Converse Electric was punctual and very professional. They did a good job installing the ceiling fan. They are a bit expense, however. They charged me for 3.5 hours of work and were only there for 2.

They were definitely very professional. They were very helpful. They gave us a Veteran's discount for my husband. They did the math wrong, but they called us back to tell us they were going to refund some money back to us. He corrected us, without us even finding it ourselves. We chose them because they had a good rating on Angie's List.

Everything was OUTSTANDING from start to finish! Upon arrival, the electrician (Larry) was very courteous and respectful. Even though I told him it wasn't necessary, he insisted on putting on his shoe covers to make sure he didn't track anything on our carpet/floors. He arrived on time and worked steadily and professionally, explaining what he was doing so that we understood what he was doing and why he was doing it. Upon completion, Larry demonstrated that the outlet/switch was fully operational and was mindful to clean up any mess that may have been made. Because of the professional service we received from Larry, we will be using Converse for all of our electrical needs and will definitely be requesting Larry as our technician/electrician!
Description of Work: The first time we used Converse Electric, the electrician that came out (Larry) made some repairs/replacements to electrical outlets and light switches that were covered under our home warranty. He did such a good job, we called back and requested him for some work we needed done with our hot tub. He came over and inspected our existing hot tub wiring and connections to make sure the hot tub we were purchasing would operate properly.

They did a good job. They were a little expensive.
Description of Work: I added four outlets in the kitchen. When running the lines to the panel box, it was determined it should be upgraded to accommodate the additional outlets.

Dan was very professional, very helpful, and very responsive to any and all questions I had before, during, and after the work was completed. The level of customer service was absolutely paramount. This is how a business should be run! Jeff, the electrician who installed all of the lighting was very professional, very knowledgeable, precise, accurate, and patient with any questions I had during the installation. This company provided me with outstanding workmanship and the best price by far. I will be calling on Converse again for all my future electrical needs.
Description of Work: Install (8) new can lights in (2) bedrooms. Change laundry room light to fluorescent. Change (2) surface mount light fixtures to can lights.

There was a schedule issue to start the project but everyone at Converse worked quickly to adjust and get us back on track. Jeff, the electrician that came on site was very professional and VERY helpful. As we walked through the ideas we had for the basement he was quick to offer suggestions and ideas to make sure we had the best possible layout. Our goal was an industrial look for the basement and we were happy that they understood our esthetic (not many vendors we met with did!). We were very happy with the price and the service that Converse provided. We look forward to working with them again for our upstairs projects!
Description of Work: We were in the process of finishing our basement and had Converse added several potlights, outlets, and wiring assistance for surround sound.

The upgrade went very well. Very nice and professional. The upgrade took the entire day. The inspector from the City of Westerville complimented them on their work. This upgrade was part of a remedy to sell our home. We would call Converse again for our new home if needed.

It didn't cost very much and they were very efficient. They came on time and I've used them several times for electrical work. They were respectful about being around my home. They were neat and I felt safe around them. They were also polite and I felt that they were very honest as well.
Description of Work: They came and put a new top on an outdoor light that I had.

I had some outlets that worked intermittently, all of them working or not working at the same time. A handyman had been unable to fix the problem. Converse Electrical was one of the contractors allowed under my home warranty contract, so I called them. They came when scheduled, found the problem quickly, and replaced the problem outlets. They were finished in a little over an hour. I paid the $100 deductible required under my contract.
Description of Work: Replaced outlets.
