I am surprised and disappointed that I was told that they didn’t do appliance repairs.
Description of Work: My electric glass cooktop stopped operating. I called to have it looked at and was told Dad's doesn’t do appliances although my garbage disposal stopped working and I called Dad's and they came and got it running again.

Mike did an excellent job! His work is fantastic. He also kept all areas clean and neat during his workdays, and when he left each day. We are extremely pleased with Dad's Electric, and will definitely use him for future electrical projects.
Description of Work: When we had our basement finished in 2017, we had Dad's Electric do all the wiring and installation for the recessed lighting, pendant lighting, and electrical outlets. He did this for the finished basement living area, bar area, and bathroom. Mike was fantastic! He was very professional and very knowledgable on the newest types of lighting. Mike also did all the cable wiring, and installed the wall mounts for the televisions, and ensured everything worked properly. We asked Mike for recommendations on a lighting system supported by iPhone/iPad applications, so we can have the option to control the lights from an app. Mike found the perfect system for our home.

Mike was awesome! Very easy to plan and communicate with. Super friendly and upfront about cost (unknown cause is almost impossible to give an exact estimate). Work was done quickly and thoroughly. Very knowledgeable about common electrical issues with homes in the Downingtown area. I got a quote to have an outside outlet installed prior to him leaving. Will definitely be using him again and HIGHLY recommended!
Description of Work: Outlet had stopped working without identifiable cause. Tried DIY but needed a pro.

He knew exactly how to troubleshoot and located the problem within a couple of minutes. He was friendly and kind and responded quickly to our call.
Description of Work: We had a GFCI outlet trip in our home and did our own troubleshooting but couldn't figure out where the trip was. Dad's came in and figured it out within just a few minutes and had us up and running after changing the problematic outdoor receptacle.

We tried to rewire new kitchen pendant lights on our own. We messed up the wiring and blew out the light switch. Time to call a professional. Mike came the same day we called and was very friendly and professional. We would definitely use him again.

I had an issue with a faulty GFi/loose wiring in our kitchen. I called Dad's Electric and Mike was out the next day to fix the problem. He was friendly and quickly diagnosed and replaced the GFI. Excellent service and we plan on using Dad's Electric in the future.

I had a weak breaker in the panel which would trip causing my heater to shut off. I contacted Mike and he responded quickly and fit me in the same day. He found the breaker had melted and fused to the box which needed to be replaced. His price was very reasonable and he had the job done in no time. I am always happy to find and support local small businesses and I've added Dad's Electric for any future electricial needs. Great service, top notch work and a decent price. Thanks, Mike!

Mike was very responsive to my asking for an estimate; I think he came to my house the next day, which was a Friday. Mike said that he would have an estimate to me sometime that weekend but he didn't. I was okay with him forgetting or being too busy to get to it, but I called him on the following Monday and left a message; I have yet to hear from him and have since had a recommendable electrician take care of my needs.
Description of Work: He showed up to assess the work, that was the last I heard from him.

I emailed Mike with a detailed description of the work I wanted performed from the Angie's list website. I was contacted the following day and we scheduled an appointment for 8 AM two days later. Mike showed up on time and provided his license information and I walked him through the project and he provided a quote on the spot. Since I had provided what type of timer switch I was looking for Mike had one in the truck we agreed upon the price and he installed the lights that morning. He was finished by 9:30 and walked me through the operation of programming the timer switch and everything was cleaned up. It was a very good experience and will use Mike again for any future electrical projects. I recommend this company to my friends and neighbors.
Description of Work: Mike replaced the wall switch to my outdoor garage lights with a programmable timer switch and rewired the the light from the garage peak and installed and wired light fixtures above each of the garage doors. He provided the switch I provided the two light fixtures.

After an initial visit by a sub for my home warranty who alleged the short was in between studs in the wall and estimated 7-800 dollars of work, I contacted Dad's through Angies list. "Dad" responded within 24 hours and detected a loose wire on one interior outlet within 10 minute of his arrival. 10 minutes all outlets were working again. Charge was 75 bucks but I gave him 100. Honesty and excellence describe Dads.
Description of Work: Located and fixed open ground that shorted approximatly 10 outlets on 2nd floor.

