Best experience with an electrician bar none! Courteous and professional. Resolved every issue that I had and was extremely efficient. I would ask for Scott Jones. He fixed everything in an hour and really knew what he was doing.

Old wiring and receptacles were repaired or replaced, new receptacles and light fixtures were added, a new 20amp circuit was run to power a commercial espresso machine, light fixtures were moved or repositioned and all was done quickly and professionally. The cost was extremely reasonable and the final bill was less than the origional estimate!

Todd(?) called me to let me know that my electrician was a little off time today. He called promptly and it was no big deal to me. My electrician, Scott, ended up getting here earlier than Todd had thought. When I showed him what I wanted him to do he said he thought it'd take him about an hour and a half. Instead he was done in an hour and it cost $75.00. Scott was friendly and worked quickly. He also asked me if I was an Angie's List customer and I paid $55 instead of $75. I had totally forgotten to mention it so I appreciate that he asked!

He came out and worked slower than a turtle. I actually did not have him complete the job, because he was going way over the coupon time on purpose. So, I asked him to leave. I had to have another company come out and do the job. I would not use them again.

I emailed Foster's Electric on Monday inquiring about pricing and availability. I immediately received a response back letting me know their hourly rate and that appointments were open on Thursday and Friday at 9am. I scheduled via email for Thursday at 9am. Scott emailed me earlier that morning to let me know that he might be running late. I asked him to call me when he was about to travel to my house, and he called me a few minutes later to let me know that he was on his way. I live approximately ten minutes from work, and he was here waiting on me when I arrived. I really appreciated his promptness since I was taking my lunch early to meet him at the house. He immediately went to work looking at the outlets in question and the AFCI system. Since we just moved into the house two weeks ago, we were unaware that the outlets were controlled by light switches. Scott was very nice and didn't make me feel stupid for not being aware. He also checked the AFCI system, said that it was working appropriately, and fully explained it to me. He also checked out the system in both the box and in the basement to trace the wires. He told me that everything was well organized and looked good. The only recommendation that he made was to tighten some of the outlets from where painting had occurred. He even showed me how to do it. He also said to call and ask for him if I should ever have any problems since he is now familiar with our system. If the need arises, I will definitely call and use Foster's Electric again and ask for Scott. Even though Scott did not have to make any repairs, he really gave me peace of mind.
Description of Work: Scott checked a few outlets that we thought were not working and the AFCI system. However, everything was working properly! We just purchased the home and were unaware that the outlets were controlled by light switches!

Problem is not fixed. They replaced a ballast in game room and checked box in basement. After they left, some outlets & lights did not work and we had to find the problem (switches in box were off). The original problem is not fixed either. UPDATE: Everything went very well this visit. Jay was professional and knowledgeable.
Description of Work: The lights were blinking & turning on and off in home office. Two men came (so we were charged double) and they said it was the switch. They went to store & returned & replaced switch. I asked to check wiring in office but just stuck head up & said it was the switch. Lights are still blinking. UPDATE: I had sent in a review on a card that was posted on Sept. 22. The service was done August 6, and the problem was not fixed, plus the charges were more than expected. The company contacted us and wanted to try to make this right, but after the first visit, we were afraid to use them again. After having the same issue with the lights going on and off, but smelling fire and hearing a "sizzling sound," I contacted them again. They were prompt in sending someone out, and this time, he was very professional and took the time to find and fix the problem. The electrician's name who came to our home was Jay, and my husband, who had been so upset over the first visit, was impressed with this fellow. We have not had any more issues, and I am very thankful to Ted Foster for working to correct the problems of the first visit, and also to finally fix the problem.

PJ called half hour before he was scheduled to be here to let me know he was on his way. Was right on time, got right to work, and fixed everything I asked him to. Professional, polite, clean, and fast. He was exactly what you expect a worker to be but rarely get.
Description of Work: Fixed several outlets that didn't work. Troubled shooted outside electrical pool problem and replaced a damaged fixture. He also gave me a bid on an installation of a ceiling fan in our kitchen.

Bought the "deal" on Angies List. They contacted me right away to tell me my mobile home did not qualify and mailed a check the same day & I received a 100% refund in very short order w/in 2 days! Kudos goes out to them! I can 100% recommend them as being honest and forthright in their dealings with clients.

I saw the coupon on Angie's List that electrical work cost $62 for 1 hr. Called, made appt., and in fact, the electrician called me on the day of the appt. and asked if he could arrive early! He quickly found the problem and replaced the outside wall receptacle. Since he had worked quickly, he had enough time to fix an indoor wall outlet. I didn't expect that one. He worked quickly and was finished before the hour was up.

An estimate was given to us along with instructions about materials we were to provide (choice of light fixtures). When the workers came they set about the work, explaining each step before they did it. In determining the order of doing the three tasks, they took into consideration how the noise of each would affect the ability of the three babies in the house to have undisturbed naps. The locations of the work were as clean when they left as when they came. The work taking less than the anticipated amount of time, the actual charge was $150 less than the estimate.

I contacted the company and explained what we needed to be installed. The owner explained in detail what I needed to purchase to be ready for our appointment to have everything properly installed. Scott came to our home and was very professional. He was very prompt, polite, and finished the job in a very timely manner. Our neighbors, who live across the street, came to our home while he was working outside and asked if he could do work at their home. They were very pleased with Scott and the work he performed as well. We are happy to find a company who does excellent work at a reasonable price. We would highly recommend them! We used the Angie's List coupon. Great to find a company with fantastic customer service, reliability, and workmanship.
