We got two people and one hour of service (which could be the same, or not, depending on the work). The main problem we needed fixed was a recessed light that goes on and off. After testing with different light bulbs, we were told the fixture (canister) needed to be replaced. Since this is located in the attic (and surrounded by insulation), they were not able to do the job. Had we discussed more in-depth in advance, perhaps the service could have been performed. So, we ended up paying $99 to change 3 hard-wired fire alarms which we probably could have done ourselves. Not necessarily the fault of the service provider alone, but disappointed that the main problem was not solved.
Description of Work: Changed smoke alarms. Checked one outlet.

Showed up on time and were professional during the whole experience. Unexpected additional cost for supplies, but understandable. Cleaned up after themselves and ran over on time, but didn't charge us extra...thank you.

They were fantastic! Since I purchase 2 hours of electrical work, I thought they would only get to 2 or 3 of the problems on my project list. Instead, Eric and his partner fixed everything on my wish list in less than an hour. If I had anything more to give them they would have happily done it. I was so pleased with their service that I looked forward to giving them an wonderful review. They were friendly and professional. I highly recommend them!!

Perfect - Eric and Ryan were thoroughly professional and knowledgeable since these were basically troubleshooting tasks beyond the normal homeowner level of expertise. The work was completed well within the allotted time frame and solved several nagging electrical related issues which had existed for some time. Every outlet and switch on the property (internal and external) now works properly.
Description of Work: Replaced a defective GFCI breaker, ran power to a dead outlet, wired an outdoor motion sensor triggering security lights.

The first time I used him he was very professional and his price was good. This time was different. He was late to arrive, and forgot about me calling the day before. I had to call him again to get it scheduled. He said it would be $245, which seemed steep to me. I didn't think he was being professional, as he was about to start work without even discussing the price with me. He was like a different person from the first time I used him.
Description of Work: I have used him before, so I called him when I wanted to get 2 motion lights installed outside.

Response from E G Electric
[Member Name Removed], when a past customer calls me back to perform another job I assume they are hiring me to do the work. I have NEVER been asked back from a past customer to give them a price on a job. Especially a job under $300.00. You never clearly explained to me what you wanted done. You kept saying "your the electrician you should know" .That job is not just about installing a motion light. Yes I do apologize for being late and having to call me more than once, but I always approach my customers in an professional manner. Good luck with your new electrician

Description of Work: Installed a new ceiling fan, fixed a ceiling light and installed a new outside light with an on and off switch. The $155.00 included the cost of the outside lights, bulbs, labor and miscellaneous items. I plan on having him back in the spring. Thank you Eric.

I called Eric on a Friday and he met with me that afternoon. After giving me the quote on that same Friday afternoon, he scheduled the work for the following Monday morning. He even called on Sunday night to confirm with me. On Monday morning, he arrived promptly and completed the work. He then clearly explained what he had done and that all of the issues were addressed. The cost was exactly as quoted. Eric presents as an extremely reasonable and competent professional. We were 100% comfortable having him in our home and appreciated the prompt and professional service, as well as the reasonable cost. We have very high standards and are quite selective about who we let do work in our home. Eric exceeded those standards. We will definitely use him again in the future. We give Eric our highest recommendation.
Description of Work: I had another electrician wire my basement for a workout room that we installed. Unfortunately, the service was inadequate to handle the load demanded by the treadmill and the circuit was tripped every time we tried to use it. I called Eric at E.G. Electric and he came to my house that day. He reviewed with me the issues that he identified, including another substandard wiring issue. He gave me a very reasonable quote to rewire the room and correct the substandard wiring.

Eric and his crew were very professional, polite, and kept me informed along the way. The job did take longer than expected due to unexpected requirements by the electrical inspector which caused the price to increase from the estimate, but it was not a surprise. Eric kept me informed at each step and increase in price. Midland Drive
Description of Work: Replace electrical panel after a fire. Job required testing of all wiring in the house, junctioning the wiring from where the wire was good and running new wire from the junction boxes to the new electrical panel, and correcting some wiring that had been done not to code. Additionally some arc fault breakers were required which also increased the cost.

We have used E G Electric in the past and once again found the service level to be excellent: prompt response time to our initial inquiry; punctual arrival on the day of scheduled service; reliable work - everything is all set now! I highly recommend E G Electric.
Description of Work: E G Electric provided excellent service on several electric problems which required professional intervention: exterior landscape/flood lighting problem which had visitors approaching our door in complete darkness, and a vexing interior lighting issue which had gone unresolved for quite some time.

Eric responded immediately to our heating emergency and came soon after being called, despite it being a busy holiday season. He diagnosed the problem as a malfunctioning thermostat, which he replaced. Heat works fine now. He was friendly and professional, and he did not charge extra for an emergency call. We have used him before and will use him again.

Read above. Don' t hire him because he does not stand behind his work.
Description of Work: I needed a stove which was hard wired change and a plug put in for a new stove. He came and the hard wire was coming from the floor so he installed a plug in the floor and attached the wire to my old stove. My new stove was a double oven and low to the ground. he had said to us to call him if there was any problem which there is because the new stove is low to the ground it will not slide past the plug. It is 6 inches from the wall. He will not respond to our calls and to phrase it " I think you call it "Take the MONEY and run, that what HE does. Do NOT hire him he has no scruples or integrity.

Response from E G Electric
EG Electric was hired to install a 240 volt surface mounted plug for an electric oven that Was Not at the site of the job. EG Electric suggested to the homeowner that oven should be on job site so we can see specs of location of new oven outlet. Homeowners said if plug not in correct spot they will contact us. EG Electric was paid $170.00 for the work performed THAT day. Never gave promise to comeback and relocate plug. Very sorry for not getting back to customer, but if EG Electric did return to relocate outlet the customer would have been charged. EG Electric has never "taken the money and ran" we do whats asked and then expect to get paid for our services.

This was a last minute fix before the sale of the house. We found a light switch that was very hot and worried about safety. Given the timing being the day before the Fourth of July, we were panicking. He calmly offered us a time for the very day that we called and came out. He explained the problem and fixed it right away. This was the best electrical service we have ever received! And as for the pricing, it was VERY fair.

Eric is great. He had his workers arrive right on time. I gave a B for professionalism only because one of the worker came in eating and I didn't think that was appropriate but not a huge deal. Eric came later and was very professional and polite. He explained everything he was doing and what he recommended. The price was very fair and the quality of work was very good. This is the second time I have used this company.

It didn't go. In fact, not one of the Angie's list 'professionals' showed up or called. This is why I cancelled my service.
Description of Work: Eric came out to give an estimate, took our valuable time, then never sent an estimate. What good is Angie's list? I should use Craig's List, seriously. My time is worth $300/hour, who is this guy to create a false expectation?
