Excellent electrician! I called Mr. Whitney and received an estimate over the phone. He arrived at our house on time and did the work for the agreed upon cost. He installed the new lights with no ceiling damage and protected our floors and furniture. He also advised me on a future project. He is knowledgeable and professional .

Ed went through the listed items quickly and professionally. He was the best choice I could have made. Thanks to Angie's List and to Whitney and Sons
Description of Work: I had a list of issues regarding outlets not wired correctly and needed a few items corrected or disconnected. I was in a time crunch and Ed came out quickly and on time as promised. He was extremely professional and friendly and helpful. I wouldn't use anyone else. So happy I found him on Angie's List. It is great to have a "go to" guy in the future. I could not be more pleased.

Great experience. Did what he said he was going to do. Came when he said he was going to and even gave us some recommendations that helped reduce the overall cost. We will be using him again next time we have a need, hands down.

I've owned several homes and have dealt with many service technicians and contractors over the years. I have never, EVER dealt with a more dedicated, caring and professional company. Without going into to much boring detail, I can tell you without a single hesitation that you could not be in better hands. Whitney & Sons will bend over backwards and work tirelessly to make sure you get what you want and need. Without compromising the safety of your home and family. I picked them because of their excellent reviews and I have to say that the reviews don't even come close to what it is like working with them! Thank you Ed!!!
Description of Work: Installed 4 recessed can lights. Installed 2 ceiling fans. Tested a 3rd light box for ceiling fan support and determined it was not safe.

Ed is prompt. He's courteous. His estimates are more than fair and he never goes over what he quotes you. You seriously couldn't find a better man for your electrical needs.
Description of Work: Ed has done a variety of electrical work in our home including a complete electrical install for a new hot tub, installation of numerous vintage ceiling light fixtures, outlet repairs and even a repair on an old lighted sign.
Mr Whitney listened to me describe what problems we were having. I sent him an iphone photo of the outside photo cell that needed replaced, he said he would have one on the truck. I also explained that my husband was unable to replace a ceiling fan wall remote control. Set an appointment time for the following day, phoned when he was on his way, arrived and set to work. He tried everything to have the fan work with the remote that I provided, but it wasn't compatible. I'll reorder and have him back for installation. He then replaced the photo cell with one that was better encased. Overall good experience.

I have used Mr. Whitney in the past to move some outlets, and I really like him. He is a no nonsense gentleman who is very knowledgeable. He appears to know the applicable code better than any other electrician that we have consulted since moving to Tulsa. Seriously, his knowledge is impressive. This last project was not quite as successful. Usually, I meet with electricians and other tradesmen as opposed to my husband. Since my dad was a contractor, I have a little deeper knowledge in these areas, am better able to convey what I want, and can catch things when they are deviating from expectations. Unfortunately, I was busy, so my husband dealt with Mr. Whitney. This is probably part of the reason, that this project was not as successful as the prior projects. In many ways, Mr. Whitney was great. We needed the work done quickly, and he rearranged his schedule to squeeze us in the next day. That was kind of him to do. As mentioned above, the work involved installing underground conduit and digging trenches. This is generally the worst kind of work, and most electricians are not particularly jazzed about digging trenches for conduit. Mr. Whitney made clear in advance that he would be using a ditch witch trencher as opposed to digging by hand. In retrospect, we probably should have chosen an electrician who would be digging part of the trenches by hand. Ultimately, the trencher went through several irrigation lines and the irrigation wire. Please note that this was not Mr. Whitney's fault. When using a trencher, you cannot tell where underground pipes and wires are until you have actually broken them. My husband and I knew the pipes were there and should have chosen someone that would trench by hand to better avoid these pipes and wires. Our biggest concern is that ultimately the trenches were not deep enough to comply with code or even to begin pouring the foundations the next day. The landscapers were stressed about the delay and had to dig the trench deeper around the hardscaping to pour the footings. We had to hire another electrician to make the remainder of the trenches deeper. I guess it just seems weird to us that if you have a trencher and have already cut through the irrigation system, that you would not dig the trenches deep enough. However, Mr. Whitney and his helper put in a very long day, and it really was very hard work. It was dark when they left. At some point, you just hit a wall, so maybe they just hit their wall. Should you hire Mr. Whitney? Heck yeah, he is really very knowledgeable. Should you hire Mr. Whitney to do dreadful trench digging work? Maybe not. I would hire someone else to do the miserable work, and then hire Mr. Whitney to come in and do the more technical work. As mentioned above, he is very knowledgeable.
Description of Work: Most recently, Mr. Whitney and his assistant installed some underground conduit in the context of some hardscaping work we were having done. This involved a lot of trenching. In the past, I have used Mr. Whitney to move some outlets.

