Hot tub stopped work due to no electric power to tub after one week. My wife called Jim Bach and he said that he would not diagnose over phone but to text him problem and that he would come next morning to fix it. The following afternoon I called him because he never responded. So I asked if he could come as soon as he could and that I understood that he was busy but that we have already paid for his services. He responded “Ok, let me tell this customer that I am pulling off this job so that I can go over”. As he was hanging up he said “*******”. Totally unprofessional and awful customer service.

Excellent! Received an email from Scioto Valley stating they were a recommended electrician. I called Bach Electric on a Friday right after my hot tub was delivered and left a message. They promptly returned my call. They scheduled the electrical wiring for the next morning between 8 and 9 am but would call in the morning when they were 30 minutes away. They called an let me know they would arrive about 9:45 am. They were dressed in uniforms and looked professional. Installation took less than two hours. My install had an extra long run of wire and was under my deck. Everything was done to code. They walked me through exactly what they did and how the external required breaker works. They also walked me through the ENTIRE operation of my hot tub. Job looked very clean and they were extremely professional. I asked how many hot tub installs they have done and they said over a 1000. Don't hesitate to use them if you need electrical work done.
Description of Work: Wired new hot tub but would use them for any electrical job.

Requested estimate for wiring of remodeled three season room. Vendor never responded to request. Consulted Angie's List to review his past performance and found that this had been a recurring issue with other reviewers. Found another provider on the list and have been very happy with his responsiveness and performance.

Response from Bach Electric Co
Sorry for your confusion, but we do not wire 3 or 4 season rooms or room additions. That is why we did not respond to your request for a quote. I'm sorry you felt like giving us an "F" even though no work was done. Glad you found someone who was able to do it. Bach Electric Co. Inc.

because there has never been a follow up, we cannot tell how the work would have been done. But if this is an indication of their professionalism. I would not anticipate a very good job
Description of Work: We had this company perform electrical work for us in the past. Our complaint is that my husband contacted the company back in September to give us an estimate on some electrical work we needed done. My husband took time off work to meet with them and explain what we wanted done. We were told that they would get back with us in a few days with the quote. Since September my husband has called twice and left messages asking when we would get the quote. So far no one has called us back. Needless to say we have decided to use another contractor. If Bach Electric did not want to perform the work, at least we should have been contacted.

They really couldn't give an estimate because it depended upon how many feet they moved it. The price was a little high and they weren't organized.

Overall, Bach did a good job. They were timely and professional. We only had 2 issues with the project: 1) Due to Delaware County requirements they had to come back out and change a requirement of the county but it was immediate and no inconvenience to us; 2) We requestedt the plug be placed on a specific side of the door and unfortunately it was placed on the opposite side. However, upon pointing this out to Jim he immediately corrected the location and moved the plug to the side we originally requested. Since then, in November, using Angie's List , we contacted Bach to do some kitchen lighting for us. Jim came out and met with us. He had some terrific ideas and informed us he would email a quote to us within a couple of days. After 10 days I called him to ask for the status, he said he would send it to me the next day and he offered to stop by our home and show us samples of the under-cabinet lighting he was recommending. Sadly, Jim has never called me back, no quote via email has been received and Bach Electric has not stopped by with any samples. We are now looking for another company to do our kitchen lighting project. This is truly unfortunate. Bach seemed like a very knowledgeable and responsive company.
Description of Work: We purchased a Jacuzzi hot tub in April 2011. At the recommendation of the retail store, we used Bach to put in the required outside electtric box and plug. They did a good job. They were timely and professional.

Description of Work: I was pleased with the work, however the electrician had to go in and out and he brought mud into the house on the carpet. It was a very rainy day and he was pretty wet. He should have had booties.

Bach Electric was actually recommended by both All Seasons Spas and Scioto Valley when we were initially shopping for a hot tub. After our purchase (from All Seasons Spas) Jim came and gave us a free, detailed, itemized estimate. We did not realize the detail of what needed to be done, and he was very patient with explaining every detail to us. As he had said would happen, his workers were here when the the Jacuzzi was delivered, and they worked diligently to get it wired and ready for us to use the same day.
Description of Work: Complete installation of Jacuzzi hot tub, including: - Standard 220 volt 50 amp hot tub hookup, including the necessary wiring, with quick disconnect - GFCI 220 volt 50 amp weatherproof disconnect

Jim of Bach Electric is one of the few "good guys" left. He always returns phone calls, shows up when he says he is going to, and goes the extra mile with any situation. We will use Bach Electric again and recommend this company without hesitation.

