.Gave us a great inspection with clear results. The really did a whole house top to bottom inspection. We are going to use them for electrical upgrades on our house in the future, but they did not push any future work which I appreciated. The only reason I gave them a B on professionalism was one of the gentlemen wore heavy boots that were pretty dirty and kept them on during the inspection..I ended up vacuuming because of the dirt...otherwise no problems.

I was a bit nervous when scheduling service with Mike's Electric due to some feedback stating inconsistent pricing and value disputes. However, all of my concerns were unfounded. I was very open about my concerns on the pricing and Mike's electric spent good time explaining exactly how the billing works a long with an estimate of the number of hours that would likely be needed. It is important to respect that without actually reviewing the site, it is difficult to know exactly how long it might take to complete the tasks. You also have the option of not having a Journeyman to come out if you are uncomfortable with the Journeyman process. I highly encourage any concerned customers to give them a phone call. Mike's will take the time to explain the entire process and cost breakout. I provided Mike's with a detailed list of items to be completed, and had a great conversation with Darryl on what other items I might run into that could be investigated. On the day of the service, the team showed up early and immediately got to work. There was no standing around and wasting time. Both the Journeyman and the Master Electrician were hard at work the whole time. I chose to provide my own GFCI TR outlets to save some money and the on site team was very strict on getting everything to code. They even made several suggestions for some items that saved me additional labor and time. Overall this was a great experience. The cost was higher than some other quotes I got, but the customer service factor and professionalism more than covered that difference. If you want to get the job done right and to code specifications, I would recommend Mike's Electric.

Thank you for your review and your business. we understand the apprehension over the potential cost of significant electrical repairs. We're always happy to take the time to thoroughly explain our billing process in advance. As you say, it isn't always possible to provide a precise estimate of cost over the phone and we're not in a position to send one of our estimators out on every possible opportunity, so some element of trust has to be assumed on each side. We're glad that we met, or exceeded, your expectations!

Our first interaction with Mike's Electric was through the phone setting up the estimate appointment. They were friendly, courteous and answered all my upfront questions. They setup an appointment. Everything from that point forward was handled professionally. Doug came on time and was efficient when conducting his evaluation. I asked questions and he answered all of them. He provided a written estimate for three options on the property within 24 hours of the appointment. I called them many times to ask questions about each option and everytime Mike's personnel answered without getting frustrated or annoyed with me. Mike's sent Brian and Jason to do the work and both were extremely professional and punctual. They worked efficiently and provided accurate estimates for when they would be finished. They even went the extra mile to replace the cover plate for our old meter location that PGE inadvertently took (this required Brian going back to the shop searching for a new plate and then coming back to our house to replace the plate) and added a plug beneath our new panel at no extra charge. We were a bit worried about the initial estimate because it was higher than we expected, but the final cost came in much lower than the estimate and the quality and professionalism of Mike's personnel really made it all worth the money. In the end, the price was very reasonable and fair. I cannot stress enough how happy we are with all of our interactions with Mike's staff and the end product. Brian and Jason did an excellent job. We will definitely seek their help for any future work!
Description of Work: Updated our panel service and moved the meter to the other side of the property.

After I became dissatisfied with an Angie's Deal, I phoned Mike's Electric to do the job. I had worked with Mike's Electric several times before and knew they would provide good, honest service. I made the appointment, the electrical team showed up on time (even a little early), did the job in a professional manned, cleaned up and moved on. I was totally satisfied. It was a little more expensive than I expected, but I forgot travel time.
Description of Work: Removed three light fixtures and installed three new fixtures that I provided.

I have an older home and the power ran from the street, around the fireplace and then over the roof overhang above my side door into the meter. Since I was getting a new roof, it seemed like a fine time to fix this. Mike's Electric was extremely responsive to my quick timeline since this needed to be done before the roofers who were already scheduled. They coordinated with PP&L to move the meter, and basically put in all new service really quickly and even put in an outdoor plug for me as a last minute request. Everyone I spoke with from the Estimator to the office workers to the installers were helpful, professional and just plane awesome. The Inspector was also impressed with the work done and said only good things about the company. I'd definitely use them again.

