Tech was late but called to let me know, which was greatly appreciated. He had also found that our separate power switch for the HVAC had corroded wires and replaced what he could to make it safe with the recommendation to contact our HVAC provider to put in the appropriate switch for the amperage since he did not have one on hand. Overall, good experience. Will contact for any future electrical work.

The electrician arrived within a few hours of my phone call. He quickly accessed the problem, made the repairs and cleaned up the area. I am grateful for the quick response time. I wasn't too happy about the double charge for the service call (because it was Sunday), but totally understand. I was pleased that they gave me a 10% Military Discount though.
Description of Work: Replaced a fried outlet in garage. My grandson used multiple extension cords, one of which was faulty. Luckily he was 20+ feet away when he turned on the vacuum and the outlet blew. I was in the kitchen, about 10 feet away from the outlet. I heard the load bzzzzzzzz of electricity and ran into the garage to make sure my grandson was still alive; he was. Of course all of this happened late Sunday afternoon. The fully loaded freezer in the garage was also plugged into the blown outlet making this an emergency repair.

The job went really well. Bonham Electric's electricians were friendly and knowledgeable. They went over and above the scope of work. The pricing was fair. For anyone who is interested in a whole house generator I would highly recommend Jeff Bonham Electric.
Description of Work: Installed a Kohler generator.

The service man called prior to my appointment start time to let me know he would be arriving late. I let him know that wasn't a problem since I was going to be home for the rest of the day. He showed up 1 hour after our originally scheduled time and was very professional and knowledgeable. He explained that we needed our electrical box replaced to upgrade an outdated box and prevent shortages from happening in the kitchen. After we explained some other work we were interested in, he took note and said he would get us a quote out. I received a quote and am currently in the process of scheduling to have the work done
Description of Work: Inspected our electrical box, repaired and reattached a light fixture and repaired a light switch that had gone bad.

The battery is supposed to "exercise"/ come on once a week for 12mins. We had ugly weather over the weekend and the battery failed on its exercise. I went out to check the battery and put it on manual to start but it still wouldn't start. I was afraid to wait around so I went and bought a new battery (the battery that Generex recommends to use). I called the service provider to tell them that the battery had failed and the secretary said they would get back with me. They followed up on 12/30 and told me that I should take the battery back where they bought it. I wanted to know why it was up to me to take the battery back when they were the ones who installed it. I couldn't remember the name of the company they bought it from but it was a 24 month battery and Generex recommended a 75 month battery. I felt they should have known the type of battery to install since it is their profession. I feel they did not stand behind their work and essentially washed their hands of the situation since the battery failed and it was up to me, the customer, to do the legwork by returning the battery.
Description of Work: They installed a battery in my Generex generator 15 months ago.

Response from Jeff Bonham Electric Inc
As a Generac dealer and installer for around 10 years, we always install a battery by "Installation Guidelines" manual. It does not make mention of any "recommended warranty." It only states the size of 26R, 12volt, and 525 CCA. Our battery is also fully warrantied for 24 months and we offered to come out and replace it for him at only the cost of the trip and the minimum labor (battery would have been free), or gave the option for him to take it back to the store that we get the batteries from to avoid our charge of trip and labor, but he had already replaced the battery himself before calling us about the issue.

Jeff and his team removed all existing overhead garage tube lights and then installed new, higher efficiency tube lighting. A new exterior GFI outlet was installed using an existing interior circuit. All work and the corresponding final clean-up was well done by a professional, respectful team.
Description of Work: Installed four double sets of overhead lighting in garage & new outdoor GFI receptacle.

Everything went great! Two guys showed up on time and worked steadily until the job was done. They cleaned up after themselves and the final bill matched the estimate exactly. I'll definitely use them again for any future work I may need done!
Description of Work: Installed a new 2 ½ mast, new meter box, new service cable, new ground rod and communication lug, new water ground and new 24 circuit Square D breaker panel. They installed two new 15 amp circuits on dedicated circuit, one to each bedroom including one new duplex receptacle in each bedroom. They grounded the refrigerator outlet, installed one GFCI in kitchen and installed round blank plate outside to cover a missing light fixture.

They arrived promptly and reviewed the specs of the job. They installed the dedicated 2 outlets first, then shut down the power at 9:25 am, exchanged the electrical box, put up a new base to attached the breaker box. replaced the outside cable from feed to new meter box and then to the internal breaker box. The outside wire was attached to the siding and it was done in a very professional manner with no issues. The upgrade of breaker box was done cleanly and no issues. Power out just over 5 1/2 hours, refrigs were fine and no food went bad. Does: Before work starts, review specs of work to be done and show them where things are loaded at (electrical box, where the new outlets would go, etc. Just let then know where you will be at if they need to ask you questions. Don'ts: Once work has started, stay out of there way and don't keep asking for updates. Go on with other things you can do inside, do outside work or read a book.
Description of Work: Exchange fuse box with circuit breakers box, replaced outside cable from feed to meter to internal box. Installed 2 dedicate outlets (kitchen and main bathroom). Inspect wiring and tested circuits for labeling needs.