It went really well. They came right away and they did it very quickly. They came in and told me what needed to be done. They saved me money by just changing out the outlets in a particular way. They were very courteous and friendly.

Very professional and very competent. Friendly and efficient.
Description of Work: Circuit breaker kept breaking. The electricians went over the entire circuit to identify the problem. Using high tech equipment they identified the problem as a shorted wire in the wall. They repaid the problem in a very professional manner.

Bach was on Scioto Valley's referral list of electricians. Started out good but quickly turned into a major headache of unanswered calls, messy workers and total disregard for scheduled appointments. Initial job was completed quickly, but final approval by local authority was delayed many days because Bach wasn't licensed to do work in our area. Work appeared professional, workers were polite, but always left behind a mess in the house and were careless when walking through home with tools, ladders etc. Installers repeatedly bumped doors with equipment without acknowledgment. Had problems with breaker tripping and eventually changed configuration after much effort. I honestly don t know if the final solution satisfies local code. I m too worn out to care right now.
Description of Work: Installed electric service needed for new spa.

Response from Bach Electric Co
BACH ELECTRIC IS LICENSED IN THE ENTIRE STATE OF OHIO. CUSTOMER IS CORRECT WE DID MISS AN APPOINTMENT AS WE WERE ON CALL WITH ST.ANN'S HOSPITAL EMERGENCY SERVICES. (NO PHONES IN HOSPITAL) MY CREW MEMBER DIDN'T CALL THE CUSTOMER TO LET THEM KNOW WE COULDN'T MAKE IT. OUR FAULT. WE APOLOGIZED FOR THE MISTAKE BUT CUSTOMER WASN'T SATISFIED. LATER CUSTOMER STATED HE WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE CIRCUIT, WE WENT OUT, RELOCATED A DISCONNECT, CUSTOMER STATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED. OUR JOB WAS DONE CORRECT AND TO CODE THE FIRST TIME. IF THE CUSTOMER HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY GUYS "BEING MESSY" HE SHOULD OF STATED IT AT THE TIME OF THE WORK BEING DONE AND WE WOULD OF TAKEN CARE OF IT...NOT 4 MONTHS LATER TO ANGIE'S LIST, AND NEVER TO ME. THIS IS THE FIRST WE HEARD OF IT. THIS IS THE ONLY TIME I HAVE EVER HEARD OF MY CREW BEING MESSY! I THINK THE CUSTOMER WAS UPSET HIS APPOINTMENT WAS MISSED AND HAS EXAGGERATED THE SITUATION.

I INITIALLY SELECTED BACH ELECTRICAL BECAUSE I HAD HEARD THEY DID GOOD WORK AT REASONABLE PRICES. MY INITIAL CALL ON OCT. 27TH WAS FOR A HOT TUB TO BE HOOKED UP. JIM EXPLAINED THAT IF I HAD AN OLDER HOUSE I MIGHT NEED AN ADDITION TO MY BREAKER BOX OR EVEN A NEW BREAKER BOX, BUT EVEN SO HE COULD HAVE ME IN MY HOT TUB BY TUESDAY. MISLEADING IF A NEW BOX WAS NEEDED. HE SAID HE'D BE OVER BETWEEN 9:00 AND 10:00 AM ON OCT. 28TH. HE DID NOT COME NOR DID HE CALL. AT 1:00 PM (3 HOURS LATE) 2 OF HIS WORKERS SHOWED UP. I WAS GOING TO NEED A NEW BOX. I DECIDED TO ADD AN OUTDOOR PORCH LIGHT TO THE PROJECT. I WAS TOLD JIM WOULD CALL ME WITH THE ESTIMATED PRICE, AND WHEN THE JOB WOULD BE DONE. I CALLED JIM LATE AFTERNOON ON OCT. 31ST, AND LEFT HIM A VOICE MAIL. HE DIDN'T RETURN MY CALL TILL NOV. 3RD. HE SAID HE HAD HAD JURY DUTY THE PREVIOUS WEEK. BY THIS TIME I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF CONTRACTING WITH ANOTHER OUTFIT.
