They scheduled to come back out on 3/19/12 to run ground wires, but had some problems at another job, had to re-schedule for 3/23/12. This was not a problem for me. They arrived on 3/23/12 and went straight to work total time was approx. 2 1/2 hours. They ran ground wires to 4 outlets and installed to new outlets. The owner's son and an employee showed up first and about an hour into the job a 3rd employee arrived. They were very good at cleaning up when the work was complete. Explained everything and did not try to over sale. I will need to do some more work in the future and will call Griffin Electrical. Highly recommended.
Description of Work: First service call 3/15/12 - checked electric service, test ground. Found the main ground wire was not connected to the ground rod properly. Made repairs. Removed an old electric panel box on back wall and pulled all of the old wiring out. Needed to run ground wires to outlets and scheduled to do this and quoted me a price.

Not only did Mike and his crew arrive on time, the actual cost for the chandelier installation was less than quoted. Though it was just a small job, Mike and crew treated us the same as someone spending thousands of dollars on a project. Mike was also helpful in answering questions. He even disassembled the old ceiling fan. We are very happy with the entire experience and would definitely would use them again.
Description of Work: Removed ceiling fan and installed chandelier on a very high ceiling.

Although Mike Griffin was a little slow ( a couple of days) to respond to my initial call, he was apolgetic about the delay. He told he what kind of fixtures I needed to replace the flush-mount lights in the stairwell and followed up with me after Thanksgiving to ensure that I had them, making an appointment to do all the requested electrical work several days from then. He requested an email list of the work requested, which I provided. Mike and his co-worker, Buzz, (father and son) arrived on time, and worked without stopping (except for a lunch break they did not bill for) until the work was completed. They are a very well-coordinated team, which plans the work and works efficiently together. My husband commented that Buzz, who actually did the majority of the work, worked very quickly and was very conscientous. Mike and Buzz are knowledgeable, helpful, reliable and professional. We were unable to change the burned-out bulbs in these fixtures because of the height , the design of the fixtures and the lack of access from the attic and the configuration of the stairwell, so replacement was the only option. Buzz confirmed this before he started working, because we were reluctant to replace the fixtures if there was a way to replace the bulbs we just hadn't figured out. Replacing the fixtures in the stairwell was scary, even just watching the process, but between the two of them they made it look fairly easy. We received an itemized bill, which reflected both the parts and labor, in keeping with the work and the time of the visit. I would contact Griffin Electric again if I required the services of an electrician, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: Installed exterior outlets on two walls, one of which required a feed from an upstairs outlet. Removed 3 flush mounts lights from a stairwell and installed recessed fixtures. Changed burned bulbs on two twenty foot high outdoor flood flight fixtures. Installed new fixture and repair in non-working connection in a closet. Replace chandelier in the breakfast area with recessed fixture

Griffin Electric is a father and son team. They arrived when they said they would both times (see below) and called the day before to confirm our appointments. If they were going to be even a few minutes late, they called to let me know this. This is very important, since we are all so busy, but it's also very rare to find this kind of dedication to, and respect for, the customer. They could have finished both jobs in one day, even though I did not have the proper equipment to complete the guest room job the way I wanted to, but I insisted that they come back after Thanksgiving to work on the guest room. After I had purchased the needed part (they told me exactly where nearby to get the part) and offered to come back later that same day, but I had to leave to pick up my children from school, and then wouldn't be returning home until after 6:00 PM. Regarding the guest room, I had purchased the wrong part (a remote and wall sensor), and this was not discovered until they had installed it. The way the circuits were set up in my home when it was built would not allow for a remote system with a dimming feature. Not to be deterred, they ran out to find the part that would work, having to talk to multiple people along the way, to get just the part I needed! Even with the wild goose chase I sent them on, they completed the job in an hour and a half. And, they did all of this with a smile. With all due respect to the other electrical companies listed here with 'A' ratings, Griffin Electric is really the only one you need to call.
Description of Work: We had two jobs for Griffin Electric: (1) Install two, pendant light fixtures in the kitchen); and (2) Hook up electricity to three 'hockey puck' lights in the top of a wall bed unit in the guest room.

