and schedule the appointment.

I called to get a quote and set up an appointment on a Friday afternoon and was able to set up an appointment for Saturday morning. The guys arrived about 10 minutes early, were friendly and professional, did the job quickly, and cleaned up completely when they were done. Their hourly rate was about the same or a little higher than a couple of other places I called. I would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Moved 2 ceiling fixtures, corrected the wiring on another fixture that wasn't working properly.

He did good quality work, but the price was higher than expected. He had two contractors and the first did not do good. The second called and said the work needed to be redone, and he authorized it right then. I was happy that it was fixed so fast.

A date and time was set. They arrived right on time. They looked at a couple of things and found that two large appliances were pulling too many amps on one circuit and the wires in one of the outlets had overheated and melted. They replaced the outlet. I moved the cord to an alternate plug on another circuit. They advised that the permanent solution would be to pull another circuit to put the microwave on. However, I did not have money to do that at this time.
Description of Work: They diagnosed why a breaker kept tripping and fixed the problem.

Called me ahead of time to request I buy fixtures ahead of time, if they had to be replaced, so that replacement could be accomplished in one service call rather than two. Called on the morning of service that he was running 10 minutes late because of van trouble. Worked quickly, but thoroughly, and completed work that we had requested in a very professional manner.
Description of Work: Replaced twoo electrical fixtures and did exhaustive search of non functioning outlets.

Called Thurs night because power was out in half the house, cutting on and off erratically. Made appointment for Fri., noon. David called back early Fri. to discuss the problem and confirm they would be coming. Gary called Fri. around 11:15 said he was on his way. Troubleshot the problem fairly quickly, turned out to be problem from the Power Company. He waited while I called and spoke with someone, talked me through some possible issues once they got the power going again, then made sure the Power Company knew what was going on when they arrived. Very much appreciated the service. Angie's List discount given for first hour. Gary made sure to comment that the Power Company should reimburse me. Sure enough, they are. Thanks Gary and Long Electrical!
Description of Work: Breaker Box and electrical meter service, troubleshooting my problem. No actual service needed as problem was on Power Company's side.

We had two ceiling fans that weren't working and we were not sure why. We also had a light outside that needed its wires capped to prevent an accident. He came out and took care of everything for us, and was really good about his time spent here. We also got a quote for some recessed lighting while he was here and will likely hire them to come out and place those in soon.
Description of Work: Cap loose wires that were in an outside light, repair/get electricity to two ceiling fans that were not functioning, but that had a live wire.