I've had him out a couple time in the past for simple projects. I originally found him on Angie's List and so I thought I could trust his competency & integrity. He has always charged $85 an hour. Today, he arrived 1 hour late & he brought a helper. In the middle of the job, he ran out to buy a soldering iron because although he has one in his van, his van was in the shop. He was gone an hour which I was charged for. Although he left without finishing the job (several of the lights that were working when he arrived, were not working when he left) or not even offering to finish. He just kept saying that he had to go. For this he charged us $100 an hour. He never told us his price had went up until he pulled out his bill! It would not have upset me so much but the wiring is all messed up now. I wonder if he truly knows what he is doing and I know he is not a man of his word! I will have to hire someone to fix his mess ups. Believe me when I say that I will not be looking on Angie's List again! .

Response from Whitney and Sons Electric Co
Yes we were late, but she called and I informed her the first job of the day ran over as many do.We arrived, two electricians not one. and started to work right away. I had asked earlier in the week if they had the landscape lighting connectors and they did. Unfortunately the connectors would not work with the wire on the new fixtures to the old wire. I could have used wire nuts, but this type of underground connection must be solid. I drove to store picked up a solder gun and supply's and returned. Matt the other Electrician stayed and worked very quickly. We took no breaks or charged for travel time. Removing 19 old fixtures, opening box and assembly of new fixtures, prep wires, soldered connections and taped up. Moved old fixture to another location and wired. New fixture was bad, so reinstalled old fixture back in location. In the back by the pool, the feeder wires were burned off, but they said it all was working before we came. Could not have been working. Wires were very corroded and damaged and I did my best to repair the burned off wire. farther down the line found another shoddy wiring connection. Told the Mister Homeowner I would fix it, but he said not to worry about it he would fix it. All of the existing underground wiring appeared to be grown into the root systems of many plants or damaged to some degree. we worked on 20 light fixtures devided into 4 hours that comes out to 12 minutes each, not including the splices to the main feeders.Packing up the old fixtures, and wearing white cotton gloves while working so as to NOT get finger prints on copper light fixtures. I reduced my regular rate of $85 to $75 for one electrician, and charged $25 for second electrician. The normal rate should have been$170 per hr. for two electricians. We regret that you were not satisfied with our work, and with my 45 years in the trade, I assure you I know what I'm doing, even if you don't. Ed Whitney

I looked at electricians on Angie's List and choose Whitney & Sons based on prior reviews. I set the appointment with Ed and he was 2 weeks out, which is fine, good for him being busy. He said he was on a job and wanted me to text his him my address and information, which I did. Day of the appointment he did not show. I called his number an hour after the set time (9am) and left a message. I called back at 12n and a little girl answered. She said Ed was on a tractor and would call me back when he got off. I called back at 4p and Ed answered. He said he was sorry and did not have my contact information, which was messaged to him. We set another appointment for the next weekend. Ed was 10 minutes late. Finished the job in 45 minutes and I paid him is hourly rate as agreed. All in all, happy with the work. Scheduling was eh. Ed was nice.

I thought Ed was very personable and easy to talk to. He clearly knew what he was doing and was finished in fairly short order. I'm having him back next week to add a motion sensor for my garage and a dimmer switch in my kitchen. I liked him a lot and will clearly be using him again in the future.

After reading all of the reviews on Angies list I decided to call Whitney and sons for some electrical work that we needed to have done. We needed to have some new light fixtures wired in and the others taken down. I called to make an appointment and the owner Ed answered, He was nice, professional, and courteous. Most importantly he could come out within the next two days. The day of the appointment he was running late, but he called to make sure that I knew he was running late. When he arrived it was him and another person. They got right to work and were very professional. The whole job took about an hour and he charged me $150.00 which was extremely reasonable. I even found out later that Ed was from the same town where I grew up in California. Great karma! I would recommend Ed to anyone who is looking for an honest and professional electrician who does great work. Thank you Ed! If I have any other electrical needs I will be sure to call you!

Matt and Ed showed up ready to work and fully equipped with everything they needed. My husband had laid out the conduit and bought some of the supplies, and they used all of those. They worked quickly, cleanly and efficiently, answering my questions and were very accommodating to my specific requests.
Description of Work: The conduit between our house and swimming pool pump had corroded over time and was causing a short and tripping the breaker. Ed and Matt arrived and were able to work with my initial thoughts and improved the overall design, efficiently giving me a short-term solution that would get my pool back and not cost a lot of rework when the implement the long-term solution.

Wow, incredible service.....honest, easy to talk to, good personality, and did a fabulous job. Would highly recommend him. Had him give me a few more quotes on projects that I have been putting off, and Ed told me to try a few things myself before having him come back...how often do you get that in today's world....most people would take advantage, and throw out the bid and tell you it needs to be done. I truly value that honesty. Y

During the health check, Ed spotted some fire hazards that were the result of electrical practices 30 years ago. He made sure to offer multiple solutions to ensure I could make a sound budget decision for corrective actions. Real down to earth and extremely honest. I'll be scheduling corrective action task work in the coming weeks.
