They were very good! They came out and I told them what I wanted. They gave me some suggestions and then were very prompt in doing what we decided. He put in the outlets quickly, and when I had a couple of light fixtures that weren't working properly, he gave me a suggestion of things I probably needed to follow up on.
Description of Work: They put in a box for the landscape lighting, put a light in our house, fixed some light fixtures, put some outlets in our basement, and other things.

Was terrific ... scheduler was willing to place me top of list for early morning call, so I could expect someone first thing, then get to work. Technician was friendly and very professional. As he was packing up to leave, he asked about my exposed doorbell chimes, then adjusted them slightly to get a nice ring, instead of the clunky sound it was making.
Description of Work: Installation of two light fixtures in living room and dining room; removal of old fixtures.

I had just installed new motion sensor lights on my front porch to replace my old ones. Shortly after installation, one of the bulbs went out. I hired Coopers to check the electrical lines. I was even able to use a coupon that I got from the Angie's List website. The electrician showed up on time and explained everything. I would highly recommend this company.

Everything went well - they were able to come that afternoon, and the man who came was very professional.
Description of Work: I live in and own a multi-family home - one of the tenants kept having the circuit breaker break. I called and Cooper was able to send someone that afternoon. After checking the circuit breakers in the unit, which seemed fine, we checked the main one in the basement, which had a loose piece. Was very thorough in checking the problem.

I needed someone to come out that week to do an estimate on the work that needed done. We ultimately decided not to purchase the home, but had we done so, we would have used Cooper Electric. They were great at explaining everything in terms we could understand. They also let us know of the potential hazards that were involved with aluminum wiring. Apparently, aluminum wiring was very popular in the 70's as it conducted as well as copper and was loads cheaper. It expands and contracts however and has been the culprit of many house fires. Although current code does not allow aluminum wiring, it's presence in older homes has been grandfathered into the code. ($5,000.00)
Description of Work: We only got an estimate for a home we were considering purchasing, but they were extremely polite and knowledgeable and were willing to give us a free estimate. The home in consideration had aluminum wiring (known to cause fires if not properly maintained). The safest and least intrusive way to fix this problem is to 'Pigtail' copper wire onto the aluminum wire in every outlet/fixture in the home as well as have regular maintenance on your main electrical box from time to time. There is only one proper way to do 'Pigtailing' and these guys seem to be the experts in the area. Their prices seem to be right on par with what something like this should cost.

Two years ago the feed wire has loosened from the house but recently totally detached (no interruption to service). I searched Angie's List for contractors, and found Cooper who came out within 7 days of calling them to provide an estimate, driven primarily by my schedule and not their availability. When they came out to estimate, I also inquired about old wiring on my front porch, which I suspected was against code (they confirmed). During the estimation review, we went to the basement to look at the circuit breaker box, to look at the service. Jack indicated that it was a company that had previous issues and suggested that I research the company and consider replacing the box. Clearly, he didn't want me to think he was selling an upgrade. Turns out there was extensive information online about the issues, so I also contracted to have the box upgraded. I appreciated the candor and suggestion that I do some research to ensure I wasn't being sold to without cause.
Description of Work: Old cloth electric wiring was removed from an outdoor installation; the electric feed into the house was replaced, as the wire was 50+ years old, detached from the house and cracked (possibly allowing water to enter the box). Additionally, the box was upgraded and replaced.

He was prompt and knowledgeable - told us what he was going to do then did it. He cleaned up as he cut holes and installed - used a drop cloth to catch the dust. He did leave a small hole in the upper wall presumably from when he was fishing wiring to the ceiling. I did not notice the hole until after he left so I bought a patching kit at Target and fixed it myself. I didn't call Cooper to complain since he was already gone when I noticed it. If not for that one item my overall rating would be an "A." The day he installed the fan was when the temperature was 90+ and he didn't reschedule or complain about being in the attic.
Description of Work: Installed 2 ceiling fans - one in a vaulted ceiling. We purchased the fans - the installer cut holes for them, assembled the fans, ran the electric work and installed the fans. He crawled in the attic to install a bedroom fan. He found a way to install the fan in the vaulted ceiling that avoided cutting additional holes in the plaster. The final cost within $5 of the estimate. I called/interviewed 3 companies and checked Angie's List ratings before hiring Cooper.

Great! The team arrived right on time, were cordial and professional (and OK with very helpful large dog...). The work was well done and the products installed are all top notch (note that homeowner supplied the security light). The work areas were all cleaned up after work was completed and the work itself was completed as estimated.
Description of Work: The two man team from Cooper: Ran power from breaker box and installed 4 outdoor outlets; Ran power from breaker box and installed new motion detection security light; Debugged circuit problem causing breaker to constantly trip.

The individuals with whom I spoke on the phone were courteous and knowledgeable. They were also very frank about when they would have someone free to come out, as I called them at the start of the Labor Day weekend. Since we didn't have an emergency, we would have been able to wait until after the weekend for a service call. It just would have meant that, had we not been able to do the job ourselves, running the refrigerator on an extension cord for about 5 days.
Description of Work: I scheduled a time for the repair, putting a new circuit breaker in the electrical box, but since we are pretty handy folks, were able to do the repair ourselves so I canceled the service call.

Initially Dave had some problems with the wall, as we have an older home; howver, he was able to work around the obstacles our home threw in front of him. We have plaster walls, so there was the obvious chance the work could leave cracks and holes. Dave did a great job making sure there was no damage to the plaster, and cleaned up after himself very nicely.
Description of Work: Dave from Cooper Electric installed a 20 amp circuit to my living room.
