Joe took our weekend call - we were very happy they are available even weekends and holidays! It saved us from replacing all the food from our freezer and we couldn’t wait till Monday. It was important to us that it will get fixed as soon as possible and he did that. He was very friendly and professional. He gave us a straightforward price on how much is the weekend call ( there is an extra cost for emergency calls) so we weren’t surprised by all the charges. Also the diagnosis costs counts towards the fix which is great! We would recommend!

They were able to dispatch someone over the same day to get me an estimate. They are very good and the job turned into a little more than I expected as they had to install a dedicated line to the disposal which had to go through the attic and crawlspace which is part of the building code. The electrician is very nice and professional. They are very responsive to phone calls and call you right back.

Paid the "walk in the door" charge and the first outlet unfortunately. If he told me what it would cost to replace the first outlet I would have declined. I only paid because he replaced my outlet before presenting me with the invoice for the total job. When I was told $191.00 for installing 2 remaining wall switches I told him to forget it. Basically 2 wall switches and 1 replaced outlet is just under $500.00 ~ BE ADVISED!
Description of Work: Walk in the door (65.00) Change out one outlet (191.00) Change 2 wall switches (191.00) The very nice technician called it a "diagnosis". I knew I needed 1 outlet and 2 switches replaced. I don't need that diagnosed. $479.15 for a mere 20 minutes of work. Ridiculously overpriced. Go elsewhere.

The electrician was prompt and courteous.He examined the dimmer switch and indicated that it may be repaired but the repair may not last or it can be relaced.I opted to have the switch replaced. I was taken back by price of the part and the electrician showed me the parts catalogue which listed the price.I didn't receive an work order so i forgot the price itself.The overall job cost 310.67 which included troubleshooting and replacement of the faulty part.The part made by Lutron 3 way preset dimmer incandescent three-way ay 603p.ay603pg,ay603pn. The electrician answered all my questions.

He did a good job of promptly arriving at our doorstep but besides that were very unreasonable. First of all the company charges a $49 fee just to get to your house. Next there is a ridiculously high diagnostic fee of $191.73. I was not told I had to pay that. But, without paying that he would not do anything to check it out. I had to pay it. He find out what was wrong. The board is needed to replaced. but, the board in our house is smaller than boards nowadays so a bigger board would have to be bought and a bigger hole in the wall would have to be cut. We were quoted for $2580 if we went through with the job which included a $125 fee to get the permit which the company would make money off of to get it. Their price is sky high. Thanks Angie's List, I found another company, who did not charge any fee to come check out and quotes us almost half of the price, which even including to fix the hole they have to make. As permit fee, they only ask what ever the township changes that is $70.
Description of Work: The technician from the company came and diagnosed a bad electrical board for our house (built in 1995). Found the problem and said the only option was to change the board.

I called on a Saturday Morning and Will came out to check things out. The problem was much worst than I anticipated and we sat down and talked through him replacing my electical panel. He worked tirelesly until about 9pm that evening making everything perfect. Will is an electrician that takes pride in his work and it showed in the ob he did for me. I have never had to deal with an electrician before and Will really made me feel comfortable with my decision and I will definitly use him and his company again.
Description of Work: My existing Electical Box was replaced to a newer 200 amp box, the grounding was redone to accomodate the new box The cost for this was Aprox. $2800. I had my wiring to the outside A/C Condeser unit redone to put the correct size wire in for the correct amps This was about $550.

They were prompt to get here to look at the work needed to be done. However, he said he had to charge me to diagnose the problem and it was going to be $483.00 to fix it and I thought this was extremely over priced.

My home was built in 1700 and so, I have had people over constantly. He could not help it with regards to the cost as that was what they charged to send someone over. He was a very nice guy. He was sorry to have charged me that amount. He left a very positive impression on me. He knew as to what he was about. He was a very pleasant person. He came right on time. I would tell my friends and family members that they would charge $200 for a house call but it would probably be worth it if there was something seriously wrong. It was worth it for me to get that piece of information because I did not know as to why my basements lights were not on. My basement was horrible as it was built in the 1700 and I had to have a drape before I went down there. It was not very good when it was dark. It would have been a fair price if there was something seriously wrong but it was a fact of my ignorance of my electric board and not his problem. The quality was great. I would definitely call them again in the future and they would absolutely be on my list of people to call.
Description of Work: I have used the services of Kaiser Electric Company Incorporated two or three months ago for a service house call. He was kind enough to tell me that I needed to push something on my electric board so that the lights would come on in my basement.