I was having problems with several light fixtures in my house and after checking around, I gave Griffin Electric a call. They scheduled a time with me for the following day to check it out for me. They arrived a few minutes late, but I believe the bad weather had a hand in that. Buzz quickly found and fixed the problem, so while he was there, I asked if he could also remove the ceiling fan and install a new light fixture in the kitchen. He was very competent, helpful, courteous and knowledgable. I am very pleased with his work and plan to call them again in the future.

This is the second time that I have used Griffin Electric and both Mike and Buzz proved to most efficient in their work. Again, as was the case in their previous work, they were both punctual and proficient. I find both of them to be very courteous and pleasant to work with. I would have no problem using their services in the future and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for electrical work to be performed.
Description of Work: I had two (2) ceiling fans installed after having defective ones removed and also had and an additional electrical outlet installed in one of our bathrooms.

Great! I only wish I had hired them to start with.
Description of Work: Super! I called Griffin Electric after a "professional electrician" referred by the company who built my house botched the job. The previous electrician installed an outdoor electrical outlet without installing a box or GFCI, and with the bubble cover upside down. Unbelievable. Buzz and Mike came out the same day I called and worked quickly to correct it to how it should have been installed the first time. They are also very personable and professional, and careful not to let your pets out. One of my cats disappeared which worried me, but I later found him inside the fabric liner of the box spring. He's a really good hider!

I had paper on the floor because they were re-spraying the cabinets. I had ordered brand new cabinets. Buzz drilled through one of the new cabinets (that have never been used) while he was installing. That was okay because I figured we could fix it. But I almost threw up when he gave us the bill. They charged us $1087 total; $135 per hour for each of his two electricians that came up for half a day. My husband gave them the opportunity to cut the bill down. Buzz was very humble when my husband confronted him and he was willing to cut the bill but his father, Mr. Griffin, refused. We paid the bill. We looked at the last five years of what electricians had charged us on average. It was $45-55 per hour. We asked the guy who is installing appliances for our remodel and he said he would have only charged $400 for the job at the most. My cabinet guy said the most his electrician would have charged was $400-500. Buzz charged a lot of money, drilled a hole in the cabinet and there was electric debris left over. He said he would fix the hole, but we had our cabinet guy fix it, which he did for free. Buzz left things a mess; I had to pick up all the papers and clean up after him. Even at the maximum, this is almost twice as much as it should have been for the job. It?s not that the work is bad (it wasn't), it?s just that the price is outrageous and he left a mess.
Description of Work: Griffin Electric and Buzz Electric rewired our son’s house a couple of years ago. They charged $1500 and change. We are currently remodeling our kitchen and decided to use Griffin. He contracted the work to his son Buzz of Buzz Electric. I never checked them out because they had done work at our son’s home for a decent price. We are putting our home on the market and we were on very strict budget. They put in three under-cabinet dimmer switches and 15 puck lights. They did no re-wiring of anything.

Their knowledge and thoroughness was definitely outstanding. They went through and did a very thorough inspection to determine what was needed for the job. I was very impressed by that. They were very quick to come out and were able to start almost immediately. I would definitely consider using them in the future or at least get a quote from them. It was a free estimate but as far as the price of the estimate, they were a little bit higher priced than the other quotes I received.

Great job. Done in a timely manner. Great personalities and gave me some tips also.
Description of Work: Had an outside outlet added and landscaping lights.
Buzz and Brandon did an outstanding job. They were both very knowledgeable and professional. They did not waste any time upon arrival -- they began work at the back of the house and completed all projects within two hours. My wife and I will definitely use Griffin Electric for all of our future electrical needs. Highly recommended. Finding them easily justified the cost of our Angie's List subscription.

They come out and fixed the beaker and replace a light switch. In the process of working on the circuit breaker they discovered that many of the connections in my 40+ year old circuit breaker panel had loosened and re-tightened them and made sure that all else was OK in the circuit breaker box.
