Description of Work: Solid Ground (now "Axis electric") brought my garage wiring up to code for a house sale. They put all the exposed romex into conduit, added new plugs, installed GCFI's and lighting. The whole experience was perfect - I would definitely use them again.

Description of Work: Problem with hot tub outlet. Solid Ground had installed it. The technician insisted it was their fault (not sure about that!) so they didn't charge me. I will definitely call Solid Ground whenever I need electrical repairs.

My and quot;amount spentand quot; is a guess, as I don't remember and don't want to dig out paperwork this minute. However, I had expected the bill to be more and opened the envelope with trepidation (but was pleasantly surprised). The original call was for a circuit breaker issue that was affecting the stove/oven in the kitchen. I waited a week for the first opening, which was too long (but similar to other companies I had called). When the electrician arrived, on time exactly as scheduled, he was a bit chagrined that I had had to wait so long made it sound as if he might have been able to come sooner if he had known that we weren't eating (exaggeration). While he was here, we asked him for estimates for two other (nonessential jobs). He gave those to us verbally, taking photographs for his records, etc. He was very patient with us and explained things for non-electrician ears. We recently have asked for those same quotes in a more formal manner, as we fully intend to have Solid Ground back to do the work.
Description of Work: Dead (or dying) individual circuit breaker changed out; estimates given.

Very happy with the service on the phone and in person. They were prompt, courteous, and professional. The estimate for the job was approximately what I expected and the final bill was a few dollars less. They did all of the coordination with the power company. I was very happy overall and I would definitely recommend them to a friend and use them again in the future.
Description of Work: Installation of a new electrical panel to replace a damaged one. Upgrade to a larger panel with more breakers.

Its not their fault but they must come from quite far away and we usually have to wait until someone else in the area is also requiring a service to get them scheduled. The fellow who comes is very nice and very professional but it is expensive since they must travel. We would prefer to have a regular, perhaps quarterly, check in with them to make sure the generator is in tip top shape but once the installation was complete they respond only to problem calls.
Description of Work: This is the company that services our generator.

No complaints. While he arrived about 10 minutes after the scheduled window, I work from home and this wasn't a problem. The overall visit took about 30 minutes.
Description of Work: I called for an electrician to check out an outlet that had been making an odd whining noise for awhile. The electrician couldn't find anything wrong, and we agreed the best course of action would be for him to replace the outlet. Knowing this job would only take 5-10 minutes, and that there are minimum service charges, I had him install two GFCI outlets in my bathrooms. These were already wired as GFCI but not having the TEST/RESET outlets themselves.

They were incredibly responsive from the first phone call I made to them. They came out on an agreed upon day, and wrote an estimate up for me that day, which they then emailed to me. Today, the workman was here when he said he would be, and it didn't take him hardly any time at all. Very nice, very professional. The work looks great, the plugs work just fine, and I'm very happy!
Description of Work: I needed a new outlet put into a wall that didn't have an outlet on it; plus needed a kitchen outlet updated to a GFCI (from a two prong hole to a three prong hole.)

The only thing I didn’t like about them is that the first time I had them out, they didn’t tell me that they had a first hour charge that is quite a bit more than the hourly charge. They took care of it that time after I called them and they haven’t charged me for it every time I’ve had them out since. The second guy I had out was very quick and no nonsense which is good because they charge by the hour.

Response from Solid Ground Electric
Solid Ground Electric has changed their way of charging for service calls. They no longer charge more for the first hour out. They charge a set hourly rate, port to port for the journeyman and truck. If an apprentice is needed on the job, there is an additional charge for the apprentice.

The two electricians arrived on-time and went right to work. No nonsense, professional workers. The job took two hours plus travel time. I already have another wiring job in mind and will go directly to Solid Ground.
Description of Work: Split a single basement circuit into three separate circuits. One overhead lighting circuit was installed with a three way switch. Hid some existing exposed wiring.

I got a quote, they were mid-range in price, and set a time for the job. They came right on time, had the right equipment to get up to our very high ceiling and did a great job. I'd use them again without hesitation.

They showed up a little late but they called and let us know they were behind schedule. The main job was done quickly and professionally. The original electrician wasn't able to do the well re-wiring as it was too complex for him. The second electrician didn't come with the correct part, which was my fault. I'm an electrical engineer and I told him he would need a DPDT switch but I wasn't thinking about the power being two phase so they needed either a QPDT switch (which are very rare) or a DPDT and a DPST switch. That is all fine but since then, they have sent two more electricians without the correct switch. Fortunately they have only billed me for more than the breaker panel and outlets. Update: I got the final bill, it didn't include the well switch hardware but they haven't scheduled an appt. for installing it. That was the main reason for the project. They won't be doing my barn as I stated before.
Description of Work: They replaced the breaker panel, wired in a few of outlets & a couple of smoke detectors, and started re-wiring the well pump circuit.