Armed with Kaiser's detailed proposal of the work, I drafted my own proposal using exactly the same contract language & presented it to three other reputable electrical contractors in my area for an estimate. All three contractors were highly-rated, experienced, state licensed & insured ( I assure you! I checked them out thoroughly!!) Their estimates came back as follows---- $4900.00, $6200.00, & $8100.00 respectively. And they all stated that they perform the work using qualified, experienced personnel (no subcontractors) & warranty all their work. I am signing with the contractor at the highest price-point ($8100.00). He owns the company & performs all the work personally because, as he said, "its my reputation that's on the line with each & every job I do". I do enjoy working with a PROFESSIONAL who is not firing-off outrageously high estimates in the hopes of connecting with another ignorant, ill-informed homeowner.
Description of Work: I first learned of this company via word-of-mouth recommendation from a trusted neighbor on my block. This neighbor spoke highly of Chris, the company's electrician who had completed the work on his home in the past. I checked their status on Angie's List, & everything seemed encouraging, so I set-up an appointment for an estimate on a complete kitchen remodeling/rewiring job. I contacted them & was advised by the company's representative that Chris was no longer employed by Kaiser (stated so in a clearly negative way when speaking of the former employee). They said they would be sending another technician --Doug-- who was equally competent. Doug arrived on time and was thorough in his assessment of the work which needed to be done. He asked all the right questions. He appeared to be knowledgeable about the importance of providing each individual kitchen appliance (commercial-grade appliances) with the appropriate supply of power for proper installation & operation, thus maintaining the manufacturers warranty. I had every intention of using this company to do the work, until I received their proposal in the form of an email. The proposal was very specific & itemized, detailing the service upgrade from the existing 150 AMPS ---> 200 AMPS, with parts to be used on installation, etc. ***TOTAL PRICE ---- $18,515.62 !!! I was understandably shocked!! I contacted the company to discuss their proposal & get an understanding of how they arrived at this grand figure!! Their answer to me was --- "we are 'a service company', we provide follow-up service once the work is complete & warranty the work we do, should there be any problems in the future"!! The company's owner reassured me that the prices they quoted were from an industry "pricing book" that specifies what is reasonable & customary for the work to be performed. Doug also followed-up with a phone call to me to discuss the proposal, but assured me that he had no authority over pricing-out jobs & only submitted his assessment of the work to the office for final review & completion. ***IS VIOLATING UNSUSPECTING CUSTOMERS PART OF THE COMPANY'S SERVICE PLAN??

Called for the electrical conversion from gas stove range to electrical smoothtop stove range. This was to include plug connection for range, wire range connection and the proper circuit breakers in the electrical panel box. I should of known something was up when electrician put on some slip-on booties to show how clean he was in which in my opinion was a gimmick. Knew something was up when he mentioned "you might want to sit down for this and had a slight smirk on his face. Gave me astronomical estimate of $1490.69 for the job whereas had the job done for approximately 1/5 the price from a competitor. Their estimate includes a standard rate along with their actual value rate they charge and in my opinion another gimmick. Wanted to install another receptacle outlet when one already existed and additional wiring work. Along with on top of that he try to sell me additional insurance that should of been covered by their 1 year warranty. In my opinion saw a women and sense he could take advantage of. Thought to myself he was overcharging for unnecessary services and simply trying to gouge me. Consumers steer clear of them unless rich and gullible.

I called for an estimate of a fairly sizable job. The company committed to a Friday morning and I waited around, but they never showed. They then called on Saturday to say the could come over to provide an estimate. I wasn't available, but told them I'd call to schedule another appt. I called to schedule another appt the following Friday. The answering service took the call, confirmed that they would be over on Friday to provide an estimate. When they called the next Friday, they knew nothing about the estimate and wanted to perform the work that day. I told them I wanted an estimate, at which point I was told there would be a charge for the estimate, which I could apply to the job. I was never told about a charge for the estimate and I certainly wasn't scheduling the work that day. There were just too many "mis-understanings" to be credible. The entire exchange seemed very contrived, at which point I opted not to have them provide an estimate.
Description of Work: I was seeking an estimate to have some aluminum wire pig-tailed, outdoor lighting added, new light switches in the house and some fans added.

The electrician arrived on time, was very courteous about putting on shoe covers so as not to bring in dirt, and quickly evaluated the work. Once I agreed the quote (which was done from a book of quotes) the work was done right away.
