Mike Williams Electric did a very quick & professional installation of an EV charger in my garage! Mike communicated clearly throughout the job, and gave me good advice on the choice of hardware. Once we agreed to the work, he got us scheduled us within a few days. He also took care of the $1000 rebate from GE, which kept things simple & cheap for me, and gave me a good deal. His team was quick, clean and courteous on the install. Thanks!

Mike Williams responded to my call very quickly. He identified the problem immediately left for a short period of time and came back with the parts needed to make the repair. My house hold was up and running within the hour. I strongly recommend Mike not only because of his work ethics his rate was very reasonable . Needless to say I have passed on his name and phone number to friends for future reference

Response from Mike Williams Electric
We don't do jobs of this sort anymore, generally, as I told the customer. This was set as a tentative appointment, as I offered to contact another electrician I know who actually lives in the neighborhood of the customer's duplex rental. I did so, and that electrician agreed to contact the customer and take care of the problem. I don't know what went wrong - - perhaps he didn't call, or perhaps his call was unanswered - - but we apologize for the trouble... and lesson learned.

I own many properties and have relationships with many suppliers and contractors. In all my years in the real estate business, Mike Williams tops the list in terms of being competent, thorough, respectful, concise, and fair in his electrical service offerings. I couldn't recommend Mike Williams Electric more highly.

Mike and his son was reasonable, up front about everything, dependable and very quick. Even when RG&E caused a delay he worked with us and made sure we knew exactly what was happening.

The work was done well and expeditiously. I will definitely use him again.
Description of Work: We've used Mike twice. Once to figure out why a few outlets stopped working and once to remedy a loss of power in the garage. He was very responsive and punctual in both cases and took care of the issues well. His prices are reasonable and he does know old houses and how they work (or don't!)

Mike and his sons were excellent from start to finish. They worked quickly and efficiently. Mike answered my calls very quickly and answered by name, which is a nice touch. Starting from the time of our in-home estimate I knew Mike would be our electrician, he's down to earth and takes to time to not only listen to what you have to say, but also explain in great detail how he's going to accomplish it. That said, one of his sons is an apprentice, so he worked on our our outlets, while his other son is a runner, and together they all work like well-oiled machine. Like I said before, quickly and efficiently. His quote was VERY fair for the amount of work they provided. I have no problems recommending Mike and his sons to ANYBODY who needs electrical work done. One of the huge selling points for us was his knowledge and experience of older homes, which is what we have (built in 1919). All that said, I know we just found our family electrician, and we'll be calling him up on some other projects we have planned in the future. Thank you, Mike!
Description of Work: - Replaced 2-prong to 3-prong outlets throughout the entire home - Added light switches to two rooms, while also installing a light fixture in one of those rooms - Installed an outside porch light - Put one of our outlets on its own breaker so we could run an A/C unit, if we wanted to

When a tree took out or service line and left our family of five without power, Mike was the first professional to respond. What took other contractors and organizations over a week to communicate (let alone show up), Mike and his boys provided a quote on Friday and finished the job Monday. RG&E arrived several days later, and was finally able to reconnect power to our home. Mike understood the impact that operating without Power has on a family, and he prioritized accordingly. We found him professional, prompt, and personable. The trust we have in Mike after his performance allows written recommendation without pause. I look forward to the next time I have the privilege to interact with Mike Williams Electric.

I would have to disagree with the reviewer that said Mike did not like challenges. We presented him with one and he came through with flying colors. We had a small dining area that needed a ceiling light fixture but access to that area via an attic or overhead crawl space was non existent which meant it had to be done through holes in the dining room wall and ceiling in order to run wires from the new fixture to existing electric in the wall. There were beams up in the ceiling that had to be worked around and he at first thought there might be as many as 4 holes needed which in turn would need patching and the holes on the ceiling would need to match a pattern. It took him a good part of the day but was able to accomplish the job with only 2 small holes. He also added two dimmer switches for us. He was careful and he cleaned up after himself leaving me with only a small amount of dust to wipe up. One of the pendant lights did not work out of the box but he took it apart and found the problem and fixed it. He also replaced a couple of outlets in another room. We were satisfied with his work and are planning on using him again in the future.
Description of Work: needed to add a ceiling light fixture to a room that previously had none. Also added two pendant lights over the kitchen counter.

Thanks so much for the detailed, positive comments! Your challenge was a hefty one, despite the fact that yours is a relatively new, modern home -- and we enjoyed solving this problem. The results turned out great, and I wish there was a way to post a picture here.

An enjoyable visit. Mike didn't mind explaining it to me as he figured out what happened and how to fix it. I can see how it would have been beyond the ability of the original contractor to make it all work. Mike is very competent and I trust his judgement completely.
Description of Work: It was the repair of a double-tapped breaker, where a previous contractor had connected an electric heater in an unsafe way. Mike had to create space in a full box and figure out a good way to properly wire the heater.

Only real complaints were that they arrived w/o the ladder needed for the job (although we had talked about that beforehand, and they installed an outlet in not EXACTLY the right location. I would recommend taking a picture and circling the install location to avoid things like that. All actual work was very neat and professional.
Description of Work: I needed several different small jobs (pool timer replacement, GFCI circuit breaker installed, and two other things).

We are glad that overall, everything was satisfactory. Our mistake about the ladder, which was necessary for the 18ft ceiling.. 2+ weeks had passed between making the appointment and the visit. We did not charge for the extra time it took to go get the right ladder. Regarding the location concern, it is sometimes the case that hidden factors restrict the options: studs in the wall, framing, obstacles of one kind or another. Sometimes the closest we can come is 6".
