Mike's Electric

The Panasonic bathroom fans are super quiet and efficient and the fluorescent lights are now much brighter and do not flicker. The work was done on time and on budget

I was impressed with their work. They weren’t even scheduled but were able to come out the day that I called. The electrician was extremely knowledgeable; he told me his background in the electrical field and I was impressed. I'm happy with their services overall.

Fantastic! Mike was the original person who came out to the building while on a different job at the clinic. I asked him about this present job at that time. He recommended the re-circulating pump for the water heater to solve our problem. I called him when we were ready to do the work, months later. He remembered me and the 2 electrical panels in the building which he had seen. He was able to tell me if there was enough electricity in the existing panel to do the work over the phone. He sent the appropriate person, Aarron (my favorite). He has taught his employees some of his unique skills. Aarron figured out an even less expensive way given the configuration of existing outlet. What can I say," great job". We need more people in the world who hold such high standards, honesty, and integrity!

They were friendly, scheduled the work quickly, showed up as scheduled, did a great job, cleaned up after themselves, and charged a very reasonable rate for the job. You couldn't ask for more. I highly recommend them.

They were on time. They came out when they said they would and did a good job. We ended up paying a little bit more than the estimate. That's the only complaint I have. Other than that I think they did a really good job. They also passed our inspector’s report.

Both of the electricians arrived right on time. They did a wonderful job of installing the lights and the kitchen has transformed more to a "street of dreams" look with this new lighting. It required them to crawl in the attic above the kitchen to drill the holes and wire the lights. Both my wife and I can't believe how this new lighting makes the kitchen "feel". They were very professional, installed the lights right where we wanted them, and did some consultation on best placement of the lights. They cleaned up the job perfectly and I would highly recommend Mike's Electric! We have used a number of electricians for this house over the last 25 years and Mike's Electric is definately the best.

I got them through Angie’s List’s big deal. They charged me $90 for two hours for the work. They did a great job. I will use them again in the future.

Aaron called a half hour before arriving to say he was on his way and should arrive within the half hour. ..it was 25 minutes when he got here. Very professional. Checked out the fixture, tightened it and was done within 15 minutes.

UPDATE 12/2/2015: I scheduled an appointment nearly a month in advance to have two recessed ceiling lights in an upstairs hallway repaired (one was a light that the Mikes electricians had been asked to repair before but decided not to fix as it appeared intermittent, now it had failed entirely and a second light on the same circuit appeared to be operating at only half power for the first ten minutes after you turned it on, then gradually brightened to full power over about 15 minutes. I was afraid the circuit is faulty and a potential fire hazard). I also asked them to install track lighting in a room downstairs and, if time, give me a ballpark estimate on doing the electrical work on an upcoming master bathroom remodel and moving the laundry room up two floors to the bedroom area. We set a date for December 2 between 10-12AM and I arranged with my employer to take the morning off; it's our busy season at work so vacation days are difficult to come by right now. Generally, Darryl and his crews are very good about calling with updates as to arrivals (and frankly, they typically show up within the first half hour of any window they've set or even a bit early). This morning, though, by 11:50AM I hadn't heard a word from anyone, so I called them and asked for an ETA. I was told they'd check with the electrician and call me right back. By 12:30 I still hadn't gotten a call back so I called them again, and was told that the electrician said she'd left a message (I have my phone with me--it shows no calls). In any case, the electrician was still on the other job at least 20-30 minutes away, and had no ETA yet as to when she would be ready to leave for my job. I had to leave for work at 3:00 at the very latest, so it was pretty clear they wouldn't arrive in time to do much more than the first job on my list...assuming they arrived before I had to leave. So, extremely disappointed, I canceled the appointment, wasting my whole morning and early afternoon. I'm not going to reschedule with Mike's, not after waiting so long for the appointment in the first place, and certainly not after no one bothered to let me know they'd be delayed. I've wasted a vacation day and will need to take a second vacation day to get this work done, or I can choose to pay more if I can find someone who will work on a Saturday. Up till now I've been happy with Mike's--I've used their services a few times--but I'm going to find a different electrician to work these jobs and the remodels I have coming up. I like them, have no real complaints about the quality of work, but I simply don't have the time (or the vacation days) to waste on no-shows. If I'd even gotten a call that the electrician's first job was running long I could have called work and changed plans...but I didn't.

He did a great job. We invited him back more than once to do more work us. He came on time and was courteous and clean. They everything right and I have no complaints.

I liked what I read on Angie's List about Mike's Electric, and I was able to take advantage of a great Angie's List deal as well. Their service did not dissapoint as they were able to tackle several issues that I needed to be addressed. Darrell was the electrcian who came out, and he hustled and really busted his behind to work efficietly to try to accomplish the many tasks was on our list. I would recoomend Mike's to anyone and I've asked them to come back to continue some other work that I needed to get done as well. Great service.

Everythink went just fine. Arrived on time, performed work as detailed with no problems.

