We had a dryer that worked occasionally. We would have to re-trip a breaker to get it to work. We had an appliance person diagnose that it was the electricity. Miller and Miller came out., right on time and even called to let us know he was on his way, even though he was coming within the 30minute allotted slot Dale came out and he had an impeccably organized and clean truck. He used floor mats to keep the place clean just on case, but his shoes were clean. He checked the power provided and fixed the issue on right away.

I called because we had appliance problems that we thought was related to power. We've had power issues before. The electrician very politely and professionaly walked us through several diagnostic tests over the phone and came to the conclusion that it was not an electrical problem. We REALLY appreciated that he did not come out and charge us a fee to determine that. What was especially impressive that he called back a day or two later and asked if everything was OK and said he's be available to talk to the appliance repair person if they thought it was power, then he's be able to come fix that. I'll hire them is a second when we eventually add more power to that area of our house, which he was able to describe how we would do.

The owners came to our home and recommended lighting for the path leading to the front steps and provided a prompt written estimate once we decided which lights we liked. They both came to install the lights and a transformer, carefully worked around our groundcover and the rest of our plants, made sure we approved of placement and left the porch and path clean. They followed up with a phone call the next day to make sure everything was in working order and returned to explain how to use the timer feature. I would not hesitate to contact them to do additional work. The lights look awesome!

It was a great experience. It was the second time I've used them. Mr. Miller called in advance to get the details of the job to ensure he understood its scope. The person who did the work was punctual, professional, and worked efficiently. I am very happy with them and will use them again with no reservations.

They came when they said they would did what they promises. Talked thorugh the problem on the phone--bad light fixture. Gave me a rough estimate. Actual repair came in a little higher. However, on a follow-up phone call after the repair I was informed I get a $22 check in the mail due to an overcharge by their supplier. Excellent experience all around.

I am very pleased with the overall service. They arrived on time and quickly reviewed the request and looked for options to run a new 120 outlet for the new range. Overall job only took 40 minutes and the installer was very professional and made sure the site was clean before he left. I definitely would recommend them again! What I was also impressed with was the office called the next day (a Saturday) to follow up on the job performance and my satisfaction. Thank you!

Overall, it was fine. They arrived 15 minutes late. It appears they couldn't reuse the old receptacles and plates since we were charged for new ones at $16.50 total. Costs were 1.5 hours x a labor rate of $95 per hour ($142.50) + materials of $24 + an unspecified Service Charge of $55 - Angie's List discount of $25 plus tax. Total: $198.36. They did a fine job and seem very nice but the cost seemed high for an hour and a half of work.

Response from Miller & Miller Electric Inc
Thank you for your review, we depend on these reviews as Angie's List is our only advertising medium. On 8/6/2009 you hired Miller and Miller to do a job for you and at that time you were charged our normal service charge, our normal hourly rate and you received the Angie's list discount, so we were surprised that you were confused about the charges this time as they were exactly the same as last time. As for the reuse of old products (receptacles) it is our policy to never reuse old products due to the fact that we warranty the products that we install for 1 year and we would not be able to do that with used products (this is for your safety). As for the 15 minute delay in arrival, we are a service group and we try our best to give our customers a range of time that we will be there, we try to do better than between 8 and 12 or 12 and 5 like most service companies. Unfortunatly, traffic was really bad that morning and we were running a little late; however, we should have called to tell you that and if we didn't we apologize for that. Member, we strive very hard to provide the best possible service to our customers and we value your business. From our ratings on Angie's List you can see that our customers love us and come back again and again for our honesty and and value added service. I wish we could charge the rates that handymen charge, but we hold the highest license in the state and it is very expensive to operate a business of this nature when you do it right; we have not raised our prices in 4 years. Thank you again for your review, if you would like to discuss further, please give us a call in the office. We hope you will choose Miller and Miller in again in the future.

Very responsive and worked to troubleshoot over the phone before scheduling a visit. Flexible in scheduling an appointment that fit in our schedule. Extremely knowledgeable and willing to teach/explain. Went above and beyond in repairing the powerless outlet. As for the garage outlet issue, honest evaluation and provided multiple suggestions as to how to resolve the problem without an expensive an unnecessary electrician's bill. We will definately use Williams and Williams for all of our electrical needs.

