I decided to have a new bathroom fan installed because the other one was died and was so old and encrusted in grime, I doubt it could have repaired. Fred gave me options based on cost and value. Now that it is installed, it looks great and I couldn't be happier and will definitely call eWire again for some other things I need done around the house.

The work we needed was the result of a home inspection (pre-sale). We were very pleased and impressed with the work Fred did for us. He was prompt, courteous and very knowledgeable. He was not out to repair or install things that were not necessary. We would definintely recommend Fred to anyone needing electrical work done.
Description of Work: Repaired wiring and oversized circuit breaker, removed inproperly wired outlets, replaced old smoke detectors, and installed GFCI receptacles.

Fred analyzed the situation and thoroughly considered the options. He had to cut a fairly large opening in the drywall to access the new CATV cable from the basement and then snake it across to where he was installing the jack. He patched the opening in the drywall and gave us advice on how to mount the LED TV using a wall mount so as to take advantage of the adjacent CATV jack and electrical outlet. Fred also diagnosed a wiring problem with our doorbell that had been created by the previous owner of the home. We couldn't be more happy with his work. Very detail oriented, thorough and friendly service. He also explained his plan of action and asked our opinion where there were options. We took advantage of the deal Fred offered on Angie's list for 2 hours of work for $125. A great deal. He spent about 3 hours at the house including the doorbell diagnosis.
Description of Work: Installed a very difficult CATV jack above the mantle and in front of the fireplace flue.

We just completed a major DIY kitchen remodel project adding all of today?s modern appliances and other kitchen amenities. Our house was built in 1964; being this old still having the old shell fuse panel, the house required quite a bit of electrical upgrades to accommodate some of the amenities we wanted in the kitchen. Fred brought the house up-to-code providing a service upgraded by installing a new 200 amp main disconnect panel with 40 circuits and circuit?s breakers for the existing wiring. He also installed two ground rods for the new electrical panel. In the kitchen, he installed new circuits for the dish washer, receptacles, and under-the-cabinet lighting. In addition to the above, he also installed recessed lighting and fixtures and pendant fixtures. Fred even collaborated with the city engineering and local inspector as needed. This list goes on for other things he did that wasn?t mentioned. In short, Fred did an excellent job. He was very kind, courteous, and professional. To say the least about his working knowledge, he really knows the electrical business. I would highly recommend e-Wire Electric Company to anyone.

Fred responded to my initial request promptly, and we set a time to meet through the Angie's List site. He came on time and worked immediately to diagnose a wiring problem I was having in my attic. An entire side of my house was without power after roofers installed a sky light. Fred found a split and burned wired in the attic, repaired it, and made sure everything worked before leaving. We will hire him again to replace our bath fans.

I have used eWire consistently for all my electrical work over the past couple of years. Fred is a complete professional. He is punctual, competent and his work is of the highest standard. He goes the extra mile to make sure that everything is working perfectly and that the customer is happy with the finished product. His prices are reasonable and I would highly recommend him.

Everything about my experience with Fred was positive. He responded quickly to my initial call, showed up on time to give me an estimate, called when he said he would, showed up on time to do the work and left everything tidy. I have had several bad experiences with other companies in the past. I'm glad I found someone to restore my faith! I will absolutely use Fred for all of my electrical needs.

I am very pleased with the work Fred did. He was very courteous, professional, and helpful making suggestions for improvement and/or longer term stability (e.g. UL approved fan support box, quality motion detector). He offered to get the new garage light for me so that I would not have to go out and find one, and also found a motor for the fan in my bathroom so that I did not have to purchase a new fan. It was so nice to have these things taken care of quickly and efficiently. Thank you.

Fred with eWire was courteous, professional, and carefully evaluted our needs for updated lighting in our kitchen. I worked with him on lighting placement for the recessed lights and pendants. He was able to adjust and overcome obstacles when the initial placement of the lights had interference from the ceiling joints and plumbing from above. We were also impressed at how clean he left the jobsite everyday. The final result is spectacular and has transformed the look of our kitchen - we love the simple act of just turning on the lights to look at it. Fred embodies the phrase "customer service" and is a true professional. I would recommend eWire to anyone in need of electrical work!

Last used E-Wire last week ( 5/22/13) for a continuation of replacement of downstairs recepticles. Called Fred on 5/21 and he was here promptly as promised. Extremely knowledgeable!! Will use his company for all my electrical needs in the future!!
Description of Work: Fred arrived a half hour after being called. I contacted his company believing I had a bad circuit causing my refrigerator to stop. He diagnosed our problem immediately and replaced a number of recepticles that were "original" with our house (1979). The cost was reasonable and his advice invaluable. VERY professional and knowledgeable. Will definitely use his company again!

Everything went well from the very beginning. I called Fred in the early afternoon ( 2: 45 ) and asked if he could install a light fixture He said he was on a job at the present but would be over when he got finished. In about an hour he rang my door bell. I was pleasantly surprised that he could work me in his schedule. He came in and went right to work. He knew exactly what to do. He was very friendly and we talked while he worked.It took him about an hour or so to do the job. If you are looking for quality, professionalism, and customer service at a very affordable price call Fred at ewire company.

I purchased the system at Costco - Samsung SDE-5001 with 8 cameras (upgradeable to 16) Each camera requires an Ethernet cable to transport the image back to a central recorder as well as supply power to the camera. The supplied cables were too short to use in our ranch home. Fred supplied new cables to the cameras. After Fred did an excellent job on the physical installation, the setup and operation was easy for me to initialize on phone, iPad as well as our computers. I was impressed with eWire's approach and subsequent installation. Fred stopped over and we reviewed the equipment as well as looked at potential locations for the cameras. He then performed a thorough research on the Samsung product and the installation requirements. When he returned he explained his ideas of locating the central recorder and reviewed a camera location plan showing the coverage at various angles. We review the details with my wife as at that time I spent a lot of time traveling in my job. (I'm now retired and should have written this a few months ago) Fred worked with my wife during the installation and she was very impressed with the attention to detail and how Fred cleaned up after all the installation dust. I would absolutely recommend his services to anyone interested in employing a true professional electrician.
