I left a message with the person who answered the phone. She attempted to reach the owner and was unable to. She took a message and my phone number and said he'd call me back. He didn't. If he can't act in a businesslike manner I don't want him working for me.
Description of Work: I needed a floor plug repaired and an outdoor light fixture installed.

The work went great. Russ and Colby were very fast and produced some quality work for less than what other companies quoted us. In that regard, we were very happy with them. The only reason I gave a couple of B's was because there was some confusion around the timeline that I just wish would have been better communicated to us. We booked them for a big project, but did not realize the fans could not be installed (we had no ceiling lights/fans upstairs) on the same day the panel was installed. That was not communicated to us, so we booked them for one day. The day before Russ called and explained there would not be time for both the next day, so we would schedule a second day, two weeks out, to install the fans. He was already booked for two weeks at that point. Had we known that, we would have booked him for two days in a row the day we originally scheduled the job. The fans were the whole point of us getting a new panel that could support them. We were planning to have them installed before it got too hot upstairs, but had to wait through the worst heat wave without them. They ended up finishing several hours early with the electric panel on the first day, so I asked them to just install the fans that day, but they wanted to wait until the next scheduled appointment. Anyway, the timing/communication was just a little frustrating, but I guess that is to be expected with busy contractors. I know their schedules are crazy. Overall, they did great work and we will definitely hire them again if we need electrical work done.
Description of Work: Installation of new electric panel and two ceiling fans.

Description of Work: Replaced knob and tube wiring throughout my 1920s-era house. Replaced broken/burned out light fixtures, installed new ceiling fans & sub-panel, and replaced some outlets. I wasn't expecting to do this much work or spend so much, but am happy that I had the work done by Select Electric. I would definitely recommend them.

We had Russ a variety of electrical jobs for us. He was courteous and prompt and did not complain about going into the attic when it was hot outside. He always stood by his estimates, even when hanging our chandelier took four hours instead of the one hour he had estimated. Great work done with integrity at a fair price.

It went well. Russ was on time and thorough. We had some trouble locating the cause of the original problem but he went through everything very methodically and eventually located the issue. We were very pleased with his work and would recommend him to anyone.
Description of Work: Had to repair faulty wiring from the original house contractor that had failed and overheated a circuit. Installed new wiring, rewired some outlets and added new breaker.

I called them for an additional appointmen to follow up on the estimate they had given me on some wiring in my garage. On November 5, again after I had already left a message w/ out a call back, I got through to them on the phone. I set up an appointment for Friday, November 9. I scheduled no work for myself that day so I could be home specifically for this appt. Come Friday, no call/no show. I left two messages that day. As of 11/15/12, I still have not got a call back.
Description of Work: They wired a waterfall and lights for a shed for me last summer. The work they did was fine, except that it took a few messages before I got a call back. They also gave me an estimate for somewiring that I need in my garage.

Response from Select Electric
Dear [member name removed]; I just wanted to apologize for missing our appointment for Nov 9, 2012, the only explanation I can offer you is that I had a young apprentice by the name of Ryan Finken working for me at the time, and I had given him the responsibility of scheduling and making sure we met our scheduled appointments.Evidently it was too much responsibility for him. The bottom line is that I am ultimately responsible for my customers, and take full responsibility for the mishap. Mr. Finken is no longer with the company. I would hope that should you need some electrical work done in the future that you would give me another opportunity to prove to you that Select Electric really does want and appreciate your business.

He did a really good job and was cheaper than everyone else, plus he had a good reputation. He guaranteed his work, which was very good. Everything was signed off by the inspector, who said he was one of the best electricians in the city. He was right on time. Very friendly, personable, get the job done, no nonsense.
Description of Work: He changed out the fuse box with a circuit breaker and added an outlet in the bathroom.