This company could not have been easier to work with, from the initial estimating to the final billing. Doug, the estimator gave helpful suggestions but never any high pressure selling. We did not have everything done that we got an estimate for, but this was still a fairly big job. The company did not require a written contract with a lot of legalese on what we finally decided to do, a nice start for our relationship. The lead electrician and his assistant were prompt. They worked hard, quickly, and professionally. Darryl discussed options with us when we asked about adding some work. He explained what he had done at the end of each day and answered our questions or found out the answers, so we now understand the home's electrical system much better. The costs reflected application of Angie's deals (5% off parts and one hour free labor). The whole house surge protector was included at no cost. The extra labor of work that had to be redone was credited on the bill. I guess it is to be expected that unforeseen issues arise, requiring more work than originally estimated. For example, the electrician discovered that the electic water heater wiring was inadequate for the load and had to be replaced with larger wire, thus also requiring replacement of the conduit with a large diameter one. On the plus side, I'm glad he found a potentially dangerous situation that was corrected. Some of the work installing the panel and bathroom wiring caused some plaster to break away, necessitating some wall & ceiling repair, an additional expense to us. They did give us a partial credit for damage they felt they were responsible for, but we ended up having to take care of the accidental breakage due to the condition of the plaster. Every time I called the office I had a positive conversation. They are very accommodating and willing to work with the customer to make things right. Doug the estimator was responsive to any concerns I had. My only suggestion is that the estimating and billing should indicate the actual parts and prices and labor hours, rather than total dollars amounts only. My experience with other contractors is the same...it's apparently not customary to get a detailed breakdown. Although I have no reason to question the provider's honesty, you do have to take it on faith.

We were extremely pleased at the speed with which Mike's Electric responded to our email after we purchased their discount coupon. They replied the next business day and scheduled an appointment for 2 days after that. The repair person arrived on time, restored service to the shorted outlet, and spent the remainder of his 2 hours replacing electrical outlets throughout the house. We appreciate the work done by Mike's Electric and highly recommend them to others needing electrical services.

Doug McCauley came out in late June to talk to us about the scope of work. It took a couple of weeks to get the bid, and then it took more time to arrange a work date. That's the reason for the slight ding in the Responsiveness category. Other than that, Mike's Electric was great to to work with. As stated before, Darrell Michels was very professional.

Really great! The guys were very competent, respectful and speedy. They got right to work, kept themselves out of the way, were flexible when asked to do more work than I'd scheduled for. The office also was knowledgeable, helpful and quick to respond.

It was horrible- I felt taken advantage of by these people and really feel that they did not treat us fairly. We purchased the Angies List deal in good faith and ended up spending way more than we would have if we just had hired someone with no 'deal'. They did not give us an option to decide on the additional costs- just invoiced us afterward. Just all together a bad experience.

Electrition was prepared for all surprises! Did a great job running new wire from electrical pannel under crawl space to new outlet. Identified issues with the dryer we had not known and although attempted to replace a part, dryer needed more repair. A bit expensive, but was willing to answer questions about electrical pannel and wiring for jetted tub.

They arrived on time, completed the projects in record time, cleaned up after themselves and demonstrated knowledge and expertise in their profession. They got down to work immediately. Even though my house is old and "not to current code," they were able to solve a number of problems I have been having. They also gave me recommendations as to future work that I should do. I wanted to see how they did with small projects, so that when I do more, I know whom to call. They seemed fair.

See above. great service. would use again

They were prompt and friendly. They did a very good job.

They are highly professional and efficient. I would recommend them to anyone.

We purchased a new washer/dryer set, only to find that the new high efficiency dryers require a different plug receptacle. We needed to replace the receptacle, and decided to ask for a bid for a new electrical panel at the same time. We had a home remodel done a year ago, and the contractor told us the panel was "just fine" and didn't need replacement. But after the job was done, when the City Electrical Inspector came to inspect, he warned us that the Federal Pacific Panel we had was a hazard (if you're not aware of this, just type in that panel name and start reading (might want to sit down first). We have been planning to replace it, and decided to handle both problems at the same time. We called Mike's and two other suppliers for bids. Mike's returned my call within hours. The next day, he provided a quote for the job, and was able to schedule the installation just a few days later. We wanted it done quickly, since we were unable to use our washer/dryer system until the job was done. One of the other electricians we called was going to schedule us out a few weeks, and the other one never called me back. We felt very comfortable with Mike's responsiveness and professionalism, and saw that their Angie's List rating were top notch, so we awarded them the job. They scheduled the job for two days later, as promised. They arrived on time, came with all the equipment/parts they needed to do the job, and completed it in one day as estimated. Halfway through the day, Darrell asked about how to handle a small access hole he had to make in the wall as part of the installation. He suggested adding another outlet, so we wouldn't have to make sheet rock repairs. He gave me an estimate for the additional cost on the spot and I agreed. He also installed a new circuit with the new GFCI outlet so we would have more "juice" in the garage for power tools. A great solution and an improvement. Mike's also scheduled the city electrical inspection, which went smoothly. Mike's did a clean, quick, and very professional job. They left the job site perfectly clean. There was no evidence they had been their, other than the brand new, tight and clean looking panel that we now have in place. And we no longer worry about losing our newly remodeled house to electrical fire. Thanks Mike's! Before Darrel left, we asked for an estimate on some additional lighting we plan to install in another part of the house. We were very happy with their work and their professionalism. These guys are tops on our list of contractors. Hire them.

Angie's List had a big deal for this company, but the deal ran out. So I called the electrician and he honored the same price even though it was expired. There was a hidden cost for a permit, which I didn't know about. We would have done it anyway, I just thought there should have been some disclosure about that. The quality of the service was excellent. They came when they said they would and did an excellent job.

Arron came out on the job. He was on time and very professional. Listened to what I wanted and followed that exactly, making suggestions where necessary. Before he started he told me about how long it would take and finished under that. He worked continously from start to finish until the job was completed
