Griffin Electrical is totally professional and very reasonably priced. From the time I called Mr. Griffin until the time the work was finished, I was very well treated with all of my questions answered. I had 2 major problems. The first was the kitchen outlets were not working and they were repaired quickly. The second problem required the replacement of my great room fans. Mr. Griffin told me what I needed and helped me select the right fans for my home. Mr. Griffin arrived at the time he said he would come and quickly and professionally did the work required. I had an Angie's List coupon which he was happy to honor. The price I paid was unbelievable, and I would have spent at least twice as much with another electrical company. I was and am amazed at his work! I also want to add, Mr. Griffin left my home the way it was when he arrived. I had no cleanup from his work as he made sure all was as it should be. I also like the fact the Mr. Griffin called me the night before the visits to remind me he was coming to my home. If you need an electrician, I highly recommend Griffin Electrical. I give his compnay an A+++ for his service and price. Without Angie's List I would not have found Griffin Electrical for the phome book is full of electricians without ratings from folks like me. Thank you Angie's List.
Description of Work: I needed electrical service as several kitchen outlets were not working and I also needed new ceiling fans installed. Griffin Electrical came twice; once to repair outlets and another time to install new fans as old ones could not be repaired. Mr. Griffin spent considerably time answering my questions and helping me decide what type of fans to buy. A previous electrician could not trouble shoot the problem I had with the fans. Two visit were required since I had to select the ceiling fans I wanted before they could be installed.

They were great! They are polite, knowledgeable and reasonably priced. I will be calling upon them again. I cannot remember what we paid but it was less than what I expected.
Description of Work: We had lightning storm and lost power in portions of our house. They identified and correct the problem within minutes of arriving. The found an outlet (we didn't even know about) in one of our closets had been tripped and needed to be reset. They offered to look at some other electrical items we had been wanting to get addressed since I was paying for an hours worth of work anyway.

In addition to the two (2) ceiling lights Griffin Electric also installed three (3) motion detector lights on the outside of the back of our house. They (Mike, Buzz, and Brandon) not only were very proficient at their work but also took the time to review our request with us to make sure that the end result would be exactly what we were expecting. During their time at the house they were very courteous and the next day Mike called to confirm the outcome of the work. I would definitely utilize their services again and would not hesitate in recommending them to others living in my community.
Description of Work: I had both internal ceiling lighting added in our kitchen and also had motion detector lighting installed in the back of our house.

It was a wonderful experience dealing with the Griffin Electrical family! They performed the work quickly and professionally. Offered tons of advice and information. I would highly recommend Griffin Electrical and definitely plan to call on them again for my future electrical needs.
Description of Work: I had bought a house with hard-wired smoke detectors that were placed too high on the walls for me to get to. They would periodically keep going off - even in the middle of the nite. Not being able to reach them made me a very unhappy homeowner. Griffin came out at the time they said they would and removed the smoke detectors... hooray! I now have smoke detectors that I can reach and change the batteries when needed. I also had a row of outside landscaping lights that after changing the lightbulbs still would not work. After investigating the situation, they found that the electrical cord had been cut. It was so nice to pull up to my house last nite and have all my landscaping lighting lit!

Buzz and Brandon are the best! Great personalities and terrific electricians. I felt comfortable having them in my home. When my cable/internet had a bit of a hiccup they were both back to reroute a few things in order to have me up and running, which was crucial since I teach online! Thanks guys!
Description of Work: Cable outlets installed, cable lines run from the outside to the side and splitters installed.

They did a great job. Gave me a lot of good advice and thoroughly explained everything they were doing to me. Called back to make sure I was happy and came back by to see if I wanted anything changed after viewing my lights at night. Very polite and professional. I plan to use them again when I am ready to add some lighting to my back yard. Thanks Mike, Buzz and Brandon.
Description of Work: I had landscape lighting installed throughout my front yard and motion detector lights for driveway and patio. Lights were installed along walkway, uplights for trees and wall washer lights across front of house. Installed the transformer and set timers.

I was very pleased. They arrived when they said. Got to work immediately. Knew what was wrong instantly and fixed it. Did not have right size exterior electrical box with them; came back next business day when said they would and were done within 20 mins. Cleaned up work area. Also gave advice on other electrical issues in the home - best replacement for under-cabinet lights in the kitchen and another electrical glitch in lights upstairs. I will call them again to take care of these issues and any others I have with electricity. Much faster, expert, solution that seemed affordable. Much better than DIY! Very friendly from start to finish, willing to share their expertise and be efficient. Great father - son team!
Description of Work: Very quickly diagnosed and located reason I had not had electrical power to all my outdoor sockets for years! An easy fix. Also very quickly installed exterior electrical outlet on front porch which had been broken and we had abandoned DIY efforts years before. Cleaned up their mess and were done quickly. Because did not have right exterior box for outlet replacement on first visit, had to come back next business day. Only charged for 1-1/2 service calls - not 2.