Very pleased with everyone I dealt with at this company. The estimator Doug was very knowledgeable and informative. His professionalism and knowledge is what made me choose Mike's Electric over other companies I received estimates from. Brian and B (can't remember the other installers name) were amazing! We had a lot of work done and both electricians were here for 2 days getting everything completed. The electricians were professional, very informative, always explaining to me what they were doing and why, very thorough, and very nice to work with. We have other electrical work that needs to done and Mike's Electric will be the company we will be calling. In this day and age when customer service is lacking and employees do iffy work, it was refreshing to work with Mike's Electric. Every employee I dealt with was pleasant, professional and nice to work with. The electricians did excellent work. Even the Washington County inspector commented how great this company is.

Work = OK. Attitude and overcharging = unacceptable. Owner quoted me by phone $138 first hour, $108 for second hour of straightforward minor job. Journeyman (woman) and apprentice came out and did agreed upon work satisfactorily. Took just over 2 hours and journeywoman said she would deduct time due to not having their usual van. She also was working with/training an apprentice, which we did not have a say in and should not be charged for. This is company's responsibility, not ours. She gave me and her apprentice attitude whenever we asked a question, frequently complained that she didn't have her own tools, just the apprentice's as hers were out in van, and sent him on many trips to and from. I offered to pay with check at end of service; she said they'd send a bill. Got the bill: $45 material, $216 journeyman labor, $140 apprentice labor, $243 and $180 for I don't know what as there's nothing written for these 2 charges, for a total of $824. Called owner and we discussed the quoted prices, time, work, and the bill's overcharges. He went back and forth with me over the charges, and I had to argue to get the bill corrected. He lowered the bill to $400+ which is still way over proper amount. I had to continue explaining how I wasn't going to pay $824 or $400+, how I should not have to pay for apprentice labor, how total time was only 2 hours, not 2 hours 45 minutes as he claimed, how workers had to repeatedly go out to van for tools, etc., and that I was only paying for quoted price and actual time. He finally agreed to this and we agreed he'd send a revised invoice, which came with total cost of $291 which is closer to quoted and appropriate amount. Paid bill and concluded our transaction. Journeywoman's attitude and especially huge overcharges were both unprofessional. Bill had no explanation for $423. Owner should have apologized and immediately fixed this problem to make it right, not argued defensively about it. Will not use Mike's Electric again nor advise others to do so. I also reported this to the BBB. *(I have rewritten and reposted this review using my account. My mistake was using a friend's account, which provider said he did not know).
Description of Work: Installed rerouted wire, electric box, new outlet and cover plate for range. Removed and rerouted improperly installed electric box for microwave. Huge discrepancy between quoted cost and actual bill filled with overcharges.

This member improperly used another member's address and Angie's List account to write his review - apparently to mask his identity, making his credibility suspect and wasting our time trying to figure out which of our customers this was. We have communicated this to our management team at Angie's List and they have assured us such conduct is improper and will be addressing it with both members. There was in fact a computer-generated billing error that was addressed immediately, and for that we apologize. However, there was no "back and forth" and having to "argue to get the bill corrected". Those statements are both false. He also wanted to adjust our apprentice labor beyond what had been agreed to at the time of work. We didn't, and still don't, feel that was appropriate but given the much larger error we had made in billing we agreed to the number he requested (keep in mind this was all done in a single phone call - no "back and forth"). The owner asked him if he would clear his account with his credit card at the same time. Member said he would, and then declined to do so when transferred to our billing department. He said he had paid his bill at the time the original review was written. This is also not true. He never did pay by credit card as he had agreed. Nearly all Angie's List customers are wonderful and fair to work with. This member is an exception and we look forward to having him take his business elsewhere in the future.

Brad and Brian did a fantastic and in some cases difficult job in a high quality and efficient way. They completed what was expected to be a 1.5 day job in a day. Their demeanor was courteous and professional. Brian crawled around our attic, never pleasant, especially on a hot day and stood on top of a high ladder to put in one of the chandeliers. Brad managed to install one light in spite of some obstacles in the attic and fixed some shoddy workmanship of the home builder.. They maintained a cheerful and friendly attitude throughout. Doug the estimator was also great, with a good sense of humor. Likewise Allyson and Darryl in the office were very helpful. We look forward to using their services again soon.

