I am very pleased with the electrical work done by Bill. I had called a couple of other electricians, who never returned my call. Bill not only answered his phone, but came out the same day to look at my project. He then gave me a very reasonable estimate shortly after that, and completed the work within the next week. He took care of all of the permits, contacted the inspector, and also the electrical company. He was prompt, friendly, truthful, professional, and did excellent work! I would definitely recommend him and will call him again if I ever need any electrical work done. He has values that so many do not anymore. It was more than a pleasure doing business with him!!!

He was patient, professional, ,methodical, calm, educational, knowledgeable, and fantastically beyond reasonable! I highly recommend Mr Perhne and will refer him to everyone I know.
Description of Work: checked every electrical outlet in my house. checked all wires going into breaker box, check light switch in garage, changed 7 electrical outlets. He found what was causing our problems and fixed them. He traced the electrical grid to find what electrical outlets that were on the same circuit and marked each one on the electric box.

Showed up on time. Worked diligently to track down my issues. My house was wire by crazy people when it was originally built. Very personable and professional man. I would definitely recommend him, and actually already have given his number to a co-worker.

Bill arrived around 10 AM and was very thorough in checking the 2 faulty circuits we had. He was patient and thorough and willing to answer questions. There is no long story except that of a contractor who delivered what he said he would and at a very reasonable price.
Description of Work: Bill came over to check the wiring and devices in two of the rooms in our house. HE also came to check 2 Arc Fault Breakers to make sure we did not have an arc fault developing.

Mr. Perhne did an excellent job for me. He thought about how do things for maximum benefit. He didn't simply do what was asked of him but rather helped me through the process with good advice. Mr. Perhne's mannerisms are not typical for this area, and that's not a bad thing. He's very studious in his thought process which some people may mistake for being slow initially. He's far from that and his work is excellent. When you speak with him plan to take some extra time to describe what it is you want, listen to and weigh his feedback carefully. The results will be well worth the effort. In summary, I would wholeheartedly recommend him and his work.
Description of Work: I had started to wire a free standing build but ran out of time, desire and ability. He finished and corrected the work I had started. The building is now wired, through inspection and attached to the electric service. Most importantly it's safe. I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome.

I read many write-ups on Angie's list for electrical contractors and kept coming back to Bill Perhne Electrical. His prices seemed more than reasonable and, unlike some electricians, there was no minimum cost to walk through the door. I called Bill on Monday and made an appointment for Wednesday evening at 6:00. I warned him that I have had other electricians try to fix the problems without success. Let me tell you right from the top, my experience turned out better than the best review I've read! First of all, he was right on time. If you have dealt with any contractors in this area (plumbing, electrical or general), you know that this is rare. One of my problems was a set of three 4-way switches in a hallway. The first and middle one seemed to work fine, but the 3rd one turned the light on only when the switch was in the middle. As Bill went through the process, he explained how they were supposed to work and the intricacies of a 4-way switch. After some diagnosing, he determined that one of the switches was the wrong one and in addition, it was wired incorrectly. The next one was, to me, the most challanging. I have 4 switches in my foyer. 3 seemed to work great, but if I flipped the fourth one, then none worked. Undaunted, Bill went to work diagnosing, testing and explaining as he went along. As it turned out, one of the switches on this was the wrong one and another was wired incorrectly. After living in the house for 8 years and having electricians look at this twice previously, I thought I would have to live with it, but Bill came to the rescue! His bill was much lower than I expected and his courteousness and professionalism were evident from the very beginning. Thank you again Bill for a job well done!
Description of Work: Re-wire 2 sets of 4-way switches

He was rather old-school and wasn't sure what he was doing. It didn't go very well for me. I don't think he had enough experience. I think I could have done the work quicker than he could have. He said that he had been electrician for 30 years, but I don't think he is up-to-date with how things are wired these days.
Description of Work: Bill Perhne Electric came out and gave me an estimate, but I didn't have him do any work. He stated that he charged $55 per hour, and he wasn't sure how many hours it would take him. He was going to be wiring in a new appliance I had purchased.

Response from Bill Perhne Electric
The response submitted by the member was most likely not hers but the words of her property co owner. I told her (the member) before hand that I would charge $55.00 for the first hour and 35.00 for each additional hour to do the job. She agreed to that price before I went out there. After I went out there and looked at everything very closely (she watched every thing I did) and determined the best way to do the job, I told her that I would come back on the following Tuesday to do the work. I told her I would go immediately and see if I could get the materials and call her to confirm the Tuesday date. I got the materials and called her to confirm the Tuesday date. She said O.K. About 45 minutes later I received a call from her co owner (the member never mentioned a co owner ). She said they did not need my services. If the member didn't need my services, she should have told me before I left. It is easy for a homeowner to get any unlicensed "electrician"to do the job after I went to all of the trouble to show them what needs to be done. Believe me, it happens all the time. I stand by the work I do. I have many good customers in this area that can testify to my quality work.

Mr.Perhne was to be here on another day but he got held up on the job he was on,but he called and explained.After he disconnected the power, he explained what he would do on reconnect of new shed. After the delivery of shed, He said he would be here the following Monday at 8:00am. He was here at 7:45am and started work immediately. It was an all day job. After he cleaned everything up and explained all he did. He presented us with an itemized bill. His service was excellent. Would not hesitate to call him or recommend him to anyone whom needed residential electrical work.
