Mr. Bay performed his electrical services in a very professional manner. He corrected electrical wiring/installation errors made by previous electricians, and installed both exterior and interior light fixtures expertly. He was very prompt to the job site, and provided both military/senior discounts for his services. I am exceedingly pleased with his and the company's performance.
Description of Work: Exterior and interior light fixture installation and re-installation; exterior electrical outlet replacement; and smoke alarm maintenance.

They did accomplish the job, but did not seem very knowledgeable about electronics and how they are wired. Father and son operation, and the son knew a little bit about how to hook up my various peripherals, but I had to direct regarding some of the hook-ups. They did a professional job of the through-the-wall wire installation, but left a minimal amount of "play" in the wires, I so have difficulty cleaning behind the cabinet in which my devices were hidden, or accessing the rear of the devices. But it all works now, and the Angie's List Deal was inexpensive.
Description of Work: Installed new TV on wall with wires hidden in wall.

The service was top notch, very professional, quick and great to work with. They do not try to up sell and will tell you if something really needs to be upgraded or not. He really does try to save you money, as another reviewer pointed out and is why I trust them for my electrical work. I highly recommend them, they are fantastic!
Description of Work: Fixed un-grounded GFI outlet in bathroom and bedroom, fixed panel in garage which was not wired correctly by previous owner. They are fantastic to work with, very easy, very honest and fast service. You can't go wrong with them.

The terms of the Big Deal stated that Santa Fe was included in the service are of the Big Deal, though the provider wanted to charge a $25 service fee for coming form Albuquerque. He also was unable to meet any of the dates that I wanted to have the service performed as he was booked until next Monday. That essentially undoes the value of the Big Deal, so I have requested a refund of the purchase from Angie's List.
Description of Work: This was a Big Deal purchase for $99 for up to 2 Hours of Electrical Labor.

Response from Current Security and Electric
Angie's List was to have removed my Big Deal offer from Sante Fe County. This was not the case. Angie's list forgot to remove my big deal from Sante Fe County, you can see by this customer's response he was not happy when I told him there would be a $25 surcharge for fuel. Instead of inquiring about the availability of my company to handle the call, he went ahead and purchased the big deal. The customer wanted me to come out right away. I had already booked work from other clients a week in advance. I told him a date a week from when he called. He refused service and told me that wasn't soon enough. Do your due diligence. Contact the contractor and first find out if the can come out during your expected time frame. Unfortunately I got a C rating because Angie's list did not correct my on line add when I had asked them to do so weeks prior to this purchase. Nice One Angie's List!

We originally purchased a Big Deal for $99 from another provider who was unable to perform the work because they were not certified to work on a pre-manufactured home. Peter was willing to accept the same deal and scheduled us immediately because we had one entire wall in our home without electricity. It's summer in New Mexico and it happened to be the wall with the Air Conditioner. Needless to say his urgency was appreciated. He arrived on time and immediately started troubleshooting the issue. Once he verified the breaker needed to be replaced he had to drive to four different stores to get the parts. He was still able to diagnose the issue, get the parts, replace and test all of the circuits in the two hour time frame. It was unbelievably refreshing to have a contractor who was so prompt, efficient and competent in getting the job done. I would absolutely love to have him come back and take care of some switches and fixtures that need some tlc.
Description of Work: Peter replaced two breakers that were bad or going bad in our breaker box. Required troubleshooting to determine issue first.

This customer called me and we had set an appointment for Friday June 27th @ 1:00 pm. On the day we spoke which was Wednesday 6/25 I had had my mobile phone replaced by my provider. When this was done this customer's phone number was lost. I immediately tried to communicate thru Angie's List Business Center with no reply. I then sent several emails to his personal email account with no response. I was unable to communicate with this customer there was no contact information or address just a P.O. Box. This customer was also surprised when we discussed the work that was to be done would most likely exceed the $99 special for two hours of electrical work. I made more than four attempts to contact this member prior to the appointment date. There are people in this world who you can never please, no matter how hard you try to make it right!

