We bought a new clothes dryer and our old unit was hard-wired so we called Skettle to come install a receptacle. I called on Thursday afternoon and they were able to squeeze in an appointment on Friday morning. The electrician arrived right on time, was friendly and courteous, and had the job done in half an hour. Cost was $60 for the service call plus $15 for the receptacle. A simple job but it was great to get someone on short notice and to have the job done right.
Description of Work: Installed a 240v receptacle for a clothes dryer.

He showed me how to fix the light fixtures, and also went out of his way to go to the hardware store to get all of the components we needed, plus two extras for me to have on hand. He was very informative and patient with me. He was good natured, and answered all of my questions. The office kept me up to date on the man's arrival to my house.

I saw this company listed on Angie's List and they had a very positive rating. Very polite on the telephone; told me to go purchase the fixtures that we wanted installed because it would be cheaper for us. Also, that it is usually not worth it to repair. (All good advice!) Workman came on time; early, in fact, and did the job in less than an hour. (Originally we had hired a "handyman" to install these fixtures and it took him an endless amount of time to do it.) Prompt, professional, courteous. This was a small job, but I would highly recommend them to anyone. We will be using them again in the future.
Description of Work: We had two outside lights that had stopped working. Installed the two new fixtures. In addition, installed a dimmer switch inside the house at the bottom of the staircase.

Job 1: They were professional, courteous, prompt, & very knowledgeable. They answered & returned my calls promptly & scheduled me quickly. He had to come back the next day to finish the work, but he did & it was a wkend. Job 2: This is a family business. Kathy, Tony's lovely wife, answers the ph. & does the scheduling. The wait time is short for the work to be done was short. Brothers Tony & Patrick worked individually or as a team as needed. They are both extremely knowledgeable & competent, not to mention the nicest tradesmen ever! The work at my house was tricky both diagnostically & technically, but they never gave up. Unlike so many electricians who are only interested in new construction & "big jobs," these guys are very concerned about & good at diagnosing existing home problems & proceeding no matter how large or small the job. They are very neat & leave their work area clean at the end of each day. I found them to be respectful & polite and concerned that I got what I wanted.
Description of Work: Job 1: He put in some wall sockets and installed some florescent lights. He checked out a number of electrical heaters and exhaust fans in the house and he either repaired them or put in new motors.($800.) Job 2: Ran electrical lines for outside fixture and indoor ceiling fan; hung fixture and fan with switch; updated elec. outlets back patio; grounded existing computer outlet; re-routed cable line for TV; checked several outlets in house for working order.($1500.)

He wasn't cooperative and told me that I should have had tape on the walls where I wanted the outlets, but he could've told me ahead of time. The switch plates didn't flush up tight to the wall, so he had to come back to fix that. He had a bad attitude and I wouldn't use him again or recommend him to others.

Response from Skettle Electric Inc
WE GAVE THE MEMBER WRITTEN ESTIMATES FOR WORK ON BOTH HER HOME AND HER SON'S HOME. WE WERE HIRED TO WORK ONLY AT HER SON'S HOME. FROM THE TIME WE GAVE THE INITIAL ESTIMATE UNTIL WE FINISHED THE WORK, SHE CONTINUOUSLY MADE REMARKS TO THE EFFECT THAT "WE BETTER DO GOOD WORK BECAUSE SHE WAS ON ANGIE'S LIST". WE EXPLAINED TO HER THAT WE DO GOOD WORK FOR ALL OUR CUSTOMERS. PRIOR TO THE JOB SHE CALLED THE OFFICE MANY TIMES AND ASKED MANY QUESTIONS. THE DAY OF THE JOB, WE ARRIVED ON TIME, COMPLETED ALL OF THE WORK TO HER SATISFACTION. SHE MADE "THREATENING" REMARKS THE ENTIRE TIME THAT WE WORKED THERE, INCLUDING CALLING THE OFFICE TO SAY THAT WE WERE GONE TOO LONG PICKING UP MATERIALS THAT WE NEEDED. IF SHE REALLY FELT THAT OUR WORK WAS NOT DONE PROPERLY OR TO HER SATISFACTION, SHE DID NOT LET US KNOW. SHE PAID US UPON COMPLETION FOR THE JOB.

This company has done electrical work in my house on 3 different occasions in the past 2 months, and all have been positive experiences. They are very available, including on weekends, and reliably arrive on time. They do have a service charge to come out, but so do many other companies. They have diagnosed the problem quickly and correctly every-time. The workers are respectful, professional and friendly.

Patrick came to provide the estimate, provided a straightforward estimate on the spot that was pretty competitive with others I had. The team came and did a very clean job, everything is working great, and everyone was very professional. They also added an additional dedicated outlet in the basement next to the panel at no extra cost. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Fabulous. In the past I have gotten estimates from and had work done by other electricians including several which have high ratings from Angie's List. Skettle was, by far, the best experience. Unlike other companies, which almost as a rule, take days to return phone calls and weeks to come up with estimates, Skettle has a living person who answers the phone, had someone come out within about two days for the estimate on this routine job, and was able to do the work within a couple more days. They were fast, cleaned up, and the estimate was right on. If I could give them an A+ I would do so.

SCHEDULING AND PRICING ELECTRICAL WORK IS A DIFFICULT TASK. JOBS DO NOT ALWAYS GO AS PLANNED. HAVING ANGIE'S LIST AS A MEANS OF RECEIVING POSITIVE FEEDBACK FOR ALL THE EFFORTS WE EXERT TO HAVE A JOB GO WELL IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.

These were simple jobs that didn't require much skill, but the family-owned company responded immediately, and provided service the day after I called.

Skettle Electric was recommended to me by a friend who had them do some work at their house; they found Skettle on Angie's list. I got three bids from electricians and Skettle's bid was only $50 to $100 more than a one man electrician with no state license. Kathy Settle called me back promptly to set up a time for an estimate. Tony Skettle came over and was very knowledgeable and knew exactly what had to be done. He was able to give me a quote the day of the estimate and broke down the price to show what had to be done and what my options were. I called Kathy to setup a time for the work to be done and she called back the day before the job to confirm the appointment. Skettle arrived on time the day of the job. A three man crew of Tony his son and another worker performed the work. They made sure to stay after and label all the breakers on the panel box. They did a good job in cleaning up afterward. I to like my friend would recommend Skettle Electric.
Description of Work: Replaced outside electric meter box with new one. Moved the meter from back of house to side which moved electric wire higher and out of way of basketball hoop. Replaced three sub panels in basement (two of which were Federal Pacific) into one new 100 amp. panel with space for 10 more breakers if needed. Installed grounding rod outside to connect to new box. Enclosed into metal tubing and metal box loose wires running along basement ceiling to prevent wire violation for any future sale of house. All permits included in price. All work done in one day. Original estimate to include two panels instead of one (would of cost $200 more to move wiring to one box). On day of job Skettle decided it would be best to move all wiring into one box but did not charge me the extra $200 to do it and kept the price at $1,700.

They were too busy to come for an estimate. Got an idea of the cost for the job, but found other contractors who would start the job in about a week. The lead time was longer with this company. I would hire company if estimates and time frames worked out.

Wonderful. They were booked solid but fit us in when someone else cancelled. Electrician came on time and did two projects in under an hour, so we only had to pay $65. Work was done right the first time and we are very happy! Two outlets re-wired and tested for $65 - what a deal!
