Description of Work: I purchased a "special deal" from Angie's list. Michael fixed some problems with circuit breakers which were result of a storm. Afterward, he went around the house checking outlets, reassuring me all was well. I was extremely pleased with the service and will definitely call him again for my future electrical needs. Michael also did work at my son's house--repairing a fixture, installing new ceiling fan and checking overall electrical system. My son was pleased and satisfied also and will use Michael for any future electrical needs.

This was our first time using this company. They were super super friendly. They were very clean and cleaned up right away after themselves. They were very helpful. We haven't had any issues with any of the work they did. Everything is working perfectly. They came out really fast. There was no problem with scheduling. I thought the price was very fair.
Description of Work: I used a big deal purchase for A1 Electric. They switched out light fixtures for fans with light fixtures. They took down two chandeliers and put up two other ones. They put the chandeliers together for us.

The last time we hired Mike, his son assisted him. This time his wife assisted! They both went to work right away and got all our jobs completed expeditiously. They always do the work perfectly, quickly and courteously. I will ALWAYS call Mike for electric work in our home and business.

I purchased an Angie's List Big Deal for this service and it turned out okay. They were nice and good. He worked about 20 minutes and we had agreed to the Big Deal price of $100 upfront for two hours of work, but I told him to just keep the money. I called him and we scheduled his service within several days so he promptly came right here. He had trouble getting his truck started, but other than that he was fine. He is a nice guy and I would use him again if I need something small done. We got along fine and he did what he said he would do and was here when he said he would be; I can't ask for much more than that.
Description of Work: I used A1 Electric to change a ground fault interruptor and also do a few other little things.

Response from A1 Electric
(Member name removed) is a fantastic person to work with. It didn't take long to complete the repairs that he needed, so we didn't charge him for the GFCI receptacle ($15 value) that needed to be replaced. (Member name removed) also received a 1 hour credit for any future electrical work. Any of our customers who don't use both hours of service that they purchase will receive a credit for future work.

The contractor scheduled service within a couple days of the time I called. On the service date, Mike and his son arrived on time (actually a few minutes early). We discussed the symptoms of our electrical problem and they immediately began investigating the issue. Soon they discovered the problem (an intermittently defective breaker, not an easy find) and replaced it. They also did wiring and support for a new ceiling fan, which we purchased separately, and ran service for a new outfit. Mike and his son were very considerate, very courteous, knowledgable, and thoughtful. Their thoughtfulness extended both to us personally and to the work performed. For example: when running new wiring into our attic for a new outlet, they included a *second* wire (at no extra cost) for future electrical needs. Their work is neat, robust, and thorough. Overall, I highly recommend this contractor and shall certainly request them when we next need electrical service work.
Description of Work: Replace breaker, install ceiling fan, run line for new outlet.

Mike and his wife arrived on-time and did a nice job on installing my new ceiling fan fan and checking the wiring for my smoke detectors. They were very friendly and professional. They even re-made my bed, which was under the fan, when they were done. I had to run to the store while they were there and felt comfortable leaving them alone in the house. I had to call Mike twice before I got a response and the voicemail was not set-up so I was hoping I was leaving a message with the right place. Apparently my number came up as a solicitor. I called to get an estimate to see if I should buy the Angies List Deal and it ended up less expensive to not buy it. Overall, I was very happy with the service!

I had him come out and he looked at the light I needed fixed that was located under my cabinets. I felt like he was not familiar with the type of fixture and light I had. He said he was going to order a replacement part, which would only take a couple of days. I have not heard from him since.

Response from A1 Electric
I completed the list of electrical issues for the customer, with the exception of an under cabinet light. The light fixture is a 12v xenon fixture and would spontaneously turn off & on. In my experience it seemed that the problem may be due to thermal overload. I drove to a supply house and bought a new ballast, came back and installed it in the fixture. That didn't solve the problem, so I determined that it was a bad switch. I drove to several supply houses to try to locate a replacement switch, but was unable to find one. I returned to the customers' home and told her that I would try to track down a replacement switch locally and might have to resort to finding one online and would contact her when I was able to find it.

i bought the big deal for two hours of electrical service. well, two people showed up, mike and michelle. so it turned into 1 hour. but let me tell you in one hour they completed what i needed done: they installed 2 GFCI outlets , fixed two outdoor outlets that did not have power, and drilled out the holes on all the receptacles in pool room so i could go get covers and install them, because they did not have them with them. i will use them again in my next house to install the ceiling fans

This is my second time bringing in Mike and I have no doubt in my mind that they are the team to bring in for my next few electrical jobs during my home upgrade. I'm really looking forward to working with them again. Mike and his son came in within the hour of my phone call, which was amazing in itself because I had actually planned and scheduled on them coming over the next day. For them to be flexible is another plus. They removed my old ceiling fan unit and dimmer switch and assembled the new ceiling fan; quickly. They reinstalled the dimmer switch in the new fan and were complete and done with the job, including cleaning up after the mess, all under 40minutes. Looking forward to working with them again!

These two guys came in the middle of an insane rain storm and very quickly knocked out the wiring, dimmer install and fan installation on both of these fans. I can't wait to use these guys again.
Description of Work: For two weeks I tried to get someone to my house to install two dimmers in two different ceiling fans; one in the bedroom and one in the living room. Everyone I contacted literally told me that the job was too small. To me, a job is a job.
