Victor was supposed to do the job one day later, but because there was a snowstorm coming, he agreed to do two jobs in one day and accomodate my request to do the job one day earlier. Victor showed up on time, did a great job according to the contract. No games, no bait-and-switch - simply delivering on what he had promised earlier. I was very impressed and will call him again in the future.
Description of Work: I asked Victor to come in and provide an estimate for an installation of a generator / two new outlets. Victor showed up on time, and was very professional. He also identified that my electric panel did not strictly adhere to the code, and offered to fix that issue, as well. His quote was fair - not the cheapest, yet not the most expensive, either.

AVD Electric came and provided estimate for job. The estimate was very reasonable. Once I approved we scheduled date to perform work. We needed to file for permit, AVD assisted in process. AVD contacted the local utility company to open outside service panel to start the job. Once all the prerequisites completed the job was done the next available business day. The completed work was inspected but AVD needed to return in response to town inspectors request to reroute cables. The work was done quickly and at no additional charge. AVD was clean, courteous and professional.
Description of Work: Replaced 200amp electrical panel, reattached exterior service to the house and installed transfer switch for generator.

Victor came to my house to assess the situation and was able to find the proper breaker for my electrical panel. We agreed on the cost and a date to install the system. Victor was prompt and completed the work in a few hours. He was neat and clean and I am very satisfied with his work.
Description of Work: I purchased a portable generator and wanted to have the ability to connect the generator directly to my main breaker panel in order to have my home powered during electrical outages. I had two choices. One was to have a transfer switch installed and the other was to have an "Interlock Breaker" installed. I opted for the Interlock Breaker.

He was prompt and professional. He went right to work. I had to draw pieces at one end to put in and he got right to the dimmers in time and did a very good job. I was really pleased with the job he did. I had a very good experience. I think the price was fair for what he did.
Description of Work: AVD Electric LLC changed some electrical outlets and put up some dimmers for me.

.AVD Electric is owned by Victor Varela, a young electrician who recently started his own business. He installed a generator transfer switch at my home that I had purchased as an Angie's List "Big Deal". The deal itself was very reasonably priced, $850 for the entire job including all parts and labor. I was very pleased with Victor. He contacted me initially to arrange the installation, showed up on time, seemed very knowledgable, answered all my questions and, as far as I can tell, did an excellent job. I would certainly use AVD again and can highly recommend Victor based on my one experience.

did a good job. he was courteous and seemed to know his craft extremely well. Familiar with the issue and did an elegant installation that i feel good about. Moved quickly--he wasn't going to waste any of my money. one area of dispute was whether the Big Deal included an evaluation of the wiring in the house. The ad said yes, he said no. Angie's List is investigating and will get back to me. Personally if i were he i'd have just done it--possibility of more work--but he felt strongly this wasn't what he'd signed up for. UPDATE 1/24 from Angie's List: AL read him the wording of the posting, clearly indicating an electrical inspection is included, but he doesnt want to do it. Weird--also AL is supposed to get this wrapped up one way or another and is a bit late.

Just another case of someone trying to get something for nothing. Member bought Angie's List deal for $99 (two hours of electrical labor or house inspection). I made two visits to the member's home. During the first visit, I spent close to one hour (time was not billed to member) reviewing the work the member wanted done and reviewing his home. Then, I spent additional time purchasing materials to complete work needed (time not billed to member). During, the second visit, I installed a transfer switch, wired the inlet box and labeled all circuits used. Then removed brand new generator out of box and assembled it. Then took it down several steps off his deck and into the yard. Lastly, I put oil and gasoline in it and showed member how to properly operate the generator. After all this work, the member stated a home inspection was also included in the Angie's List deal. WOW! At that point I felt that the member was taking advantage of me. The original deal involved two hours of labor or home inspection. I stand by delivering prompt, professional, service. However, I can't afford to work for free.

Victor seemed very knowledgeable and I feel very comfortable trusting him on future projects. So far, so good!
Description of Work: We purchased an Angie's List deal for AVD Electric as we are new to the area and in need of a reliable electrician. As such, we had only a small job (replacing some outlets) done this time. Victor arrived promptly and was very professional and courteous. He toured our house while I discussed our concerns and future projects. He took notes and will provide us with an estimate for other work, i.e. hooking up a generator.

