0 stars! Do NOT use this electrician! He is rude and dismissive but charges an inordinate amount without producing quality. Bob and company (I.e., his receptionist) are the absolute rudest contracting org we have ever encountered. We scheduled a service call with Bob for 3 services: 1) to repair a chandelier lift, 2) to install a new chandelier and 3) to install a ceiling fan in place of ceiling light. He came in with an attitude like he did not want to do the job. My husband had been in touch with the manufacturer of the lift and had ordered the replacement part myself. When he tried to explain the background on the lift motherboard, Bob was uninterested and rushed me through the instructions. However, he did not waste any time warning us that he would be charging extra for any trouble-shooting. In the end, he did not hook up the motherboard correctly. We had to have another electrician come to fix his errors. Given his attitude, we did not ask him to complete the chandelier. It was large and complex - so clearly he wanted nothing to do with it. The ceiling fan was a simple change because we already had a ceiling fan guard. This was the only thing he completed. To top it off, when my husband called to let his office know he charged us for doing the job incorrectly (request a partial refund), Tracey began screaming at him, blaming him saying we messed with the motherboard! My husband was patient, spoke calmly, and tried to explain why we should not be charged for the bad job (note we were willing to pay the service fee and work for the fan), she hung up on him! If you expect to pay for a service that is correct, complete and done with respect, Bob from Lehigh Valley Electric is not your electrician.
Description of Work: Install ceiling fan. The remaining 2 jobs were done incorrectly or not done at all.

Response from Lehigh Valley Electric Inc
We are saddened to read this review as you’ve been a valued customer since 2016. While things did not go as you had hoped, I’d like to add some clarity to the situation. We do not repair fixtures, nor do we install two story chandeliers. After many calls to us, as a courtesy, we assisted in helping you locate the manufacturer of your chandelier lift and recommended you contact them directly to see if they could assist with your issue. They sent you a replacement motherboard free of charge. When [Member Name Removed] was not successful in replacing the motherboard, you reached out to us, again, to see if we could help. We, again, advised you that we do not perform that service. Two months later, [Member Name Removed] called to schedule an appointment to replace a ceiling fan. When Bob arrived to install the ceiling fan, he was faced with the chandelier lift on the foyer floor and a large chandelier box. Once again, [Member Name Removed] asked Bob if he would look at the chandelier lift. He also asked if he would hang the new chandelier. [Member Name Removed] would not take no for an answer. Bob, agreed to look at the lift and quickly determined that the chandelier was too heavy for their lift. Bob recommended they call an electrician who could fix the lift and hang a properly sized chandelier at the same time. In the end, the issue was not the motherboard. Bob spent nearly three hours on this task. He reached out to the manufacturer, sent them pictures and everything was done correctly. The manufacturer asked Bob to do some additional troubleshooting. [Member Name Removed] did not want to continue with additional troubleshooting because he had already done troubleshooting on his own. [Member Name Removed] signed off that the work was completed to his satisfaction and at no time did anyone ever ask for a refund. We stand behind our workmanship and offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Safety is our number one priority! We are literally shocked that someone installed a 600 lb. chandelier on a lift that could hold a maximum weight of 300 lbs. We are deeply concerned for your safety.

My wife and I have had Bob Holland do thousands of dollars worth of electrical work in the past. So I was surprised he was charging $59.00 just to come out and give us an estimate on installing a heater in my garage. We have never had Bob come out for an estimate and not give him the job. So I asked his wife if the $59.00 would go toward the job if he was hired. She said yes. I was still a little put off about the money but made an appointment for him to come out agreeing to pay the $59.00. Bob came out and was about to leave and asked how I wanted to pay the $59.00 and I said check. I went in to write the check and my wife wanted me to tell him we were a little offended about having to pay the $59.00. I proceeded to hand him the check and said my wife was upset about the money after having him do over $20,000.00 worth of work in the past. He said nothing, handed the check back to me and left in anger. Very unprofessional and immature on his part. We thought maybe he would call to apologize, Nothing. Needless to say I would never call Lehigh Valley Electric again. We thought Bob was not only our go to electrician but a friend. Obviously not.

