2 electricians installed 3 ceiling fans in our home. Took about 3 hours total. They were much less expensive than other estimates. They knew I was concerned about the weight of the fans in the existing ceiling boxes and took the time to show me how the boxes were fastened to the wood beams in the ceilings and answered all my questions. Everything went smoothly, fans are working without problems, no wobbling. They even took the time to check some faulty outlets in the house with no charge.
Description of Work: Installed 3 ceiling fans.

Wade Electric came out a few years ago and replaced our electrical box and also gave us a hookup for our generator as well as some other electrical work. Bob Wade came himself to do the estimate and he had another person came with him to do the work. The company is professional, punctual, and goes above and beyond to make sure things are done accurately and efficiently. We recently needed more work done and called on Bob and the Wade Electric team. Again this experience has gone above and beyond our expectations. Bob came out with another employee of Wade and they are doing a superior job. I have told others about Wade Electric and the positive experiences we have had. The prices are more than fair and I like the fact I am dealing with a trustworthy, honest, family owned and operated business. I know we will continue to call on Bob and his team whenever we need electrical work done. Our home was built in 1924 and I don't know of any other electrical company that could do the job Bob and his tram have done for us.
Description of Work: Separated circuits in circuit box, added an outside socket, replaced light fixture, add switch to control lights, replaced light in the kitchen, added lighting to shed.

They came to give us an estimate within 1 day of us calling and the work was done the following week. They exceeded our expectations with the quality of merchandise and service provided. The owner was there doing the work himself which I loved. It is rare to find a company where you have the person who gives the estimate doing the work.
Description of Work: The owner came and gave us an estimate on a new electrical box as well as a separate box to control the Generator Hook up as well as 3 outside sockets and fixed electrical to out detached garage.

Description of Work: Troubleshoot and repair several different small electrical problems that I had let accumulate over time. Install two new outside outlets (for plugging in Christmas lights). Installing the outside outlets involved drilling through some bricks that were installed between studs (we live in a circa 1917 house). Bob had all the tools and parts that he needed without having to go back to the shop. As I recall, it took about 6 to 7 hours to complete my work list - which was a small fraction of the time it would have taken me! This was the 2nd time Bob has done work for us and I will definitely hire his services again. Very pleasant to work with, diligent and professional.

They were good. They put sump pump in. They were prompt, on time, did the job, and get out. Their price is reasonable. They didn't finish the job when I was there because of the water level in the place and they came back on a later date.

It went very smoothly and they answered all my questions. They even came back to install the light fixture because it had not arrived when they came to do the work. Totally professional.
Description of Work: They provided great service! We had them run 3 direct lines into the box. We could not turn on the air conditioner and microwave without tripping a circuit breaker. They also ran wires so that we could have a light fixture installed over our kitchen island. And they repaired our outdoor sensor light. The wire was so frayed it was dangerous. They patched up where the old wire came out and put a very nice clean new one in its place. They did not try to sell me something we that did not need like the other 2 companies that I got quotes from. I would definitely use them again.

I have two bedrooms and a bathroom on my second floor that were all on one circuit. During the summer, we can not run two window air conditioners (one for each bedroom) without tripping the circuit breaker. Bob Wade and one other associate came, spent 5 hours installing two new circuits and outlets (one new circuit/outlet in each bedroom). It took longer than expected as they could not run the wires up through the house from my basement, though they tried multiple places. They ended up eventually running the wire outside my house into the attic. They kept me informed the whole time and asked my preferences about where the circuits and outlets be installed. Bob even brought up that he wanted to add an extension to the additional outlet in one of my bedrooms because he said AC wires usually come out the right side (I told him the new circuits were mainly to support the Air Conditioners) and he thought it would be better if the cord from the AC to the outlet didn't have to go all the way to the wall on the left side (the only place they were able to get a wire in that bedroom).Apparently my house is more difficult than most to run wires through, but Bob and his associate took there time to figure out the best way and did an excellent job. Overall, I think I got a great value. I will absolutely use them again if I ever need electric work done again.
Description of Work: Added two additional circuits and outlets to my second floor
