The tech was very nice. He was here approximately 90-120 minutes. He was very through. I thought the price was very reasonable for the amount of work performed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to someone or to call them again for service.

Great experience. Called about 2 weeks before the job for an estimate. Came right out, gave a good price for all the work involved. Set up a date for the job. They came on time, were very professional. They got the job done, in a shorter time than I would have thought. Job was clean, and neat.. I am very pleased. I work construction, and am very picky. CW Electrical is great. Very professional, great craftsmanship and decent price. I would use them again, and Highy recommed them.
Description of Work: Installed new electrical service, disconnect box, new circuit breaker box and moved to a new location.

CW Electric came out to give us an estimate on fixing our front lamp post after an electrical storm. They came out the first time and spent almost two hours diagnosing the problem and providing an estimate, free of charge. We felt the price was fair and scheduled them to come out to replace our lamp post. We were very happy with the work done as well as the time they spent explaining the issues beforehand. We will definitely use them for future electrical projects.

We are very happy with CW's work. Dave came out to do an estimate and was able to start the job on the very same day. He and the tech who accompanied him were punctual, friendly and professional. We have 40+ outlets that need to be replaced, and they have only been able to replace about half so far. They will complete the job in the coming weeks and I am confident they will be just as efficient and hard-working the second time around.
Description of Work: 20 2-prong outlets replaced with 3-prong outlets.

ceiling fans, electrician

Manager, Dave, came to our home to discuss job, offer advice on ceiling fans and placement, and give price for work. I appreciated the time he took talking about ceiling fans and placement in a vaulted ceiling. He was very thorough in giving us information about the job to be done and his company. An appointment was made accommodating our schedule. The technician arrived on time, assembled the fan that we had previously ordered and had waiting for him. He double checked with me on placement before proceeding. He was professional, very nice, and left things neat and clean. This was the second time we've hired CW Electrical in a short time, and we have them in our permanent file now as our go-to electrician company. Completely satisfied.

We contacted the company for an estimate to do re-wiring and new installation in a 1920's home we bought for our daughter in the North Hills. Dave made an appointment time for the estimate and worked around our schedules to do so. They were very quick with a detailed estimate and then fit us into their schedule pretty quickly as well. The estimate was detailed break down of all we had asked to have done with pricing. We had the option to do the entire job or bit by bit as we could afford, the pricing did not change. We chose to have it completed ASAP. Our daughter said the two electricians that worked in the home were courteous, clean and worked straight through for 2.5 days to complete the entire project. The work was not easy fishing new wiring up to the attic and moving wires that were left hanging from the new kitchen we were working on. The were installing new circuits, new outlets interior and exterior and dedicated circuits/outlets in bedrooms and bathroom upstairs. The wiring in the kitchen was a mess from previous owners, and the rest of the home was the existing 1920's wiring. It was not an easy job. The electricians also suggested whole house surge suppressor at the panel, which was very much appreciated.
Description of Work: We requested an estimate to rewire a portion of a 1920s home that we were working on for our daughter. A new kitchen, a few bathroom outlets, bedroom outlets, wiring to the attic and circuits at the panel box were needed. We also requested exterior outlets, lights and rewiring of cellar lights.

Great! Fit me into a busy schedule and arrived early, stayed to do a complete thorough evaluation
Description of Work: They came out and did an estimate for a partial rewire of knob and tube replacement. Although I have not had the work completed yet, the technician that did the estimate did a great job and was very thorough, competent, and treated me well. As soon as I have the funds for the project I will absolutely contact them again to compete the upgrade. Thanks!

ceiling fans, electrician
  + 0 more
I first hired CW Electric to install 4 ceiling fans that I had purchased for my new home. The service technician, Tony, arrived on time and ready to start the job. Two of the ceiling fans were a challenge as they were being installed on cathedral ceilings and the controls had to be programed. Even so, Tony was very positive and assured me that he would be able to complete the job on time - which he did. I was very pleased with CW Electric's service and hired them again to add electrical outlets to an unfinished basement as well as put existing overhead lights, currently working on pull strings, on a wall switch. The team was faced with unanticipated challenges with the walls of the garage where the main box was located. Again they found a solution to the problem and completed the job on time and on budget. I would use CW Electrical again and refer them to friends and family.

An AFCI breaker breaker blew on our 5 or so year old circuit. CW Electrical was prompt, professional, and friendly. We talked all throughout the process and I felt the technician provided honest feedback on how we should move forward. There was no pressure to purchase anything beyond the one breaker that wasn't working. I really appreciated the service, conversation, and prioritization of things to do in the future. Also, the costs associated with the service call were well itemized and explained by the technician. Great experience all around!
Description of Work: CW Electrical Services replaced two AFCI breakers and provided consultation on brining other aspects of our electrical work up to code.

The fire occurred on July 27, 2012. It has been a slow process. CW Electric got back to me promptly and came out to give us an estimate in a timely manner. They came to complete the work when they said they would and finished on time. A great company!
Description of Work: We had a kitchen fire and needed electrical restoration work. We also had additional upgrades done. Chris came on time and carefully went over all the work we wanted done. He fixed the outlet affected by the fire, grounded all our outlets, added an outlet, wired for our over-the-range microwave, wired for under cabinet lighting, moved the over sink light switch and changed all outlets and switches to white. His work was very professional and he cleaned up when he was done. We will definitely use this company again.

