Did a very good job. Was friendly and professional. A neighbor walked over while he was at the house and asked if he could stop over and look at a problem they were having. He agreed and took the time to repair their work as well. Would definitely use him again!
Description of Work: Repaired several light switches and electrical outlet from slip shoddy builder's work that that has gone bad.

Discussed 3 items to be repaired and hourly rate via telephone. Arrived as scheduled. He provided detailed explanation of issues and traveled to a local store for parts including a new fluorescent light fixture installed in garage. Correctly concluded basement fixture only needed a fluorescent tube light bulb and not a ballast. Rewired and replaced GFI socket and socket cover under deck to correct problem with deck lights working intermittently. All areas were left clean after work was performed.

Contractor came to house to provide estimate ($128 fee). I tried calling for follow up to get complete estimate (was not left at time of inspection). I had to leave a message, as no-one answered. No-one ever responded to my call. I subsequently used a different company to perform work.

Response from Berea Electric
The following is Berea Electric's response to the bad report from an Angie's List member of Scottsdale, Arizona. This Angie's List member appears to live over 1,700 miles away from Berea Electric's service area. Berea Electric did not work for her, received no payment from her, and had no conversations regarding any work done or any additional work recommended. I am going to assume her negative report is referencing work Berea Electric did for a member in a different household, seven [7] states away. The member requested an evaluation of some existing wiring, lighting and electrical installations in her home. She lives alone. I explained to the member that an evaluation of this nature involves considerable time and does not fall within the scope of a "FREE" estimate. I explained the hourly rate, and service charge fee, after which she decided to hire Berea Electric to do the evaluation, agreeing to pay for the service call [$128]. After several conversations, the member and I were able to arrange a time for the service call, that was convenient for her. [May 19, 2011]. After examining some of the wiring, lighting, and branch circuit installations that were visible in the basement and attic, I found numerous areas of concern, noted some of the major ones on the invoice, and explained them carefully to the member. Some of the electrical installations I examined appeared to have been done after the home was built, by an inexperienced workman, who was apparently unfamiliar with the National Electric Code. I informed the member that, as some of the non-code installations were not completely visible, and numerous areas needed to be addressed, Berea Electric could not quote her a firm price for additional work. She was told that any additional work would have to be done at TIME AND MATERIAL [ T&M ]. She was clearly informed, and understood that Berea Electric's rates are $88 per hour, plus a $40 service charge, equaling $128 total for the first hour, then $88 per additional hour, plus materials. I agreed to waive the subsequent $40 service charge if she has the additional work done by Berea Electric, however she is free to chose any electrical contractor she desires. In conclusion; Berea Electric did the requested work [ evaluation ] at the agreed upon price [ $128 ]. Berea Electric is committed to top quality service, as our Angie's list rating and reports show. We work with all our customers to insure their satisfaction, regardless of whether they are Angie's List members or not. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. Please feel free to contact me further as necessary. Tom Wozencraft/President - Berea Electric Inc. 440-243-4241

I chose this company based off of their location, the high ratings on Angie's List, and the fact that they specialized in work with ceiling fans. I was very happy with his work. He is very nice, and not at all pushy. The price was very reasonable, and I did receive a discount from him which I greatly appreciated.
Description of Work: He repaired a flickering light, and he was able to diagnose that the switch was bad. He also repaired a ceiling fan.

Great. I hope to have him install a ceiling fan in the living room in the future.

He checked to made sure all were were working properly. While he was here he checked a malfunctions kitchen overhead light. The one bulb was bad and he replaced it. As usual, Tom did a great job. He is reliable and efficient.

He was very honest. As soon as I called him I was very comfortable with him. He even called to let me know he was running just a little behind, which I wouldn't have even noticed. I would definitely call him again if there is ever another issue. He is top shelf.
Description of Work: I had some wiring situations I was uneasy with. He checked 3 or 4 outlets and assured me there would be no need to replace anything.

See above. My power kept going out, and with it, my furnace, during the coldest time of the year, and Tom did everything he could to make sure I wasn't stuck without power and heat all night, to the point of being on call way past the time most people would stop helping customers. If he hadn't intervened so successfully with the utility company to make sure they came back out to my house a second time and made the repair they should have made the first time, I'd be sitting here right now heading into an ice storm without functional electricity and heat in my home. I am incredibly grateful to have had him go way beyond the extra mile to make sure I wasn't stranded without heat and electricity in the middle of a cold winter night. It was a great experience to encounter a contractor with such integrity and genuine care for a new customer in need of help (without charging me an arm and a leg), and I can't recommend him highly enough.
Description of Work: When I contacted Tom at Berea Electric about problems with my power going out, the first thing he did was try to save me the expense of him coming out by telling me exactly what I should tell my utility company to come out and test my outside connections for. When the utility company came out but still failed to pinpoint the problem, he then came out to my house himself and examined the internal and external wiring to the best of his ability, and again came to the conclusion the problem was outside the house. The next time the power went out, he intervened directly on my behalf, called the utility company and conveyed to them exactly what the problem was and what they should do, and stayed on the utility company's case until they came to my house, fixed the transformer, and restored my power. He was on call for me nonstop all day and late into the night during my power outage crisis, making sure everything was going right with the utility company all the way up until the point power was restored by them at midnight.