I called Current (Peter) on a Saturday morning when another scheduled electrician failed to keep our appointment. Peter said he was on his way to another job but if I was available later that day he might be able to stop by and work on my light switch. Received a call from him in a couple hours and indeed he could stop by and take a look. As he was coming in from over 50 miles away, I didn't expect him to arrive at the exact minute he was shooting for, but he did arrive extremely close considering the distance. At first, he was baffled by my mystery light, but soon figured it out and was able to fix well within the time estimated. Overall great job. Very happy with my service

Provider was extremely respectful, had experience with both installing windows and installing security systems, and had seen this scenario before. Will refund my original fee if I don't opt to use his services.
Description of Work: I had requested service provider to reinstall window alarm contacts after having my windows replaced. He inspected areas, informed me that window installers had cut wiring to my alarm system, and could only dig into walls to show me disconnect of system. Told me he would provide me with a quote for new wireless alarm, which he did by next day.

They arrived on time for the appointment, were very professional, and did an excellent job with the installation. The only problem was that they charged approximately $400 more than we anticipated because the entire process took nearly 5 hours to complete.

Response from Current Security and Electric
When purchasing the big deal sometimes the customer does not read the entire explanation of the big deal. To begin with, this was an extra large ,75" flat panel TV which constitutes an additional charge for handling (which was not charged). The price that was paid to Angie's list was $99 by the customer for the first two hours of labor. The installation took approximately Five hours and there were two techs and myself (owner operator). I did not charge for my time on the job. This comes out to 10 man hours. The first two hours @$99 then the remaining eight hours at $67.50 per man hour which is $540. The total installation should have been $639. The total price paid was just under $500. That is a savings of approximately $140 for the customer. " lager and more complicated installations take more time than two hours for $99". Now my company has gotten a low rating because this customer failed to read the entire Big Deal.

Very well, reminding me of early-life experiences with repairmen: people to look forward to for the their professional expertise, their teaching, their sociability, friendliness. After setting things up and testing, Current Security patiently convinced me that I had purchased a speaker system that was not right for me. The team packed up that system, cleaning up the trash as well, and took those items to ship back to the seller, agreeing to notify me of a better system, to obtain it, and to return to install that system; thus, I learned a good deal, am recouping the money for my earlier purchase, and will have an installed system that satisfies me. Since their visit, I have had emails from Current Security detailing the process and progress of our present dealings. I am entirely satisfied and highly recommend this company, just as I'm grateful to Angie's List for having discovered the company in the first place. I add that I am multiply disabled. This transaction is making possible decisions and actions I could not have achieved on my own.

Peter was absolutely great to work with. He arrived on time, worked efficiently, and explained what he was doing. The issue I called about was a single receptacle that had overheated and melted down in an office that was a recent addition to the house. He explained that it was due to the previous installer using 15 amp outlets on a 20 amp circuit, which was very concerning to me as I work from home and have quite a bit of equipment in that office. The scope of the work changed as I added in all the other outlets I now wanted replaced, including several in the older part of the house where there is still aluminum wiring. As it was getting late in the day on Friday he offered to come back on Saturday morning .He then gave me the opportunity to save some money by purchasing the outlets myself and even wrote down exactly what items to purchase. He arrived on time Saturday morning and brought along assistance. The whole process went quickly and smoothly, and I feel as if the cost was a great value for the amount of work done. We will be having him back soon to install some security lighting and I am confident that I have found a reliable, professional, skilled electrician.

Peter did a great job! The floor outlet was built into the slab which Peter identified quickly and recommended that I do not do that work because the cost would not be worth it. One set of outlets only needed the GFI reset to work so Peter identified that quickly. The other outlet had a bad receptacle so Peter identified the issue and went to home depot to get the correct part. He was back quickly and replaced what was needed. I would definitely use him for electrical work in the future.
Description of Work: I called Peter to look at 2 items in my house. One item was to lower a floor outlet because I just replaced carpet with a wood floor. The other item was a few outlets that were not working.

Peter Bay was wonderful to work with. He responded to my initial inquiry almost immediately and got us on his schedule quickly. He was efficient and direct in discussing the work to be done, communicated the options very clearly, provided helpful information and explanations, and did great work (with his son). We are very pleased with our new lights and enjoyed working with Peter.