[1] Returned my call (a Sunday) later that day and told me they would call back with the appointment time and they did. [2] Arrived at the appointed time. [3] Fixed the issue. [4] The bill was detailed and precise as to what the charges were for and their amount (and I think the value received for the amount I paid was completely fair).
Description of Work: I installed a celling fan recently and discovered after the fact that I had somehow mis-wired it, I had no clue how to sort out what I had done. Mr Miller completely sorted out the problem and fixed it. This electrical service engagement met and then exceeded my expectations, they are really good.

I was very pleased with the work and how they took the time to explain everything. They were also very flexible.
Description of Work: Company was professional, responsive and thorough. My master bedroom was totally without power. It turned out that the electrician who originally wired my home 6 years ago incorrectly wired the room at the main breaker box. This caused the wired to eventually overheat. This could have been serious. Miller and MIller quickly found and solved the problem. I had them back 2 days later to add some additional electrical outlets.

Thank you for your feedback, it is important to us to provide the very best customer service with the highest quality materials, our reputation is built on that phlisophy. Having more than 30 years in this business we have learned that the chance of callbacks are due in large part to the use of lower grade electrical products that are purchased at large warehouse/ discount stores or on the internet. Miller and Miller Electric purchases a higher grade of material so the customer gets a better product, this sets us apart from our competition. Unfortunatly, they do cost a little more and cannot be compared to warehouse/discount prices Thanks so much for your feedback, we rely on these reports and we appreciate your business.

It went very well--I will certainly call M&M again for any electrical needs, including the work that needs to be done in conjunction with the power company.
Description of Work: M&M installed an outdoor floodlight where there had been no lights before, and ran a three-way switch to a light that I had previously only been able to turn on from my garage, so that I could turn it on from inside my house. Dale also examined and advised on an electrical problem regarding a connection to an outbuilding--Progress Energy needed to be brought in, and M&M did not charge me for the examination or advice.

See above. It is great to know there is a company out there that you can trust and who will stand by their performance. They have done other jobs for us before when we first moved to the area. The technician spent a lot of time with us, going over every detail in the house. It is an older home and the previous owners did some of the electrical work haphazardly. We wanted to make sure that we were safe, as electrical issues can cause big problems. They did not push us to do anything unnecessary, were calm, thorough, and professional.
Description of Work: For security purposes, we decided to have our outdoor lights on timers necessitating having our light switches reconfigured. They were able to accommodate our needs and perform the work in a timely manner. The work was excellent, and the owners contacted us personally to make sure everything was fine. This is a husband and wife team and they are thorough and available. Highly recommend them.

I then turned to Dale Miller of Miller Electric, whom I found in Angie's List. He was not only prompt and courteous, but the installation went quickly and the work was performed professionally. In subsequent discussions about doing additional work, Dale has been responsive and helpful. We have recently discussed additional installation projects and he has been helpful in recommending other contractors in different areas. I plan to use Miller Electric again.
Description of Work: This job entailed the installation of a large ceiling fan. I had used a different contractor (from Angie's List - Hausen & Son) to hang two other fans, but he became squirrelly and stopped returning calls. In fact, he had promised to perform other services and gave prices and a time table, but failed to follow up at all despite repeated requests, leaving us in a lurch and completely compromising the projects committed to.

Miller & Miller called me back right away and arranged a time to come out very quickly after explaining their pricing schedule. They had no issue identifying and repairing the wiring problem. The entire process took less than an hour. Dale even offered some free consultation on some creative electrical work that a former house owner had done. I would definitely use Miller & Miller again.
Description of Work: Light fixture in the dining room stopped working and my basic troubleshooting could not resolve the issue. I knew it was not the switch, but as the house has very old wiring, I was not comfortable doing any more work.

The light fixture in our kitchen had gone out a while ago. I tried replacing the bulbs which did not fix it, but we were also having some popping at one of the light switches when it went out. I then tried replacing the ballast myself, but turning off the switches still had current at the fixture, so we decided it was time to get a professional. They replaced the ballast for me. Nothing sounded unusual to the technician in the rest of the description, but he went ahead and checked things out and replaced the two switches for my piece of mind. All done much quicker and more thorough than I could have done myself.
