He did a great job-- gave us reasonable estimates on the new outlets, and got everything up and running again.
Description of Work: We had a kitchen light fixture that wasn't working, and we were interested in installing a couple of new outlets. We purchased a 2-hour labor deal through Angie's List to have him look at all of that at once.

Fred was on time. Professional. Knew what he was doing. Very nice & friendly but also kept working steadily. Very neat, left no mess. Drove extra miles outside of his area to do the work because i accidently used my old work address as my location but fred would not take extra money. WOULD NOT HESITATE TO CALL FRED AGAIN --- in fact we already plan to for more electrical work. JUST CALL FRED!!!

We could not be happier. Correction...my wife could not be happier which is even more important. :) I've not had the pleasure of meeting Fred yet but email exchanges and scheduling were pleasant and quick. My wife was home for the appointment and was very pleased with his promptness, friendly spirit and quality work. Wish we'd called him sooner and will definitely use him again when needed.

It went very well. Fred is a good communicator, friendly and got right to business. He was in and out very quickly. Great work. We'll definitely use him again!
Description of Work: There were several things the home inspector found that needed addressing. Fred answered all the questions I had that were raised by the inspection and did only the work that was needed including re-designating wiring in the box, replacing an circuit breaker and rewiring our garbage disposal. He even reattached the loose electric meter on the back of the house.

Fred was very professional and explained what he would be doing and what had been done once the job was completed. Very honest and open about issues related to the work and he did run into a snag when installing as he drilled through a hot wire feeding our dryer. He didnt try to cover it up but was upfront and fixed the issue by installing 2 junction boxes to replace the damaged wire. Very honest, professional and good guy. Would recomend him to anyone and will definitely use for any of my home electrical needs.
Description of Work: Fred installed a 240 Volt receptacle in my garage for my new AC 225 S Lincoln Welder.

Fred of ewire Electric Company installed lights, changed switches where needed, terminated old swithces no longer requiired, and generally went through my house with recommendations to get it ready to sell this summer. He was prompt, puncutal, hard-working, and very competent. He did additional services for me beyond my initial purchase with Angie's List, because I found his work and its cost to be outstanding. I would recommend him to anyone with specific and general electrical needs. E Frank Tupper

Fred showed up on time did absolute fabulous job of installing the outlet that we had. It was quite a task as he had to go up to the subfloor and into the wall to attach the outlet box. Fred was courteous and cleaned up after. The price was very reasonable. I would recommend him to anyone.

It went great. From start to finish! Fred contacted me promptly, and arrived on time. It was obvious to me that he was knowledgeable, careful and thorough. He explained everything to me. I have more electrical projects at my house, and I will definitely contact Fred again to do the work. The whole experience was extremely positive!

This went fantastically. Fred came on time and although he was coming to give an estimate on several jobs, he was able to get to a couple of jobs on the spot. Because he was able to fix two parts of a diningroom fixture, we did not have a buy a totally new fixture, which saved us over $100. He was able to find a little screw on his truck to allow us to use a glass shade that had been unused for over a year, and we were able to get a beautiful replacement globe for $5.50 at Home Depot based on his advice. He was professional, friendly, and helpful, and we would highly recommend his work to others.

Fred the owner was terrific and very professional. Fred replaced an outlet and we were pleased with his helpfulness and quality work. We were very satisfied and we would use him again and recommend this company to others. I called him recently on another issue and he walked me through some troubleshooting steps on the phone which saved me a service call. You don't experience that every day. We also felt the pricing was very reasonable. We definitely will be using him again for other services.

Fred was very professional while also being very pleasant and easy to talk to. He provided a detailed and accurate estimate before beginning the job. During the job, he explained to me everything he was doing and why. He is very knowledgeable and I had complete confidence in the work he was doing. I will definitely hire him again and recommend him to anyone who needs electrical work done.
Description of Work: Fred fixed the problems found by the home inspector in a home I had just purchased. He also replaced all the receptacles and switches in the interior of the house, added some new receptacles, made some changes in the circuit breaker box for safety reasons, and relabeled the circuit breaker box. He corrected the wiring on an outdoor light that the contractor found while Fred was here doing the other work I had requested.