Everything from beginning to end went very well. I called to schedule a service call and he gave me a ballpark estimate over the phone. He showed up on time and the bill was less than expected. I was very happy with his professionalism and punctuality.

Tom did a great job, I originally had him out for a plumbing job but he was honest and said that the type of job I wanted him to do is something he typically doesn't do, but my wife and I wanted an outlet on the outside and Tom did it in two days of coming out and giving the estimate. He did a great job, was on time, and cleaned up after himself. Hope to do business with him in the future.
Description of Work: Installed outlet on the outside of the home in our backyard.

Last night, my wife and I turned on a lamp and the power in three rooms went out. Flipping the breaker switch didn't work, so I left it off and logged into Angie's List. This morning, based on the great reviews here, I called Tom and asked him to check out my breaker box. Within two hours, he was onsite. He inspected each of the outlets on the circuit, as well as the breaker box and determined that one of the outlets had shorted out. After replacing the outlet, he went back around and checked each suspect outlet, and verified that the power was running through that breaker as it should be. As everybody else is saying, Tom was very friendly and didn't mind explaining everything he was doing and what his theories were. I was particularly pleased to notice that he had set out a piece of cardboard under his van, to catch something that was slowly dripping. That demonstrated a consideration that I don't see very often, these days, and it made me like him all the more. His price is a little bit high, but I consider it an investment in a relationship that I anticipate building for years to come.
Description of Work: Replaced an outlet, tested and tightened three additional outlets, tested and tightened the breaker panel.

I need some breaker work done on the weekend, after a fuse started to smoke. Tom explained his emerency fees, and regular weekly rates. My choice, but I wanted it fixed quickly. He complied, and pointed out the damaged area. Less honest, would have tried to replace the whole box, as I wouldn't have known the difference.I was happy I could get someone on a Saturday, and get it fixed within several hours.

Tom did a great job and worked wonderfully around our needs and schedule. He had a sense of what we would like to see done first. He hung the chandilier in the kitchen, then fixed up my bathroom so I could see well. In the basement he worked around a painter and made sure outlets were installed in time for our moving day so we could plug in our TV.

I called Tom, the owner of Berea Electric, and spoke with him about our jobs. Tom indicated he would get back to me about scheduling. Tom called a few days later and indicated he could come out the next day to work. He arrived at the appointed time. He quickly addressed the issues that cold be executed and consulted with me on the others (see above).
Description of Work: Replaced and updated to the panel one wall outlet used for an air conditioner. He properly repaired a wall switch. I consulted with him on other jobs and he indicated that some were doable (running lights to the outside, creating a new wall socket) and others not (doorbell). Ultimately, those that were doable were cost prohibitive. We opted to pass on those projects.

I can't say enough how much I appreciated the service I received from Berea Electric. My water heater died over Memorial Day weekend and we had a plumbing company out to fix it in the afternoon after the holiday. They told us the problem was electrical and there was nothing they could do. I called Berea Electric at 3:30 in the afternoon, explained the problem, and they came out immediately and got everything working the same day! Tom stayed late and did a great job. It was "above and beyond" anything I would have expected. Wonderful company and very affordable as well.
Description of Work: Re-wired my water heater. The original wiring was not ideal so Tom replaced all the wiring, including adding a new junction box, conduit and wiring the water heater.

Tom was extremely professional and cordial. He was always willing to answer my questions, no matter how mundane. Tom's price was exactly what he had quoted, and the work was done on-time. Tom cleaned-up after himself, explained what he was doing and why, and was generally good-natured and knowledgeable. Yes, Tom is expensive, but he honestly understands the job at hand, and with something as important as electrical work, I would rather pay the premium for good work than have something go catastrophically wrong. I have lots of DIY experience, and I was very impressed with the methodical nature with which Tom went about his job. He treated my house as his own, and for that, I am grateful. Overall, I am pleased with my choice in Tom.
Description of Work: Tom upgraded the electrical service on our house. This job included replacement of the Federal Pacific Panel with a new, bigger panel; wiring corrections to the Knob & Tube near the panel; bonding of the water meter, water heater, and installation of a ground rod; replacement of the meter box and corresponding conduit; and a lot of explanation for his curious customer!

The wiring from the pole to the outlet was already done so he did not have to do that. I had to have him come back out to fix the switch because it shorted out. When I called him the first time to the work he could not come because it was snowing and he was not able to make it. Then when I called him back he told me I would have to wait longer. He finally did come out and do the work at the end of the week.
Description of Work: They put in a outside pole lamp for me. I bought the supplies all he did was install it.
