He said it would be about a week to get back to me with an estimate. It's been 3 weeks now. I suppose my little projects were not a priority. The guy who came over was very nice and cordial though. It's been so long I forgot his name.
Description of Work: On March 3rd, he came to look at a few things that I needed to get repaired or installed.

Totally unreliable. If your time is valuable don't waste it on Doug Palmer. I took time from a very busy period at work to get some electrical work done in my house and to my surprise the electrician did not show up at the agreed time. This is in spite of the confirmation call that I received from Julie at Doug Palmer the day before. When asked about what happened, I was told that the electrician had another job before mine (although I was scheduled for 8:30am), and that he will only arrive at my place mid-morning. Total waste of my valuable work time. I can understand that schedules change for electricians but not informing customers of such changes as if their time does not matter is utterly unprofessional and disrespectful. I prefer to use my money on a company that values their customers.

Response from DOUG PALMER ELECTRIC LLC
I called the day before and left a voicemail to confirm we would be there mid morning and we would call before we came. If there was any problem with this call me back. [Member Name Removed] called the next morning and was upset because we were not there and asked her if she had gotten my voicemail and she said yes, but calling the day before the appointment wasn't enough notice. I don't know what I could have done to make her happy.

The electrician was friendly and helpful. It ended up costing a bit more than I had expected, but that was because he had to go out to purchase a part that I wouldn't have known I needed.
Description of Work: Replacing a thermostat and repairing a ceiling light that wasn't working.

Went well, the estimated most of day to do the work, and that we would have power back by evening. And we did. They finished on time. I was informed of the work to be done as they went along and why.
Description of Work: Sue to Ice storm, meter was broken , had to be replaced and brought up to code. On/OFF switch was in garage on the other side of the house from meter, and it must be by meter, so it was moved with new wiring, box, etc.

Tracy Payne did the estimating and Jason Gates did the work on a multifaceted job including installing additional outlets and new fixtures and repairing a variety of electrical issues from minor to major. Every aspect of this job was performed at the highest level including the bid and analysis process, timeliness, workmanship and price. We could not be more satisfied with their performance.

On Tuesday morning January 12, I called Doug Palmer Electric to deal with a power outage in my garage. I was told the soonest they could come out was January 18. I agreed to be the first appointment on that day (8:30AM) and was supposedly put a list to be called in case of a cancellation. I was never called. On the morning of January 18 (not coincidently a national holiday ? Martin Luther King Jr), no one showed up for the appointment. At 8:45 I called and again spoke with the owner Julie Ford (she handles the phone and scheduling), and was told at least one guy had called in sick and she had to refer to her schedule. When she called me back, she cheerfully announced a couple of guys were out (remember it?s a national holiday folks) and she was scrambling to get everybody covered. She asked if I would I like to try for another appointment, if so, maybe she could get to me in, in the afternoon. She added, if that doesn?t work just say no. Given I had already waited SIX days and was obviously not even going to get a call regarding this company?s inability to make the scheduled appointment, I declined further contact. I don?t know how you run a business with this degree of sloppiness and I cannot recommend Doug Palmer Electric because of the events explained above

I was so happy with the professional service, Not only were they able to come right away, he was on time and even added an outlet outside in front for me. The price was excellent and I will use them again and refer them to others which I have already done. It is so nice to find people that really care about their work and people that do not over charge! I am happy..
Description of Work: I had to have a new gas water heater installed and to meet code I was told I had to have a new electrical outlet closer to the water heater. I looked on Angie's list and found that DP Electric had good reviews! I talked to Julie and she said she could actually send someone right away! I was thrilled!

They were very prompt and professional in giving an estimate and scheduling the work 2 days later. Dan was very personable, professional and did the work promptly. Everything came out perfectly. We would not hesitate to recommend or use them again. A plus would be if Dan would do the work. He was great!
Description of Work: We had 4 electrical plugs added to the floor in the center of our living room which necessitated adding lines under the house from an existing outlet.

The repair man was named Dan and was very thorough and courteous. The charge included labor and parts for the wall switch and entire fluorescent fixture under the Jenn Air range hood. It even matched with silver trim as the Jenn Air has, so I was thrilled. I would definitely recommend Doug Palmer Electrical to anyone who needs affordable and fast electrical repairs.

Dan and Julie were great. After taking time off work only to have another electrician cancel last minute, I called Doug Palmer Electric on the offhand chance they could fit me in on the same day. Julie answered promptly and informed me that they had an opening that afternoon. Dan arrived a few hours later at the specified time. Dan was both friendly and knowledgeable. He installed several three way switches for me and helped troubleshoot one switch that wasn't working properly. Turns out the switch I had purchased from a third party vendor was bad. Dan?s troubleshooting helped me identify this issue and get a replacement. Overall the experience was excellent. Prompt, knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. Really couldn't ask for more.
Description of Work: Installed several sets of 3 way switches and troubleshoot wiring.

The electrician, Dan, was on time for his 8 am appt. He was friendly and professional. He systematically narrowed down the source of the problem which turned out to be a bad receptacle. He replaced that, and then rewired part of the circuit he said was not done correctly before. He was out in just over an hour to my great relief that the power was on as my ears were numbing over from all my wife's whining about having to shower in the dark, etc. etc. etc. I will definitely call them again!
Description of Work: I had an "open neutral" fault that kept blowing my GFCI circuit, which I had spent four day pulling out receptacles and fixtures, and crawling around the attic looking for bad connections in junction boxes etc. before realizing this was just beyond my scope. I researched Angie's list and saw that the previous reviews of Doug Palmer for this type of problem were within my budget range, so I made an appt. The electrician, Dan, was on time for his 8 am appt. He was friendly and professional.

When I first contacted the company it was after hours but they were able to get something set up for me anyway. Because I work long hours 6 days/week it is often difficult for me to get stuff done during normal business hours. But I spoke with a live person and was able to set up an appointment for the installation of electric for a automatic gate. After getting the electric problem solved, Charlie then proceeded to help my husband troubleshoot the entire installation of the gate. He came back 3 times to make sure everything was going OK, and didn't even charge for the final visit, where he helped program an additional remote and get the gate to function completely correctly. Cost me about $750. Home Depot wanted to charge me $1500 for the same work. So I called him again to replace a thermostat inside the house. He discovered that I have an obsolete form of thermostat that cannot be replaced except with a special version of the equipment. He scouted out the right equipment, procured it, and installed it, which required another 20 minute call to the company because their documentation was incorrect for this old-style wiring. Labor cost was less than $90. I would strongly recommend this person, and would hire him again in an instant.

I had some major renovations done to my home two years ago.I didn't work directly with Mr. Palmer since he worked as a subcontractor to the contractor (Wilson Homes) for this job.I have, however, heard consistently high reviews of Mr. Palmers' work. I would use him again for any future electrical work that I have done.