Mr. Schlosser was able to schedule a service call to my mother's house within a couple days of my request, and according to her caregiver was very courteous and professional. Even though I was not present and had left my instructions in writing, he did exactly what was requested, provided a very detailed invoice, and followed up his visit with a very thorough email outlining what he found, how he addressed each item, and recommendations for follow-up.
Description of Work: Checked suspected faulty receptacles in two different rooms. Made repairs as needed, and also repaired a plug on a portable heater that was the cause of problems observed with one of the receptacles. Inspected heating element on a non-working stove eye. Evaluated all house circuits for purposes of recommending options for proper grounding of ungrounded receptacles.

I was very pleased! Fred spent time finding out exactly what was going on. Then he laid out all the options, from cheapest (getting a new hairdryer) to most expensive (rewiring). He was objective about all three and didn't try to push the most expensive option. It was late in the afternoon, but he went ahead and did the job. I appreciated that, since it meant that I wouldn't have to take another afternoon off from work. He worked until 6:30 to complete it and it's perfect.
Description of Work: Rewired two outlets (one in each bathroom) so that my hairdryer would quit overloading them.

Response from eWire Electric Company
Thank you for choosing eWire Electric Company for this project and for posting a review. We appreciate all feedback and suggestions about our work. I thought it might be helpful to add a few words about why we told this customer that one potential solution to the tripping breaker would be to get a new hair dryer. While there was nothing wrong with the customer's hair dryer, it was one of the most powerful ones I've seen -- 1850 watts at full power. Some quick math showed that the reason why the dryer was tripping the circuit breaker is because it alone uses slightly more than the 15 amp capacity of the bathroom circuit. A less powerful hair dryer (1200 watts for example) would use less electricity and therefore not trip the breaker. The customer chose to have me replace the 15-amp wiring with a new 20-amp circuit. The new circuit can easily handle the 1850 watt druer.

Fred showed up right on time. He was very personable, professional, and knowledgeable. He listened carefully and understood the issue we were having. He spent the entire 2 hours plus a little extra working on tracking down the source of the problem. It was a mystery what was causing a breaker to be thrown off only when certain lights were turned. After some trial and error, he figured it out. I consider myself a pretty good DIYer and spent months trying to figure it out on my own. Should have gotten him over here from the beginning. I would call on Fred again and recommend him without hesitation. He is know our go-to electrician!

Hello, eWire Electric was prompt, professional and extremely fairly prices. Fred arrived on time, and after a few minutes of me explaining the mess I started a few years ago but never finished, he immediately got to work. I had several outlets to install, 2 lights and 3 new breakers; he did it all. Very reasonably priced as I did not have the breakers, switches, boxes etc. I was at a big box store this weekend and for what I was charged by Fred, he was in the ballpark, especially seeing I did not have to make a special trip. He fixed the things I needed done to get my house ready to sell, and will be one of the first people I call when I close on my next one for more outlets (basement) and to get my generator wired to my home. I have nothing negative to say, he is now my electrician. Period. Chris Lentz

Fred replaced two floodlights on the front of my house with weatherproof LED lamps. He replaced two floodlights on the rear of my house with weatherproof LED lamps. He replaced two floodlights on a fence in the backyard with weatherproof LED lamps and correctly changed the settings on the motion detector so it would work properly. I also want to commend Fred for going to the supplier and purchasing these lamps himself without my having to do this, and not knowing exactly what I would need to get. I never doubt his judgment and am never disappointed in his work! A consummate professional! Patsy H. Miller

I had a problem with the electricity in my house, I found this company on the list and called him early in the day, he said he would be here at 9:30 am and arrived here early. He did extensive testing and determined the power company was the issue, once he figured out the problem and called Duke energy, he waited until the company arrived and worked with the company to provide them with the information from the extensive test he ran. He even stayed till it was finished to make sure everything was back in it's proper place. He called me later to make sure it was taken care of. He was very prompt and professional. I would rate his service and expertise as excellent.
