.The process went well. We decided to have it inspected and have sdge turn off the electricity. They were very patient as we worked to get everyone out to our house at the proper time, and also working around the need to reschedule due to rain. Everything looks great and we feel better having a newer panel
Description of Work: The work to replace our circuit panel was completed as requested.

First of all, I don't remember the exact amount that I paid (it's been a while), but they were offering a special deal and I was happy with the price. After purchasing Angie's deal, I called the owner and set up an appointment. He showed up and I explained everything that I wanted done (I added a few things on during the job). The owner was there the a while on the first day, but after that he let his employees finish the job. The satellite cable: They moved the cable on the outside of the house; then hooked up an old Cox cable that was still in the wall, so I had not reception. Also, one of the outlets in that room didn't work. They came back the next day and fixed the problems and also did more work. I had to call them back 3 times to finish the job properly. With the final job quality, they should have received an A, but I gave them a B because I had to call them back more than once. They back up their work and are professional about doing it right, bug they should have checked their work before they left my house.
Description of Work: They moved a satellite cable from one side of the room to another and put in 2 electrical outlets. Additionally, they put in lighting fixtures in the ceiling, replacing some ugly fixtures there were there before and changing the position (per my request) of the lights. Also, they opened up the wall and an HDMI through the wall so that I didn't have ugly cables everywhere. Also, they put in about 3-4 electrical outlets in other rooms.

I thought the panel replacement went very well, and I would recommend Matt Evans for electrical work if friends were to ask me for a good electrician.
Description of Work: Matt Evans replaced the service panel for my house. Our house is older, and when we bought it a year ago, a property inspection company recommended that we have the old poor quality Zinsco panel replaced. Evans Electric was offering a very good deal for panel replacements at the time, and they had good reviews on Angie's List, so we contracted with them to replace the panel. When we met Matt Evans to go over the work, he appeared to be a responsible, honest business man. This turned out to be an accurate impression. After having this work done, I would recommend this company.

Matt and Jimmy were just finishing a job in my neighborhood when I called, so they responded immediately. Both were very personable, and Matt was superb in determining the best solution to meet my need for additional garage outlets near my home's electrical junction box, working around existing wiring and conduits to complete a secure, quality installation. The two were professional, worked efficiently, and cleaned up all debris at the conclusion of work. Overall, I was very happy with the experience and will definitely call Evans Electric again for any other home electric needs.

The individual who provided the service was very professional and completed the job quickly and efficiently. I have no complaints about the work. In fact everything was outstanding. The only problem was that I paid for 2 hours and the job took less than 30 minutes.So end result was that it was not a good deal for me. Nothing against the company or the individual....I just overestimated the time it would take to install a ceiling light where there was none previously. Next time, I will have other jobs ready just in case the planned job takes a lot less time than I estimated.
Description of Work: Install ceiling light in bedroom where there was no light or wiring. Evans routed wiring in attic and cut hole in ceiling and installed ceiling light I had purchased so that it would use the switch at the door for on/off.

These guys are great!! Matt was careful to come and inspect the property and make sure all areas were covered. He was quick to point out things we might need without being pushy or up-selling, just wanted to make sure our needs were covered not just for now.. But in the future (like the cable and cat 5, it was a MARVELOUS call!) I liked him immediately and felt very comfortable with his estimate and took a lot of his suggestions. He listened to everything we wanted and made it happen. His team are a fun group of guys who are very personable and knowledgeable. They worked well with other contractors working on the house and were quick to lend a hand if a little extra muscle was needed. I felt completely comfortable with them in my home and by the end of the job was laughing and joking with them like they were old friends. I was kinda sad when the job was done. Evans Electric is staying in my contact book and I will happily call them with any other electrical needs and they will be the first I recommend to others. Thanks, Matt, Jaime and Jeremy for all of your hard work and making my home work like a charm!!
Description of Work: Rewire of entire home built in 1914. Installation of 5 ceiling fans, new outlets in entire home, security lighting, outdoor outlets, Routed cable and Cat 5 inside of walls, installed doorbell and multiple light fixtures. Installed separate circuits for electric fireplace and microwave.

My home was built in 1955 and had the original electrical box. The new box was impressive. The young man that came out was friendly and professional. Even though the job required an extra expense to bring everything up to code, it was well worth it. I will definitely call on Evans Electric for any future electrical needs.

