We heard the crash- the kitchen chandelier had torn out of the ceiling and glass shattered everywhere. Reliable Electric had installed it 13 months ago. Their electrician, D., arrived at our home a few minutes before I did and my wife let him in. He arrived seething with anger and hostility- my wife said she felt threatened having him in the house. When I got home D. was still steaming mad and was basically shouting at me that it wasn’t their fault and it’s only a 12 month warranty and besides we probably did something to make it happen and so on. When I tried to ask him if he would let me complete a sentence he continued to shout so I walked to another room and he left the house. (My new electrician explained that the deck-style screws Reliable had put into the plastic ceiling can were a little too big and eventually the plastic split.) His boss (the owner?) Rich called the next day. He wasn’t yelling but it was clear customer retention was not a priority for him. No apology for D’s behavior, tried to blame us for the failure, no offer to make good on this (they had done many projects here), no ‘I’ll split it with you’ for what would be 1-2 hours of effort. “Reliable”?- nope.
Description of Work: Ceiling light fell out- see below...

They spoke with me and said that they would return my call and I never heard anything. When I called them back the next day, they said that they only had 2 electricians and that the work would take more than 2 days. This is approximately a 6-hour job. I am not an electrician and could do all of the work in much less time than 2 days!!
Description of Work: I needed receptacles and switches changed out, along with a few light fixtures. I also needed some smoke detectors installed.

It took him forever because there was an issue. He should have been able to resolve the issue a lot quicker. He was great. He did a good job but it just took forever because he had a problem. He could have got someone here to help him.
Description of Work: He installed ceiling lights. He also did under the counter lighting in the kitchen.

Terrible. Avoid this company at all costs. Once they have your money oh well. They are a bunch of crooks
Description of Work: Not solve the problem. Basically waste my time and money. This company is completely incompetent. They can't even install a thermostat correctly.

Perfect. Work requested and performed flawlessly.
Description of Work: We had just moved into our new home and used another electrical company just once and thought the servic was awful and not worth the money. We called Reliable Electric for more electrical work we needed. We are completely satisfied across the board with all we asked to do and what was quoted to us was exactly what we paid. We will continue to use this company when the need arises.

They were excellent. They came at the night when we had a problem. They came during the weekend as well and helped us. They provided excellent customer service. It was a good experience. I picked them up based on their reviews. I rate them high overall. Their price was reasonable. The quality of their work was excellent. They were super responsive. They were very professional. I will definitely use them again in the future.
Description of Work: I used Reliable Electric for some electrical problems in November. I had them run a whole new underground electric line to the home and replace the breaker panel in the house.

They charged way more than the job was worth because I had to have the job redone. I had to call the zoning commissioner and they had to call them to come back because they illegally clipped the electrical box on my house. I called the zoning guy who checked for me about the permit and he found out that Reliable Electric never go the permit, which he had charged me $100 for. I would advise everybody to stay away from them. I literally had to hire someone else to come and check it.
Description of Work: They did electrical work.

Do call him when you need electrical help...Don't bother calling anyone else..
Description of Work: I told him what I needed done which was to ground the electrical wiring to a new garbage disposal and he and I agreed on a fee of $45 He had to drive 15 miles to get here was very polite, explained why I needed the work done, fixed it, didn't try to change the price or add on and couldn't have been a nicer person to deal with... I gave Rick all A's and he will be my first call if I have any other electrical problems...Joe McVay

Description of Work: the first time I used them, they were fine and punctual. However, the second time I tried them, they were busy and said they would get back to me as soon as possoble. I had to tell their receptionist two different times my name and address and the problem. When I called back the second time, i had to go through all the info again to the same person. The electrician did call me back in about a day or two, but I had found someone else. I think the receptionist needs more training. The actual electrician did fine on the first visit, but it was just hard getting them back.

ok overall but this left a bad taste in my mouth about this guy.
Description of Work: 2 ceiling fans were installed, a digital thermostat and a couple of minor things also. everything was "ok" but one of the men blew the remote control for one of the fans and had to go for a replacement; however, he replaced with a bottom of the line remote versus the top of the line that he blew(that we had purchased).