This is the 2nd or 3rd time I've used them. My sister uses them. My sons uses them. They did some work last fall and then again in late winter, early spring. Once again, straight A's. I don't call them back the 2nd or 3rd time, unless I'm very pleased. Obviously, since I just did it for the 2nd and 3rd time, yes, I would use them again. Matter of fact, I'm contemplating calling them again because I have some other work I want them to do.

Paid $40 to get a ridiculously high estimate. When I questioned the price (over $700 for the ceiling fan/switch installation alone), was told that it was standard pricing and that it's expensive to run a contracting business. Contacted another electrician and had the work done for about 1/3 of what LV Electrical wanted. I'm sure they do quality work, but I can't see a ceiling fan install only takes a few hours. Guess their "standard rates" are around $200/hr since the contractor I used had 2 men do the job in 2 hours.

He is a top notch contractor. Fair prices, always on schedule, pleasant to deal with and has always done excellent work for us. The inspection was very thorough. We will follow up with corrections he suggested at a future visit.. Bob always meets our expectations. Highly recommended.

Getting an initial estimate was easy. Bob even came out to evaluate the job on Christmas Eve. Throughout the process, all communication was handled very professionally and promptly. For those to whom it's important: Bob works in the 21st century with email and SMS, in addition to more traditional phone calls. Scheduling was very flexible, adjusting to dates and times that were best for me. Additionally, Bob was always prompt, arriving at the agreed time. The work performed was of the utmost quality. I'm a perfectionist, and it's the little things that really bug me, but it seems that Bob is as well. Everything on this job was done right, and when something wasn't quite right, like the parts house shipping the wrong cover for one of the panels, it was fixed without my even having to mention it, even though he could have forced the wrong cover to serve the purpose. Lastly, on personality, I found Bob very easy to talk to, courteous, professional, and knowledgeable. I have no regrets about this job, and I'll definitely go back to Lehigh Valley Electric for my future needs.

This was a great experience. My wife and I bought a house that was built in 1949 so there were a lot of little projects and fixes previous owners did over the years that made things a bit confusing. If I were to have tried to have done with the professionals did, it would have likely lasted a full weekend and caused a few arguments. Highly recommend this company.

Work was done very professionally and thoroughly. Our plan was reviewed and modification were suggested and implemented. Explanations were clear. We were fit in between other jobs which slowed down the installation; however, our service was never interrupted. Cleanliness was very good and no mess was left on days of work or when the job was completed.

They were here twice. Once to do the inspection and again to do some of the repairs arising from the inspection. Overall the work was pretty well-done. Something that was done had to be redone later by another provider. Communication was good and the findings of the inspection was sent by email and in US mail. I think it was an issue of attitude that made me a bit uncomfortable.

They were easy to get a hold of and easy to communicate with. They came to our home, inspected our current electrical panel, and explained everything necessary to bring everything up-to-date. LV Electric showed up on time for the days we scheduled the work. Everything was completed on time and on budget. They'll be the first people we contact next time we need electrical work done.

I originally found Lehigh Valley Electric on Angie's List. I've always been very impressed with them so when we needed a digital timer installed then I emailed the owner of the business, Bob Holland, to set up an appointment. He emailed soon thereafter. He called me to ask some questions about exactly what I would need the device to do, since there are many options for this. He has always gone above and beyond and this time was no exception. After asking for the specifics, he ordered the one that turned out to be perfect for our needs. They showed up right on time and he and John, Bob's apprentice, got right to work installing it. They always put down a protective covering over the work area. They were very careful when carrying the tools around our home so that nothing would touch the walls or furnishings. Bob programmed the device for us after installing it. Bob then set our garage door electronics. Bob and John worked very well together to provide excellent service. I would highly recommend Lehigh Valley Electric. They are always exceptionally knowledgeable, polite, thorough, tidy, professional, and punctual. Additionally, Bob always very patiently listens to me and answers all of my questions. His prices are very reasonable, so much so that I find myself not even asking for an estimate from him. We will definitely call Bob for all future electrical issues.
