I called twice from two different phones, and never got a call back to either number. Even if he was on vacation, there should have been a message saying so. It's now a week later and no call back. Needless to say I hired someone else. Very unprofessional IMHO
Description of Work: I had electricity in only half the house, so needed someone to come and find out what was wrong and fix it.

Neat, organized, concerned, professional, and all in all nice guys to have in your home. If ever we have any other electrical issues these guys are going to be the only people we call. They even spent the extra time tpo identify all th enew circuits and labeled them for the breaker box. GREAT service!
Description of Work: Solved safety issues with existing service and upgraded to current code. Communicated with RG&E on work performed and was extremely communicative and responsive. Said what they were going to do and did it promply. Answered the phone and if could not speak right at that moment said they would call back and did. I nice change from any other contractor I have spoken to.

Prompt, polite and explained everything to us. My husband had just come home from the hospital and was unable to check things himself, therefore we were happy that and quot;Electric Sam'sand quot; responded so quickly. I would recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: We came home on a Sat. Am and only half the lights in the kitchen would not light. I called and it was about noon and Phil said he could be there by 2. I was thrilled. He was at the house before two. Came in, traced the wiring and found a wire in the switch for light over our sink was causing the problem. He put a new wire on and a nut to stop the wire from rubbing and we had lights. Considering that it was a Sat. I was not upset over spending$100.00.

Very fast appointments for quote and service. Compared to several other electrical contractors we called his timing and punctuality were impressive. We are still waiting on follow up from some of the others. He did a fast but thorough job.
Description of Work: Changed out gas washer/dryer connections to electric.

Work was to be completed after an inspection for problems with a relay system in January. Parts needed to be ordered for completion of the job. I arranged for someone to sit in my home to have the job completed; Phil never called or showed up. A call was placed to Sam to inquire about Phil's absence. I was told by Sam that Phil would contact me to have the job completed. Apparently he was stricken with strep throat on his way to my home. Phil never called or showed. In mid July I received an email from Sam asking if I wanted the job completed. I expressed my dissatisfaction with the lack of communication. Sam apologized and said that he would contact me next week~that was July 13th. I worked with Sam in the past (spending $1200 for relay issues) and I appreciated his service with my difficult system. No I am forced to look elsewhere.
Description of Work: Relay system failure and replacement.

Phillip arrived at our home and I showed him how our light was not working with the fan. I had already talked with Sam (Father) who told me that I probably needed to have something in the motor replaced. I ordered the part for the fan and contacted Sam again who then sent his son, Phillip out to analyze and installed the component motherboard in the motor of our Casablanca ceiling fan. Phillip was quick, efficient, polite and knew exactly what needed to be done. He worked diligently, efficiently and confirmed that everything was working properly before he left our home. Very nice young man.
Description of Work: The Electrical technician (Phillip) arrived promply and analyzed quickly what needed to be done. Phillip removed our Patio ceiling fan and replaced the motherboard in the fan motor. He worked quickly removing the screws and wires efficiently. I definitely give Electric Sam grade A-rating and will be contacting them again for other electrical problems we need to have done. Phillip is a Highly, Professional, Electrician. We appreciated the excellent service.

The job went very well and was done within the time frame for the estimated amount of money. It was properly done and the technician left the place in good condition. The price was fair and I will use them again in the future.

He came promptly and got the job done efficiently. I was completely satisfied.
Description of Work: A puzzling short in a lighting circuit was causing a circuit breaker to blow. This was in an old 3 story house with one circuit handling some overhead lights and a few outlets on all 3 floors. He systematically tracked it to a defective ballast in a fluorescent light fixture.

It was a very good experience. The quality was excellent and the prices were fair. I had to wait a long time for them to come out because they are very busy, like a couple of weeks. Other than that it was great. They don't rip me off and they are very fair.
Description of Work: They have done 2 different things. They wired a patio and a garage for me and upgraded my electrical service.

All aspects of the work went smoothly and all work was done in a professional manner (the electrical inspector commented on the high quality of Electric Sam's work). Sam and Phil even made two separate visits before the main work was done in order to take care of some outside hookup issues that had to be coordinated with the installation of new siding. Sam was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the work and even made recommendations about hooking up more than one outside light fixture on the same switch panel.
Description of Work: Sam and Phil installed a new 200 Amp electric service in my home. In addition they installed additional outlets in basement, a 220 Volt dryer outlet in basement, a new riser on the outside of the house, wired new lighting outlets and electrical outlets in garage, and installed two new outdoor garage fixtures.

Showed up 10 min early. Promptly checked and resolved problems. Although house isn't tidiest around, electric Sam didn't think "guess it doesn't matter", but cleaned up work areas. Helped reconnect garage door to opener, which had been used manually after circuit kicked off. major snowstorm and my dental appointment necessitated adjustments in appointment time. communication was excellent and adjustments in time worked for all. alternatives for each change was discussed and agreed upon. work completed promptly.
Description of Work: Job 1:Replaced breaker in circuit box; fixed doorbell. Job2: replace 2 external fixtures on garage, one fixture in upper bathroom, repaired living room fixture.
