I referred them to my daughter.
Description of Work: I called them back because the lights turned on was a sensor and they were able to see the box out there and I called them and said I don’t think it’s the light because the lights is still on and they came u the next business day and they replaced it and I said what do owe you and they said it’s ok, I already paid.

Description of Work: They were very considerate in working around my schedule to select a date for service. I needed a new ground, neutral wires correctly connected, smoke alarm repairs, multiple new outlets, new outdoor compliant outlets, installation of a new light plus other things as well as answering my multiple questions. Chris and Randy worked nonstop for more than 5 hours and were a pleasure to have working in my home. I will definitely use them again and I highly recommend them.

Work was done ultimately, after 6-7 weeks of no contact. Wanted to charge to come back and finish what was started. ($ 100 service charge). I refused. Called me back and said he "investigated" and will finish the job after all w/o a charge. Everything is working fine but the attitude is unacceptable and will not use them again, and neither will my family members and the neighbors I spoke to. Sorry.

Response from B&K Electric
We greatly apologize for how you feel about us as a company and that you were this dissatisfied. As far as the 6 or 7 weeks after I am not sure what you mean. You had purchased an $89 1 hour service which we did come out for. You had mentioned what you wanted done and it would of been at least a half days worth of work (installation of a few fixtures). You were not interested in us coming back to do it. We asked if there was other work you wanted done and at the time you did not. You then called us back 6 or 7 weeks later to come back out and replace an outdoor socket. This would be a separate visit from the original purchase. When I talked to Chris the electrician that came out he had said that no service was done the first time cause apparently you did not have anything. The last thing we want is an unhappy customer so we decided to just send them back out at no charge to you and replace the socket. When we talked you seemed very satisfied. I do apologize for the miscommunication and misunderstanding of how the Angie's list deal actually worked. It is a one time visit to do any work you needed done within the hours time. I hope you would reconsider this bad review? Our whole point of agreeing to the terms of this deal is to establish a relationship so we can work with each other in the future. We do realize that we are not always going to make everyone satisfied but as a company we always try our best to do so. Good luck in the future and hope to work for you again.

When he came to the house, he was friendly. He looked around and said that the bathroom outlet needed to be on a GFI - I knew this. I expected him to open the panel and look at the wires, as he had said he'd do. I called him to reschedule, but he didn't call me back.

Response from B&K Electric
Perfect example of us as contractors having to be careful of how we expose ourselves. When someone only pays $59.00 for an overall electrical inspection and isn't satisfied its scary..I look at all the important issues and safety. If a plumber shows up to my home and gives me advice on my plumbing system for $59.00 I would be grateful and ask him for his opinion or even ask how much it would cost to fix it. While I was there at house I saw all the important items I had to see and suggested comments to him on what needs attention or needs to be fixed or replaced. There was no feed back or interest on moving forward to have us back. Five months later I get a review like this. Why wasn't this addressed at that time. I would of been happy to answer any questions after my evaluation. If a panel is now discontinued, rusted out, overloaded, or illegal that's all I need to see to give my opinion. I'm sorry if it looked like I was rushing. I've been doing this for 24 years now so it's easy to see what is Satisfactory and what needs to be pointed out. Mr. Ko needed work done and there was no call back to make an appointment. I always ask if there are any particular concerns they may have and put my attention towards. There were no concerns so I gave him my evaluation and I had to move on to my next appointment. All I care about is that my crew and I make customers happy they chose B&K Electric.

