We ended up paying about $600.00 for the service. The first electrician came and told me to go to Home Depot to pick a bulb for the bathroom as he did not have any in his van. I told him I could wait for him to come back with one another time but he indicated that there would be a service charge for that. So I went to Home Depot, spent $30.00 on a light (was not told I needed it to be waterproof) and came home, walked I the door and was told that they don't use Home Depot lights. Okay. So next, we have two overhead lights in the entryway, both installed by the Electric Company. I would be surprised if they have even seen an hour of use though we bought them from the Electric Co. with the verbal guarantee that they were good for like five years. Well one burned out and they again did not come with replacements. The electrician brought two back so they would match and we paid about $40.00 for each light plus another $120 for a return visit even though this electrician said it would be $60.00 to come back. We also paid $120 for the first visit. Then the light in the bathroom had a big gap between the seal and the drywall. They sent a new electrician who did a good job fixing the gap but asked if I still had the rim from the original light. I didn't and was never told to keep it. This was another $180.00. I am really disappointed with the exception of the third visit and the new electricians repair.
Description of Work: We needed three light bulbs changed as we have very high ceilings.

Called and made appointment for an estimate. For what we needed the estimate was reasonable. Electrician Glen came a looked at what needed to be done and gave us a price. Glen was outstanding. Showed up on day of installation on time and started immediately working. Removed old fan and installed new one and then found that this old house needed some additional wires run from the panel. Performed that task and tested and everything now works fine. We have had other work done by this company and they did an outstanding job. Quality work, cleaned up work area and all of the electricians for the company are outstanding. Very happy and Thanks

They Charge you, just to see what you want to do, even if you don't choose them for the 3 bids you need to get. Thjey will not come out to give you an estimate of what they think it might cost, without first charging you. If you do go with their bid, they will add that towards your service cost. Otherwise you just pay for their estimate. There are lots of other contractors who are great, Who do not charge for an estimate. They are worth looking for. Did not use. Did not want to be nickle and dime before I even know if a project can be done.
Description of Work: They do not come to your house to give a bid, unless they CHARGE you. They do not give estimates over the phone because they would not be accurate. (true). There are so many Other contractors who will stop by to look at your project to give you an estimate without charging you, even if you decide to use them and put that charge towards your cost. And those other contractors are just as good, if not better. You dont need someone to nickle and dime you before you even start a job.

This house has some very old wiring including plugs that were probably installed back in the 1940's. First Jim came over and looked at all of the old plugs and worn out connections. Told us what should be done and what all of these changes would improve the current conditions. Gave us an estimate and set the appointments for the installations. The electrician scheduled to do the work (Ryan) called ahead and was here at the appointed time schedule. Began his work, explaining what he was going to be changing and the improvements that would be made. Both Jim and Ryan were very professional, clean and cleaned up before leaving. My wife and I are so happy with the outcome that we would highly recommend The Electric Company for all of your electrical needs. Very, very professional.

The service man arrived promptly on time. He had on cleaned and ironed company shirt and jeans, and put on shoe covers so he would not get anything on the carpets. I was his first call of the day and he not appear to have been working on anything that was dirty. He said it was just the policy of the company. The doorbell on my house died a couple of years ago and every handyman I have used told me that it could not be fixed, that they did not know why it would not work and the only suggestion was to get a battery operated one. Have been using a battery operated one and just wanted the real doorbell back and working. Since I had an electrician coming out thought he might have the answer. I had previously purchased a new doorbell unit just in caseit needed replaced. Everyone else had said that was not the problem. I now have a new doorbell and the answer was that the transformer on the original unit had died.
Description of Work: Repaired a doorbell that all the handymen said could not be done. Checked 4 fluorescent fixtures and replaced the bulbs. He took a look at a lighting problem that I ultimately want to change and gave me a rough estimate of the time involved to do it. When I get ready for this project, will definitely contact The Electric Company.

Description of Work: Craig Maloy came early Saturday morning and installed an outlet for a new refrigerator. He was extremely professional and then went out of his way to assure everything in my home was safe. I was so impressed that I requested that his company provide a bid for under the counter lights. I would definately hire this company again and I would recommend them to everyone that needs electrical services.

The professionals called to let us know they would be at our home within a few minutes. When they arrived they put on shoe covers to protect our floors. They proceeded to ask qualitfying questions and began the work. They were careful not to make a huge mess or break anything. They were very friendly and efficient. They offered us a savings special if we called for addtional work within a certain period of time. Overall. they did a great job. We had a similar great experience with a Mr. Electric in Fort Collins, CO before we moved, and their good job is the reason I gave this Mr. Electric a chance.
Description of Work: Ryan was one of the professional's names. Two men showed up for the work. We only had estimates given the first time out and then called later for an appointment to have a set of pendant lights installed above our kitchen peninsula. The men were punctual, friendly, and careful to cover their shoes and clean up any mess that was made during the installation. They gave us helpful information on lightbulbs as to which used the least energy and which to use for our new pendant lights. The men also installed a dimmer switch. All of the work was done skillfully and efficiently with total professionalism. We felt very comfortable with them in our home. We have other projects we need taken care of in the future and will call on them to take care of those when we have the funds.

Everything went fine from their arrival which was on schedule to the completion of the work. They used shoe covers/slippers for protection of our floors and cleaned up their mess (which wasn't much).
Description of Work: Not certain if the date is correct. The work was done in the Spring of 2011. We had three pendant lights installed above our island in the kitchen and a dimmer switch installed as well. Both men that ran the electrical and installed the lights did an excellent job of communicating and completing the work in a reasonable and professional time frame. I believe one of the mens name was Ryan and the other I can't recall, but they were both very thoughtful and professional. We will definitely hire them again in the future.
