Description of Work: I was very impressed with the quick response for both the estimate and getting the job done! Both workers were extremely efficient, polite and professional. They even went above and beyond by connecting a light fixture that was not on the proposal! I was very pleased and plan to have more work done by King Electric! 😀

Description of Work: After seeing tv ads and doing research, I decided to call them for estimates on several electrical projects involving recess can lighting installation, replacement, dimmer switches, etc. The initial scheduling is great. The electricians who came to perform the estimate were knowledgeable and professional. The estimate came back and while I expected this provider to be more expensive per other reviews, I decided to ask for a breakdown of the time/materials, etc. Despite having just provided an estimate, when asked for a breakdown I was told they could not breakdown each item and they use higher grade materials. I replied that I understood, but needed the breakdown. The next email came with the labor rate ($115/hr) with nothing else but the suggestion that I could purchase my own materials and forego the warranty. I replied that I understood, but until I knew the costs I couldn't decide which way to go and asked again for the breakdown of the materials/costs of the canned lighting. At that point, communication stopped. I have not received a reply and am left to believe that the markup is so bad that they aren't interested in disclosing it. Even if the price is an estimate because you don't know what will happen when you open a ceiling for example, I think it is highly suspect that the price of materials could not be provided. I offer this for other consumers to ask the same questions and/or for King to modify their policies.

Response from King Electric
The proposal was broken down and priced out room by room which gave 6 prices on the original proposal. She wanted a breakdown of material which can include wire, connectors, junction boxes, lights etc. These costs are grouped together per light, switch etc. and are not practical to breakdown. Clients have the option to purchase their own material and a new price given for just labor, but we would not warranty the materials that they supply of course. We did give her the labor rates and gave a price to install lights that she would purchase. To imply that our profit margin is so bad that we would not disclose it, is ridiculous and inflammatory, as is the comment that the price of our materials is highly suspect. We offer a guarantee on our work AND the materials we supply. King Electric has built a good reputation for 24 years with thousands of satisfied clients. We have an A plug rating with the Better Business Bureau and Angie's List. We are a second generation family owned business and our good name is important to us. For someone, who we have not even done any work for, to make these comments, is totally out of line. Norman A King, Owner

Description of Work: My electric/power service pulled off the side of the house. I had this happen a few years ago and had it repaired, but it pulled off again and King Electric did a very thorough job of reattaching and securing it so that it would not pull off in the future. They had to work around a very large tree and were excellent. They explained the service rate up front so there were no surprises. Electrical work is expensive, so I knew exactly what to expect.

Very good experience!
Description of Work: We had two kitchen outlets that suddenly stopped working. I called King and was able to schedule a time that worked for my husband to be home after work. Two men came and inspected and diagnosed the issue - We needed to have an outlet replaced. They worked quickly and efficiently. Definitely will use King Electric again in the future.