Electrician came quickly after i bought the service, was prompt and thorough in hos inspection. The news wasnt what i was hoping to hear, but i wasnt surprised. The building was not to code, and actually deemed 'dangerous'. Later that day i was contacted by Mike, who is either the owner, or someone in a management position. I have waited too long to write this review, and i have forgotten some of the details. I was shocked by the initial quote, and didnt hide my surprise at how high it was, based on what the inspection guy had led me to believe the price would be. Mike understood and immediately made offers that cut back on the scale of the work, and brought the price WAY down. Even so, it was more than i could afford at the time, and i had to pass on having the work done right away. But i later did some reasearch and spoke with others who had similar work done, and i believe the quoted price was very fair, and i will definitely contact Mike when i am able to have the work done.
Description of Work: B & K electrician came by to do electrical inspection of my converted two car garage. The original work was done before i bought the property, illegally, and without a permit, so i needed to know how well it was done.

He was pleasant and efficient.
Description of Work: He checked out my electrical panel, connections and many of my outlets, as some of them were not working reliably,then replaced those that needed it. He also found that I needed to replace standard outlets with GFI outlets in the bathrooms, kitchen & laundary room in order to bring me up to code/safety.

Peter and Randy from B&K showed up on time and were very professional and did an outstanding job organizing the new panel. They had to move my FIOS panel to make room for the larger electrical panel so they installed a larger back board to give me plenty of room. They also did additional work that I had not expected them to do. They added a light near the box and an outlet next to the FIOS unit for the battery backup. I will be calling B&K to do some more work for me in the near future.
Description of Work: I had B&K replace my electrical panel with a larger panel.

The deal was for one hr. of work and whole home inspection. The man who came was only here a half hour and looked around very quickly and would not have looked at every outlet unless I showed him. He did not look at any outlets in basement. I have washer/dryer hooked up as well as 3 lights without covers in basement. I was told it would cost $400 or so to have 2 guys come for 2 hrs to put a few new outlets in my home. He did look at outside outlets. I feel he was not here the full time. He did replace one outlet that was loose and would not work. I feel as though he was too quick to leave and did not do a very thorough inspection of full house. I was scheduled for 8:30-9:30am but was asked if they could come later at 9:30-11am. I agreed. I received a call saying the man who was coming to my home was in Exeter and was running late and would come in about an hour or hour and a half. I was also disappointed in this. The time kept being moved to later. I did not receive any paperwork from the man who came with all things checked off that were supposed to have been done. I saw the paper for a home inspection and it read $59. The man took it and put in under other papers on his clipboard. I was left with no paperwork and he did not take paper I had about the deal I purchase. I felt as though he really rushed and did not do a thorough inspection. Not happy with deal I received.
Description of Work: Look around as I pointed out outlets around house. Looked at circuit breaker quickly and outside outlets.

We are sorry we did not satisfy [removed member name]. We have talked since this review. We were a little crazy that day and forgot to leave a inspection sheet with the customer.which will never happen again. [removed member name] didn't purchase any items to install or fixtures for us to replace. Chris inspected the house which took about 20 minutes and installed a $22.00 GFCI outlet by the sink for NO CHARGE after were told that no additional money was going to be spent. We plan on dropping by a inspection sheet sometime this week. We were sad after seeing this review and will not let this happen again. I have spoken to Chris about this matter and we will use this review to fuel ourselves from forgetting anything else in the future. Thank you for letting us know, Mike O'Neill the owner.

The electrician was professional, skilled and certainly knew his stuff. The only 'down-side' is that they were clearly swamped with leads/ jobs from Angie's list, and there was confusion on the date I scheduled. They rescheduled for the following week, and di the job well. The electrician was able to do all three jobs in the hour allotted, and the only extra cost was a GFI outlet
Description of Work: Replaced two outdoor outlets, re-wired a 3-way switch to work properly, and installed a USB outlet

, and Very prompt service, on time, thoroughly professional and knowledgeable. The estimate was reasonable and the whole experience very good.
Description of Work: Initially responding to a problem caused by overloaded circuits, which they fixed quickly, they did a thorough inspection of my electrical system and discovered corrosion and water seepage in the breaker box, which would eventually cause a much more serious problem. The circuitry was also old and badly done. I hired them to fix the problem: put in a new circuit box, grounding wire, and surge protector..

