Scammers.. beware... electrician in training located the issue and suggested the fix while the master tech stated the appliance was the issue. Sent two techs for a one man job and over charged me per technician. Beware.

I would probably use them again. But I have to start using everything and to make sure that wiring is correctly fixed. It depends on how much wiring on what circuit, hopefully we have enough circuit there should be no problem.
Description of Work: They fixed wiring that wasnt working, basically added GF5. Fixed switches that is not working correctly. Apparently, until I can came back in with my appliances it seems that is working properly. Price is reasonable and fair , they came quickly , very reasonable. They will do as what they have promised and came back to double check everything.

It was good. I've used them before. They put in my electrical service box in the main part of the house too, that was years ago. That's why I called them back. They were very good and their prices compared to other electrical companies is very fair.
Description of Work: I had a basement finished and he did a new electrical service box, and the wiring as far as routing the wires, and installing the boxes, and inspection.

Electrical stalker... If you are attempting to call a customer and they do not answer the phone ....clearly they are unavailable ! This guy shows up at your home anyways, walks into your house, and has an attitude when you ask him to leave....Are you serious ??? WOW
Description of Work: Bad attitude and just ridiculous! I called to set up an appointment... BC electric tells me they'll be in the area the following day and he will call me to come look at the job. I ended up working late and figured I would have to reschedule. BC electric calls my phone seven times, shows up at my house without a scheduled appointment, WALKS IN TO MY HOME while I'm sleeping on my couch, and tells me he is here to give me an estimate. I continue to explain I did not have an appointment scheduled, why would you call my phone 7 times without an answer and show up anyway, why did you just walk in my home, and if he could please leave! He begins mouthing off at me in my home as I'm telling him to leave. So unprofessional!!!! I can't even imagine working with this guy considering the way he just turns around and starts going off as he has to get the last word in and feeling so comfortable to just walk into someone's home...

Bob came out initially to see the location and provide an estimate. I re-contacted the company 1 week later to schedule a time to get the work done. I was able to get on the schedule within one week of my call so I did not have to wait very long. I was given an expected time of arrival between 1:00pm and 3:00pm. No one arrived and I did not get a call regarding a delay. I called the company at 3:05pm and was told the electrician was still on a prior job and that they would call me back later to tell me when to expect his arrival. No one called back but two individuals from the company arrived at 3:35pm. Since communication seemed to be an issue, I re-confirmed the scope work with them. Luckily I did that since they were going to install aluminum wire instead of the 6 gauge copper wire that had been stated in the electric vehicle outlet specifications I had given/shown Bob during the estimate appointment. The two electricians completed the job in 30 minutes. I would use this company again because: 1. Someone answered the phone when I called to set up the appointment for the estimate. I did not have to leave a message and wait for a call back one week later as with other companies. 2. I was able to set up appointments within 2 days for the estimate and within 6 days to schedule the actual work. 3. The electrician(s) did what I asked after I reconfirmed the scope of work.
Description of Work: Installed a NEMA 14-50 outlet with a 50amp breaker in my garage for an electric vehicle.

I was given a quote of $125.00 to replace 4 smoke alarms that I supplied when I made the appointment. After the smoke alarms were installed the price was $175.00. The electrician said that I was paying for 2 electricians since he came with a partner. I did not know that I needed to request one electrician only. For this reason I would not use this company again because the price changed after the service was completed.
Description of Work: I had BC electric replace 4 smoke alarms in my house. I had already purchased the replacement smoke alarms and had them install them. On the phone when I scheduled the appointment I was given a price of $125.00. After the electrician installed the 4 Smoke alarms the price was $175.00. He said because he came with 2 electricians himself and his partner the rate would be higher. I was paying for 2 electricians to install the replacement smoke alarms. I didn't know that I should have asked for one electrician only.

I called B C Electric two days prior to them arriving. I had asked for an estimate on running a new electric line for a stove. Everyone in Pittsburgh loves gas stoves, but I like the ceramic cooktop surface that you only find on an electric stove and my gas stove conveniently died, leaving me free to install an electric oven. They arrived and gave me the estimate and then offered to do the work right then. I took them up on it. They were finished in 45 minutes. They took all of the debris away with them and the work was just super. This has allowed me to not have any down time without an oven, mine is being delivered tomorrow morning. This is not the first time that B C has been in our house to do work. In March of 2014, they worked as a subcontractor when we had a general contractor build an addition for us. B C Electric did all of the wiring. That job consisted of doing the wiring for three rooms and a bath. They were quick and good then and they were the same today. Their price was fair. I felt like I received a great service at a decent price.

It was excellent. I needed to get a new fuse box because the outside line had deteriorated and water had seeped into the fuse box so that was wet and they came out on an emergency call to check it out and within 48 hours, they were there to complete the service. They didn't think they can get it in for a week but then they called me the next day, and within 48 hours we had it set up. I thought that was excellent. I was very pleased. I'm going to use them again. I'm going to get some other things done so they'll be here.
Description of Work: B C Electric came out to put a new fuse box in May. I also had a couple of things done.

I like B C Electric. Wiring in sockets work loose over time, and the guy took it apart and tightened it. The charge was reasonable because it involved a callout fee. He is very personable and did a good job. He didn't do a whole heck of a lot, but he was punctual and did what needed doing. I've been using this company for over 8 years. He is real good all the time. He knows what he is doing.

Very smooth. Showed up on time and no problems. I have used them in the past, due to reasonable prices and good service. While here, they also replaced the light/fan switch in the bedroom that controlled the fan and light (I supplied). Also, while up in the attic to run the wiring for the laundry switch, they replaced the existing old-fashioned light fixture with a new one I had already bought, with no additional charge. When here to give estimates that included these and other services, fixed a switch in our family room that was not hooked up properly to an existing outlet, no charge. They have been helpful and reasonable in all dealings.
Description of Work: 1: We had a switch that was located very high with a blank switch in the regular spot in a bedroom, connected to a fan and light. Lowered the switch back to it's original position and moved the blank cover to the higher position. 2: Installed a light switch in the laundry area where we only had a chain pull light which was broken. 3: Fixed an outlet in our hall which was inoperable.

I told them I wanted the pole light to be connected to another light outside my house. They did not do this. They also came out twice to fix my vanity light and said the bulb is just burning out but I know that it is more than that. It is not due to trying to screw the bulb in that tight. They charged me twice for those visits and I would not necessarily recommend them.

They did a wonderful job. The owner of the company came out to give us a quote. He was very friendly and personable. He was a little late but called several times to update us on his status of arrival. His crew was very neat and professional and did a great job cleaning up afterwards. They even filled up the hot tub for us and made sure that everything was working properly.
