Ruth bid the job and performed the work. I can't say enough about how well this job went. She and her assistant were polite, on-time, and hard working. A+++++ job!! Wil deffinetly use Electric Man for all future electrical needs. Wife and I decided to eliminate the cable bill and take advantage of the free HD over the air channels. Once the job was finished my brother and I installed an antenna in the attic. Hooked it up and voila. Everything worked perfectly.
Description of Work: Rewired wall switches to control fans/fan lighting in 4 rooms. Eliminated those wall switches from controlling a respective outlet. Installed an AC outlet in attic and ran RG6 from attic to office in support of an over the air antenna installation.

Ron and Jeroen were prompt, courteous, and very helpful with our power outage. They explained beforehand what they expected to do, completed their work, and even contacted PECO when it turned out to be their transformer, not my circuit breakers. I've now found an electrician that I'll call that I can trust in the future. Thank you both!

Overall, it went well. The technician arrived on time. He explained what he would be doing and he did do a good job. I was just taken aback by the steep price, but I needed my light post fixed because it had been lying on my grass broken for about a year.
Description of Work: I purchased the coupon thinking I could get my outside light post fixed. After it was all said & done, in addition to the $99 I already spent for $200 worth or work, i had to pay an additional $500 - just to replace an outside light post. The technician was nice enough & the work was done well; but I did not expect to pay $600 for it.

I saw the Electric Man deal, called them, and they came 1-2 days later--on the day that I requested!! I was impressed! Their price is a bit on the high side, especially for one outlet. If I couldn't take advantage of the Angie's List deal, I would not have used them. However, Rob was an excellent worker. His professionalism and quality of work was great! I even had a good time talking to him about "non-electrical" things, such as Eagles football! Great guy! I will use Electric Man again (probably only through AL deals), and will refer them to my family and friends!!
Description of Work: I needed an electrical outlet for a gas stove that I purchased, which had an electrical igniter. My kitchen outlets were not close enough for the short stove cord. So, Electric Man installed a new outlet behind the stove.

See above where I spilled my guts.
Description of Work: We had a circuit breaker blow out and could not be reset; Mr Electric came out that afternoon when I said tomorrow would not do; the initial diagnosis fee seemed a little steep, but covered everything, and was a real bargain in the end, I think. If we had called them a year ago we would have possibly saved many service calls we have made this past year. We bought the house a year ago and have had recurrent problems with breakers blowing arbitrarily. We have had another providers who has run new lines, etc. that did not fully fix the problems, which kept happening on different lines; Ronald Merker from Electric Man opened our box and immediately saw the burned out wire that had caused the immediate problem and also noticed that the negative wires in the box were not connected individually, as they should be, but were all grouped on one or just a few screws (I think our inspector missed this one). So he connected all the negatives from each breaker to its own screw and replaced the burnt out wire (and another with some burning) all for the diagnostic fee. He was gone in less than an hour and may well have fixed problems we have been experiencing for a year. That remains to be seen, but I suspect this did the job. I will call them first from now on. Nice guy, clean, thoughtful manner.; told us we had rust in the box (we knew that) we need to work on, and maybe will in the course of planned renovations, for which I will insist on Electric Mad as subcontractor, and will pay more if needed, to be sure the job is done right.

I called the company to make an appointment to have an outlet installed (to replace the hard wired line) for a new stove that I had ordered. The receptionist/scheduler was friendly and set up the appointment. I am a single woman, living alone, and normally prefer word-of-mouth recommendations because I am not always comfortable with strangers in my house. This appointment was my first using Angie's list, and I was extremely comfortable with the electrician's presence in my house. The electrician arrived promptly and worked efficiently and professionally. The new outlet looks beautiful, and the stove delivery and installation several days later went smoothly. I would recommend this electrical company to anyone.

When he came out, he decided that the outlet I wanted installed was not worth the $200 the coupon claimed the service was worth. He claimed that the the area of the house would require the cost to increase up to $400-500. I ended up saying forget it and just had him do repairs to my ceiling fan. I purchased the Big Deal specifically to have a new outlet installed, which the coupon said he would do.

Response from Electric Man LLC
We don't often respond to these comments as there are often job specific matters between us and the customer that are hard to address without divulging private issues or risk becoming defensive. However, what is discussed here is a matter of written and public record. The coupon in question is $200 worth of electrical work for $99. This coupon can be applied to ceiling fan installs, lighting and installing outlets (or any other service we provide). The coupon is not a commitment Electric Man will provide an outlet installed for $200. We learned many years ago that it is not possible to give a price on a job without seeing the job first. Indeed, we will not give a price over the telephone for this reason - we have one set of expectations when we give an estimate get to the job location and find something very different. Somebody always feels duped when this occurs. Electric Man's process is we will come to your home, review the work, and provide several options to you. We will give you a firm quotation upfront - we will tell you to the penny what the work will cost. If you chose to proceed with the work, the price at the end of the job will be EXACTLY the same as what we quoted in the beginning - no surprise! You will never hear "Oh, the bill is higher because of X, Y, or Z". Also, please note I said up front pricing. We give these firm quotations before any work ever begins. We make sure each customer has the opportunity to consider the value of what is being offered and make up his or her own mind as to whether to proceed. If you chose not to use us, we will facilitate you get your money back from Angie's List for the coupon so there is zero risk to our customers. Unfortunately while not every person tells us to proceed, what I can say from experience is that for each of the last three years running 8 in 10 people accept our proposal. Your friends, neighbors, and co-workers overwhelming use Electric Man, and for that I am profoundly grateful. Thank you for reading this response.