Victor went above and beyond our expectations. He gave us a very reasonable estimate and continued working at our house until he completed the job. We had other people working at the house when Victor was there. He was considerate and always made sure everyone had power who needed it. He left all work areas clean and was very professional. We would use Victor again for electrical work.
Description of Work: Updated our old panel to 200 amp, replaced the meter and service cable, in addition to other repairs.

My wife and I decided after the past hurricane that we would purchase a portable generator for back up power during the next storm. I went in Angie's list and selected AVD Electric LLC. From the initial call to set up an appointment to when he left after the job was completed, Victor was professional, on time, pleasant and gave valuable information to help in the purchase of the proper equipment and installation. Victor did something very rare in the world of construction folks, he did exactly what he said he would do without the typical BS that so many deliver these days. I would recommend Victor and AVD Electric LLC to anyone who wants a painless and well priced experience with an electrical problem
Description of Work: Preliminary review of equipment and recommendations for Installing a portable generator to our electrical panel. Installed an interlocking kit and exterior outlet. Ran field test with utility power completely off and house powered by generator. Checked all circuits to find maximum load for the generator.

I purchased the $99 coupon on Angie's list for an electrical inspection, and used the time purchased to try to solve the problem of our lights dimming. We had previously contacted another electrician who did not fix the problem, so we tried AVD Electric. Victor arrived for the appointment as promised and had the problem solved within an hour. I would highly recommend AVD Electric.

All went well with contractor arriving on time with all materials that were needed for the project. Explained details of the project as the work progressed.
Description of Work: We requested that wiring be installed to hook up a recently pruchased generator. Contractor requested pictures of the electrical box be sent by so that he could evaluate the mateials that were needed. This was completed by iphone. . Purchases were made, and materials were installed and tested. The cost of the service included the cost of materials, additional hours of work and the initial coupon for services. Contractor was very easy to contact and to converse with regarding the project. All questions were answered and a full demonstration on how to use the generator was completed. Home owner was involved in decision making on circuits to be connected, etc.

He came the same day I bought the coupon for his services. He was punctual and seemed to e a nice guy.
Description of Work: He came in and changed a light switch. I thought he might change the wires, but didn't. He did look over our electrical panel and other major wiring. He said that he would send us an estimate, but he never did. He did send an estimate on adding overhead lighting in our living room.

He was very prompt, even a little early. When he installed the new GFi outlet in the bathroom, he told me that the light is not normally wired through the GFI and offered to fix that, which he did. He was very professional, and appeared to know his business! If necessary, I would call him again.

After buying the offer, I sent an email to the company with my phone number. Victor called me back right away, set a date of coming by, came to my home on time, and checked everything I asked him to look at. He was very polite and easy to deal with. He explained why I had a problem with one outlet and advised me of how to circumvent it. He also checked my electric box and tested other outlets. Because I was pleased with what he did, I then asked him to estimate the cost of installing ceiling heat lamps in 2 bathrooms and a ceiling light in one room. I accepted his estimates and have scheduled the work. UPDATE: I did call Victor back and he did an excellent job installing the heat lamps and ceiling light. It was more expensive than I had expected, but it too so much time that I think it was a reasonable price. In addition, I appreciated that Victor was able to schedule his work for the same day my painting contractor would also come to do painting and wallpaper repairs that were needed after the lamps and light installation. I was very pleased and would definitely call this company in the future.
Description of Work: This was an Angie's list special deal for 2 hours of work at $99.00 which included a full safety check of the electrical system.

We had very positive experience with Victor. He called to confirm an appointment and showed up on-time. He gave us the fair price for the additional work we asked him to perform and stayed within the quote he gave us orginally. He provided us with all parts needed in order to finish the job and completed it very professionally and neat. So, we are keeping his contact info for our future projects.
Description of Work: The main reason for the call was to install Pottery Barn chandelier along with replacing few old electrial outlets that were without the ground prong.
