Chris did an excellent job! He is the most knowledgeable electrician I have ever come across. He made sure that he understood my needs and wants. He made suggestions that I had not thought about and that were cost effective. As an artist I wanted a different type of lighting from what the previous electrician had installed in my art studio. I wanted a true natural light-as if it were daylight mid day. He had a masterful knowledge of cool/warm lights and knew what I needed. He also hung a very large foyer lantern and did a great job-even considering things from an aesthetic as well as functional perspective. I will use him again.
Description of Work: Changing to a different kind of canned lights and installing a large foyer lantern. Also asked for a quote on installing canned lights in a guest room.

Chris took care of all the issues on our list within 2 hours. In addition to being efficient, he was very polite and helpful, carefully explaining his charges up front and also explaining everything he did. We are very lucky to have found him, and we will hire him again whenever we need electrical work done.
Description of Work: Installed an outlet for installation of a garbage disposal, installed GFCI breaker in main box, corrected wiring problems in main breaker box, installed GFCI for Jacuzzi, addressed other electrical issues noted on inspection when we purchased the house.

Chris is very knowledgeable, competent and excellent is communication. He also is good at understanding what I want and translating that to a realistic and proper code based plan. I am pleased with the way he carries the task to completion sometimes on his own.

I just haven't had a lot of luck with electricians but he was much better. I thought he was excellent. He was punctual, professional, and fixed everything that I needed fixed. He was very clear on price and he was reasonably priced. I'll definitely use him again.

Responsive quickly and let me know they had several weeks of work to do and I needed something more urgent.
Description of Work: No services were performed but I wanted to give them kudos for at least responding quickly and letting me know that they were weeks out on their work schedule. I needed a non-working smoke alarm fixed in a tenant's place and needed quicker service.

We called Rappl's and explained our situation. They offered to come the next day. Chris gave us a detailed explanation of every repair and talked us through a bunch of cost/benefit decisions so we didn't waste any money on needless changes. We were well informed and educated by the process.The job was done quickly and professionally. Our house was left in spotless condition and everything is in perfect working order. The price was more than reasonable and we couldn't be happier with the work. We have never had a more positive experience with a repair.
Description of Work: We needed a bunch of things done. We had a list from a home inspector that required electrical repairs for most rooms of our house plus the crawl space - some simple and some complicated. On top of that we replaced every light fixture in our house plus several ceiling fans.

Mr. Rappl arrived on time and was very organized and competent. He had both jobs done within 90 minutes for a fair price and brought all the necessary materials to install the fan properly and repair the light switch. The rate sheet he provided beforehand prepared me for his cost, which was reasonable for the quality of work and the professionalism demonstrated. I will definitely use his services again.

Have been using Chris for over 10 years now and he is absolutely the BEST electrician ever!
Description of Work: Chris installed two 25" bowl pendants on a 15' sloped ceiling. Also installed a series of 6 pendant lights all coming from the same junction box, but hung on different parts of another sloped ceiling with pendants at random levels. These were both extremely complicated installations.

I worked with a lot of contractors during my remodel / renovation and Chris stands out as the best of the best. Very professional. He knows what he is doing and he does the job right. He is a master electrician and can troubleshoot any electrical problem. If I have an electrical problem in the future, Chris will be the one I call regardless of how big or small because I want it done right. If you have an electrical problem or want to do some sort of upgrade, I give Chris my highest recommendation because he will get it done right and I would stake my reputation on it. Thanks Chris!!
Description of Work: I purchased a home in November 2009 and needed to do a major remodel / renovation. I asked Chris Rappl to correct some deficiencies in the wiring, add a couple of circuits, upgrade all light fixtures and outlets, and incorporate some new features / conveniences.

We had lost power to an outlet in one of our rooms, and the electrician fixed it for us. One of the wires shorted out, and I think he installed a new outlet. He has been great and his price was reasonable. Most people don’t even give an estimate unless they come out and take a look for which there is a charge.

Response from Rappl's Electric Service
I just registered with Angie's list "company connect" and read these reports for the first time. I'm sorry that I am so late responding to this report. As a small shop it is sometimes difficult to respond immediately, especially if I am currently involved in a large project. I try to communicate immediately and if I can't take care of a request in a timely fashion, I usually opt to decline the work rather than inconvenience my customer. I will make a sincere effort to address reponsiveness in the future.
