George was extremely responsive and efficient. He came over the same day I called, replaced the two switches. Then I called him again an hour later because i was having an issue with another light fixture. He came right back, diagnosed the issue, went to the hardware store and got the part, and replaced everything. It saved me alot of time and hassle, and his prices are reasonable.
Description of Work: Replacement of two light switches and one light fixture

Our home's main breaker went bad on a Saturday evening - power was out to about half the house despite no indication of tripped breakers or other problems. I called George Bankert around 9:30 Sunday morning, he called back around 10 a.m. and the repair work was completed by 1 p.m. the same day. I was expecting to have trouble finding someone to come out on a Sunday, and then to have to pay a lot for the service call, but George was responsive, speedy, and professional, and the price was very reasonable. Overall, a very good experience.
Description of Work: Diagnosed faulty main breaker, and replaced it.

He came in an emergency situation. The air conditioner went out. I went out and I bought a new one and he brought his son back and they installed the new one and it was on a hot August day for about 4 hours and they did an excellent job.
Description of Work: My air conditioner unit, a 27000 BTU unit, went out on a day when the temperature was in the 100's.

BANKERT ELECTRICAL was asked to install a new box and two GFCI outlets and they did the install however, I began to notice that some of the outlets that worked before were not working. I call the company and told them that I was having this problem and that when I returned from vacation, I needed them to come check it out. They agreed but never called. I called them again and asked if they would come check out my problem and provide a bid on other electrical projects that I had. They agreed to come out but never showed up nor did they call. I understand that there are contractors that do this but when it happens to you, it has a slightly bigger sting. What a waste of time. Good luck.
Description of Work: Replace and installed new electric box in basement and a new GFCI outlet in the kitchen and bathroom.

The job went smoothly. George arrived on time and completed work as described. He was neat and careful. I appreciate his initiative and helpfulness. When I showed him the work that needed to be done, he picked up on a hazardous condition that I wasn't even aware of.
Description of Work: Installed 3 lighting fixtures operated by switch; put in telephone jack; remove hazardous wiring and rewire ceiling fan; fix hazardous outlet.

Description of Work: My home is a 30 year old town house. Four original ceiling fixtures were replaced. Two bedroom ceiling fans were replaced. A basement GFCI outlet was installed. A second floor cracked bathroom GFCI cover and shaky ceiling fan were repaired as a courtesy. A previous electrician (not on Angie's List) Charged me for and did not come back to install basement GFCI outlet or replace his cracked GFCI cover. Mr. Bankert demonstrated the operations of the equipment installed. Bankert Electrical contractors were professional and treated us with respect. I felt comfortable with them in my home.

He came right out, took care of the job, and was done in 15 minutes. Another company said they wouldn't come out for less than $300, but Bankert came out and said it did not need to be replaced, that it just needed an adjustment.
Description of Work: There was a problem with my attic fan, and it needed a minor adjustment.

His work is excellent and timely. Mr. Bankert is very courteous and a great person to deal with. I would recommend him without reservation for any electrical work. He is fully licensed and cares a great deal about the quality of the final product. I will definitely use him for all future projects. He made many suggestions for improvements to plans and things to ensure code compliance.
Description of Work: I have retained Mr. Bankert for total rewire of two investment properties: one two story and one three story, both with full basements. Work included total rewire of power and lighting as well as new services.

Never called or came to provide estimate.
Description of Work: I contacted this business to provide an estimate for my senior citizen mother. I explained to the owner that my mother lives alone and gave both her phone number and my home number for contact. Mr. Bankert was very polite over the phone and promised to contact my mother and get over to her home by Wednesday 8-16-06. He never phoned my mother nor myself.

George and his son were here for over 4 hours and did a great job. They were not phased by the number of little ''Oh, by the way...'' jobs I added into the mix once they were here. They were courteous and efficient, I will definitely be using them again.
Description of Work: A number of tasks including adding new outlets, moving light switches, rewiring basement lighting, rewiring common-area lighting so that it is now on the owner's apartment account (allowing me to close out an unneeded third account on this house), fixing dead outlets, installing a new motion-detector light over the front door, a few other minor things.

George is very thorough & provides excellent service. He is prompt, reliable, & efficient. I have used his services multiple times, the biggest being the service upgrade. For that, I entrusted him with the keys to my home. He performed the work with no issues & exactly as promised. He has consistently responded when I've needed him & his rates are more than reasonable. I plan to use him for all my electrical work.
Description of Work: Upgrade electrical service to 200 amps. Install new outlets. Install new light fixture. Hang ceiling fan. Clean up overhead wire runs in basement. Install fluorescent lighting in basement.