Since he did not have a replacement circuit breaker, he gave me a choice: He could see if he had one at the shop and return for another service call, or he could show me how to replace it myself. He very patiently and thoroughly showed me how to replace the breaker, what to touch and what to not touch (especially at the same time!). He had me wear leather gloves and let me practice with the bad breaker. This service call was $85. I then went to home depot, bought the breaker and installed it myself in less than ten minutes. This saved me the cost of another service call.
Description of Work: The first time we used Evans Electric was with a Big Deal offer of $99 for 2 hours of electrical work in October 2011. We had been having intermittent problems with the 220 electrical supply to the oven. However, at the time of service, it was working. So we had an outdoor outlet replaced that was not working. It was not 2 hours of work, but we didn't have anything else we needed done. Then in September 2012, the intermittent problem with the 220 supply to the oven started again. This time when he came out, it was not working and he determined that only one leg of the circuit was getting power. He did not have a replacement circuit breaker with him. This is a very old circuit breaker board that is no longer being made.

Most of the detail is noted above, but, Matt and his assistant came out to our house. He diagnosed the problem with the lights. His switch did not match the color of the old switch, so he left to purchase the correct color. During this time, his assistant asked if there was anything else he could look at. I asked him to look at the ceiling fan and he quickly noted that the ceiling electrical box was not tightly installed and then proceeded to firmly anchor it. Matt returned with the light switch and quickly installed it as well. Matt then asked if there was anything else he could do before leaving. I showed him the fountain switch and he installed that too. He then presented me with a reasonable bill, I paid him and they left. All of the repaired areas have continued to work perfectly.
Description of Work: Matt and his assistant located and repaired an intermittent light switch failure that had been occurring for over 5 years. We have three light switches in our kitchen controlling the same set if lights. Sometimes all three switches would work, but most of the time, one or two would be inoperable. Matt discovered that one of the switches was broken internally and became disconnected if a nearby door was slammed. He replaced that switch and the problem has never reappeared. He also discovered that a ceiling fan that was impossible to balance had an improperly installed electrical rough in/box in the ceiling. He properly anchored it and it is now perfectly balanced. He also replaced a timer switch on our courtyard fountain.

I was impressed with his work and honesty. He was thorough, showed up on time and was a pleasure to deal with.
Description of Work: I originally purchased a big deal for an electrical panel replacement. He took apart the electrical panel and inspected the parts. He explained that I did not need this replaced. He went and checked all the circuit breakers in my house and labeled them.

Perhaps Evans is not interested in small jobs. However, it is neither responsive nor professional to ignore customer inquiries altogether.
Description of Work: We phoned Evans Electric two days ago and left a detailed message regarding a small electrical job. We needed to have a new outlet added to our garage. We asked for a callback. Evans did not call us back. Just in case Evans lost our message, we called again yesterday with a new message, once again describing the job and requesting a callback. Evans did not call back.

Response from Evans Electric
We apologize for the lengthy call back time. After just running a "Big Deal," our company was flooded with customer calls to return and were working out of town on a job that week. We did call you back in the order your call was received, but got no answer. We will attempt to contact you this coming week. We pride ourselves on customer service, as can be seen in our overall rating and look forward to doing business with you.

The job took about a week; with one to three guys working at any given time. I purchased all the fans and lighting fixtures from home depot that the crew installed. They made the same size and shape hole every time they needed to break into the wall, this made the dry wall repair much easier and faster. The crew was professional, they covered all my furniture will plastic and they were careful to keep the mess to a minimum. At the end of everyday they vacuumed and cleaned up the area. They always left at least one electrical outlet on at night for me, and they left an extension cord for me to use to run lights into other rooms. It has been about 3 or 4 weeks since the work was performed, and I am still very happy with the work I received for Evans Electric.
Description of Work: Replaced all the wiring in my 2 bedroom1 bathroom house. Replaced all electrical outlets and added a few, replaced two ceiling fans and added one to the living room, replaced front and back outdoor lighting fixtures and added one outdoor fixture, replaced all the light fixtures in every room and added one in the hallway. Everything electrical is new. I have plaster walls. Matt coordinated well with the contractor who repaired the drywall after Matt was finished.

I purchased a coupon deal off angie's list for two hours of electrical work for $99. I called and he was responsive and set date for work to be done. He was prompt & all the seemingly small items of work it took almost the two hours. This was quite a deal and greatly appreciate his work.
Description of Work: Two wall sockets are connected to wall switches and were not working. He checked both and was able to repair the wiring so both sockets can be turned on by wall switches. He rehung a ceiling lamp in the kitchen so that it was flat with the ceiling. Checked kitchen switches so dimmer was working properly. Installed a track light system in bathroom.
