Big Ant Electric Inc

Job was performed and met my expectations

One of two new motion detectors was defective and Mike replaced it.Nice job !

Excellent. Showed up timely as promised and completed the work.

It was very good. The service from the main office to the technician who came out was very thorough.

They are the best electrician on this planet. I wouldn't hire anybody else but them. They are not cheap but they are honest. The employees are loyal and I am loyal to the company.

They showed up. They were pretty good contractor. Everything was fine. They know their stuff. They kept their promises. When they said something they do it.

All companies should do business like Big Ant Electric. I made an appointment with them to replace a lighting fixture for 9AM. At 8:45, they called called to tell me that they were running a little late and that they would be there in about 45 minutes, which was fine with me. ( I can tell you how a company should NOT do business. You make an appointment with them and they never tell you what time they are coming. Then they show up unannounced at 8AM and walk onto your property without going to the front door and ringing the bell.) He came around 9:30 and did an excellent job. He replaced the old light bulb fixture with an LED one that was about twice as bright, in about 20 minutes. He also showed me how I could save a ton of money on my electric bill by changing the hi-hats in my kitchen to LED, and offered to do the conversion as soon as I bought the bulbs. I have had work done by them before, and they have always been great!

The have a phone number that leads to an answering service and all you can do is leave a message for a call back. I set up two appointments and each one has been canceled by the company at the last moment. This last time I called them to make sure they were still coming because they don't call you to verify appointments. I left a message with the answering service and then waited a few hours for a call back. They assured me that the service provider was on track to come do the work and then about an hour before the appointment they told me he wasn't going to make it the appointment.

These guys are great. They arrived when they said they would; their estimate was right on the money and the installation was neat as a pin. They didn't even leave a smudge on my newly painted wall. The electrician who did the installation was Jerry M. A great guy. We just renovated our house due to Hurricane Sandy damage. I wish that I had known about Big Ant BEFORE we did the rewiring. The electricians used by my first contractor were unmitigated slobs who probably overcharged us. In the future I will use Big Ant and I will, without hesitation, recommend them to friends.

They are absolutely phenomenal and I would recommend them to anyone.

Was perfect on all ends - moved my appointment up and made excellent communication on scheduling and working with a situation. Communication was perfect and in experience that is rare. --very happy would use again.

Jerry came the day I phoned, and took the time to explain everything to me. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking electrical work. I will be using them again in the upcoming year. Thank you, Angies's List!

They’re very professional. The same electrician, Jerry, comes out each time. Jerry is very knowledgeable, professional and offers cost-effective solutions which I appreciate. I have recommended their service to others; several neighbors have used them. I also used their services when I upgraded our electrical service from 100 amp service to 200 amp service.

They were great ! When I had to call back because the light fixture came loose (not their fault), they replaced the box at no extra charge.

The work was well done. They answered questions that I had and came back right away when we thought one of the lights wasn't working. The price was reasonable compared to other quotes we received. All of the staff was friendly and accommodating even when I had to change their return date several times when the drywall wasn't completed when I thought it would be.

We are very satisfied with him. We've used him like two or three times. Jerry is experienced. He shows up and he knows his work. In fact I have to call him back to finish up some work.

They did a great job as my electrical bill went way down after that. They were professional and I am very satisfied. I would highly recommend them.

There are 2 parts for this review. I will start with how I get to call Big Ant . Like in the movies about natural disasters, Sandy hit and we were not prepared. Just received the generator we ordered due to Irene by chance on Friday before the storm. We had the sub panel to be installed, so we can power the gas burner and some of the appliances in the house and identified the connections to be moved already. We had an appointment with another company to install it for that week. Bad timing, no one answered the phone and I started calling electrical companies from Angie's list. Most of them answered, however they were not able to give any appointments soon. Having a generator with wires laying in the house and no hot water for a shower is not a winning situation. Calling Big Ant (using Skype, cell phones/land lines didn't work) and just give my address - you cannot call me back, I do not have a Skype number ....- for someone to pass by the same day in the next 2 hours. I didn't expect much when I heard knocks at the door. Anthony was there and I liked his approach: "Time is money; where is the transfer panel?". My original estimate was around 4 hours of work to have it installed for 350 to 400$. Joking and moving like a pro to my surprise he finished it in half of time. The rate was very good, being in the third day after a hurricane when everything was down (we got the power back after 2 weeks...). The new panel worked great during those 2 weeks and everything is working seamless now with the power back. The second part was his holiday gift (during this 2 hours I mentioned that I wasn't fully prepared - I had only 2 gal gas can for a 6 gal generator and my next (impossible) mission after finding an electrician was to find bigger gas cans and gas. About gas I was right on the money; the crisis hit with powerless stations and later gas-less stations. After finishing everything and leaving, he returned, knock at the door and hand it over a 5 gal gas can saying "Holidays came early this year..". Thank you for the gift; it was extremely useful during the next week and a half and made a difference for our family! Nic

Work seemed to go ok, but the wiring seemed odd as there was no inside switch. Worker left tools at house. We called him. The next morning he came to pick up off our stoop as requested. He did not know we were home. He never thanked us for letting him know about the tools-but did throw the garbage from his breakfast onto the strip in front of our sidewalk. Subsequently, we had to hire a new electrician to redo the closet fixture which had sparked and burnt out within weeks (due to improper wiring). The new electrician found the rest of his work not to code as well, and altered it.

Whatever I need done, he does for me. He came about 4 months ago to do outside lighting, and I'm having him come back to do more work next week. He's honest, and has competitive pricing. I trust his work. If I'm not happy, I call and he comes back out himself to try to fix the issue. I would recommend him to anyone who needs electrical work done.

Company got back to me. Apparently their estimate had been lost in the mail. Jerry the job supervisor was a nice guy, however the price for wiring only (no cameras included) a surveillance system was verrrrry expensive. In fact, it was twice the cost I paid to a security camera specialist that included the equipment.

I'm amazed they even come out this far! It Lipa issue. They were wonderful people. They treated me like family.

They were very friendly when they were there working for me. They were very professional about the job. They had showed up on time and they called before they came here.

I was impressed with this company. They did exactly what they said they would do. They were very professional and clean. They pay attention to the details and take pride in their work.

HE WAS THE ONLY COMPANY THAT SHOWED UP FOR MY EMERGENCY. HE WAS HERE WITHIN AN HOUR. I HAVE A VERY OLD HOUSE WITH OLD WIRING AND HE DID A THOROUGH JOB ON IT. HE IS GOING TO REWIRE THE ENTIRE HOUSE IN A FEW MONTHS.
