It was sort of a long panel of lights, so my husband didn't know about fixing the electrical. I would just give them an A for everything. Yes, we would use them again. The amount of time they did it and the fixed everything. They sent us a bill later. I think that was the best part.
Description of Work: We had a light fixture in our kitchen on our ceiling that needed replaced.

I called Larkin Electric on Sunday at abt 5:40PM. Two of my kitchen outlets had stopped working and I was concerned that the refrigerator would also shut off. Tim Ashley (Residential Services for Larkin) called back two hours later on Sunday night. He offered to come out immediately or on Monday morning. We agreed on Monday morning. Tim called Monday AM when he was 20 minutes away. I gave Tim a list of my concerns when he arrived. He started on the most serious issue first - running a new ciircuit for the refrigerator. The attic access for the new wiring is horrible. It involves a small passage to the house' addition and crawling to a spot above the panel. Tim had to go into this space several times with very good humor. Tim explained everything he was doing and showed me where and why some of the outlets were failing. After several hours work and new wiring and outlets the bill only came to 200! We have scheduled an appointment for May. Two electricians will be checking all of the outlets in the house and replacing any that are questionable. Tim did an estimate based on the number of outlets, whether furniture will have to be moved, and the total number of hours for two men. The estimate is very reasonable for the amount of work to be done. I have used Larkin Electric several times over the years, I know I will continue to use them in the future.
Description of Work: Separated and added a new circuit for the refrigerator. It was on the same circuit as the Microwave. The Microwave was throwing a circuit breaker when the refrigerator was running and shutting down another outlet in the kitchen... Tested and replaced several outlets. One had been overheating with a space heater plugged in. Others were loose and didn't always work.

All work was performed very well. I would definitely call Larkin for future electrical work again.
Description of Work: I provided Tim a list of all of the electrical work I needed done from replacing a ceiling fan to removing obsolete outdoor light fixtures to moving a switch so that a wall could be demolished. Tim followed this list exactly and even worked on a few items which were not on the list, at an additional, reasonable cost. Tim was knowledgeable and efficient in the use of his time.

I was very pleased with Larkin Electric, from the initial conversation on services and charges, as well as a call to me to alert me that the service men were delayed due to a previous service call. The men were polite, helpful in advising me on installation decisions and did an excellent job for me. I would definitely contact them again for work.
Description of Work: I I had the location of one ceiling fixture moved. I had three lighting fixtures replaces.

They are the greatest. What ever they fix, is fixed the first time, no matter what it is. I have been using him since the 1970s. They never let you down. When you receive their caliber of service, you don’t mind paying for it.

We have paid for probably half of it, but the work is not yet completed. We have spent probably about $1000 for the work that is completed. We like everything about them. They are prompt, professional and did what they were supposed to do. We are happy with their service. We would definitely use their services in the future too.
Description of Work: We used the services of Larkin Electric for some electrical work. They have been working on a project for us for the last couple of months. They are upgrading our electrical service. So, our last interaction with them was probably within the last 10 days.

Did an excellent job in working with old electric in an old house. We had two new switches with dimmer slides installed, and an updated lighting fixture changed out. Worked with thick, cement walls, older wiring, things that might stump others. Did a good job and it looks great. There was some problems with scheduling, and missed appointments, but ultimately I'd hire them again.
Description of Work: Installed two new fixtures and switches. Updated all from older wiring/fixtures, etc.

Pitiful.
Description of Work: I called Larkin Electric the day I joined Angie's List. They explained they were very busy and it would be more than a week to get an electrician to my home. Two electricians stopped by and I spent almost an hour explaining the issues with my landscape lighting. I was told to expect a project proposal outlining the scope of work, timing and cost. That was 5 weeks ago!!!! I haven't received any type of follow up communication whatsoever.

The service provided was excellent. When I called to make an appointment, the person who schedules residential calls called me back almost immediately because I told them I was traveling that day and would be on a plane in about an hour. When the electrician came to our house, he arrived when he said he would. Our problem turned out to be a fairly simple fix (just a hidden GFI switch that needed to be "switched"), they only charged us for the service call. He also took a look in our garage. When we bought our house, the inspector told us the electric wasn't "up to code." That turned out to be a very simple fix, too - we just need to add some 20-cent caps/covers on some 'exposed' wires. He told us we could very easily do that ourselves. Larkin Electric was extremely prompt, helpful and professional! I would definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: The electrician came to our house to check on two wall lamps in our hallway. One wasn't turning on at all, and one turned on only sometimes.

Excellent work. Contractor did not come the day that was stated. I called and the electrician came the next day promptly. Contractor stated that the prior job ran overtime. However, I left work early to make the appointment and no one called me to advise that the contractor was not coming. Otherwise, the workmanship was excellent, the price was fair, and the contractor did apologize for the missed appointment, and he came promptly on Saturday morning.
Description of Work: Replaced defective electrical switch in my kitchen.

Very well. Tim provided an estimate over the phone based on my description of the work. We scheduled the work for later the same week, and Matt and Tim arrived promptly on the scheduled day at the scheduled time. They were knowledgeable and professional, completing the work in about an hour even though they encountered unanticipated pipes in the ceiling. They worked well as a team and left me with a much smaller hole to patch, and a much better installation than if I had attempted the work myself. It certainly took them much less time than I would have needed, but then, they are professionals and know what they are doing, not figuring it out as they go! And, they cleaned up when they were done. I would definitely use Larkin Electric the next time I have an electrical project. Best $125 I have spent in quite awhile.
Description of Work: They installed a ceiling fan box, and added a wall switch to control the new box. There is a room above, so the box installation had to be performed thru the existing ceiling. As I was remodeling the room, I had removed the lower portion of the wall drywall providing partial access for running the wiring from the new switch. However, they still needed to cut a small hole at the ceiling line to pull the wire vertically from the lower portion of the wall, and horizontally thru the ceiling to the fan box.

Although we're not going to complete our project at this time, the people at Larkin Electric were very professional. I left a message and the manager called me right back with all the information I needed. He provided an estimate ($75 per light installed) and told me that they are flexible with their work hours. We will definitely use their services when we decide to complete our project.

The men that came out were very professional and knew their stuff. It took them less time than I thought it would to complete everything and they were neat and courteous. Although I do not wish to show the price at this time, I feel it was right around the amount I thought it would be.
Description of Work: They installed 3 ceiling fans and rewired two outlets from the upstairs to the main circuit breaker box. They took 2 hours to finish the job completely.

The estimator seemed very professional. He discussed the work to be done and made some recommendations. We told him we wanted them to do the job. A scheduler called the next day and set up a day of the week, date, and time for the work to start. We wrote the information down (in two places.) On the scheduled day, no one showed up. We were unable to get through the voicemail wall to talk to someone. They showed up the next day, but by then, we had decided we would not have them do the work. We had deferred other plans to accommodate their schedule, and we were dissatisfied with the failure to keep the appointment as scheduled.