From being flexible about scheduling to sending excellent electricians, Mike's Electric continues to serve us well. Aaron (assisted by a journeyman) arrived on time, as usual, completed all tasks efficiently, answered every question knowledgeably, and explained his recommendations clearly. We are absolutely confident of this electrical company's ethics and the skills of the electricians they send. We call Mike's first for any electrical need!

The appointment was set up for between 10 AM and 12 PM. They called at 10:30 AM to let me know they would be there within 45 minutes. They were earlier than that. I showed the electricians the lights in the kitchen and the new lights we had purchased to replace the current lights. They got to work and did a great job. They were considerate of dust and put down a drop cloth. They even took the old fluorescent lights with them tubes and all. A great relief since I didn't know how to dispose of them.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. All fluorescent lamps, other light bulbs, batteries, styrofoam, chandeliers, switches, outlets, wire, packaging material, etc., are properly recycled. Very little goes into landfills - in fact less than what most homeowners put on the curb each week. Many light fixtures and chandeliers are donated to Habitat for Humanity for a second life in someone else's home!

I had new plumbing put in and a new water heater. The old one had been there for many years and the electrical connection was located at the bottom (instead of the top). My plumber tried to hook up the water heater with wire nuts to get me to the time I could hire an electrician, but it didn't work. So I was without hot water for almost a week. Mike's was available the same day I called, but I wasn't able to get home from work to have the work done. They were able to come the next week and the gal that came informed me throughout the process as to what was going on and why. Fast, reliable and now I don't have to think about it anymore. I would hire this company again for any electrical needs.

I called Mike's and spoke to a really nice gentlemen who asked me extensive questions regarding the fan itself and the installation,he said it would be around $239.00 plus a few bucks for parts. They came and while they were here my husband asked them if they could put in a junction box in the bedroom and they said sure and quoted $50.00 for that. This is for an installation on a fan I purchased. I got the bill today 7/22/15 and it is for $575.00, way more than I was quoted, if I had any idea it would be that much we would have done it ourselves. They spent the first 30 minutes reading the directions on my fan to figure out how to install it. They are billing me for Journeyman Labor and also Apprentice Labor, I did not request two people to come out. 7/23/15, called today the Owner, Darryl answered, I explained the huge difference between what I was quoted and the bill I received. I went over the initial call and told him the model number and explained I told that guy info when I was on the phone. I told him I have no problem paying the parts amount for the light/fan switch but I expected my bill to be around $300.00. He said he would talk to the guy who quoted me and call me back. 7/24, Spoke to Darryl again today, hubby and I had him on speakerphone, he explained the extra work that they did while they were here, and we advised it would have been more professional if they had stopped and told us our bill would end up being twice what we were quoted before continuing. Darryl was agreeable and very nice, we ended up paying $425.00 instead of $575.00. We very much appreciate Darryl's cooperation and understanding and the fact he was willing to meet us halfway. I would use them again, but make certain the person who quoted and the worker who came were all on the same page billing wise, before proceeding.

Thanks for your business and your comments. We are all homeowners too, and know how unpleasant surprises like this can be. The work at your home turned out to be more complex than originally described over the phone so the cost ended up being higher than estimated. Nonetheless, it is up to us to prevent surprises like this from happening and we do take full responsibility for it. We appreciate your demeanor in resolving the problem.

Mike's Electric did a terrific job for us. They responded to a semi-emergency situation (one of our smoke sectors was going off and we were not able to reach it to get it to turn off). They arrived promptly and got the smoke detector turned off. We then had them check five other old smoke detectors that were put in by a previous home owner and were out of date. They replaced three of them for us, found the other two only needed new batteries, and took care of those too for us. Some of the detectors were set high in the ceiling in places which as seniors we could not get to. We were very impressed by the guys' professionalism and helpful friendly manner, and will definitely go with Mike's Electric for any future electrical needs.

In both locations, a box had to be installed in the ceiling and wiring run to the box. In addition a switch also had to be installed in the wall to control the fan. Everything was done well. Used an Angies list Big Deal to do the service and the cost did not exceed the coupon. Will use again.

It's fine. It seemed fine. I really didn't follow up with them because I wasn't ready to. There were two things that I really didn't understand on the report but I also wasn't in a position to follow up and clarify. I can't say whether I loved the report or if it was accurate or what. It was a good price. I didn't meet with them personally. Would I use them again, maybe.
