Don Kemper, owner arrived promptly as scheduled. He selected the least costly option and repaired the problem quickly. He was skillful and practical and made the repair for the least expensive option. He has 50 years of experience which is obvious in his work. Don was a pleasure to deal with!
Description of Work: He corrected 220 line hookup to clothes dryer that had been connected through antiquated and unnecessary fuse box.

I called Don as a result of seeing the great reviews and that he was local in my town. He promptly returned my call and made it a point to accomodate my schedule, coming by on a Sunday afternoon to look at what was needed and to give me an estimate. He made a great first impression, and gave me a firm and reasonable price for the work. He came by a few days later, fitting me into his busy schedule, and took care of everything for the promised price and even did some extra work at no charge. He took the time to layout the job properly and when it was done all was perfect and cleaned up. I have already decided to use him for some additional projects at my house. I gladly recommend him to everyone.

He arrived on time (in fact he was early). Handled all repairs and. Checked my electric panel to insure that it had not been damaged by water leakage due to missing roof cap. Was very easy to work with. I will definitely call him next time I need electrical work.

I called Don as I had some electrical issues; running multiple appliances cut the breakers. He was punctual; professional and very fair and didn't take advantage of me at all. I appreciate that. My feeling is that he is trustworthy. The only reason I didn't go with Don is that my sister had work done by an electrician and she was happy. But if it wasn't for me sister, I would have hired Don. Thank you Don for being honest with me. I value the input from others and want to also contribute to the these reviews even If I didn't utilize their services. I will definitely reach out to Don in the future Thank you, Robin

In early June, Kemper Electric (Don) did a complete electrical upgrade for me, including replacement of the electrical panel, as well as all entrance cables, ground connections, etc., to bring the new electric service fully up to code. From start to finish, Don was a pleasure to work with. He was extremely responsive to my initial request for information, punctual (for both the free estimate and complete job) and thorough in his work. I was completely pleased and impressed. More importantly, the town inspector who came by thereafter to confirm that the work was done properly said that Don did "a helluva job, better than most." Best yet, perhaps, Don's price for the job was more reasonable than the other two contractors that I contacted - - both highly rated, local electricians recommended on Angie's List. I would most certainly call Don first for any other electrical need and have already recommended him to my neighbor for another job.

They were wonderful, patient and took their time to find the problem and they did! We would definitely utilize them again and feel confident that we have found our family electrician! Highly recommend!
Description of Work: Mr Kemper and his assistant Louis were great!! They patiently looked for the short that caused our electric to go out out on one level of the house. It was a really difficult find but they did it, so now we have light! Louis also changed some of our outdated outlets to three prong and we will have them do more work after the holidays.

Don is prompt, responsive, and very professional! I originally contacted him to fix the recessed lighting in my kitchen (he installed two LED lights), but I was so happy with the outcome that I asked him to come back to install the same light in my hallway. His estimates were accurate, and he got the job done quickly and cleaned up afterwards. I would use him again in a heartbeat, and I would highly recommend him to family/friends.

Don did a great job. He did everything he said he'd do and more. Everything was easy and as advertised; the initial appointment, the quote (right there and then), agreeing to a work date, the job itself and when one of my electrical outlets wasn't working (loose wire due to shear number in tight space) - he came right back out. He apologized for not checking it before he left - unnecessary as it was me that asked him to finish asap as I had a last minute appointment pop-up. I really appreciated his no-nonsense approach - keep it simple, go in, get the job done as promised and get out. Kept a clean working environment and offered solutions when we ran into some unforeseen issues; ceiling joist in the way of new location.
Description of Work: repositioned ceiling light box, consolidated several switch plates in kitchen, added several duplexes (kitchen and garage) and converted a duplex into a quad in garage.

Description of Work: Don Kemper replaced the recessed ceiling light units in our kitchen, replacing them with brighter, longer lasting and more energy efficient units. He had previously done other small electrical jobs for us, such as replacing electrical outlets.

Don was a professional from the first phone call. He knows his stuff. When face with a non working chandelier, Don recommended taking a picture of it and then taking the picture to my local lighting store. What a great idea!!. I found out that it would cost me $300 to have it repaired. Instead, I used by store coupon to purchase a new chandelier. After I have my chandelier, I called Don back with what I wanted done. He was able to give me a quote over the phone. He was also available to do the work on Columbus Day.... a day off for me....... Don called me the morning that the work was to be done. He arrive on time and went right to work. Don was done with everything in less than 2 hours. The price he quoted me was the same one I paid. Don is very personable, professional , punctual. I will recommend him to others as well as use him again.Thanks,Don

Don is very professional, from the timeliness of him returning a phone call to the estimate to the actual work. During the estimate, he gave us several ideas that we had not thought of. When the work started (which took only one day), Don was on the job himself with one helper. They did great work and were very diligent about keeping the area clean, even asking for the furniture to be covered where they would be working. His price was very reasonable and we would definitely use him again and would not hesitate to recommend him.
Description of Work: Don installed a bunch of outlets, both inside and outside our home. He also removed some old track lighting from our family room and replaced them with LED high hats. Finally, he moved two light switches in our walk-in closets and ran power for a to be installed lamp next to our sidewalk.

I've used him in the past, so I knew what I was getting. He arrived on time, was very neat and professional. I will refer him to family and friends in the future. I also plan on doing more work (generator hook up) in the near future and he will be the one I call. Very satisfied with the service as well as the PRICE!
Description of Work: He supplied and installed 4 recessed LED lights in the kitchen and 2 in the bathroom.

Response from Kemper Electric Inc
First let me start by saying I never performed any work for this person I gave an estimate of $275. The customer performed half the work himself then called and asked me to finish the job for $75. When I told him I could not do so I got the negative feedback this person has a history of doing this I will be calling Angie’s list about him.

Don returned my call quickly on a Saturday morning and we arranged to meet Monday morning. Don was punctual and explained the best way to install the outlet and gave us an estimate. We agreed on his proposal and he went to work right away and he completed the install quickly. He even fixed our doorbell at no extra charge. Overall excellent experience!

We received a very prompt response to our request for a quote, and was visited the next day to review the job and get a quote. The quote was very reasonable, and came in less than other quotes we received. The Kemper team was helpful in suggesting options to get the most out of what we were looking for in lighting. We were able to schedule the job to be done just a day or two later. The Kemper team arrived early, and worked quickly and cleanly. All of the work came out great, and we are very pleased with the entire experience. I will definitely use them again for future jobs.

Called for an estimate and call was returned promptly. Don (owner) came out for the estimate. He was very knowledgeable and professional. Felt comfortable with him. Hired him on the spot. The price was fair. Someone I could trust. Arrived to do the job on time. I was very pleased with his work. He finished in a day and cleaned up throughly. Would highly recommend to friends and family. I will use him in the future for the recessed lighting I want to install. A++++
