Very well. 2 electricians from Mr. Electric showed up on the scheduled day and time. Put drop cloths down to catch the dust/drywall/insulation. Went very quickly. Excellent job, would highly recommend. Also, gave us some information on other electrical issues to keep an eye on.
Description of Work: 3 ceiling fans installed in upstairs bedrooms. No pre-existing lighting/wiring on ceiling.

The office was so nice. They were understanding that I worked 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and had difficulty being off work. They worked with me and were there at 8 a.m. to help. He was very nice, talked me through what he was doing. I was a bit surprised by the cost for just swapping out a socket, but certainly not something I would have found on my own.
Description of Work: I called with half my basement being without power for no obvious reason. He came in and check each socket and wiring. A socket went bad. He put in a new one and re-connected all the wiring and put all sockets back in.

Good job. Punctual and very professional. A little expensive for the work, but we didn't have a ladder to reach. We are having this company give us an estimate for an attic fan because of the service we received this time.

The work was completed very well and the electricians were professional and advised of the costs at each step of the way. The reason why this was very costly is that the new circuit for the office was located on the second floor. They had to pull a new circuit from the panel which was located in the garage. Overall, I was extremely pleased with the outcome and will definitely use them again. I appreciate that they charge by the job and not the hour. As this job did take a very long time to complete.
Description of Work: I had Mr. Electric install two Ceiling Fan boxes and also pull a new circuit to an upstairs office.

As for the work, I have no problem. My dissatisfaction would be that he was 45 min. late. I had not received a call, he did say he tried. I called them again and they said he was in route. He had to leave to get more wire because he didn't have enough. If you were going out on a job you should have your materials. The bill was not itemized, so I don't know if I was charged for that 45 min. which was not my fault.
Description of Work: They ran some new wire for an electric range and a dishwasher.

Response from Mr. Electric of Columbus
I WAS PLEASED TO SEE THAT THIS MEMBER WAS SATISFIED WITH QUALITY, RESPONSIVENESS, AND PROFESSIONALISM. I WAS DISAPPOINTED TO SEE THAT THE ELECTRICIAN WAS 45 MINUTES LATE, THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN DISCUSSED WITH THE ELECTRICIAN. IN REGARDS TO THE RATING OF PRICE AND THE MATERIAL RUN: HE HAD DISCUSSED THE PRICE OF THE RANGE BEING $200-$300 AND THE DISHWASHER CIRCUIT WOULD BE AN EXTRA CHARGE. WE DO CHARGE BY THE JOB, NOT BY THE HOUR SO NO, HE WAS NOT CHARGED FOR THE TECH BEING LATE. IN REGARDS TO THE TECH LEAVING FOR EXTRA WIRE, THIS JOB WAS ESTIMATED OVER THE PHONE SO WE WERE UNABLE TO SEE HOW LONG THE WIRE RUN WOULD BE. THIS IS A CHANCE THAT IS TAKEN WHEN A CUSTOMER WANTS A BALL PARK PRICE OVER THE PHONE.

When I called the company, I spoke with the contact person Annette. She was extremely friendly and professional. She was able to tell me what to do and when to expect the workers. The electrician that came to the house was excellent. It was one of our worst winter days, and he still got the outside job done, never once complaining. He was very knowledgable and friendly and even gave me a discount. I was extremely pleased with the job.
Description of Work: Changed the outside security lights, and ran diagnostics on two faulty electrical appliances in the house.

Scheduled time was 9 - 9:30. Mike arrived close to 10. He very polite. He gave me a quote for the work. It was more than I was willing to pay so I asked him not to install the wall lamps and he gave me a revised quote. He performed all the work as requested and had some time left so he offered to do the wall lamps for no extra charge. Most of the work was indoors with the exception of replacing the two sets of exterior lights with motion detectors (it was about 20 degrees outside).
Description of Work: Replaced 3 wall sconces, 1 programmable thermostat, and two outside motion detector lights. Also installed 2 wall mounted reading lights in the bedroom.

I was satisfied with the overall installation. The company was professional and responsive. I contacted them through their web site and received a call from their customer service rep. the next day. An est. was scheduled for the following week and had the actual est the next week. Jeff was on time on the day of the install. It turned into a much harder install than he expected. He was not able to complete the job in the original time est. Jeff came back the following evening to finish. He worked with me to connect all of my designated circuits. We fired up the generator and everything worked properly. He did not have the proper 60 amp breaker, so he installed a temporary 50 amp. I was not running anything 240V, so the 50 amp was working fine. It slipped his mind and I ended up reminding the company a few weeks later that I still needed the 60 amp breaker. I had the new breaker installed the next day. The technician knew his stuff and was nice to work with. Thank You.
Description of Work: Jeff installed my GenTran transfer switch for a portable generator into my main electrical panel. He installed the power inlet box on the other side of the wall and ran the wires through the wall to the panel. He removed eight circuits from the main panel and hooked them into the transfer switch. He installed a 60 amp breaker into the main panel for the transfer switch. He put together a forty five feet of cable to hook up the generator with the correct connectors.

