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.

I went ahead and signed the paperwork and they scheduled someone to come out to do the job. I let him in that morning. I hadn't heard from anyone all day at work, but I expected the work to be completed when I got home. Instead, no work had been completed and no communication had been made. I called the company to see just what they did in my house that day but nobody was there at that time. I received a call back a while later that someone was going to look in to it. The next day I got a call back that there was some form of a communication problem between the person doing the work and the person who was managing my project so thats why no communication was made. They said they had not correctly estimated my job and that it would require more people to get it done and they would have to reschedule it. I never heard from them again for multiple weeks for the reschedule and decided to move on to a new electrical company after this bad experience.
Description of Work: I had Cooper give an estimate on bringing some of my electrical in to compliance for a single family (converted from a double family) as well as combining the electrical systems in to a single box.

It went great! It took the electrician a while to find the problem. He took apart every light on the deck before he discovered the ants nest.
Description of Work: The lights on our deck didn't work. The electrician found an ants nest under one of the lights which was causing the lights to go out as soon as we switched them on. We need to have a few lights replaced and he was suppose to call us with an estimate. He hasn't called yet, that was 10 days ago. I will need to follow up. We were very pleased with the work done and the time he took to check out the system.

The company was prompt with returning phone calls and giving an estimate on the work we needed done immediately. The work was completed quickly and efficiently - allowing us to move into a 150 year old house without worrying about faulty wiring and overloaded circuits. My mother (who was home alone with the electricians and cleaning the hardwood floors) got a big wood sliver in her finger. She was near fainting from the pain and called out for help. One of the electricians helped her sit down and used his pliers to pull the sliver out of her finger, both were shocked that the sliver was nearly an inch long and almost pierced her finger completely through. She was very impressed with the compassion of the young man. The finger healed well with no infection!
Description of Work: Added electrical sub-panel and relocated circuits to remove three double tapped circuits. Replaced some worn knob and tube wiring.

They were there on time, got the old fan down and then discovered that there was not a long stem in the box even though the box led one to believe that it was there so they had to wait while we went to get a longer stem. The installation box in the ceiling was fan rated but installed in a somewhat irregular way which required substantial effort to get the new fan in place. There was no damage to any surfaces although it was complicated to get to the fan and complete the installation. Thank you Cooper Electric.
Description of Work: We needed installation of a new ceiling fan in the 2 story entry way to our house. It required a ladder and scaffolding to bridge to the fan since the stairway prevented a regular tall ladder from being used. The workman had to kneel on the scaffolding (because he was very tall) to take down the old fan that had been up for 20 years.

Great, mike was on time and had all the equipment to complete the job in his truck. I showed him where I wanted it and he said ok and next thing you know he was done in less time than he originally said! Did great work and I did not get electrocuted in the process if I was to have done it myself!

Customer service was helpful and friendly. Jack Cummings came to our home within a couple of days to give us an estimate for various electrical jobs we had in mind. Since we live in a house that is over 100 years old, we faced a couple of challenges. Jack was upfront and clear about all the details of the work proposed. He listened to our concerns about holes in the walls, dust and keeping the integrity of our older home. We received an estimate within a couple of days and we felt it was very fair. Mike came to our home after scheduling a time to do the work. After going over the estimate and showing Mike where the work was to be done, he got right to work. He was very polite and understood our concerns expressed to Jack about keeping the integrity of our older home. All the work on the estimate was finished in a couple of hours. The overall job was clean and neat with minimal wall and ceiling repair. This is the second time we've used Cooper Electric. Excellent Company!
Description of Work: Installed new light fixtures in our hall, kitchen and front porch. Installed an exhaust fan in a bathroom and added an outlet and timer.

It took several hours because the bathroom has a slanted roof and it was VERY difficult for him to thread the wiring through for the lights. He ran into 2 blocked places. I know it was very frustrating tedious work, but he persevered and finally got the job done. He was courteous and professional.

Cooper did a great job all around. They responded quickly to our call and came within a day to do the repairs. The person I initially spoke with, unfortunately his name escapes me, was courteous and helpful. As well the person who did the work, Dave, was professional and did his work quickly. We will definitely call Cooper again for other electrical needs.
Description of Work: The work was done following a home inspection connected with the sale of our home. They installed a breaker to correct a double tap in the fuse box. They also installed a GFI outlet in one bathroom.

It went great. Steve from Cooper Electric arrived on time and was polite and professional throughout. He worked continuously until the jobs were completed. The finished work was excellent. He was very creative in figuring out the best way to install the clock receptacle and on/off switch without having to damage the walls or trim. He even fixed a loose doorknob for us when he noticed it while going in and out of the house on the job (no charge).
Description of Work: A) Removed 3 old, broken low voltage/high output hanging lamps and installed 3 new replacement low voltage/high output hanging lamps over a rec room bar. B) Wired and installed a "clock receptacle" outlet, installed an on/off wall switch to work the outlet, rewired a picture light, attached the picture light to a picture frame, hung and plugged in the picture.

Tony was very patient with us, since we'd given a small list over the phone, but needed to add a couple more tasks when he arrived. He repaired a doorbell, light switch, and replaced 2 outlets near kitchen sink with safer ones. Also replaced floodlight fixture on corner of house that no longer worked. He did a very professional job - the only tiny complaint I have was he left shattered floodlight loose in our trash can. Other than that, we were very satisfied.

The company was able to accommodate my request for an appt. on very short notice. David McGrath was the service person and was very courteous and professional. Work was done promptly and price was exactly as stated over the phone. We were also able to get 10% off because we were Angie's List members. Very happy to have our lights working again.
Description of Work: We had two lights that were not working. One required a new dimmer switch and the other had an internal loose connections.

Jeff telephoned me promptly in my email request for repair work. The electrician, Steve, arrived 5 minutes early, clean and neat, vehicle clean and in good repair. Steve listened patiently to me in what I had done to create my outage problem, asked a few quick questions diagnostic related. By 7:45 a.m., Steve found the problem of a neutral wire open in a plug "upstream" of where I had replaced a plug. Steve also installed a phone jack to existing wiring, as I was paranoid of doing any electric work of my own at this time. Steve also did a quick check of the house, taking notes for an estimate of electric upgrades (replacing a "pushmatic" with more modern breaker panel) and warned me that I would have to have some Time & Materials work related to a panel upgrade because of "old code" wiring to the dryer and the electric stove.
Description of Work: I replaced a duplex plug, and lost power somehow to half of my house. Diagnostics performed and another duplex was found defective and replaced.
