The service went well. I had previously tried to have VEC Services come out, but hey never returned my first call. Never recommend them to anyone. After everything was completed I was pleasantly surprised that the bill was also less than anticipated. Definitely would recommend to everyone. hank you guys.
Description of Work: Ceiling fans that had to be removed and replaced by new fans. I also had an issue in the kitchen that I created by trying to save money when I put up a back splash in the kitchen. I thought that I knew the problem so I would have been able to shorten the time it took to trace the real problem. I was mistaken and the repairman, Paul, told me what I did wrong and actually showed me what to do next time. Next time I will call them. While Paul was in the kitchen Max was busy doing the ceiling fan in the bedroom. They worked together well and in no time they had everything done.

Jeremy was awesome. He arrived on time and was fast and professional. He replaced an outdoor fan quickly and cleaned up meticulously. I would definitely ask for him because he is nice and professional. Two very important qualities when working in ones home.

I contacted this company through Angie's List on 3/6. I received a prompt reply and was told on 3/7 that they would call me to get additional details so they could provide an accurate quote. Still waiting on that phone call 8 days later.

Response from Charleston Electric
We are a Service business that accommodates almost 5000 customers a year unfortunately a few calls or email may slip through the cracks. Although we Try to guarantee 100% satisfaction 100% of the time we unfortunately are not perfect 100% of the time! Emails sometimes get overlooked when you get several hundred per day. Did you ever try to give our office a call? I apologize for your inconvenience but I feel like a F rating without even trying to call our office line which is on the Angies list page is a little out of line.

The technician arrived at the scheduled time and was able to install 3 electrical sockets in my bathrooms. The technician was polite and professional and he was able to complete the job quicker than originally estimated. No unexpected costs: paid the quoted hourly rate for the time the job took, plus parts.

Electrician stated needed to determine where in ground wires were damaged but provided times of consult by company owner that were not acceptable for us. He gave us 2 days between 10a- 12p and being a female, did not understand exactly what he was suggesting for repair so asked to return and discuss with spouse but they were not flexible for a visit at 5pm- 6pm or any weekend to obtain an estimate. As many households have working homeowners I find this unacceptable to only have availability with these hours. Felt he was not sure of cause of problem
Description of Work: electrical lines not working for outside lights Electrician stated needed more work to determine cause of failure Did find breaker box was not up to code and this was fixed quickly but felt overall job was experience for 10 breaker box repair

Steve from Charleston Electric came out to perform the work. Steve was very knowledgeable and professional; a master at his craft! I was extremely impressed with his attention to detail (it was as if he was working on his own home). If I need electrical work done in the future, Steve will be the guy I ask for!

We were able to get an appointment only 2 days after calling Charleston Electric. I received several calls from the company office keeping me apprised of Paul's arrival time. He arrived at the exact time expected. He worked quickly and with confidence and was very knowledgeable. One fixture needed a part that was longer than the part included and Paul had that spare part in his truck and expertly swapped it to make the fixture fit the space. We were very impressed with Paul and his service and the professional installation. We will use this company again when we need electricial work for sure.
Description of Work: Paul installed two light fixtures. One was a heavy crystal chandelier.

Paul Schuck was professional, quickly determining the problem and the rewiring that was needed. He explained in layman's terms the work needed and the procedures done. He took special care moving the dishwasher on our newly installed tiled floor (no scratches). He also replaced a 3 way hall light switch. I will request Paul again for the wiring of my new dishwasher. Very happy with the company and Paul's service.