My husband called Dad's Electric to make an appointment to have a ceiling fan installed in our family room , when he called he spoke to Mike there , my husband told Mike we have an 18' ceiling , Mike said he would have to Rent a ladder to do the job because he does not own one that tall .My husband asked about a price but Mike said he would not know till he got to the house. Mike also said he was booked and would not be able to come out for three weeks . We thought about the time and said ok to him. Well the day came for the appointment it was for 1:00 PM I took the day off from work too be here. Well by 2:00 he had NOT shown up or called.. so I called the office got a voice mail so I left a message , again by 4:00 Nothing ! The next day my husband called again and had to leave a message , Mike never showed up and did not even have the courtesy to return our calls . We never heard from Mike at all and I lost a day's pay from work too.. Very unhappy about the whole thing .We picked him because we read some reviews . All I can say is consumer beware !!!
Description of Work: NOTHING- he never showed up for the appointment and he never returned our calls

Mike replaced what needed replacing, updated the other problem outlets and everything was normal again! He was on time, nice, dealt with my sleepy teenage son very well and charged me less than 100.00 bucks! Thanks again Mike! Marnie
Description of Work: I had an entire room with no electric and a few outlets had some burn markings on them. I thought I was looking at being told that we needed a new system or that we had a huge problem. Mike checked everything out very thoroughly and relieved me a lot when he said that it was just an outlet that wasn't working properly in my son's room.

I needed to replace an existing kitchen ceiling fan. He lives around the corner, and he is in Angie's List, so I gave him a call. Being the holiday week, he squeezed me in on a Saturday morning so I could be home for him. He covered everything up so you wouldn't even know he had to cut into the ceiling to put in a proper box(you never know what you'll find in Victoria Crossing homes...). After he was done, I asked him to split a bedroom outlet. Cost was just as estimated.Will definitely use Dad again.

I hired Dads Electric to install an exterior outlet. It was a 10 foot run from the circuit panel. He was prompt, clean, and very reasonable in price. I will be calling him next time I have an electrical need/problem.

I was impressed with Mike's professionalism and courtesy from his initial visit for the estimate all the way through until the job was done. He was at my home at the time and date agreed and was always very punctual in returning my calls. The estimate provided was what I was charged even though I felt that the job probably took longer than Mike had anticipated. I would, without hesitation use Mike (Dad's Electric) again and would recommend him to anyone in need of an electrician.

i was thrilled with my experience. mike got back to me immediately and suggested he come after work that day so i didn't have to take time off work. showed up on time, with his son in tow (which was nice to see), and did a great job. was very friendly and charged me half of what another local company quoted. he also replaced the bulbs in a difficult-to-get-to overhead light in the room, which he tried to do at no cost. it's good to know guys like him are still out there, making an honest living and not gouging people on small jobs. he is now my electrician.

I don't trust many people when it comes to working with electricity in my home. However, I decided to give Dad's Electric a try and I'm so glad I did! Michael was prompt in returning my phone call. He was at my house quickly to give an estimate. His prices are more than reasonable and he was on time the morning we agreed the work would be done. The work he does is fantastic and he freely answers any questions you may have. Michael completes all work in a timely manner and doesn't leave a mess when he's through. I wouldn't trust anyone else to do anything electrical in my home! Do yourself a favor and hire Dad's Electric!
Description of Work: Replaced countless ground faults and basic electrical outlets. Installed 2 ceiling fans in bedrooms that had no prior fan or light fixture. Installed 2 outdoor outlets. Will be using Dad's Electric to install 3rd ceiling fan in LR (also has no prior ceiling fixture.)

Michael called us upon the receipt of our email, and had a quote to us a few days later. We scheduled the work, and Michael arrived as scheduled and completed the work as agreed. He even helped us install a fluorescent lighting fixture, and provided suggestions to improve our original plans at no extra cost. This is the second time we used Dads Electric and will use them going forward for all electrical work