They located an issue with the electrical system and made recommendations on how to fix it in addition to recommending that I upgrade my electrical box, install ground fault interruptors, and replace the sheath around a wire. However, they only emailed a rough estimate of the costs instead of providing an itemized list of prices. When I spoke with someone on the phone, they again only gave a ballpark estimate and I again asked for a more specific breakdown of the costs which I have yet to receive.

Very professional from the moment I called. They set up a time, told me the hourly price, offered me a coupon, and called the night before to confirm the time. They arrived exactly on time and finished up in a shorter time than expected. He cleaned up after himself. I was charged for the time and materials. Exactly what I expected to pay. I would most definitely call them again.

Extremely well. Our association had used different electricians that rehabed the building in 2006. They seemed fime and knew the wiring because they had installed it. We experienced a couple unusual bills. Then they contacted us through out management company and stated our alarm panel had to be replaced because the display panel was showing bad lettering during tests. The quote was about $1500. I found the panel cost about $650 at the local distributor and $550 from Amazon. I talked to the tech rep and deterimed that 90 minutes would be reasonable to replace and existing panel. Seemed way too much for the labor. I found Mike - B&K Electric after seaching the web. He was personable and understanding from the first phone call. We scheduled a day and later asked him to delay for the convienience of a tennant. He gladly accommodated us. When the day came he was to be met at the building at 0800 to let him in. No one showed up. By 9:45 he had to leave for another job. We had wasted a lot of his time. I called him and he wasn't happy but professional and friendly. More so than I would have been. He worked it ouut to come back. When he and his employee (also very professional and friendly) arrived he questioned that the panel was faulty at all. He asked if he could test it to make sure it was really faulty. (Originally that was quoted as and extra fee that we decided against) They thoroughly tested the system as I watched and it worked fine. Some letters were distorted during the tests but we could understand it. All functions were normal! We didn't need a new panel as ourprior electrian had claimed. The bill?? Less than what he originally quoted to test the system. Despite our having kept him waiting. I never would have expected the service and neighborly attitude!!! I look forward to working with B & K in the future.

Mike, the owner of B & K electric, literally saved us! We have a handicapped child wanted to install a pool for him, for therapeutic purposes. We did not have a lot of money to spend. We had the swimming pool installed, but the company that installed the pool actually installed it without our permission and before we were able to obtain a permit (it was applied for but not yet granted, and we made this clear to the pool company, however while I was at work they came and installed it anyway). We had to obtain a costly variance due to the fact that we live on a corner lot. We had no idea this pool was going to cause us so much trouble. We contacted MANY electricians, and they were all ridiculously expensive. Mike is a sweet man, very considerate and professional. He gave us an estimate, and stood by that estimate. He is incredibly trustworthy. He maintained excellent communication with us. He completed all work wonderfully and extremely professionally. He guaranteed his work and he stands by his word! We had an issue with the electrical inspector and Mike came back and corrected issues that were created by another contractor, which he was not responsible for. He did us a favor and charged us a very reasonable price for both the pool work as well as to correct the work that was done by the previous contractor. I would NEVER hesitate to recommend Mike and B & K Electric, to anyone! In fact, if you don't use Mike, then you're likely going to pay a lot more than you need to, and you deserve anything that happens to you! We have had some very good and some pretty awful contractors during the time we've owned our home. Whenever we consult Angie's List, we have always had a great experience. So LISTEN TO ME. You definitely cannot go wrong with this electrician. Trust me. I've been on the other end and regretted hiring poor contractors from Craigslist, etc. during the time I have been a home owner. Having any kind of work done is stressful enough without complicating things with expensive, incompetent contractors. If you use B & K Electric, you will be satisfied and you will be treated courteously. You will receive professionalism and you will not be overcharged. Mike deserves a medal. I cannot recommend this gentleman highly enough! So if you choose to go with anyone else, all I can say is, I warned you!