Buzz and his partner showed up in the 9:00 timeframe as promised. Upon arriving, we went over the work to be completed and even some possible work in the future. After going over the tasks to be completed, Buzz and his partner got right to work. The outlet for the over the range microwave required a new line to the breaker box in the garage and the two outlets in the garage that were installed were on a wall with no existing power which also required a new line to the breaker box. Prior to the visit I was under the impression that I would have conduit attached to the wall of my garage to support the new outlets, but Buzz assured me that he would do everything in his power to avoid using conduit and to hide the wires. Buzz came through on his promise and was able to hide the wires flawlessly! As a bonus, Buzz rewired a three way light switch for our bathroom. Whenever the lights to the master bath were turned on, an outlet by the bed would turn off which sounds like no big deal, but it was a huge inconvenience. At the conclusion of the visit which only took two hours, Buzz notified me that while under the house he noticed several puddles of water that had formed on crawlspace moister barrier. I would never have known this because I do not do crawlspaces! I would definitely hire Griffin Electric again and plan to next spring to install an attic exhaust fan. I really can?t say enough about these guys? they were great!
Description of Work: 1. Install an outlet over the oven for an over the range microwave. 2. Install two new power outlets in the garage. 3. Rewire a three way light switch.

I called Griffin Electric on a Thursday morning and spoke with Mike Griffin. He and his son were able to come out that afternoon to give me an estimate of the work that I needed done. I felt the estimate was very reasonable and was impressed with their knowledge and friendly demeanor. We set an appointment for 9AM Monday and they arrived as agreed ..even 15 minutes early. They immediately got to work, were careful to go over with us exactly what we wanted done, and made careful measurements and assessments to make sure that all of the lights were installed and working correctly before they left. They could not have been more accommodating to our requests. The work was completed in approximately 4 hours and we are really enjoying our new lighting! I would definitely recommend and use them again. They were a pleasure to have in our home.
Description of Work: I had 10 recesssed ceiling lights installed. Seven in my kitchen and 3 in my family room. I have a two story home and these were being installed on the first floor so the work needed to be done in a ceiling that was between the floors. That of course included the installation of switches and dimmers.

Mike and Mike installed a ceiling fan at 5:30 p.m. This involved running wire in my attic and down to an existing outlet. My house was built in the '50s, and this proved to be a bit of a challenge. It was HOT, and Mike, Jr. was sweating like crazy. They were both very professional and friendly and personable.
Description of Work: Installation of ceiling fan, including running wire in the attic and drilling through the ceiling. (There had never been a fan in my living room before.)

Called late morning and were able to come out that afternoon. Came on time and ready to work. Once found the short in the fan, told me that I was paying for the entire hour and did I have any other projects that I needed completed. Out came my punch list and got through three additional items. Charged less for entire hour than I had been quoted for fixing the outdoor outlet by another company. Also gave estimates much less on changing GFCI outlets and grounding the whole house than other company.
Description of Work: Determined why ceiling fan was blowing a fuse when turned on. Changed a switch that was arcing. Fixed a nonworking outdoor socket.

See above. I received a lot of valuable explanations and advice on replacing appliances, fixtures, surge protectors, and on calling my AC / Heating Unit service provider to find out from them the amount of damage incurred. Mr. Mike Griffin also phoned me recently to hear from me how all those repairs and replacements were proceeding. I am very happy to have met these two gentlemen, and will certainly call on them again should the need arise.
Description of Work: I had a power surge during the night after a hail and thunder storm. Mike and Buzz Griffin (father and son) arrived in mid-morning but couldn't do anything until Duke Energy was finished repairing the damaged outside lines, which took two men a total of three hours. The Griffins returned in mid-afternoon and spent two hours checking every appliance, fixture, outlet etc. in the entire house. Where appropriate, they explained to me in great detail what had happened and what I could expect in terms of damage done and repairs / replacements needed. They are extraordinarily professional!

Buzz with Griffin Electric did a fantastic job! He worked quickly & efficiently, was friendly and was courteous with my pets. The company is fairly expensive, but worth it in the end - punctual and all tasks were completed in a timely manner.
Description of Work: The company had to pick up where a different electrician left off - diagnosing/troubleshooting problems and a laundry list of other electrical needs. Repaired wiring in attic, fixed security lighting, installed two lights/exhausts in bathrooms, installed kitchen chandelier, fixed kitchen ceiling fan, added one outlet in bedroom, removed 12 ceiling heat thermostats and added blank covers, installed utility light cover in kitchen pantry, identified two control switches.