Dave got back to me right away to schedule a time for work to be done. Chris came out to do the work and he arrived on time and was able to complete the work. He also gave me an estimate how much it would be to replace a fan in our bathroom and add more lighting. Everything turned out OK. the only issue I noticed after he left, was that in one of the bathrooms, paint chipped when he took off the old cover. The new cover that he installed was not large enough to cover where the paint had chipped away. My only complaint was that Chris should have pointed that out and they should have offered to find a cover that was bigger that would replace where the chipped off paint was. There was also chipped off paint in the the sink that I had to clean up. I called Dave to let him know, because Chris had left. In the future, I would look at the work more closely before they leave. I think they should carry some bigger covers for the GFCI's outlets. My husband and I ended up having to make an extra trip to Home Depot to find one that was larger to cover the chipped paint. We just felt it was an extra trip we didn't have to make. I probably would use them again, because that was the only problem we had, and Chris was a cool guy. Just wish he would have let me know if there's an issue with paint chipping and not being covered up though before they leave which would have been hepful so we could have been aware of the problem.
Description of Work: We had to replace the GFCI outlets in our bathrooms and we had a couple of outlets that needed fixed with new receptors.

Called and initially talked to Chris. We set up a date for an estimate. Dave came out to give us an estimate. He was very friendly and professional. He explained everything so it was easy to understand and he was very knowledgable. The estimate was given that day and we felt it was a good price. We schedule the work to be done in about 2 weeks.Tony and Rock arrived on time the scheduled day. They were also very friendly yet professional. They preformed the work, cleaned up after themselves and were finished by mid afternoon. I would and will highly recommend them to friends and family and will definitely have them back should we require anymore electrical work.
Description of Work: Had a new 200amp service upgrade to our breaker box with a lifetime warranty and new circuit to a basement outlet.

CW Electrical responded promptly. Initially they were not able to correct the problem in the time scheduled and had to schedule another visit to complete the work. They did not charge us for the follow up. They reconnected several circuits and eliminated the ground fault and installed the GFCI.

I called and spoke with Dave about a few electrical problems that we were having and to have an outdoor plug installed. He was very nice on the phone and actually offered a DIY solution to one of the issues that worked! We scheduled a time for an estimate for the following week and Chris came out to take a look at our home. He was there for about 15 minutes and I had the estimate from Dave the next day. We scheduled a time for them to come out and rewire an outlet where the wires had come loose as well as install the outdoor, weatherproof receptacle. Tony came out to perform the work and it only took him and his partner a little over a half hour to complete both. The estimate was spot on to the charge. Will definitely use again and HIGHLY recommend them.

Dave came out promptly when I called for an estimate. Received his email estimate and insurance and workman's comp information the next day. There was a delay in getting the parts, but not of his doing. He called to set up an appointment as soon as the parts came in. Two of his people arrived right on time and completed the work promptly without regard to the 100 degree plus heat in the attic. The technicians were very polite and extremely professional. They have my unconditional recommendation.

Overall it was a really big job and I am really glad I had done. One thing I really appreciated was that the once my job was started the electricians kept working until it was completed correctly. It can be hard to keep contractors to a timeline but although my job took longer than anticipated I did not have any lag time waiting for them to come back.
Description of Work: I had all the knob and tube wiring removed, the house re-wired and a new service installed. Tony and Rock were the two technicians assigned to my job and I can't say enough good things about their work. One of my biggest pet peeves is contractors who don't come when they are scheduled and this was never an issue with these gentlemen. They were polite, hardworking, trustworthy and friendly. I got multiple estimates prior to having this work done and although I did have some lower estimates I went with my gut on chosing C.W. Electrical and I feel I made the right choice.

I first asked CW to install surge box because they offered big deal. Chris arrived on time and was very professional. I asked for other work and he showed me a beautiful design price list. I like the transparence of prices - every work has its price in the list. Then I asked CW back to replace a broken ceiling lamp in the storage room. The price was very reasonable - with labor and material. I will highly recommend CW for all your electrical work at home.

We had bought a pool and wasn't told we needed to run electrical with a timer and GFI. We found out when my husband was looking up information about the pool online. I contacted several electrical companies. Dave agreed to show up at the end of the work day so my husband could chat with him. He showed up early but had no qualms about hanging around until my husband showed up after 5pm. He was very personable and, truth be told, I was set on using CW just because of that. The great estimate was just a bonus! My husband dug the trench (which saved us a bunch on the estimate). They showed up on time for the work, coming by to install on two separate occasions and even cleaned up any mess that was made. Dave stopped by a couple more times to make adjustments before and after the pool was installed (bonding the pool, being there for electrical inspections). This being my first foray into permits and inspections, Dave was with me every step of the way and kept me from going off the deep end with anxiety. They were always prompt with returning phone calls and emails too. The greatest thing, though, was getting our pool inspected by the building inspector. The electrical inspector passed us at the beginning of the July 4th week. But the building inspector wasn't going to come out until the electrical inspector's check came into the township office. Fearing we'd be sitting, staring at a pool we couldn't use for the 4th of July weekend, I gave Dave a call and he assured me he'd sort it out with the building inspector. He dropped a check off at the office on the morning of the 5th and a hour or so later the building inspector stopped by. Our pool passed inspection and the weekend was saved! These guys, especially Dave, bent over backwards for us and got things done. Highly, highly recommend them for any and all electrical work!
Description of Work: Installed GFI convenience line and GFI w/timer line for our pool. Handled inspections with the building and electrical inspectors. Paid for electrical inspections.
