Work was done quickly, neatly, professionally, and with minimal disruption. I'm very happy with the results. I intentionally didn't pick the lowest cost estimate, but instead picked the one that I had most confidence in their abilities. I think Mike Chambers Oakhurst Electric was the best choice.

They did a good job and determined there was not an electrical problem. The issue was more related to the furnace. I apreciate their honesty and I would highly recommend them. They are genuine, easy to talk to and they are likeable people. I will definitely use them again.

Mike Chambers ' team did an excellent job. My wife and I had a relatively straightforward request - install two quad outlets in a room with only one existing outlook (on a different, but adjacent wall). We got a couple of other estimates in the $1,200 range. In one case, an electrician said he would tap the existing outlet and then would need to cut a channel in the wall to the new outlets. The other said he would have to cut out holes in the drywall at multiple points between the existing and new outlets. In both cases, we would have to repair the drywall, spackle, and paint. Greg from Mike Chambers' came out and suggested tapping an outlet in the room next door. This way, he could snake wires from the existing outlet to the new outlets and would not have to do any damage to the walls. Greg's team ended up doing the job for a fraction of the cost and completed the work in about 35 minutes (the other's estimated a 4-6 hour job). We couldn't believe how painless and relatively inexpensive this project was, especially after the other estimates we received. I would highly recommend Mike Chambers - they are knowledgeable and ethical!

The transformer installation was fine. The electrician (Wes) seemed very knowledgeable, and very professional. Pricing seemed to be on par with other quotes. Response time was a bit waned, as we had to follow up with them on getting quotes and the coordinator Sharon seemed a bit frazzled and curt with a busy schedule. If I had one sugestion, it would be that the Friday before the installation (which was supposed to be Monday), they contacted us and said that the electrician is on vacation (returning Monday) and they were not sure if he had all the right parts, to move it to Tues. A little more advance notice would have been appreciated as this home is an hour away from our primary residence and we have to take off work to come down. They knew that when we booked our appt 2 weeks earlier :). Otherwise, great job!

I found two electrical contractors through Angie’s list and set up time for an estimate. Each sales representative arrived on time, took stock of the work required, clearly described the process and what I should expect as the final product, and within a few days, I had two estimates for the work. The estimate from Mike Chambers Oakhurst Electric was lower, but it was not the price that sold me. It was my experience with the sales person, the office staff, and the fact that they are a family owned business that sold me. I contracted with Mike Chambers Electric and I am so glad I did. The entire experience was effortless. I have worked with many types of contractors in the past and always have had to fight with them to honor the unwritten but spoken agreement for their work. This was not so with Mike Chambers Electric. The team arrived on the job on-time, allowed me to watch their work and ask questions, and completed the work in one day. The team was hard working and respectful of my Mother when she came outside to observe their progress. I cannot say enough good things about my experience and the professionalism of the team. If you have any need for electrical work, call Mike Chambers’ Oakhurst Electric and know that they are a company you can count on to complete your project quickly, safely, and at a fair price.

I made an appointment last week for today, June 8, to check 2 attic ventilators that are not working. I was told we were the 2nd stop on the list and they should be here before 12pm. No one showed up or called, so at 2pm, I called Chambers and was told the order was not in the book and the person who booked the appointment was on vacation and could not be reached. The person I spoke to apoligized, but I told her that we had been waiting all day for service to come, and that was unacceptable, and that I would find someone else. We have used Mike Chambers service before and have had an issue with the time they showed up, but this is a first. Unfortunately it will be the last time I call them.

Unfortunately no one is perfect and we really fell down on this job. In the chaos of the main office scheduler leaving for vacation your appointment was not recorded and the staff covering her did not know to send the technician to your home. In the wake of this issue we have completely revamped the way we keep our calendar. We have moved away from a paper book and to a computerized system. Hopefully we will not fail this badly again. We are sorry that we disappointed you so greatly. We would love to earn back your trust if provided the opportunity.

This is the first vendor I used from Angie's list, and I am now a believer. I was skeptical on why this service was worth the money, but after my experience with Chambers Electric I am a happy member. Chambers Electric was fantastic! They came out on time, fixed the circuit issue quickly, were courteous, the cost was exactly what they said it should be, and they ensure we validated all of the work done was correct. At the end of each part of the job they had me confirm it worked as I had specified, confirmed any and all related parts of the house were fine. We had a quick change to our scope and they were able to accommodate it without issue. Chambers Electric will be our Electrician henceforth.

I had some work done on my home preparing it for sale. Afterwards, the circuit breaker kept tripping and a bedroom circuit was completely dead. The electrician from Mike Chambers came and figured out that the wiring was all messed up in a couple of places. It looks like the handyman screwed the wiring when he removed a light and for some reason rewired an electric socket. The electrician sorted it out very quickly and professionally. Moral of story: never let a handyman touch your wiring. Next time I will call these guys and avoid a potential fire or electrocution.
Description of Work: Diagnosed and fixed faulty wiring.

It took about not even a half an hour and the, I believe, is about $175. If I had a complaint about the guy who put the electrical line in, I didn't like his comment about getting another Fireplace guy because he said I don't need a permit. But other than that, he did what he had to do and he passed inspection. Well, it was an easy job. The fact that he came and did it and it was very quick. It was filled out of money. Maybe that's their minimum, $175. That's a lot of money to just want to fire.
Description of Work: I used him for electric. I got his device that is very similar and I used him. He hires out evidently. The guy that was sent was somebody that he contracted out to do the work. It was putting a switch and putting an electrical line to try the fireplace.

I am so very sorry that you were not 100% satisfied with our technician. I wish that you would have contacted us at the time of service, so that we could have worked through the situation with you. We do not subcontract our technicians for residential work. The man that you saw was an employee that might have been using his own truck that particular day, as we have been in the process of repainting all of our vehicles. As for your thoughts on our price, the work was estimated and approved by you prior to our visit. I noticed that there were several line items that you chose not to have done at that time. We also do work on a time and material basis, but that was not the case at your home because of the amount of work that you initially requested. I hope that if you have an issue in the future you will contact us so that we can make it right.

They were okay but they were expensive. They are kind of an institutional-sized operation so their people are trained and professional and their equipment is good and because of that, I think perhaps, they're more expensive than the local guys and not quite as responsive. They did recent competent work but it cost more than I would have liked. I felt like I needed to think of every little detail to tell them, which I guess is fair enough, but with a lot of the local guys they just kind of bring to your attention like, "Hey, I was here. I saw these things and you might want things have done." I am not an electrician so it's good to have that kind of help. These guys are not really like that. They just have a list to execute and then they leave then I'd be like, "Wait, here's two things you should have done when you were down there." That was a little frustrating.

Thank you very much for leaving your thoughts. I am sorry that you were not as pleased as you could have been. We do offer our employees a living wage and health benefits, it is something we are proud of and we have a very low turnover and highly experienced workforce because of it. As you state in the home information section your house was built in 1891. You also stated to the estimator that you were cost conscious. If we had found any safety issues, I assure you that our technicians would have advised you that repairs were necessary. As it was we completed the work that you requested and advised you when other work was not feasible. I am sorry that you were not fully satisfied but I hope that we can earn back your business in the future.
