Great. My power went out in half my kitchen on a Friday night, house full of family and a full refrigerator and freezer. Larry answered the phone despite it being 7p.m., was there in less than half an hour, problem solved. Saved the day!

He was excellent because he was prompt. He didn't take advantage of me, but he worked on it quick. And he did not prolong the work. He provided the parts that I needed for the kitchen light and this is just for an additional $10 charge including the labor. And he gave a $10 discount for being an Angie's List member.
Description of Work: I had a ceiling tile and there was something hanging and I was not sure what that was and he took care of the hanging wire. He also installed a light fixture.

Mr. Allman saved us from what could have been a catastrophic electrical problem. Late on a Friday night our lights began to flicker and our well lost pressure. I called and spoke with Mrs. Allman to advise we had an emergency - she said that Mr. Allman was on a job but she would have him call me as soon as possible. He called not more than 20 minutes later - my wife explained the situation and he said he would be there as soon as he could that afternoon. He arrived shortly afternoon and began looking for the problem - found that our main breaker was arcing badly. He installed a new breaker but because of the age of the equipment it did not fit properly. Mr. Allman advised that we would be okay for the rest of the weekend, but that he would get the parts needed and be back on Monday as soon as he finished another job. He arrived about 11:30am and set right to work to finish the job. Mr. Allman was very professional - I appreciated the fact that he was available for an emergency on a weekend.
Description of Work: Our house's main breaker was shorting out.

Without problem. Mr. Allman also rewired some outdoor wall lights because the day-night sensors had gone bad. This saved us several hundred dollars in replacement costs.

Mr. Allman's response time to my initial call was great! An appointment was set for the next day and the work was exceptional. Before leaving, I had him check out an overhead light fixture which he determined was installed incorrectly. He made that correction and I don't think he charged me for the labor. I highly recommend Larry and I will definitely use his services again.

He called back that evening and said he would "try to work it in." Two days later, I sent a reminder e-mail. I never heard from him again. After a week of no contact, I called Buckingham Electric. They came out the same day and fixed my problem.
Description of Work: He had installed outside lighting at my home. The circuit went dead a few weeks ago on a Friday evening. I called the following Monday AM to request help.

Within one hour Mr. Allman found the solution and rewired the pump so that we have hot water circulation during different times of the day throughout the hose. I offered to pay for this non-service warranty service call but Mr. Allman refused to bill us.
Description of Work: Our tankless hot water heater circulation system cycling pump was not working correctly. Although Allman Electric wired our new house they were not the company that installed this pump, yet Mr. Allman took the time to figure out the problem and wire the pump properly - free of charge.

The work went fine. Two of Larry's men showed up first thing in the morning. They had a 16 foot step ladder that they had to maneuver into the house and then set up under the lights. They moved the furniture and were very careful. The ladder was very heavy and it was not an easy job. The guys were very polite and I would definitely use them again.

Larry helped to complete some final concerns that I had about a new residence for me. He was time efficient and thorough, and even problem-solved other areas with no charge for me. The individuals that assisted him were neat in their work, accurate and all had a great sense of humor

I an the president of a neighborhood association that needed some lights repaired in the common area. I thought I might like this firm because they were rated high on Angie's List, and they are close to my neighborhood. It took several efforts to get them to come out and do a quote, during which the technician had to call me several times to find the address. He did the quote and things seemed good, but they continually pushed back the expected service date. Although they appear to be a real business, their phones have been down every time I called (over a two month period), so it was impossible to reach someone directly; I had to leave a message which was sporadically answered. After two months of waiting, I was told that they had lost my quote, and that I would need to leave work again to meet the quoter, and that they couldn't start the job because they were on vacation, and had another job in front of me. At that time I told them to forget it, and I called Splawn Electric who came out to quote the next day, and finished the job within a week, at about 20% less, even with unexpected cost increases. I think the problem was that my quote from Allman was only $1000.00. I don't think thats enough money to get their interest. If you have a job that will run in to the tens of thousands, I bet they call you right back. But for a thousand dollars, it just not worth their trouble. I feel sorry for their receptionist who seems as nice as anyone you might ever talk to. I am certain she gets an earful.
Description of Work: sent a quote.

Larry was on time and got the work done swiftly. In addition he travelled to the site twice more to meet with the county building inspector in order to help clear up some questions about the location I had marked for the pole so the electrical permit would be approved and the power connected. A first rate experience all around.

Mr. Allman was punctual, pleasant, and very efficient. He started working as soon as he arrived and cleaned up after finishing each separate task. The total amount was less than anticipated. I will definitely hire him again.

I left a message for him and he returned my call that day. He came the next day and discovered a faulty relay in the transfer switch for my standby generator. I told him I was going out of town the next day (for over a week) , so he said he would stop by that weekend and install the part while I was gone. He told me to call him when I returned from the trip and let him know if the problem was solved. He would then send me an invoice for the work.
Description of Work: He evaluated problem with Standby Generator Transfer switch. He ordered a part and returned to install it.

Very good. I would trust these guys in the future. They told me to fix the outside light would be too expensive cutting through plants and digging a trench to try and fix the short. We decided a solar powered light would be the option.