The advertised price for the deal was $99. The electrician did not have all the parts needed on the truck and was going to charge me another $75 to go get them . Instead, I went to Lowe's and got the parts myself for a third of the cost! The work was done right and very professional but I should not have to go get parts or get charged for a trip to the hardware store just because the parts were not on the truck.

Jed from Electric Man was very responsive when we first called to get some lighting installed. He checked over some electrical issues that came up when we had our inspection before recently buying our house, and made the necessary fixes. He explained what he was going to do, when he was going to do it, and what it would cost ahead of time, and took the time to answer my numerous questions. The work was very clean and precise, and from the time I called him to the time we were done doing business, it might have been a week. I will definitely be calling him again when we need to redo lighting in some other rooms.
Description of Work: Installation of recessed lighting in two rooms, installation of cable jack, and fixing improper wiring in breaker panel.

I purchased an Angie's List deal, and they were able to schedule my appointment within a week of when I called. Ruth arrived promptly and put on paper booties before entering the house. I explained everything I needed done, and we went around to each fixture. Ruth noticed problems that neither my original home inspector nor an electrician I hired to do some work 3 years ago had noticed. She thoroughly explained issues and options. Ruth wrote up the quote, I agreed to it, and she got to work the same afternoon. Electricman uses flat-rate pricing, so they're probably more expensive than other places, but for houses like mine, where some problem always arises, it probably works out better for the homeowner. They charge the quoted price (from a rate book) regardless of how long it actually takes. Ruth ran into a whole variety of problems, including finding a large, unsealed crack behind the wiring in the side of my house, poor wiring everywhere, one of the new floodlights didn't fit properly due to the downspout, the new floodlights weren't really designed for my type of installation, and several other things. In every case, she didn't get frustrated and do a hack job, but instead came up with creative solutions and kept trying until she got things to work. The job ended up taking much longer than anticipated and she had to come back the next day, but I'm happy it got done right rather than fast. Overall, I LOVE Ruth, and will ask specifically for her when I call to have more work done. Unfortunately, she found water leaking into my service panel when she did the whole-house inspection, so I have a very expensive call to make in my future! She did seal it up, so I don't have to deal with that problem right away. I definitely recommend this company, and especially Ruth.
Description of Work: Replaced 3 outdoor floodlights and 2 indoor fluorescent lights (fixtures supplied by me). Replaced outdoor GFCI receptacle. Replaced wiring to floodlights. Weatherproofed top of meter can. Performed whole house electrical inspection.

Scheduling was not an issue. They were able to come the next day (a Saturday) to complete the work. Scheduling was hassle -free. Ron, the electriian, was prompy, courteous and professional. He completed the work in a timely manner and everything worked fine. We definitely recommend and have scheduled them for completion of additional projects on the project list.
Description of Work: Purchased an Angies list coupon. Received an estimate for a variety of projects around the house. On this day, the electrician preformed a whole house electrical review, fixed a short in the kitchen light, fixed a three-way switch on the stairway and fixed a light socket in the laundry room. We are planning to have them return for additional work.

After our earlier mix-up I was still left with my project and an Angie's List coupon already paid for--money lost if I didn't use it. Finally heard from the owner Chip, who was very apologetic about their mistakes, and rescheduled my appointment. Tech (Ruth) arrived on time, was very thorough and professional, and did a great job of installing the fan. The downside, as others have mentioned, is the cost. I appreciate 'flat rate' pricing but it is extremely high (over twice the cost of a similar job I had done in another part of my home a few years a go with another company). Live and learn...coupons do not guarantee a good deal. Still, the job is finally done and done well. I advise getting estimates from multiple companies before purchasing a coupon, no matter how good the deal seems.

.It was a pleasure meeting with Ruth. She was very detail-oriented and meticulous.
Description of Work: Ruth from Electric Man came out and gave me an estimate. She really explained what was going to be done and the cost. She was very pleasant and knowledgeable. I had an exhaust fan and light installed in my bathroom ceiling with venting through the attic and outside. She and her partner arrived on time and spent much of a Saturday working. They also put in a switch with a new double plate (didn't just add a switch) and also patched and rewired a GFI switch over the sink. Initially I thought the price was a little high but they ran into some problems in the attic which raised the price.
