he was on time, professional and reasonably priced but ultimately we decide not get the work done at all with any contractor.

It didn't go well. It then turned out that he knew the electrician that installed the lights incorrectly and wrote a false letter on his behalf. It was shady. We asked for a refund, since he did not solve the problem. He stated that he would not give a refund, "went above and beyond" and "no longer wanted to deal with our issue". I would think twice about hiring an electrician who needs a $125.00 that badly.
Description of Work: We hired after messaging him in detail that we had flickering lights installed incorrectly by another electrician. He came out, told us to call PP&L, left, and charged us $125.oo .

Response from Rinker Inc. Generator, Ductless, Electrical
There was an issue with the LED bulbs and dimmers that were installed by the previous electrician, that was not his fault either. It was fully explained, and we did our best to research and resolve the issue. The time we put into it was well worth the $125.00. Then they tried to nail the other electrician to the wall for something that was not his fault, so yes I wrote a letter in his behalf to the party who was requesting it for him. As is evidenced by the other reviews of ours on this site, this customer was not accurate in leaving the rating that she did.

It turned out very well. They are a great company. They charged me for the materials. Their customer service is great. The sent me a thank you card today and a magnet for the refrigerator. They are very polite and the worker cleaned everything up and covered his shoes before he walked on my carpets. They were outstanding. His prices on the materials were right in line.

BR Electric was very professional. We called and left a message. They immediately returned our phone call and scheduled a day/time for an estimate. They were on time as promised. They arrived on time and completed the work as scheduled. We were extremely satisfied. All the staff we had contact with were professional, on time, and courteous. The quote original given was the exact price in the end. No hidden costs! It was seamless, easy and we will definitely be a repeat customer for work we want done in the spring!

I don't understand why this would merit a review at all. If I don't service your area, I'm sorry. Please don't post a negative review. How can you review something you have not experienced?

They were absolutely outstanding. They came right down within a day to check the job out. The very next day, I had a quote on their official letterhead. They were very timely in the work. They came down and did it within a couple of hours. The price was very fair. There were some things that were still wrong after they got done. I called them up and they came right back and fixed it with no extra charge.

The three electricians who did the job were terrific. They arrived early, solved all of problems that wiring an old house presented and got the job done, pleasantly and with no complaints. With the exception of one hole in the walls downstairs that was absolutely necessary, only a little touch up paint will be needed. They paid particular attention to not tracking in dirt and clean up as they worked. We're very,very pleased and would recommend them highly and without reservation!.
Description of Work: Rewired the downstairs of our 1920's home. Replaced tube & knob wiring in the walls and took particular care to find a solution for us to be able to keep our antique sconces. All outlets were rewired through the walls and replaced, as well as 7 sconces and 3 ceiling lights and switches.

I dealt with Devon from the Ben Rinker Elec. he was very professional, very knowledgeable and it was a great pleasure dealing with him. The work was performed over 2 day and was completed satisfactorily. the guys cleaned up very well you wouldnt be able to tell that that any work was just done. I had baseboard heating put in all bedrooms (4), and the Dinning room/reading room (2). the baseboards have worked efficiently and effectively. I would not hesitate to use Ben Rinker again.
Description of Work: I had 6 electric baseboard heaters with thermostats installed.

Please note that this provider is no longer taking on new clients, other than for Generator work. Apparently, they are changing their business. Also, while this site mentions Saturday hours, I was informed they work M-F. They did refer me to another provider who might be able to assist and I am waiting for a callback. I would not give them a C rating, as I cannot evaluate the work. This website forced me to enter a grade.
Description of Work: I had requested an electrician to install a new breaker box and work on outdoor lighting. No work was done as the provider informed me that they are not taking on new clients other than for generator work.

My experience with Ben Rinker Electrical Contracting was really good. He did his survey, gave us a very reasonable quote and answered all of our questions. He even informed us what will work best for us rather than just write an estimate for whatever. He and his workers were very polite.

I called Ben Rinker for a price on the work that I needed done. Devin returned my call in a timely fashion and we set up a time to look over the job. He arrived early and was good about clarifying what I wanted and offering his professional opinion as to how to be cost effective in the changes I requested. He needed time to provide the quote and determine when it could be scheduled but gave me a rough idea on site. I got my quote and scheduled within a day when he got back to me. Devin has always been great about getting back to me within 24 hours of when I leave a message. On the day of the work the guys showed up and took the initiative to begin working as agreed upon when I was unable to be there for the start. They steadily worked all day and completed the work in a timely fashion. They apologized to me about tracking some mud from the parking area which was only a minor issue for me. The work was performed slightly different from agreed but after a phone call to Devin, they came back the next day and immediately corrected the differences to what I had clarified. In totall, there were 2 minor issues that were resolved for me because of the professional way Devin handled everything. For me, there has been a relationship of trust built there because of this professionalism. I would recommend them to anyone as a reasonable company who will work with you.

Ben explained to me that his workers would show up around 7:30 and it would take most of the day to complete the job. The guys were at my home until 3:30 in the afternoon. The great thing was i was only without power for a couple of hours. No more then 3 until they were able to get power back and continue to work with other things they needed to do to complete the job. When they were done, they cleaned up after themselves, didn't even leave a screw behind! Great work guys!
Description of Work: I called to schedule an estimate and Ben, the owner of the company, was very polite on the phone. I do not know much about electrical, and Ben did not make me feel like an idiot. He explained everything in detail to me. I work at a home improvement store and was able to get a lot of the materials at my employee discount, so all i needed was labor to install a new 200A panel box inside and the line that runs outside my home up to the weather head.

Estimate was given with a walk tru of the home and observations of areas of concern. The home is in decent shape but some of the registers were ailing in appearance and care for heat, switches were loose from use, several outlets did not work and the garage service was underwhelming (extension cord to run the garage door etc.). Within 2 days the estimate was ready for review and we agreed to terms very quickly. No sales job or push items added, just honest concerns to think about like when to replace house service. The tandem of service folks arrived on time and on the date agreed, was an hour late due to bad roads but called in advance to ensure that would be ok. Love the fact that they treated home like theirs, no mess not picked up, TOOK SHOES off without asking please. Work was completed in a day and satisfaction confirmed on each item before leaving. Under estimate by $50.00 dollars and no follow up. List was ~10 items of fixes and upgrades.

I purchased a new hot tub and needed to have a dedicated electrical line run from the basement to the hot tub which is on an exterior deck. I first contacted the company by their website and received a call back from Mr Rinker that very same day. We arranged a time for an estimate and he came promptly, exactly when arranged. I received an estimate promptly. When it came time to arrange for the actual work to be done...it took a few phone calls before I got a response, but with some persistence they called me to schedule the job. They came exactly when expected, were polite and the work was done quickly and professionally. Received an invoice via email the next day for the price as expected per the estimate. Overalll I would use them again. I think like many service companies they are busy and sometimes don't get back to you right away, so you have to be persistent.
