Excellent. The job took about 3 hours, and was scheduled within 2 days of when I called. They didn't give a written estimate, but gave me an idea of how much it might cost. The final price was within $25. The ceiling is plaster and wood lath with a textured paint finish, so we were concerned about having to patch holes in the ceiling. We had originally planned a switch location near the front door, but this would have required wire mold on the front wall (solid brick), and multiple holes in the ceiling. Cooper suggested an alternate location for the switch which allowed wiring to run inside a new partition wall previously added (and was drywall, so easier to repair), and the switch is only two steps from the door, still easy to get to when getting home after dark. He was able to complete the installation with no holes in the ceiling (other than for the fixture itself), and only two small holes in the drywall, for which he left the cut-out pieces intact for us to make the repair.
Description of Work: Installed a new light fixture in the ceiling of a 1st floor room in our 120+ year old home.

Our job was so big that the electricians were there for 2 1/2 weeks. They worked very hard. Tony was on the job at 6:30 AM on many of the days. He put in extra hours on Saturday to correct an unexpected issue. Dave the other electrician deigned the lighting in the kitchen which turned out very good. There was a lot of work done and it was managed very well. The inspections went well so I know the work was done to code. I trust this company.
Description of Work: Whole house rewire, clean out knob and tube wiring from basement and attic. Install miscellaneous lighting.

The technician arrived promptly. He began by checking the circuit breaker and determined that the problem was probably a circuit. He then checked each outlet in the two rooms served by that fuse and determined where the short was located. He then fixed the short. He was probably here for one and a half to two hours. Very polite, courteous, and professional.
Description of Work: We had a fuse that would not reset. He checked all outlets for source of problem and then fixed a short.

They really didn't do any work. They had installed a four-gang with GFCI outside. I called and told them the GFCI won't reset. They came out and told me that the outlet needed to be powered to reset the GFCI. Why didn't they tell me this when they installed the GFCI or over the phone? Or why didn't they realize that they should have told me and not charged me the $90 dollar service charge?

We were very pleased with Cooper's straight-forward inspection of the aluminum wiring in a home we didn't end up buying (due to their assessment that it was unsafe). They did give the seller an estimate of the repairs needed but they refused to undertake the work. Thanks to Cooper's inspection we were able to decide on another house with copper wiring that was much safer.

The electrician diagnosed the problem as a short in outdoor lamp post. To remedy immediate situation the outdoor wiring was disconnected. As a result, the breaker reset and electricity restored to the portion of the house affected by that breaker. I requested an estimate on rewiring the lamp post. The electrician said that he would inform the office and they would send someone out to give an estimate. I have never been contacted by their office regarding the estimate. The electrician did not give us the Angie's List discount because I did not have a hard copy of the online coupon. Because our home printer was not functioning, I asked him if I could log onto the Angie's List website to show him that we are indeed members. He said that that would not be acceptable because he was required to attach a paper copy of the coupon to his paperwork. I felt that the position taken was unreasonable.

Punctual and provided clear explanations. Have been using Cooper Electric for over 8 years now, for both our old houses, the last one nearly 100 years old. Service-people always familiar with the kinds of old wiring they encounter, very alert to safety issues, always suggest reasonably priced but thorough fixes. A very trustworthy company for very important work. Highly recommend.
Description of Work: New to us but 70-year-old house has funky wiring, including a light that would turn on sometimes, not at other times. Serviceman found the problem after exhausting several simpler possibilities, and fixed it. Also installed grounded outlet for washer/dryer, and checked other outlets.

Cooper's employees were prompt, courteous and informative. They were careful not to chip paint and cleaned up after themselves. They are very honest. A fixture I thought needed replacing only need a small adjustment and so I was able to keep the original. They could have taken more time and charged me for a new one. I'll definitely hire them if I need work done in the future.
