Description of Work: Because the job required our recessed lights in a cathedral ceiling to be retrofitted, the provider had to, not only custom order our fixtures, but had additional installation work. There were three electricians/technicians who worked for several hours and completed the job very satisfactorily. We would highly recommend this provider and will not hesitate to call them again as needed. On a side note, the owners and staff were very polite, considerate and fair with pricing.

The fan is working fine.
Description of Work: After the fan was installed and the electrician left, I noticed a wobble. The electrician returned promptly and fixed the problem with weights that came with the fan. He said he had never had to use weights before. I checked this Hunter fan model on the Internet. Some people had problems with a wobble and some didn't. The weights worked with some but not with others. Fortunately, it worked with mine.

Kevin and an assistant from Affordable Electric came to my house to examine the problem I had been having for years with my clothing dryer, which was overheating and shutting the dryer off. I had just had another electrician come "fix" the problem, but he actually made it worse. My dryer was still overheating. Kevin immediately noticed that the wiring leading to the dryer was 20 amp wiring, which was not sufficient to run a 30 amp dryer. The original breaker I had was a 20 amp breaker, but the previous electrician installed a 50 amp breaker. Kevin knew this created a fire hazard, as that could cause the wiring to overheat. What's worse is that the breaker that was installed was malfunctioning (it appeared to be an old breaker). The previous electrician insisted my dyer was malfunctioning even after I told him it was an ongoing problem that caused my THIRD dryer to burn out. Kevin was able to test the current dryer and confirmed it to be in working order. After Affordable Electric completed their work, I am now able to use my dryer. Thanks again, Affordable Electric!
Description of Work: My clothing dryer was overheating and tripping the breaker. I had gone through 3 dryers (2 of which had burnt out). Kevin and his assitant from Affordable Electric quickly diagnosed the problem as being insufficient wiring (20 amp) to the dryer. He replaced the wiring with 30 amp wiring and installed a 4 prong dryer wire and 4 prong dryer plug. He also replaced the breaker with an appropriate 30 amp breaker. After several years of electricians not being able to figure out why my dryers were overheating, the dryer now operates fine. Thank you, Affordable Electric!

Dave did an excellent job. He went above and beyond what was required by showing up in the evening to assess the work and then coming back the next day, based on my availability to do the repair. He was friendly yet professional and knowledgable about the work. He gave good recommendations on needed upgrades without coming off as a sales man. I'd definitely use him again and have already made a referral to a friend.

My experience was superb. David Gist, the owner, came to my house, emailed me his estimate, sent a team promptly to complete the job, sent an inspector to confirm the upgrade. The estimate was about a $100 less than another quote I got; the workers who came were polite, professional and focused. I received the certificate of inspection by email. I would absolutely hire Affordable Electric again.

He is absolutely great. We've used him before. He comes in and does what we need him to do. He is very, very reasonable. He is very clean. Dave is the guy and it is primarily him but he occasionally works with a helper. He is on time. They are very neat, tidy and clean. They pick up after themselves. They do extremely good work and we feel that they are very affordable. That is the name of his company and we agree with that. He is a young man that is locally educated and all; it's pretty cool. We’ve only been in this town for 2 years and we didn’t know an electrician so we pulled his name out of a hat and it’s worked out.
Description of Work: We used Affordable Electric because we had some issues with the electrical outlets in the kitchen because they were improperly grounded and he fixed them. He put new grounds in at the box.

He is a great electrician and he is amazing. The first job was really major and the other two were small. He has done a variety of services. He has done a wonderful job. I would use his services again without a doubt. I am sure that we will have him out within the next two months. We keep on having electric work done for our whole house. He is without a doubt the only guy we would use to get the work done.
Description of Work: I have used the services of Affordable Electric three times so far. Their last visit was probably three months ago. The electrician put in a very effective ground. He did some rewiring. He brought in new service into all the bedrooms, bathrooms, basement and living room. He repaired the service in the kitchen. He has wired a telephone line for us and also cable for cable TV and internet.