Very prompt. Very good work. Very friendly. They are very customer-service oriented. There was a miscommunication about an emergency fee (There was no emergency, but we were charged one because the answering service said it was an emergency). It was resolved with a generous credit toward future work.

After reading reviews on Angie's List I was impressed with Mr. Electric. I was especially impressed that they would come out and give free estimates. I wanted to be sure that the symptoms we were having with our light switches were not a fire hazard. The electrician flipped the switches a few times and told me it seemed a couple of them were wearing out. He removed one switchplate to find the switch cracked. He told me that two of them should be replaced. Relieved that there was no fire hazard or major problem with the wiring, I thought this was a repair we could do ourselves. Unfortunately, he said there was a $129 diagnostic fee. Apparently, once he puts on his tool belt and loosens a screw he has done work. I would have gladly paid a lesser amount for his visit,expertise and for the security in knowing we weren't dealing with a fire hazard, but I felt the price was much too high for replacing two light switches. He left to get the switches and returned to install them.
Description of Work: The electrician replaced one 3-way light switch and one 4-way light switch.

The quote was for GFI receptacles and regular panel breakers. I told him that I wanted GFI breakers not GFI receptacles. He said that it would cost more and he did not have the GFI Breakers with him or the 20 amp receptacles. So he put in 15 amp ones & would be back to swap them. I would get rescheduled. After two weeks I called them. They came out the next week. I complained that the second receptical he installed is only about 5 inches off the deck. With any decent snow fall it would cover the receptacle. He agreed but said they would have had to do the job by going inside the wall or running conduit. I got $13 for each GFI received, but rec'd no credit for the breakers on the 1st bill. I supplied the 20 amp outlets and he installed them for $113.32 He said the breakers were $65.00 each, but the bill for installation was $280.86. Keep in mind that I also got member rate. So the return visit was another $332.18. It was like dealing with two different companies. Total Job over $800.
Description of Work: Had two outlets put in on outside wall and an overhead light in a crawl space. I had a job done previously that was done some way professionally and without a problem. They did run a line of 12 ga 3 plus ground, and said they were only going to use two of the wire because they did not have two wire on the truck. As it turns out I needed the three wire. They also ran 12 ga. to power two bathroom fans that only use combined a total of 60 watts. I had a full service panel replaced and two lines run into the upstairs attic. I found the price to be reasonable and the work was about what I expected. On this present job I was quoted $450.00. One guy started the job then another guy came a finished it.

When we moved into this home the dishwasher and garbage disposal wiring was all screwy. The dishwasher was on a switch and the disposal was on an extention cord under the sink. He rerouted the wiring and now it is correct. This house passed inspection with a home inspector but it was a weird set up and now it is the way it should be.

I brought in this company to replace the old wiring in the attic and intall new outlets and lights. Unfortunately (or fortunatley) for me, they also found some illegal wiring done by the previous owner and had to be replaced as well. Their teams worked for three days to complete the work in the old house. They busted their "expletive" the entire time and kept me informed on every step of the progress. They found serious problems the home inspector didn't find. I also had my own expert in the house while they were there (my father who is very knowledgeable on the matter)so I know what they did was truly needed and completed properly. Tim Hursey was the service tech who lead the numerous electricians in the house over the three days. I couldn't ask for a better technician. They encountered numerous obsticles in the old house and always found a way to make it work and proper. They are professional, curteous and timely and bent over backwards to meet my needs. Highly recommended.
Description of Work: Had old wiring removed and replaced throughout the house built in the 1920's. Installed new light fixutres and cut into walls to install new electrical outlets in kitchen. Had to feed new lines to the basement and rewire illegal wiring by previous owner.

When I called to schedule for an estimate, they were able to book me pretty quickly. Mike, the tech who came out, and was very professional and polite. He arrived on time, and took time to explain a number of things to me and answer all my questions. As I said, the cost for these jobs seemed somewhat high- for example, $166 for installing my own ceiling fan, NOT including the finishing work (drywall, sanding, etc). I've decided to get a few other estimates and see if I can afford to get this work done in the near future.
Description of Work: Mike came out to give me an estimate on some things I needed done- installing a ceiling fan I'd already purchased, adding 3 dedicated 20 amp circuit breakers, adding a 30 amp dedicated circuit, installing a range hood I'd purchased, and replacing 3 old fashioned phone jacks with new ones. The total estimate came to $1425 ($1215 if you get a Mr. Electric membership that costs $89.99). This was higher than I expected so I can't really go ahead with the work right now.
